I'm not old enough to even own my computer.
This thing burst into my mind at school today and demanded to be written, but then it pooped on me and is short. And I love how most of Zack's lines end in exclamation points. And there's lots of smiling.
Before you ask, yes, it's real, but I doubt it gets that big. Hey, everything on Gaia is huge!
The eternal battle raged on.
"Za-ack!" Aerith crossed her arms sternly. "Get the wheat bread! Wheat!"
"Aw, but Aerith!" Zack faked a pout. "Wheat bread is all... wheaty! And you can't make a grilled cheese sandwich without getting all the grains stuck in your teeth!" It was true. He'd tried it.
Aerith mimicked his expression. "But Zack, we're buying my groceries, and I like wheat bread."
"Aw..." Unable to defeat this logic, Zack replaced the white bread on the cart with the wheat variation, smiling nonetheless. "Alright, but mark my words! You'll be spending thirty minutes brushing your teeth tonight!"
It was Zack's first day off in ages, and unable to spend it with the busy Sephiroth instead offered to go grocery shopping with Aerith. She'd happily agreed, so the couple strolled leisurely down the aisles in search of nutrition, bantering over which foods they did and did not need. It was far more fun than shopping alone.
"Well," Aerith said with a smile, "if you're that concerned, we should get some vanilla and bananas, and we can make banana bread."
Zack grinned. Aerith and Elmyra's baking was delicious. "That's a great idea! But we'll get the wheat bread anyway, since you can't make a grilled cheese sandwich with banana bread."
His girlfriend laughed. "You're going to drive me bankrupt. We still have to get the cheese, too." But that only made the soldier grin wider.
"Then I'll pay myself!"
"But then you'll go bankrupt."
"No I won't!"
"Really really!"
Aerith smiled. "Well, alright then, but you're asking for it!"
"No worries!"
Actually, with his reduced paycheck, he probably would run his account dry. But hey! Something always turned up, and until then he could snack on ramen.
Or Aerith's food, but gentlemen didn't do that. Certainly not Zack.
"Now." Zack steered the cart towards the produce section, the wheels squeaking in protest. "To make banana bread, we need bananas!"
"Yup!" Aerith walked alongside him. "And Mom likes oranges, too, so we'll get some of those."
"Of course!"
This was much more fun than flirting with random women at work. There'd been some thrill in that, but now the best part of Zack's day was calling Aerith, or talking to Aerith, or seeing Aerith, or jumping in puddles with Aerith. The littlest things sent his happiness skyrocketing, and all he needed was for Aerith to be there. She was so much more special than all the other women! And it wasn't physical beauty, even if she was the cutest thing he'd ever seen; she had a pure soul, and a spirit like fire. Since meeting her, he'd never flirted with anyone else. There was no one else.
Good thing, too, because he was willing to bet Seph would've gone crazy if he'd had to rescue Zack from his victims' angry boyfriends one more time.
"Now, get two bunches so we can eat some later." Aerith said, turning around to pick a pair of oranges off their tables. "Or three, if you want one for yourself."
"Two bunches! Got it."
Zack loved fruit. Sure, he loved sugar and spicy things too, but there was just no replacement for a good old batch of raspberries or an orange. And he'd gotten around to trying one of those Banora Whites, too; he preferred regular apples, but those things were delicious! They tasted so good for something that looked ill. And now that he was thinking about it, he kinda wanted one now, but this store didn't stock them. Aw. But Aerith's cooking would make up for it! Smiling at the prospect of an afternoon of fun and delicious food, Zack absent-mindedly reached for a bunch of bananas, lifting the nearest one out of its place.
A six-inch spider sprang out of its revealed hiding spot, aiming for Zack's nose.
With SOLDIER reflexes and an embarrassingly high-pitched yelp Zack batted the flying arachnid away from his face to the floor, where he could have sworn it hissed before leaping forward to viciously assault his foot. It was rewarded with a boot to the face, skidding across the floor until an alarmed Aerith squashed it beneath her shoe.
The startled pair stared at it for a moment, then simultaneously looked up at each other.
"Holy cow!" Zack rubbed the back of his head. "I don't think that belongs in the produce section."
"Sure doesn't look like a banana to me." Aerith smiled, kneeling down next to the mangled body-- and promptly shooting upwards again with a squeal, stomping her foot upon it once more.
"It's still alive!"
Of course, Zack instantly took his cue. "I'll save you!" he cried.
By now, the other customers were watching with mixed expressions of horror and, now, amusement; Zack had quite thoroughly pounded the offending critter to pieces, until he was sure that the thing would never again frighten the living daylights out of his girlfriend. Or himself, for that matter. The soldier stood back to admire his handiwork.
"Yup! No more zombie spiders here, folks!" he chirped to the surrounding crowd. Several onlookers snickered, then shuffled away from the disgusting stain as quickly as possible. Unaffected, Zack turned to Aerith. "You alright?"
"Uh huh!" Aerith knelt down once more, and this time was not rewarded with a violent twitch. "You got him good, Zack."
The young man grinned, putting his hands on his hips. No unreasonably large arthropods could get between him and his Aerith! It was funny things like this that made every day worth living. Now he had a great story to tell, even though the others would probably not believe him at first. But maybe they would believe it if Zack admitted to being startled out of his wits. The thing had jumped out like a bolt from the blue!
"Didn't I? Man, though." Zack knelt down with her. "I bet this whole thing just cut my lifespan in half."
"Aw, well, I think it doubled up again after you killed it." The brunet girl stood up with a smile. "I guess that means I'll live to two hundred, since I originally disabled it."
"Yeah!" Zack stood upright too, giving her a hug. "You could be my sidekick!"
"Really really!"
Aerith returned the hug, then stepped back and frowned. "He was pretty big, though. I wonder what kind of spider it was?"
"I'll ask Seph later." Zack said, turning back to their deceased nemesis. He made a face at it. "I've seen monster spiders bigger than that, though. There was one the size of a desk once!"
"Yikes!" Aerith put a hand over her mouth in mock horror. "So I guess you've had practice, huh?"
"Yep! I'm Zack the Spider Hunter!" He posed, causing Aerith to laugh.
"Then why did you yell when it jumped out at you?"
"Because it scared me!" Zack stuck his tongue out. "You yelled, too."
Aerith mimicked his expression-- again. "Well, I'm not a trained professional, so I have an excuse."
"Bah! It startled me, that's all!" He looked down at it again. "Really though, we'd better go find someone to clean this up." It always bothered him that insects-- or arachnids, in this case-- had yellowish blood. The thing was smeared across the floor, and Zack became conscious that there was a crunching noise every time his foot came down. A little grossed out, he began wiping the bottom of his shoe against the floor.
"I think one of the other customers already went, so we can just get what we need while we wait for them to get here."
Zack grinned sheepishly. "I kinda lost my appetite..." he said apologetically.
"Don't worry, it'll be back by the time we're finished." Aerith took the bananas still in her boyfriend's hand. "I think we should probably get a different bunch of bananas, though."
"From another shelf. In a brightly lit area."
"Yep. Hee hee."
Zack rubbed the back of his head, casting the huge spider puddle one last glance before turning away. "Man, all I wanted was a banana..."
...And then we went home and made banana bread, and it was delicious, and that's how we defeated the giant evil radioactive zombie spider!
Somehow I think the last part could have been omitted.
Well, yeah, but banana bread is tasty! Seriously, though. Any idea what it was, Seph?
Probably a Wandering Spider, so named for their habit of wandering the ground at night. They live in tropical areas, so in the daylight they look for dark places to hide. Such as between bunches of bananas. That you found one in the grocery store was incompetence on behalf of the staff.
Naw, I think it was an accident. The thing could've fit over my face! Do they always grow that big?
I believe they can grow up to ten inches. And besides that, they're the most venomous natural spiders in the world, and dangerously aggressive.
...Wow. Looks like we got lucky.
It is unlikely you would have died. Hojo didn't, at any rate. There was one in his desk when I was young.
Heh. I bet he screamed like a girl.
...Why was there a giant venomous spider in Hojo's desk?

Market Your Photo Workshops & Seminars
Many times I came across workshops or seminars and realized it was too late to register because the date for the event had already passed. After asking around I discovered that the sponsor only advertised locally.
Don't think like that.
I know a lot of photogs that will travel in the tri-state area (NY/CT/NJ) just to attend a workshop. Soon after creating the Long Island Photography Meetup a member joined who lived in New Jersey. I could have blocked his membership but what's the point? His gallery was awesome and he was involved online. And eventually he was the first arrival at Meetups.
Taking this into consideration, it's prudent to advertise bigger than you think you are. If you're a local club, advertise your event further than you would travel. There's folks out there that are willing to go the distance.
No comments posted.

