Bulma assumed she was still dreaming when she heard a tiny, kitten-like sneeze. Other than Vegeta, she was the only one in the room, and she hadn't sneezed and he didn't sneeze like that. She did open her eyes, and knew she was dreaming when she saw a four inch tall, astonished looking Vegeta staring at her. Then she saw others... seven others.

She sat up abruptly. "What the...!?" She picked one up. It squeaked cutely, squirming in her grasp. "Aww... Oh my God. Oh God. Look at you!" She looked down at the others. They were all huddled together on the pillow, murmuring in high, incoherent voices.

It dawned upon her that she was not, as she'd thought, dreaming. Bulma slowly set the little Vegeta down, then burst out laughing. How had this happened!? She scrabbled for her phone. <Goku!> she texted. <Omg, you have to come see this, look!!!> She sent a photo of the eight tiny Saiyans.

A few minutes later, Goku replied. <wtf Vegeta???>

Goku suddenly appeared and came over, peering down, baffled, at the multiple little princes. "Vegeta? What happened to ya!?"

Upon seeing Goku and hearing his voice, all of the Vegetas started squeaking and making their way over to him. Goku noted that they all looked very different from the others. One looked like a young Vegeta, one wore the armor and scouter he was in when he first met Goku, one wore the simple blue spandex that he normally wore, one wore casual clothes, then there was a Super Saiyan, and Super Saiyan Three and Four? Then Goku widened his eyes when he saw a tiny Majin Vegeta. "What in the world?"

A few of them crawled up onto his arms, murmuring happily. Bulma popped her hands over her mouth. "Oh my God, they're so cute. How did this happen?" One sat on her leg, smiling up at her.

Goku felt his insides melting as the Vegetas interacted with each other and tried to interact with him and Bulma. They were so tiny... They couldn't speak, he realized. Not anything he or Bulma could understand. He picked up the Super Saiyan Three in both hands and gazed at it. "Hey, Vegeta... What happened, buddy? Ya got all split up."

Tiny Majin Vegeta tugged on his pants leg, pouting and tapping his foot. He murmured softly. He was obviously trying to sound intimidating, but Goku could not see anything scary about the cute little demon.

"I am in love," Bulma announced. "Look at them, Goku. They're so cute. And there's eight of them!"

Majin Vegeta stamped his foot, muttering louder. He pointed towards the door, then kicked Goku's kneecap. For being as tiny as he was, the angry little Vegeta was still very strong.

"What do you want?" Goku asked. He picked up this one as well. Majin Vegeta motioned him closer, then yelled in his ear. Goku made out only a tiny bit, but deduced that they were hungry. "Oh! Hey, let's feed them."

He and Bulma carried them into the kitchen and set them down on the table. While Bulma started cooking, Goku sat down and made more observations. Their heads were slightly too large for their tiny bodies, which gave them a doll-like appearance. Their eyes were huge. They were so dark and adorable. Two of them cuddled up together and fell asleep. The others, excluding the grumpy Majin, began exploring the table.

Goku pet Majin Vegeta's hair, only to have his finger swatted away. "Oh, don't be like that," he chuckled. He tried again, and a third time. Eventually the mean little Saiyan allowed the affectionate gesture, even purring softly at the contact. "There we go..."

Bulma did a quick head count as she set a big plate of food on the table. "Hey. We're missing one." She counted again and looked around on the chairs. "Found him!" She pried the fourth level Saiyan from a table leg with a giggle. "Come eat."

The others had already discovered the food and were digging in. Goku actually almost had a heart attack from being exposed to this much cuteness. He made sure they all got enough to eat, even sharing a little bit of his food when Four Vegeta came over because their plate was empty. After eating a strip of bacon, he went back over to where the other seven were sitting together and plopped down as well. They all looked stuffed and sleepy.

"That's not right," Bulma muttered. "Being that cute should be illegal."

Goku nodded in agreement. He gathered all eight of them in his arms and on his shoulders. "We'll be on the couch," he informed her. "I'll try not to lose any of them." He went and sat on the couch, nestling them all comfortably on his lap. One of them yawned, rubbing his face tiredly. Goku squeaked softly. "Why are you guys so cute?"

Majin Vegeta was out. He was laying face down on the cushion, obviously asleep. Goku laughed quietly. Then he was distracted by an attention-seeking Super Saiyan version of his friend. He obliged to the little guy's demands by picking him up. Immediately he started purring and snuggled into Goku's hand.

Bulma joined them, noting that most of them were unconscious. "They're so cute... although they're not acting much like Vegeta," she said.

"It's ok." Goku stroked Majin Vegeta's back with his finger. The demon was purring softly in his sleep. "I hope we get our normal Vegeta back, but I really love these guys."

"Eight..." Bulma shook her head, then grinned. "I have an idea. You take four home and I'll keep four."

"Really?" Goku gasped. "For real?"

"Sure. He is your best friend after all." Bulma smiled and pet one. "So tiny... and so fragile I imagine, Saiyan or not."

Goku nodded. "I'll take this one..." He picked up the fourth level Saiyan and slipped him into his big pocket. "And this guy." He held Majin Vegeta a little closer in a claim. "Ya know what? I'll take all the Super Saiyans." He picked up the other two. "That leaves you with the easy ones." He smiled at Bulma. "I promise I'll take good care of them."

"I know you will," Bulma said with a smile. "Thank you."

Goku headed home, but halfway there, Four Vegeta woke up in his pocket and began to cry in confusion. He hurriedly slipped his hand into his pocket, only to have the little Saiyan cling desperately to his fingers. "Aw, it's ok, buddy." He lifted Vegeta out of his pocket and realized he was shaking. "What's the matter? You ok?" The others began to whine and get closer to him as well.

Goku couldn't stand seeing them like that, so he used his Instant Transmission to go home. One fell off his shoulder with a squeak of terror, but he managed to catch it. "Whoa! Careful!"

Majin Vegeta flew into the kitchen. Goku blinked. "Wait, y'all can fly? Scared me to death," he said to the third transformation. It squeaked and smiled up at him. Goku melted. "Aww, I can't stay mad at you, little guy." He kissed it on top of the head. "Well, this is gonna be fun..."
