What's a Kakarot? by Mango Madness (PG)

Hi, it's [livejournal.com profile] wizefics again. In addition to driving the Torchwood van, I've been tapped to share the fandom that first sucked me into fandom! Dragon Ball Z! Yes, that's right! We are going old school. I am going to try very hard to get some sort of DBZ Guide up before the end of the month. But, it's an old fandom, so I would think that most fans would already know everything. Besides, which, it's insanely complicated!

If you're totally new to the fandom and still interested, I suggest taking a quick peek at Wikipedia.


Title: What's a Kakarot?
Fandom: Dragon Ball Z
Pairing: hints of Goku/Chi-chi, Vegeta/Bulma
Author on LJ: Mango Madness
Author Website: Her FF Page
Why this must be read: Because at it's heart, DBZ is about the competition between Goku and Vegeta, whether they are trying to kill each other, or just prove that they are stronger and this fic focuses on that. Also, this is one of the funniest, laugh out loud fics I've ever read.

Author's Summary: After hearing the word day-in and out, young Trunks and Goten finally ask Vegeta to explain what a "Kakarot" is.

Excerpt: At that moment, the back door slammed open and Vegeta stalked out, cursing angrily to himself. He walked out onto the cement walkway and shouted, "Brats, I need more weight!"

"Whee, it’s horsey time!" Goten cheered, then quickly helped Trunks gather up the cards. They both ran over to Vegeta, who got down into position to do push-ups.

"Giddy-up!" Goten exclaimed, clambering onto Vegeta’s back.

"Shut up and sit down!" Vegeta snapped.

Trunks took his place on Vegeta’s shoulderblades and gave Goten an "ix-nay on the orsey-hay" look. Goten covered his mouth with his hands and nodded, eyes bright with enthusiasm, and sat down on Vegeta’s rear end. The moment the boys were situated, Vegeta started doing his push-ups.