Hello all, Happy December!
This has been cross-posted to a couple of places, so apologies if you've already seen it :) Written to try to work my way through writer's block. And, of course, because Horatio and Calleigh are a weakness of mine ;)
Calleigh collected the last of her things from her locker and closed it up for the night. She was just picking up her coat from the bench when Horatio walked in.
"Doing anything good tonight?" he asked, his head bowed as usual. It often struck her, in her occasional reveries about the Lieutenant, that he seriously must not know where he was heading. His head drooped, his dark glasses on…it was surprising he was as unscathed as he was. "Calleigh?"
She realised she was in one such reverie. Her shoulder fell against the locker block, her feet crossing at the ankle. "Ask me tomorrow?"
"That good?"
"Blind date."
"Ah," he mused.
"I'm thinking I can be home by around 10ish, maybe curled up in bed by half past…" A finger played against the underside of her chin, while her eyes looked into the distance, formulating a plan. "Alone that is," she corrected.
"High hopes, I see."
"Well, I'm a scientist; I work with evidence, no? From what I have been told about this guy, Kevin," she counted off on her fingers, "he works security at a bank."
"Strike one?" Horatio smiled.
The 'security guy' finger pointed at him in a 'dead on' gesture. "Two: he is tall. Which translates to anything above five foot four inches."
Horatio nodded his understanding.
A third finger was added, "Three. He likes cop shows, so believes he has an understanding of the criminal system…from Sipowicz." Her eyes signalled her alarm and shame.
"And four…the doozy," a hand came massaged at her temple, before her whole face transformed into that of a Paris-wannabe. "He's, like, from Louisiana! That's, like, where I'm from!" Calleigh's feigned excitement and shock, obviously an impression of whoever set them up together, dissolved into despair. She had to stop talking to people who worked at Starbucks.
"And you're still going because…"
"The Miami County Fair's in town. That's where I'm meeting him. I wanted to go and it's just a little bit too sad to go on your own." She shrugged. At least she was getting something out of it.
"Well, good luck. You never know, this guy may turn out to be six-foot-one with an actual legal history with criminal law and only moonlights as security."
She leant in close to whisper, "A girl can hope."
A girl may hope, but wishes do not always come true. Her instincts where right, Kevin was an ass. Of the grandest scale.
He apparently gave into the Southern stereotype just a little too much, seeing Calleigh Duquesne as the Scarlett O'Hara damsel in distress. Luckily, thankfully and by the grace of whoever above, he did not know about her career. Kevin had already boasted that he had seen every episode of 'NYPD Blue' and 'Law & Order', which was apparently quite a feat with the amount of seasons they had both had. Who knew?
But the Fair was amazing. She had instantly regressed to being six years old and holding her Daddy's hand as he took her on all the rides and won her stuffed animals that were even bigger than her.
"Oh, perfect!" Kevin exclaimed as they passed the Tilt-O-Whirl and sidestepped the fallen hotdog. "A shooting gallery!"
She grimaced just a bit.
"I happen to be quite a good shot. It's all the training we have to do to work security. We have to save lives, you know?" He beamed, impressed with himself. "And I have a couple of firearms at home. A couple 9-mils, some 38's. I bought them from a guy who comes in the bank. You don't need all that paperwork that the cops say you do," he shook his head, oblivious to the fact that Calleigh had stopped walking a few steps behind. "Come on! I'll win you giant teddy!"
She was almost ready to quit the night right then and there. If it wasn't for a glimpse of the unmistakable red head propping up the shooting gallery.
She had to chuckle as Horatio welcomed Kevin, taking his money and handing him the pellets for the simple shoot-a-duck target game. She began to follow Kevin's gestures, flashing a grin to Horatio but shaking her head a slight, signalling not to alert her date to them knowing one another.
"Ma'am," Horatio smiled.
"Sir," Calleigh smiled back.
"Babe," Kevin said, causing her to shoot him a 'what?' expression. "Start picking your animal 'cause I rule at this game."
She smiled and nodded, letting him live his fantasy. He shot at the targets, to his credit one of the ducks collapsed back.
"That's one," Horatio said, keeping score.
Kevin tried again. He missed the second target.
"You have one pellet left, young man. You need two out of three to get a prize," Horatio warned, watching Calleigh fighting her giggle.
He missed the ducks again.
Calleigh squeezed Kevin's arm, "Oh, don't worry, babe."
Horatio produced a marbled bouncing ball. "Your prize for hitting one target."
Kevin looked at it in disdain, and passed it to Calleigh. It wasn't quite the giant pink teddy he was hoping for.
"Maybe the lady would like to shoot?" Horatio asked, passing the gun to Calleigh.
The date was already over, why not have some fun? She fell into Kevin's stereotype of her, and poured on the accent. "Oh, a gun? I don't think little ol' me could shoot something like that!"
Kevin saw it as way to re-establish his ego, being a better shot than the petite gorgeous blonde at his side. "Give it a try, babe!"
"Oh, okay!" Her cheeks dimpled at the grin she portrayed.
"Now, listen," Kevin told her, "Shooting is more of a man's sport, so don't worry if you miss."
"Yes, miss, it's more of a man's sport," Horatio repeated, relishing in the 'bite me' look on Calleigh's face.
So, what was she to do? Make Kevin feel like a man again and throw her perfect aim off? Or show him just how much of a 'man's sport' shooting was, and hit all her targets and win him the toy?
She looked at Kevin's hopeful smile. She was already going to shatter him when she not only told him she was going to be busy for the next decade or so, but also that he was breaking the law with his unregistered firearms and was actually on a date with a member of the Miami Dade Police Department. She might as well give him something to hold on too…
So she did. Calleigh Duquesne, nationally renowned 'Bullet Girl', missed all three ducks barely five-foot from her. But she saw Kevin's face light up so that was all she needed.
That is, until he turned and said "That's okay, babe! You just stay looking pretty."
She didn't even need to say a word to Horatio, just shot him a look and found more pellets in her hand. She loaded up and shot the hell out of the targets in rapid succession.
Horatio grinned at the beaming smile on Calleigh's face. "That's how us pretty girls do it!"
"How… How…?"
"Kevin, dear sweet Kevin," she said, pulling her shield out of her bag, "I'm CSI2 Calleigh Duquesne, specialising in ballistics analysis, and you? You just got whooped by a girl. Also, I'm sorry to say that I don't think I can see you again, but you will be seeing some of my co-workers when they come to collect the illegal firearms you just admitted to keeping." She took a breath and clicked her cheek, "Sorry, babe."
Kevin was at a loss for words, his wide eyes scanned around him, settling on the shield that Horatio was now flashing, his hands on his hips and his blazer to the sides. He spun on his heel and walked away.
Calleigh groaned out her relief. "Oh, Thank God!" She tottered up to the free space near Horatio and hopped up for a seat. "What are you doing here anyway, Handsome? Not that I'm not glad to see you."
"I got a call a few hours ago from the Fair directors to say that their shooting gallery guy was sick and they didn't have a qualified replacement, and could I send someone to help out. I figured you would some how end up around the guns and might need bailing out from your date, so I thought I'd offer my services."
"God bless you," she grinned. Her face turned serious for a second, "Hey, where's my giant pink teddy? I got all the targets!"
Horatio's head drooped in amusement, as he lifted down the oversized stuffed animal. It was at least half her height and twice her width, but she clung onto it like that six year old she used to be.

Personal Background
Fans are in awe of the very large Irishman who very rarely speaks but dominates opponents regularly with his size and strength. "The Irish Giant" could silence a room with just his enormous presence, which allowed him to quell multiple bar fights in his home country in a very short amount of time. This natural ability to toss around and control angry bar patrons lent itself perfectly to the world of pro wrestling. After he broke up a bar fight, a U.S. wrestling promoter, who just happened to be on vacation at the time, offered to pay for Angus to travel to the U.S. and enter a wrestling training camp. The trainers were shocked at his massive size and Angus found power moves and strikes to come very easy to him. After only 4 months of training, Angus made his debut at an independent event and earned a stunned reaction from the crowd when he entered the ring and cleared an entire heel stable with a few short blows. The loud cheers that followed and the news that quickly spread by word-of-mouth made Angus an instant fan favorite. He went on to dominate the independent scene, which included an impressive 205-2-7 win-loss-draw record. After WWE caught wind of him, they quickly took notice and offered him a contract. Angus accepted and the Irish Giant has been blowing away fans and brutalizing opponents since.
Career Overview
Year 2:
Made his debut in October... He feuded briefly with Billy Carter and Paulie Dominos on separate occasions in his first few months... In December, Rusty enlisted his help in his feud against Billy and ECW champ Zach Wesley... Rusty defeated Zach at Tribute to the Troops to win the ECW Title...

