#12 Mr. Snuggy

"Mom, since I'm older than Gohan now does that mean I can stay up later?" Goten asked as Goku set Gohan into the car seat.

"Well, I don't know," Chichi said glancing to the back seat where Goten had a hopeful look on his face, "what do you think, Goku?"

"Think about what?' Goku asked as he got into the drivers seat.

"Goten wants to stay up later since he's older than Gohan."

"I don't see any problem with that, Gohan got to stay up after Goten went to bed its only fair."

"Okay, it's settled then. Goten you can stay up later if you want to." Chichi called to the back seat but got no answer. She glanced back and saw Goten fast asleep with Gohan playfully poking at his arms.

"Shh! No Gohan, here play with this instead." Chichi said, pulling out a blue stuffed toy monkey and handing it to him.

Gohan smiled happily and hugged the monkey, treating it like a long lost friend, and earning a chuckle from his mother who watched how he reacted.

"He's so cute." she murmured, turning back into her seat. "Goten wore himself out all day being a big brother too, he seems happy to be the big brother for a change."

Goku smiled and glanced at his sons in the rearview mirror.

"Where did you get that monkey at anyway?" he asked as Gohan held it over his head and hugged it again.

"Bulma gave it to me, she said she found it on the floor of her bedroom when she was getting a box of toys and things for Gohan, she said it must've fallen out and she handed it to me while you were setting Gohan in the car."

"Cool, that's pretty nice of her."

"Well, she thinks it might've been one of Trunk's old toys, and thought it might be something nice and cuddly to help Gohan sleep better."

"It works good at that." Goku said as he checked the back mirror to confirm Gohan had fallen asleep, and continued to drive home.

Meanwhile, Vegeta was going frantic in his room looking for something.

"Where is it? I had it here earlier and now its gone!" he said out loud, digging through the dresser and pulling things out from the closet. He was just about to check under the bed when a voice stopped him.

"Vegeta! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Bulma shrieked as she saw her bedroom in shambles.

"Looking for something." Vegeta replied and dove under the bed.

"Well what are you looking for? Maybe I can help." Bulma offered.

"You should already know what I'm searching for, Woman!" Vegeta yelled, getting frustrated, "You went on and on about knowing about it, even claiming to have pictures."

"Oh that," Bulma said, trying to sound convincing "well what exactly did it look like again?"

Vegeta popped his head out from under the bed and stared Bulma straight in the eye.

"If you had claimed to have seen it, then you would never be able to forget what it looks like." He continued to stare at her, until Bulma broke the contact.

"Alright, fine! I don't know what your secret is," she confessed as Vegeta smirked at her. "It was the only way I knew that could get you to keep an eye on Gohan for a while."

"You think that blackmailing me was the only way to get me to watch Kakarot's brat?"

"Yeah, it worked didn't it."

Vegeta smirked in reply. "I guess, come on, lets get some sleep. You still have to repair my gravity room like you promised."

"Alright, 'night Vegeta." Bulma said as she drifted off to sleep.

Vegeta didn't answer as he shut off the light, he was still thinking of where the last place he saw his monkey, Mr. Snuggy. Then it dawned on him, he thought he saw something from the backseat of the car as Kakarot had taken off, focusing his thoughts on it longer, he realized where Mr. Snuggy had disappeared too.

Back at Goku's house, Goku had just finished pulling into the driveway, and was carrying Goten out towards his bed while Chichi took Gohan in. After changing Goten into his pajamas, and tucking him in, Goku headed over to where Chichi had finished changing Gohan and settling him in his crib.

"Boy, he sure likes that monkey." Goku smiled as Gohan snuggled the monkey in his sleep.

"This sure does bring back memories." Chichi said, leaning against Goku. Yawning, they shut off the light to their son's bedroom and headed off towards their own. Not noticing the movement by their son's window.

Vegeta waited until he felt Goku's ki drop down to indicate that he had fallen asleep before making his move. Carefully, he crept into the open window and glanced around the room for any sign of movement. He quietly made his way over to the crib where he saw Gohan and his Mr. Snuggy.

Gohan shifted a little in his sleep, relaxing the grip he had on the monkey. That's when Vegeta made his move. Quickly snatching the monkey, he dove out the window he came from undetected as the silence of the night was interrupted by Gohan's cries. Thinking quickly, Vegeta flew away, clutching his beloved monkey.

Goku awoke to the feel of a ki and heard Gohan's cries. Getting up before his wife he smiled at her.

"Don't worry, I got this one." and headed off to his son's bedroom.

Gohan sat up in his crib with tears streaming down his face, when he saw a figure in the dark that he recognized as his father, he raised his arms up to be lifted.

"Aw what's wrong, Gohan?" Goku asked as he picked his son out of the crib. He glanced over to Goten's bed and was relieved to see him sound asleep.

"Goten sure can sleep through anything huh?" Goku said to Gohan, who had stopped crying.

"Well, your not wet," he said checking Gohan's diaper, "lets get you a bottle so you can go back to sleep."

He carried Gohan into the kitchen and sat him in a highchair while he opened the fridge and pulled out a fresh bottle that Chichi had prepared earlier. Closing the door he turned to see not one, but both son's were awake.

"Goten! What are you doing up? It's midnight." Goku whispered, trying not to wake up Chichi.

"I heard the fridge open, I thought you were making breakfast without me."

"No, Gohan just woke up and I'm trying to get him to go back to sleep, here I'll give you something to tide you over until breakfast time." Goku said, pouring Goten and glass of milk.

Goten drank the milk and headed back to bed, while Goku was busy trying to get Gohan to go back to sleep. Gohan drank three whole bottles before finally falling to sleep in his father's arms. Carefully, Goku placed Gohan back in his crib and headed back to bed.

Back at Capsule Corp, Vegeta had landed back on his balcony with his beloved Mr. Snuggy.

"Did that brat harm you?" he asked his monkey as he checked it over, "I'm sorry I wasn't more careful of putting you away, I promise I'll do better next time." He stared at the monkey's face. "What? You haven't grown attached to that brat have you? No of course not. I love you Mr. Snuggy."

And with one final hug, Vegeta stored his monkey in a capsule, hid it in his bedside table, and went to sleep.

Chibi-Gohan: Aw Vegeta and his little monkey! *Piccolo and Goku crack up laughing*

Vegeta: Brat! Take that part out immediately!

Chibi-Gohan: Why?

Vegeta: Because its sprouting with lies!

Chibi-Gohan: Oh really? *pulls out Mr. Snuggy*

Vegeta: Where did you get that?!

Chibi-Gohan: It doesn't matter does it? After all its a lie.

Vegeta: Give me that! *grabs Mr. Snuggy*

Piccolo: Aw monkey love! *laughs with Chibi-Gohan and Goku*

Vegeta: *blushes* Err, um aw damn! *flies off*

Chibi-Gohan: He'll be back, but I think he's gonna think of a better place to hide Mr. Snuggy.