In March, he qualified for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match... At WrestleMania, he was able to scale the ladder and capture the coveted briefcase
Year 3:
Began the year holding the Money in the Bank briefcase and rocking an impressive unbeaten streak... In May, he started protecting World Heavyweight champ Rebel Ford from Ace's attempts to attack... This led to a Table Match between Angus and Ace at the Extreme Rules PPV, which Angus won... After the match and due to Rebel's recent unappreciative nature, Angus stopped helping him... He formed a pseudo-alliance with the American Cool trio in their feud against the G.L.O.W. team of Joseph T. Lutte and Quinn Cadbury, helping them win a 6-man tag match on the Smackdown "go home" show days before the King of the Ring PPV... Continued to rack up more victories and issued an open challenge at the end of September... In October, he supported former rival Ace in his quest to challenge for Eric Executioner's World Title... In November, he was named a member of Team Smackdown for a Survivor Series 6-man tag match... At the PPV, Angus, Guy Justice and a debuting Jester Price swept Team Raw thanks to a betrayal within their opponents' group... In December, a brutal feud with Joseph T. Lutte sparked when the "Fantastic Frenchman" questioned why Angus hadn't used the Money in the Bank contract yet... Joseph challenged Angus to a Ladder match at the next PPV with the coveted briefcase on the line... In a close match, Angus grabbed the briefcase to keep it in his possession

Mangamania: Kamen Rider Spirits
Welcome back to Mangamania and it's time for Mangamania's contribution to the 45th anniversary of Kamen Rider with my review of Kamen Rider Spirits, a manga series based off the Showa Era of Kamen Rider, starring every single Showa Era Kamen Rider before Kamen Rider Black. It's a manga that honors the Showa Era of Kamen Rider in a way that many Heisei Era Writers, like Shoji Yonemura of the Kamen Rider Taisen Films, failed to do. It's a series that is dark, yet hopeful. New, yet familiar. A series about Heroes that come to the aid of the people in their time of need. A legacy of Masked Heroes. They are the Kamen Riders. Here we talk about my second favorite Manga series of all time.
All New First Issues #16
Hello, my little fishies and welcome to All New First Issues, the weekly #1 comic review show. These are the new comics from June 15, 2016. To sum up, Civil War II tie-ins are pointless to Civil War 2, Vote Loki may be the stupidest thing I've read that isn't strictly a meme, Han Solo was talky when it didn't need to be, the Indie Scene is great as usual and then the slew of DC #1s made me realize that they're plowing through these relaunches fast in the best way so hallelujah! Also major update, this will be the last super big massive All New First Issues. Next week starts All Different First Issues where it's a Top 5 comics that got released.
All New First Issues #15
Hello once again to a 5 AM version of All New First Issues! This week we've get to see just how disappointed I can be without officially disliking anything. Civil War II continues with tie-ins that are either pointless or irrelevant to the story being conveyed in Civil War II. DC Rebirth continues with Wonder Woman, Aquaman and The Flash with them being eh alright but nothing to write home about. Wow, I really think I may have a very short list of Quickies this week cause most of these were nothing too good or too bad. But there are definitely some exceptions.
Anime Kenkai: Fan-Exploitation and Me
Good day class, today is going to be our lecture day and unfortunately I've chosen a bit of a heavy topic for us to start with. It's the meaning of "Fan Service" or more what it should be called "Fan Exploitation". I know, I know, this is something everyone has an opinion on and everyone wants to discuss what to do and what not to do, but please pay attention to what I have to say. It's one more opinion for you to hear and to think on and the faster we go over this, the sooner we can move on to something a little more light-hearted for us. So get comfortable and lets get this over with.

So sit back, relax, and let's dive into the comics released in the week of March 25th, 2016!
Tokyo Transmission : First Impressions – Myriad Colours Phantom World
Welcome back once again as we look into the world of Myriad Colours Phantom World. I heard good things about this fairly new anime, and with the season recently completing I thought it was a good time as any to see what the fuss is about. In this world of false perceptions and hidden phantoms, we examine exactly what's going on in the first episode as I decode this latest Tokyo Transmission. So let's open our eyes and see what we can

Rider TV Introduction
In 2011, I saw a video by Internet Reviewer Justin Carmical a.k.a. JewWario about a video game called Kamen Rider Climax Heroes OOO. It intrigued me since it was basically a Power Rangers/Sentai series about a single hero with a slight insect theme to its characters. Though of course it was so much more. From there I was interested in learning more about Kamen Rider and what it was all about. And I have no regrets about it. This article will explore the background of Kamen Rider and will give a feeling as to what Rider TV will be about with my new review series.

Newly released emails from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's now infamous treasure trove of State Department correspondence revealed that her aides attempted to fix her first congressional hearing on the 2012 Benghazi terror attack.
"We wired it that Menendez would provide an opportunity to address two topics we needed to debunk (her actions/whereabouts on 9/11, and these email from Chris Stevens about moving locations)" aide Philippe Reines emailed Chelsea Clinton on the very morning of the hearing, according to Fox News.
By Menendez, the email meant Democrat Sen. Robert Menendez, who was serving as acting chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee at the Jan. 23, 2013 hearing.

What remained in question was what Reines meant by "wired," though the senator's behavior at the hearing provided a clue.
Fox News explained that as the hearing began, Menendez asked questions pertaining to the exact topics that Clinton's aide had brought up in the email — and not shockingly, the secretary of state answered promptly, as if she had already prepared her answers beforehand.

This suggested that by "wired," Reines meant that he had sent Menendez some sort of correspondence containing direct orders as to what he was supposed to ask Clinton that morning. And judging by the senator's behavior, he complied with those orders like a spineless jellyfish.
"This email chain provides a rare behind the scenes look at which Benghazi-related issues the Clinton camp had concerns about … and what they had apparently plotted out beforehand with a Democrat committee member to deal with those concerns," said a statement from Citizens United, the group responsible for the lawsuit that led to the uncovering of these emails.

Manipulation, corruption and villainous plotting — it sounds like just another day in the life of Hillary Rodham Clinton, whose acts of unbridled malfeasance stand to grow by leaps and bounds if she one day becomes president.
Let's therefore hope she never does.

Pak to file cases against Kasab, others for planning Mumbai attacksFebruary 9th, 2009 - 12:29 pm ICT by ANI
Islamabad, Feb 9 (ANI): The Pakistani dossier on the Mumbai terror attacks is ready and the PPP-led Government will file cases against five Pakistanis, including the lone captured militant Ajmal Kasab, for planning the attacks.
The Interior Ministrys report into the Mumbai carnage also states that the attacks were not planned in Pakistan or India, but in a European country, a TV channel quotes sources, as saying.
The conspirators kept in touch by using the Internet; The Nation quotes sources, as saying.
They also said that cases would be filed against five Pakistanis, including Kasab, for planning the Mumbai attacks.
Action will be taken against them in the country according to Pakistani laws and access to Kasab will be sought to identify his Indian associates, the sources said.
The government has not formally stated so far whether it will seek consular access to Kasab though it has acknowledged that he is a Pakistani national.
The conspiracy was hatched outside Pakistan. But Kasab and his accomplices used Pakistan territory by using Internet lines of the country. But no Pakistani official was involved. There will be legal action against Kasab and others in Pakistan. Pakistan may also want access to Kasab for investigation.
There is no mention of Lashkar-e-Taiba in the report. The report talks only about the suspects, said the channel.
Meanwhile, the Defence Committee of the Cabinet (DCC) would meet here on Monday and review the investigation report prepared by the Pakistani authorities on the information provided by India on Mumbai attacks. (ANI)

Title: Mix-Up
Plot, or Lack Thereof: King Kai switches Goku's and Vegeta's bodies as a prank. Chaos ensues.
Reason for Banishment: Cliches up the wazoo, weak characterization, script style.
Narrator (always melodramatic): It is a beautiful day on planet Earth. And, like any other beautiful day, our heroes—Goku and Vegeta—are doing what they like to do best: fighting.
Goku and Vegeta are sparring in front of the Capsule Corp. Building while Gohan, Goten, and Trunks are watching.
Vegeta (panting): Very good, Kakarot, but not good enough.
Goku (also panting): But you said I was number one!
Vegeta: Not anymore!
(turns Super Saiyan Level 1 (SSJ))
Goku: Hey! That's not fair!
(also turns SSJ, and the fight continues)
Enter King Kai
Narrator (same): Little did they know that King Kai, who always loves a joke, was about to give them the surprise of their lives.
King Kai (mischievous): Let me spice things up a bit.
Vegeta (charging at Goku): YAAAHHH!
Goku (charging at Vegeta): YAAAHHH!
The two collide head on, fly backwards, and land with a crash; they have stars around their heads.
King Kai (as before): He, he, he.
Goku (moaning): Ohhhh.
(Gohan flies up to Goku)
Gohan: Daddy! Are you all right?
Goku (testy): Who the heck are you calling 'Daddy'?
(Goku now has Vegeta's personality and Vegeta has Goku's; but the actor for Goku still read Goku's lines, and the same for Vegeta)
Gohan (confused): You.
(Goku looks at Vegeta and screams)
Goku: AAAH!
Goten and Trunks (who have been standing in the same place for all of this time) run up
Goten and Trunks (in unison or overlapping): What happened?
Goku (looking at himself in disbelief): I'M HIM!!!
(points to Goku)
Vegeta (confused): What? (looks at Goku, then at himself)
Vegeta: AAAH!
Bulma comes out of the building
Bulma: What's all of the yelling about?
Goku and Vegeta point at one another
Goku and Vegeta (in unison or overlapping): He‒I‒We‒
Bulma (irritated): Spit it out!
Enter Piccolo
Piccolo: I may be able to clear things up a bit: it seems that you two have switched bodies.
All: WHAT?
Piccolo: I was watching your fight. After you collided, I felt Vegeta's energy coming out of Goku, and Goku's coming out of Vegeta.
Goten and Trunks (as before): COOL!
Goku (angry): This is NOT cool!
Narrator: Oh, no! This is very bad!
Goku (angrier): We already know that, you moron!
Narrator: Oh. Sorry.
Bulma (worried): Can they switch back?
Piccolo: I would ask the person responsible for this.
All: Who?
Piccolo: I'm not sure, but I know who has this kind of ability.
Goku (through clenched teeth): When I get my hands on that—
Goten (interrupting): Couldn't Dad and Vegeta just bonk heads again?
Piccolo: I suppose that it's worth a try.
Goku: I'll try ANYTHING!
Vegeta (shrugging): What the heck.
The two fly at each other‒BONK!
Trunks: Did it work?
Vegeta (still dizzy, rubbing his head): No.
Goku (very upset): No! This isn't happening! (starts levitating in the air)
Goku: I WANT MY BODY BACK!
Goku goes SSJ, then SSJ2, then SSJ3. He stares at his hands, which are glowing
Goku: What happened?
Gohan (in shock): You're Super Saiyan 3!
Goku (in awe): So THIS is what it feels like! POWER! RAW POWER! HAHAHAHAHA!
Everyone shields themselves from the incredible outburst of energy; after a while, though, it fades
Goku (sobering): It's not my power. It's Kakarot's.
Goku powers down. There is an awkward silence
Bulma: Well, I guess I'd better start looking for a way to turn you two back.
(goes into the house)
Piccolo: And I'd better start looking for the one who did this.
Goten and Trunks (whining): What about US? (Piccolo glares at Goten and Trunks)
Piccolo: You two? Start looking for the Dragon Balls; we just might have to WISH Goku and Vegeta back to normal.
Goten and Trunks (happy): Yes, sir!
Trunks (dashing into the house): Last one to the Dragon Radar is a rotten egg!
Goten (dashing after him): Hey! No fair! You got a head start!
Piccolo (to Goku and Vegeta): Stay out of trouble. (leaves)
Gohan : Um. I think Mom should know about this.
Gohan flies off; Goku and Vegeta are left staring at each other
Vegeta : Um. I think we should go too. (tries to teleport)
Goku (impatient): You're me, stupid! You CAN'T teleport!
Vegeta (sheepishly): Oh, yeah. (The two fly off.)
Switch to the Son house. Vegeta has one arm behind his head and a goofy grin; Goku is turned to the side with his arms crossed, scowling and mumbling. Gohan is explaining to an amazed Chi-Chi what happened.
Narrator: And so Gohan tells his mother exactly what happened.
Goku (mumbling): That's exactly what the stage directions said.
Gohan: ‒and then I came here to tell you.
Chi-Chi stares at the three for a while, then faints; Gohan runs up and catches her
Gohan: I don't think she's taking it too well.
Goku (mumbling): Humph. SHE'S not the one who is stuck in someone else's body.
Vegeta (starting to get angry): Vegeta.
Goku and Vegeta glare at each other; the tension in the air is rising.
Gohan (nervously): Uh. I think I'll go check on Bulma and see how she's doing. (Aside) I'm not about to myself killed.
Gohan leaves. Vegeta goes up to Chi-Chi and reaches out to touch her; he jumps back when she begins to wake up.
Chi-Chi: Oooh. (sees Vegeta and gives a start) Goku? Is that really you?
Vegeta (nodding): Yup.
Chi-Chi (bursting into tears): Tell me this is a bad dream! Please, tell me it's a bad dream! (sobs; Vegeta tries to comfort her)
Goku (annoyed): Stop crying, will you? (Chi-Chi manages to stop) Everyone else is just as upset, but they're actually doing something to help! (to Vegeta) Sheesh, what a crybaby; so she is where your brat Gohan got that annoying personality of his.
Vegeta (furious): Vegeta, can't you SHUT UP for one moment?
Goku: Why don't you make me? (more glaring; Chi-Chi is back to her old self)
Chi-Chi (hands on hips): Will you two stop? You have been fighting since he‒ (pointing first at Vegeta, then at Goku, etc.) Vegeta landed on this planet! (Tension lowers)
Vegeta (shameful): Sorry, Chi-Chi.
Scene switches to Bulma's house; Bulma is working on a contraption when Gohan enters
Narrator: Let's see how Bulma's doing.
Bulma (hurting herself): OWW!
Gohan: Hi, Bulma!
Bulma (surprised): What are YOU doing here?
Gohan: Dad and Vegeta are arguing again.
Bulma: AGAIN? (to herself) When will he EVER stop? (to Gohan) And you just left?
Gohan: I didn't want to get involved; besides, Mom will be able to handle them. (changing the subject) What are you working on?
Bulma: This device—theoretically—might be able to change them back.
Gohan: How does it work?
Bulma: Well—
(starts a long-winded and very technical explanation; Gohan settles down to listen)
Scene switches to Dende's place; Piccolo approaches Dende, who has been observing everything.
Narrator: Meanwhile, Piccolo is checking out his prime suspect.
Dende (amused): It seems that there has been an accident.
Piccolo (not amused): That was no accident; someone PURPOSELY switched Goku and Vegeta.
Dende: Who?
Piccolo: Don't play dumb with me! You know that only a few could do that and you're one of them!
Dende: It wasn't ME; I value my life more than that.
Piccolo (sarcastically): Of course.
Dende: What, don't you believe me?
Piccolo: Of course not.
Dende: Oh, come on! I'm not so crazy or stupid that I would cross the two strongest warriors in the universe, am I?
Piccolo: That's true, but you must have seen who did it.
Dende (shaking his head): I didn't see anyone, but I did hear this chuckle that sounded like King Kai.
Piccolo: Now that you mention it, I think I felt his energy flicker briefly just before Goku and Vegeta collided. Hmm.
(starts to leave)
Dende: Where are you going?
Piccolo: I have some visiting to do.
Scene switches to a jungle. Goten and Trunks each have a Dragon Ball and are searching for the next one.
Narrator: Well! It seems that the two boys have gotten to a great start!
Goten (tiring): Are we there yet?
Trunks (studying the Dragon Radar): Just a little longer.
Goten sits down and leans against a tree. Trunks stops, turns around and walks up to Goten.
Trunks: Come on, Goten. We have to hurry.
Goten (stubborn): No. I'm tired. I need to rest. (stomach growls) And I'm hungry.
Trunks is about to argue when his stomach also growls.
Trunks: Me, too.
Goten: Did you bring any food capsules?
Trunks (hits himself on the side of the head): I KNEW I forgot something!
Goten: Great. We're going to starve!
Trunks: No, we're not.
(flies up over the trees)
Goten (calling up): What are you doing?
Trunks (calling down): Looking for food!
Goten: Wait for me!
(follows Trunks)
Goten (looking around, disappointed): I can't see a thing!
Trunks: I do! Over there! (points to a clearing that is full of food; the two fly down to it)
Goten: Oooh! Food! (picks one up) Is it safe to eat?
Trunks (does the same): Who cares? I'm starved!
Goten and Trunks start devouring the food; after a while—
Goten: Phew! I'm stuffed!
Trunks: Me too! (yawns) I'm going to take a nap.
Trunks lands on the ground and lays down
Goten (yawning): Me too! (does the same)
Narrator: Hey! Wake up! You're supposed to be looking for the Dragon Balls!
Trunks yawning: Shut up and let us sleep! (falls asleep)
Switch to the Son house; everyone (except Piccolo, Bulma, Goten, and Trunks) are sitting at the table eating dinner
Narrator: That night—
Gohan (with his mouth full): So Bulma thinks that her invention might help undo this mess!
Chi-Chi (scolding): Gohan! Don't talk with your mouth full!
Gohan (as before): Sorry, Mom. (The eating continues)
Switch to Bulma's house; Bulma is still working hard
Bulma (wiping sweat): Phew! This was harder than I thought. (hurts herself again) Oww!
Switch to the Son house; dinner has ended; Goku gets up
Gohan: Where are you going?
Goku: Home.
Vegeta: Uh. Vegeta?
Goku ignores him
Switch to outside of Bulma's house. Goku knocks on the door; after a long time Bulma, who has dark rings under her eyes, comes out
Bulma (irritated): What do you want?
Goku: I'm coming in.
Bulma: No you're not. Not in the state that you're in.
Goku: But I need to sleep somewhere.
Bulma goes into the house. When she comes back out she throws a pillow and a blanket at Goku
Bulma: Here.
(goes into the house, slamming the door behind her; Goku stares at it in shock)
Narrator: You go, girl!
Switch to the Son house; Gohan and Goku are watching TV (Chi-Chi is not in the scene) when they hear a knock on the door
Gohan: I'll get it!
(opens the door, sees Goku, who is still holding stuff)
Gohan: What happened?
Goku (mumbling): Bulma threw me out of the house.
Gohan: WHAT?
(Vegeta overhears, also goes up to the door)
Goku: More accurately, she wouldn't even let me in.
Gohan: Maybe I can talk to her. (calls to Chi-Chi) Mom! I'm going to Bulma's!
Vegeta: Me too!
Chi-Chi's voice (offstage): Don't be too long!
Gohan and Vegeta: Okay!
Switch to the outside of Bulma's house; Gohan knocks on the door; it takes even longer for Bulma to open it
Bulma (even more irritated): Now what?
Gohan: Um, Bulma, don't you think you're overreacting a bit?
Bulma (angrily): ME overreact? What about those two idiots over there? If they hadn't been fighting, this whole thing would have never happened!
Gohan: But Dad and Vegeta DO need a place to sleep.
Bulma goes into the house; when she reappears, she throws out another blanket and pillow
Bulma: They can sleep in the gravity room.
Bulma goes back into the house and slams the door again; Gohan gives Vegeta the pillow and the blanket, and the three stand there for a while
Goku (as if talking to Bulma): Fine! Be that way!
Goku stomps towards the gravity room
Vegeta (chasing after him): Vegeta!
Gohan stands and stares for a while longer, then tries the door; it isn't locked. He goes in and finds Bulma on the floor with her head in her hands
Gohan: Bulma?
Bulma: What if we can't turn them back? What if they have to stay that way forever?
(starts to cry)
Gohan: Don't worry, Bulma. We'll get them back—somehow.
Switch to the gravity room. Goku keeps bumping his head as he moves around the room while Vegeta is trying not to laugh
Narrator: It appears that Vegeta is not used to his new height.
Goku: OW! Why do you have to be so damned tall, Kakarot?
Vegeta is no longer able to contain himself and bursts out laughing
Goku (through clenched teeth): Is it really THAT funny?
Vegeta (stops laughing): Lighten up, Vegeta. We may have to be like this for quite a while.
Goku: Hmmph.
Vegeta: You're not mad at Bulma, are you?
Goku (sarcastically): Why should I be? She only threw me out of my own house, that's all.
Vegeta: Well, it's not really YOUR house.
Goku: Okay, so it's HER house, but I'm her husband!
Vegeta: Not exactly.
Goku: Will you STOP reminding me that I'm in your body?
Vegeta: Get used to it, Vegeta! That's the way things are right now!
(they glare at each other for a while)
Goku: I'm too tired to argue with you. I'm going to bed.
Vegeta: Me too.
(lights go off)
Switch to jungle; Goten and Trunks, still asleep, are tied to posts
Narrator: Ahem. (takes a deep breath) WAKE UP!
Goten (groggy): Huh? What's going on?
Trunks (wide awake): THEY TOOK OUR DRAGON BALLS!
Goten (same): WHAT? WHO? WHERE?
Trunks (angry): How am I supposed to know?
Goten sees the stuff, which are lying in the grass a few feet away
Goten: Look! Over there! (the two break free and runs up to them)
Trunks (checking the Radar): Phew. It still works.
Goten: Where's the next Dragon Ball, then?
Trunks (as before): It's close. (looks at it again) And it's coming closer.
Goten: WHAT? Dragon Balls can't move!
(the ground starts to shake)
Trunks: What the‒?
(a giant dinosaur comes stomping out of the trees)
Goten and Trunks: AAAH!
They each grab a Dragon Ball and start running; after a few steps, though, Trunks stops
Goten: Trunks! What are you doing?
Trunks: Take a look at the Dragon Radar!
Goten runs back to Trunks, looks at the Radar
Goten: I don't see anything wrong with it.
Trunks (pointing to radar): Look. The signal is coming from over there.
(points to dinosaur)
Goten: So?
(Then it makes sense to both of them)
Goten and Trunks (looking at one another): THE DRAGON BALL IS INSIDE!
Switch to the Son house. Chi-Chi is staring at Gohan in shock
Chi-Chi: Bulma did WHAT?
Gohan: She didn't let either one of them into her house; then, she threw a blanket and a pillow at me and told them to sleep in the gravity room.
Chi-Chi: Really? (Gohan nods) Ha! Good for you, Bulma! Good for you!
Gohan (expecting Chi-Chi to be upset): Huh?
Chi-Chi: Serves those two right! Ha! That'll teach them a thing or two!
Gohan: But, Ma, Dad and Vegeta are Saiyans. Do you think they'll ever learn?
Chi-Chi (after thinking about this for a while): Probably not.
Switch to the jungle; Goten and Trunks are facing off with the dinosaur
Goten (whispering): So, how are we going to get the Dragon Ball?
Trunks (same): I guess we'll just have to let him eat us.
Goten (same): Then how are we going to get out?
Trunks (same): I'll think of something?
The two fly into the dinosaur's mouth; surprised, the dinosaur swallows, then licks his chops. Inside the dinosaur, it's pitch dark
Goten: It's dark in here. I can't see a thing!
Trunks (some distance away): I think I've found it!
Goten dashes in the direction of the voice and bumps into Trunks
Trunks: Ow!
Goten: Sorry, Trunks. Well, is it a Dragon Ball?
Trunks: I think so, but there's only one way to find out.
silence; Goten guesses what Trunks wants to do
Goten: Trunks, you're kidding, right?
Trunks: What, you'd rather wait for this dinosaur to open his mouth and try to sneak out? This might be a rock, for all we know!
Goten: Okay, okay.
Narrator: This is probably Trunks' worst idea, ever, but at least they'll get the Dragon Ball.
Trunks: KA‒ME‒HA‒ME‒HAAA!
Goten (Overlapping): KA‒ME‒KA‒ME‒HAAA!
the dinosaur was walking along when he stops; his eyes widen and there is a bright light and an explosion; when the smoke clears, Goten and Trunks are standing over a well-cooked dinosaur. Goten's fireball is still swirling around; then it hits Goten in the back of the head.
Goten: Ow.
Trunks (happy): It IS a Dragon Ball!
Goten (complaining): How are we going to carry all of this stuff? I don't suppose you brought a backpack, either.
Trunks (angrily): I'm not responsible for EVERYTHING!
the two glare at each other; then both of their stomachs growl
Goten: I'm hungry again.
Trunks: Me too.
the two look at the dinosaur, then at each other, then shrug
Goten and Trunks: Oh, well.
(start eating the dinosaur)
The next day, in front of the Capsule Corp. Building, Bulma is setting up a strange device; Gohan is helping her. Behind them, Goku and Vegeta are coming out of the gravity room
Narrator: Early the next morning‒
Goku (grumpy): What a night. I got no sleep whatsoever.
Vegeta (teasing): Couldn't get used to sleeping on the floor, Vegeta?
Goku (as before): No; because YOU snored loudly enough to wake the dead!
Vegeta (sheepish): I did?
Bulma spots the two
Bulma: Don't just stand there, you two! Come over here and help me!
the two obey
Goku (pointing to device): What in the world is that?
Bulma (proudly): It's my invention.
Goku: And it's supposed to change us back?
Bulma: I'm not sure.
Goku: And you're going to try that on us? No thanks.
Bulma (mad): If you weren't in Goku's body, I would slap you!
Goku: What's the difference? It doesn't hurt either way.
Bulma (very mad): Oooh!
(the two glare at one another)
Vegeta: Vegeta, you were the one who said you would try ANYTHING.
Goku and Bulma: STAY OUT OF THIS!
(Vegeta jumps back; more glaring)
Switch to jungle; Goten and Trunks are sleeping in the clearing. They wake up to see strange looking people
Goten and Trunks: YAAH!
everybody jumps back, and Goten and Trunks go into fighting stances. After a while, though, the people slowly approach and bow to them
Goten and Trunks: Huh?
one person brings some food says something strange (the caption reads "hail the great destroyers of the Forest Beast!"). After Goten and Trunks eat it, another person brings something in a pouch, kneels to Goten and Trunks and gives them the pouch, also saying something strange ("a small token of appreciation from your humble servant"). Goten opens it, and takes out the Dragon Ball that's inside
Goten and Trunks: Cool!
Switch back to Capsule Corp. Bulma has managed to convince the men to try her invention; Goku and Vegeta are sitting on the ground, each with a strange device strapped to their heads
Goku: I still don't think this is a good idea.
Narrator: Neither do I.
Bulma: SHUT UP!
she punches some buttons and flips a switch. The machine whirs and glows, the sound increasing; sparks start flying out of the machine, and smoke starts rising. Then, there is a big explosion. When the smoke clears, the machine is broken and Vegeta and Goku are very scorched
Gohan: Did it work?
Goku (sarcastic): What do you think?
Bulma is very angry (and on the verge of tears)
Bulma: You have been insulting me since the day we first met. I don't know WHAT got into me, but I believed that I could love a jerk like you. I stayed up ALL NIGHT working on that device. Okay, so it didn't work. But I did it for YOU, Vegeta! I cared about you and worried about you, and this is the thanks I get?
Goku: Get used to it, woman. Consider yourself lucky that—
Bulma (mimicking Goku): 'That the Prince of the Saiyans has decided to lower himself on a weak human female'. I don't know how many times I have heard that, and I am sick of it! Your planet is destroyed, Vegeta! There's NOTHING left for you to rule over!
Goku (very angry): Rrrrr.
Bulma: Go ahead, kill me! Show the world who you really are: a bully!
Bulma and Goku glare at one another; Gohan and Vegeta are sweating (both want to do something but not sure what)
Goku: You're right. (Bulma surprised) THIS time.
Bulma (throwing up her hands): I give up; I just can't argue with you.
Goku (sardonic smile): I'll take that as a compliment.
Gohan and Vegeta: Phew!
(short pause)
Gohan: Hey! I just thought of something!
Others: What?
Gohan: Maybe if Dad and Vegeta fused, they would be back to normal when it wears off!
Vegeta: That IS an interesting idea. Vegeta?
Goku (aside): If doing that silly dance will get me out of this body. (to Vegeta) Let's go, Kakarot.
Vegeta and Goku: FU‒SION!
they go through the motions, and Gogita emerges
Gogita (spoken by both actors): Now what?
Gohan: We wait to see if it works.
Gogita (mumbling): I hate waiting.
(sits on the ground to wait)
Switch to King Kai's planet. King Kai is watching everything with glee when Piccolo walks up to him
Narrator: King Kai is thoroughly enjoying himself, but he doesn't realize how much trouble he's in.
King Kai: Hee, hee, hee! Those idiots!
Piccolo (grabbing King Kai by the shoulder, sarcastic): Hello there, King Kai!
King Kai jumps in surprise, but is relieved to see Piccolo
King Kai: Oh, hi, Piccolo.
Piccolo (as before): That wasn't a very nice trick that you played on Goku and Vegeta, King Kai.
King Kai (gulps): Y-you know it was me?
Piccolo (as before): Yes, I do.
King Kai (nervous): You w-won't tell them, will you?
Piccolo (as before): Of course not.
King Kai (relieved): Thanks!
Piccolo (as before): YOU will have to explain everything to them by yourself!
King Kai (scared): Uh-oh.
Switch to Goten and Trunks. They are seen picking up the last Dragon Ball
Goten (happy): There. That's the last one!
(puts it into the pouch)
Trunks: I hope my Dad and your Dad are okay. They were really mad about switching bodies.
Goten: What are we waiting for, then? Let's go!
Trunks: Uh huh! (the two fly off)
Switch to Bulma, Gohan, and Gogita. Gogita is still waiting
Gogita (impatient): Is it time YET?
Bulma (looking at watch): Just a few more seconds.
A few more seconds later, Gogita begins to glow; when the glow fades, Goku and Vegeta are standing, looking at themselves. Bulma is about to ask whether or not the idea worked, but Goku stops her
Goku: Don't even ask. (to Gohan) You thought of that to humiliate me, didn't you?
Gohan: Huh?
Goku: Oh, come on. Don't pretend you don't know. You know I HATE doing that‒that dance!
Gohan: Vegeta.
Goku: Don't 'Vegeta' ME!
Gohan: But, but!
Goku: Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot that you aren't smart enough to think of something like that!
Vegeta is VERY, VERY angry
Narrator: Uh, oh. Vegeta has just pushed Goku's last button.
Vegeta (furious): THAT DOES IT!!! (starts glowing) I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR STINKING PRIDE!
(turns SSJ)
Goku: Is that a challenge?
Vegeta: YOU BET IT IS!
Goku: Very noble of you, Kakarot. But you forget one thing.
(starts glowing)
Vegeta: What?
Goku: Now that I'm in your body, I'm more powerful than you. (also becomes SSJ) Don't worry, though; I won't hurt you too much. I'll need my body in good shape.
Vegeta: You're more powerful than me? Don't be so sure.
Vegeta becomes SSJ2, Goku matches his power level
Goku: See? (to himself) I suppose there IS some good in being in this body.
Vegeta (extreme anger): RAAAAAAAAAA!
It takes a while, but Vegeta becomes SSJ3; everyone is shocked
Narrator: WHAT, THE?
Vegeta: Well, Vegeta, what do you have to say now?
Goku: No, this isn't fair! How come I've never been able to do that? (beat; shrugs) It doesn't matter; now we are more evenly matched!
they both go into a battle stance
Bulma: Oh, no! We've got to stop them before they kill each other!
Gohan: WE? Not me!
Goten's and Trunks's voices (offstage): HEY, EVERYBODY! WE'VE GOT THE DRAGON BALLS! (Vegeta and Goku power down)
Goku and Vegeta: Really?
Gohan and Bulma: Phew.
Goten and Trunks lands from the sky. Goten pulls out a Dragon Ball.
Goten (waving the Dragon Ball): See?
There is general relief; Goku is about to talk when Gohan and Bulma speak up first.
Gohan and Bulma: Quick! Summon Shen Long!
Goku: Huh? Oh, yes! Of course!
Goten and Trunks do so, and Shen Long appears (after lots of special effects)
Shen Long (booming voice): WHAT IS YOUR WISH?
Goten: I wish‒
Trunks (pushing Goten aside): No, I'M wishing!
Goten: AM NOT!
Trunks: AM TOO!
(Goten and Trunks start fighting)
Goku: At this rate, we'll NEVER return to normal!
(walks up to Shen Long)
Goku: I wish that I could be ME again!
Shen Long (as before): I CANNOT DO SO.
Goku (angry): What do you mean, 'you can't do it'?
Vegeta (to Goku): Calm down, Vegeta. (to Shen Long) Then I wish that the one responsible for this would appear.
Shen Long (as before): It is done.
King Kai and Piccolo (Piccolo still grabbing King Kai by the shoulder) appear
Vegeta (in shock): King Kai? YOU were the one who‒
King Kai (sheepish): He, he, he. Yep.
Vegeta: Why?
King Kai (as before): Well, I thought it made a pretty good joke.
Goku comes up and grabs King Kai by the collar with one hand
King Kai (choking): Urk!
Goku: I am NOT amused!
King Kai (nervous): Y-you're not going to kill me, are you?
Goku (cruel smile): No. I won't kill you.
King Kai (relaxing): Good, because—
Goku pulls King Kai closer with his other hand; they are eye to eye. King Kai gulps; he is sweating buckets now
Goku (as before): I'll just HURT you so bad that you'll WISH you were dead!
King Kai (panicking): I'll change you back! I'll change you back!
Goku drops him onto the ground
King Kai: You two just stand next to each other.
They do so, and King Kai starts mumbling strange words.
Goku and Vegeta (grabbing their heads): AAAARGH!
Then, both stop and straighten up
Vegeta (happy): I'm myself again!
Goku (same): Me too!
there is a general celebration
King Kai (aside): Well, since everyone is so happy, I'll just be on my way.
(sneaks away)
Goku: Phew! I'm glad THAT's over with!
Vegeta: Yes, because now we can finish our fight!
Bulma (incredulous): WHAT? After going through all of that you still want to fight?
Goku: Of course! After all, he IS Vegeta!
(the two go into an attacking stance)
ALL(except Goku and Vegeta) (moaning): Here we go again!
Shen Long: Don't you have another wish?
Optional curtain call (to "We Were Angels"):
Goku and Vegeta stop fighting, Goku salutes while Vegeta crosses his arms (and tapping his), then resume fighting.
Goten and Trunks race each other to the center of the stage and make faces.
Bulma and Chi-Chi attempt to stop the men from fighting before giving up and bowing to the audience.
Gohan does his Great Saiyaman pose before getting dragged off the stage by an embarrassed Chi-Chi.
Dende and Piccolo enter; Dende waves, and Piccolo nods.
King Kai sneaks up to the center of the stage, then goes through great elaborate motions to bow; Goku and Vegeta notice, and drag him into their fight.
The Narrator (if there is one) comes in and bows.
All characters join hands and bows.

Bikini Body Workout: Effective Exercises for Toned Legs
We finally have some warm weather to celebrate! Summer is well and truly here and all forecasts say that it is going to be a hot one. That means we can no longer hide our legs constantly underneath jeans and tailored trousers -- it's time to get a little bit of sun on our skin and let all of our pretty summer dresses and cute shorts out of the wardrobe.
If you aren't feeling so body confident when it comes to your legs or just want to tone them up a bit so you can walk a little bit taller, there are some simple exercises you can do to get those legs in shape. We know that you don't want to spend hours at the gym working out, so we have found some quick yet effective exercises that will boost that body confidence.
The Chair Squat
A great exercise for beginners and for those that don't have an endless supply of exercise equipment or an expensive gym membership. All you need is a chair and your legs. This exercise not only helps to tone the thigh and calf muscles, it also helps to lift the butt – so go on and get the chair out for five minutes.
- Stand with your back to the chair and place your feet shoulder width apart.
- Keeping your weight on your heels, pull in your abs and lower your bum slowly towards the seat of the chair.
- Stop just before your bum touches the seat and whilst keeping the abs pulled in, return slowly to a standing position.
- Repeat to 10 repetitions, and complete 3 sets of ten.
180 Degree Squat Jump
The squat jump will give you toned legs and you will have fun doing it. There is something quite freeing about jumping around your living room, bedroom or garden like a happy little frog. And like the chair squat, this exercise will tone all parts of the leg, as well as the butt. The squat really is a miracle exercise.
- Get into a squat position, with the legs hip width apart.
- Jump up and spin 180 degrees whilst in the air, landing in a squat in the opposite direction.
- Keep it up for 30 seconds, and complete for 5 sets.
The Leg Lift
You don't need expensive weights or sophisticated gym equipment to get a good leg workout. You can use the weight of your own legs to help tone them up at home, using a chair for support – a super simple, leg lift exercise.
- Stand facing your chair and place the heel of one leg on the seat with your foot flexed.
- Lift the foot off the chair and lift and straighten it out without locking the knee on your standing leg. You will feel the muscles of your lifted leg tighten.
- With the leg still lifted from the chair, bend the knee of your standing leg slightly and then straighten.
- Place your lifted leg back onto the chair.
- Repeat for 10 repetitions on each leg, and complete 3 sets.
Complete one or two of these exercises everyday and you will notice your legs and bum really firm up.
Remember ladies, be confident about who you are – walk tall with your head held high, and enjoy the confidence and boost these exercises can give you.

In the event that you want to change the style or outlook of your kitchen, why not consulting the professional country kitchen Fort Wayne to help you? You probably think that you have everything figured out for your supposed to be country kitchen style, but you will find out that managing kitchen decor and layout may not be as easy as you have thought.
Country Kitchen Fort Wayne, the Natural Appeal
Why should you consult country kitchen Fort Wayne service, anyway? First of all, you will need a professional service with long years of experience. Unless you are a professional interior decor, you will need assistance and guidance in doing the changes. Second, they are the experts in this matter, dealing with various clients and different remodeling needs. When it comes to country style kitchen, they know what's best for your needs.
Whether you want to focus on decorative elements and accents or you want to come with the grandeur theme, you can always manage the layout and incorporate the important elements. For instance, pairing up the white wooden cabinets with blue and white floors and floral blue wallpaper can immediately transform your kitchen to the traditional country style. You can even add up intricate wooden elements, checkered backsplash, or ruffles curtains to have homey French country atmosphere.
Incorporating modern accents is doable in this country kitchen Fort Wayne work, but don't overdo it. For instance, you can pair up the wooden cabinets with white or light gray countertops with modern lighting fixtures. But keep the modern elements limited to the light fixtures only, focusing on the surrounding kitchen with the green and light gray backsplash, the wooden floor, and the wooden kitchen island. You can have a strong country atmosphere with a slight touch of modernity from the lighting fixture but it won't empower the overall design of the room.
The greatest thing about the country kitchen style is the versatility. You are free to include any elements into the decor; not mainly focusing on the bigger items like the cabinets, cupboards, or stove. You can add wall hangings from wooden planks or boards to strengthen the natural feel. Adding one or two potted plants on the window sill won't hurt either. Refresh the room with floral curtains or table cloth with fresh colors of white, green, blue, and yellow. Lighter colors are great for French country style, while warmer tones are perfect for Italian atmosphere. Consult the professional country kitchen Fort Wayne if you want to have the final satisfying look.

By: Aubrey Laudano, Emma Martone, and Kyle Sullivan The Hebrews The Religion and Ethical Beliefs of the Hebrews The Laws and Government of the Hebrews To begin, the Hebrews were run by three kings. The first was Saul, then David, and finally Solomon.
Saul secured his land from preventing hostile invasions, notably the by the Palestines.
He had two full time lieutenants under his commandment. One being his son, Johnathon, and the other being his cousin, Abner.
It is believed that Saul had a standing army whose main purpose was to signal his kingship.
David reign is remembered as "authentic". His mistakes weren't sugar coated. It is known that he had an affair with, Bathsheba, the wife of a subordinate. He was also known for making the Hebrews wealthier, and increasing the integrated political force.
He was known as a king with a totally human personality.
Solomon is known as the "builder" of the three kings for his excavations of northern Jerusalem. During his reign he extended the city's original border/limits.
Of the three kings David and Solomon were more ambitious.
The successors of the three kings brought monumental palaces, temples, foreign commerce, and the promotion of writing skills to the civilization.
They became more materialistic with the development of a larger difference between the rich and poor.
All the changes brought conflict and a departure in culture.
Over the next century the Hebrews endured many conflicts such as royal succession that made a theme of the Hebrews as a people. The Inventions and Accomplishments of the Hebrews The Ancient Hebrews' major addition to the world was their groundbreaking religion. The Fall of the Hebrews The religion of Monotheism did not die with the disbursement of the Hebrew empire.It still exist today.
Unlike other empires the Hebrews never had a distinct time when they fell.
In Egypt,in 1580 B.C.E when a new Pharaoh came into power the Hebrews were forced into slavery and were held captive. The Pharaoh held them in captivity because he felt as though his power was being threatened by them.
In 720 B.C.E Sumeria was conquered by the Assyrians and the fate of the Jews in Sumeria is still unknown to this day. They are known as, The Ten Lost Tribes of Israel (the Hebrews are also known as Israelites).
In 598 B.C.E King Nebachadnezzar of Babylonia invaded Judah. He sent most of the population to Babylonia for exile.
In 586 B.C.E Jerusalem fell under siege and was demolished.
In exile the Hebrews were able to participate in the economic and social life of their new homeland. They were even able to maintain a normal Jewish life and continue their religious practices.
In 538 B.C.E the Persians captured Babylon. Their king Cyrus allowed all the conquered people to return to their true homelands. Over 50,000 Jews decided to return to Judah, but many stayed in Babylon due to the new lives they had built.
In 516 B.C.E the second temple was built and centuries of peace followed. They were ruled by the Egyptians until 198 B.C.E when the Syrians take control. The Hebrew's Environment and Resources The Hebrews began as nomads in the second Millennium B.C. and their wanderings over a span of more than 1,000 years took them through most of the ancient Near East.
Abraham led the Hebrews from their hometown, Ur, as nomads. They migrated westward over the fertile crescent to settle in Canaan.
Abraham's descendants traveled south to Egypt, where they were held captive until they escaped around 1225 B.C. under the leadership of Moses.
Moses lead them back to Canaan.

He traveled through Canaan, into Egypt, and then back into Canaan, setting up various altars throughout the region.
He had a brief, non-violent conflict with the native Canaanites, but eventually settled near Hebron.
During his travels, Abraham's family was always growing... Resources:
Canaanite pastures had fertile soil that produced fruit, bread, wine, and oil.
They also had goats that provided cheese and milk and sheep that yielded wool.
Papyrus or bulrush grew in abundance along the banks of the lower Nile. Its stems were used to make beds, baskets, sandals, mats, rope, boats and for a writing material like paper.
Acacias is a tree with yellow blossoms that grew in the Sinai desert and near the Dead Sea. The wood was prized by cabinet makers it is supposedly what the Ark of the Covenant is made of.

The Pentateuch period formed the basis of the Talmud.
God was consequently the highest power source of law.
The Talmud is a vast collection of Jewish laws and traditions that was was based on the bible.
The Hebrews were governed by their religion, monotheism, considering the fact that the Talmud was based on the bible.
The Talmud was also based on the Torah.
The Torah which is translated to mean "the law" is made up of five books of the Testament. The Torah was given to Moses by the gods themselves on the top of Mount Sinai. It covers Jewish history from the Genesis(the creation of the world) through Exodus(the escape from Egypt.)
The Talmud, like the Torah, had no distinction between religion and secular law.
In criminal law death penalties were rare and almost impossible to be sentenced with. Any punishments inflicted were very mild. http://www.google.com/imgres?q=the+talmud&um=1&hl=en&tbo=d&biw=1441&bih=677&tbm=isch&tbnid=_Umo4HWbdMFV8M:&imgrefurl=http://www.islamweb.net/emainpage/index.php%3Fpage%3Darticles%26id%3D164809&docid=SIQ2ahV7mqfwMM&imgurl=http://www.islamweb.net/articlespictures/E_1775/164809.jpg&w=250&h=200&ei=OmycUMy0DNG90QH-m4CoCg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=386&vpy=272&dur=643&hovh=160&hovw=200&tx=71&ty=93&sig=109164413938614115236&page=1&tbnh=153&tbnw=177&start=0&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:12,s:0,i:160 The Fall of the Hebrews continued... The Syrian ruler Antiochus IV wanted to stop Jewish practices. To prevent this from happening Jewish commander Judah Maccabee overcame the Syrian army and won many battles. After his victory Judah reentered the Temple, cleansed it of its desecrations, and rededicated it.
For the next 700 years the Roman empire ruled the area. They were known as the Palestines.
From 37 to 4 B.C.E King Herod ruled over Judah with the Roman senate.
In 70 C.E the Hebrews/Jews revolted from the Romans.
For 3 years the Romans tried to regain power but they didn't succeed.
In conclusion there was no distinct fall of the Hebrews. They transitioned from being an empire to a people who had created and continued to practice the religion of monotheism. http://www.google.com/imgres?q=the+second+hebrew+temple&um=1&hl=en&tbo=d&biw=1441&bih=677&tbm=isch&tbnid=ceA32OahkHEx6M:&imgrefurl=http://www.basicjudaism.org/temple.html&docid=PKz6ncezS4FLAM&imgurl=http://www.basicjudaism.org/judaism-images/second-temple-plan-2.jpg&w=350&h=296&ei=anicUP7-BOe90AGa3YDABg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=2&vpy=357&dur=42&hovh=206&hovw=244&tx=72&ty=195&sig=109164413938614115236&page=1&tbnh=140&tbnw=166&start=0&ndsp=27&ved=1t:429,r:14,s:0,i:113 The Hebrews, who are also known as the Israelites were Monotheists. They believed in only one all-powerful God.
Their religion formed a base for other modern day religions such as Christianity.
They believed in a God who created all living things in seven days.
the story of Adam and Eve symbolizes the basic ideas for the Hebrews religion.
Prophet= Someone who receives direct communication with God and passes his word on to other people.
Their God would again and again show his willingness to make sacred agreements with human-kind.
This willingness is what distinguished the Hebrews Deity from all others- most ancient peoples worshiped gods who changed their minds on a whim, helping or hurting people depending on what suited their needs at the time.
The God of the Hebrews was more likely to judge people fairly.
They believed that if they followed the 10 commandments they would go to heaven.
The Sabbath day(7th day of the week) was holy and they could not do any work on Sunday
Priests= Someone who interpreted religious law, settled disputes, blessed the Israelites and cursed lawbreakers. Hebrews Religion Even though the Bible clearly states that the Israelites were to only worship one God, it also tells stories of them worshiping Gods such as Baal, Astarte, Asherah and others.
When King Solomon built the temple it was the most important center of worship in the land.
But when Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon conquered Judah he destroyed the temple and exiled most of the Hebrews.
Without the temple, they could not sacrifice animals so they had to develop new rituals that focused on prayer, the Sabbath and holy texts.
The name of God was translated to Jehovah.
Yahweh= God The only religions in the ancient world were polytheistic,as they worshiped many gods (sometimes many thousands of deities)
Conversely, the Hebrew's religion was monotheistic, believing in one, almighty God, who was referred to as Yahweh.
Religion may not seem like an addition to the world, but the unprecedented Jewish faith led to many religions, such as Christianity. Abraham Canaan is a narrow coastal strip between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean shore. It is only 70 mi. across at its widest point, and is a patchwork of rocky hills, grassy slopes, fertile plains and arid steppes. The Jordan river runs length-wise down the land.
It had a varying climate from extreme heat in the summer to a damp chill in the winter.
Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Israel's land today was called Canaan in Biblical times.
From east to west, it stretched 30-70 miles inland. From north to south, it stretched 250 miles.
The Arabian and Syrian deserts separate Canaan from Mesopotamia.
Canaan was a trading route, a buffer zone, a battlefield, a campsite, and a market.
Canaan suffered from unpredictable droughts, locusts, and earthquakes.
Canaanite pastures were suitable for grazing sheep and goats.

Les Serments d'Épictète 02 by Max Boufathal
Les Serments d'Épictète are based on a metal structure made of galvanized iron wire inspired by natural forms such as plants, birds and invertebrate shells. Once completed, the structure is reinforced with rattan, bamboo or metal cut and shaped to the size of each interval, thus creating a notion of regularity and mathematical progression inspired by the golden number. These masks evoke the protections of fencing or kendo and suggest an ambition of warrior parade. What is usually known as traditional African masks are here revisited and constituted from simple and appropriate elements. This collection constitutes the raw material, the poverty of the artist, shaping in its own way the forms of the material world to decorate its gigantic final installation which can take the the shape of an army or a museum.
Max searched for a while and tried to find different ways of putting up together these structures, one night the solution came to him in a dream and gave me a solution.

SCARSDALE, N.Y. - The influential Scarsdale Forum has expressed support for the public library's proposed multi-million dollar renovation and expansion.
On Thursday, the Scarsdale Forum released a report supporting the renovation that would provide the village with a library that represents "an outstanding example of 21st century healthful built environment and energy efficient standards."
Late last year, officials with the Scarsdale Public Library unveiled grand plans for a complete renovation and expansion of the space, which would make it one of the village's most vibrant, modern destinations.
"The issues raised by the village board and the community should be addressed in order to ensure that the library renovation project prioritizes design choices while reducing projected expenditures, among other recommendations," Madelaine Eppenstein, the chair of the Forum's municipal services committee said in a statement.
The idea to renovate the library sparked in 2012, when a survey was conducted to gauge community needs and interests, and according to organizers of the renovation, one message was clear: "Scarsdale values excellence in education and lifelong learning."
Following that survey, a plan began to take shape, which was fully unveiled to the public last month. With artists' models and renderings of the space available, officials are getting to the nitty-gritty details of the plan.
In total, the expansive project is estimated to cost more than $18 million, with additional funding needed to set up a temporary library at Supply Field while work is ongoing. The Library Campaign for Excellence Committee – the group spearheading the radical renovation plan – is seeking to raise approximately $8 million in private funds, with the balance coming from the village.
With approximately $12 million in funding required from the village, the Board has now asked staff members to evaluate the tax impact in both the short and long-term if the money needs to be borrowed, though officials have stressed that no decision is imminent.
The renovation would include a "dramatic increase of public space," community meeting rooms, places to study in small groups, and a quiet reading area.
Additionally, a café and lobby with seating would be installed, complete with a technology suite and business center. There will be a gallery overlooking the pond, expanded children's wing and an outdoor reading deck, making the library a place suitable for every member of the village.
In addition to making the library a more desirable destination for village residents, there will also be improvements made to the infrastructure of the building.
Aside from the new amenities, if the plan is undertaken, there will be a slate roof replacement, an elevator for multi-level access and wheelchair and family-friendly restrooms. There will also be a powerful generator installed, which will help the entire community in the event of another catastrophic storm.

Here is a set of patriotic inchies that i whipped up from scraps on my desk. the stripes are red and white paper strips cut and pieced together, and the star is a large gold brad. These were fun to make!
While I was working, I noticed an image of cowboy boots left over from a project I did yesterday, so I made an ATC to go with.
Sentimental Sundays - anything but a card
Fairy Knoll - Memorial Day
Just Add Ink - fussy cutting
Little Miss Muffet - metal embellishments
Stamp Insanity - red white and blue
GingerSnap Creations - cowboys
Happy Memorial Day! Go decorate a grave!

About Us
Anastasi means "Rebirth"
Anastasi started in 1994 with publishing books when our lives had come to a dead end and we had to start from scratch. We looked for a name all over the place and in the end searched the Oxford Book of Christian Names and settled on Anastasi as, according to their definition it means "rebirth or new start" which seemed very appropriate at the time. It has also proved to be apt for many of the projects we have undertaken within Anastasi.

Two Brixton Winners in Time Out's Food & Drinks 2012 Awards
While the prestigious 'Best New Restaurant' title went to The Delaunay, foodies South of the river had cause to celebrate, especially those living in the Brixton and Streatham area.
From Time Out's Eating & Drinking 2012 Awards, two winners this year hailed from Brixton. Boqueria Tapas won the Best New Cheap Eat award from Time Out, and the Crown & Anchor pub won the Best New Beer Bar award.
For years Brixton was the deadbeat of the foodie world in London, with only chicken shops punctuated with the occassional kebab joint. But nowadays, with the thriving Brixton Market, there's no shortage of good food and drink places in SW2.
I'm hoping that this trend continues down Brixton Hill into the Streatham proper area. Already, we have the excellent Manor Arms and Perfect Blend – and I'm sure more great restaurants and bars will soon be opening along the Streatham High Road after the sprucing up by Lambeth Council.
Other restaurants who won an award in the Time Out Eating & Drinking Awards this year include:
- Best New Cheap Eats – Boqueria Tapas, Brixton, SW2
- Best New Design – Mari Vanna, Knightsbridge, SW1X
- Best New Local Restaurant – Abbeville Kitchen, Clapham, SW4
- Best New No Bookings Restaurant – 10 Greek Street, Soho, W1D
- Best New Meat Restaurant – Tramshed, Shoreditch, EC2A
- Best New Latin American Restaurant – Lima London, Fitzrovia, W1T
- Best New Beer Bar – Crown & Anchor, Brixton, SW9
