Humor is difficult, but you did a great job in making me smile without being over-the-top ridiculous. I'm so glad you didn't make Goku a caricature of a bouncing goofy idiot like some people do. You showed him as an adult, but still happy, and I found how he started making funny faces as he was brushing his teeth very realistic for him. I'm curious about what Goku's wearing now to get a reaction like that out of ChiChi. Is it something Vegeta is going to bring up? I've read parodies with the body-switch idea that were silly and were mostly focused on Goku and Vegeta trying and failing to act like each other with painfully stupid friends and family not noticing their gaffes-- the way you've written the body-switch so far though is more serious and really interesting. Was Vegeta used to waking up in pain because of old injuries or because of how hard he trained the night before? I'm really curious about what things Vegeta and Goku might learn about each other, and I loved that little insight of Goku's where he realized how intimidating his height and size might seem in comparison to Vegeta. Are they going to decide to hide the switch, and learn about how people treat the other one and what they have to deal with? It seemed like you hinted that Goten looks up to Vegeta and I wonder if you'll show Vegeta having a private kind of relationship with his son and Goten that Goku doesn't know how to deal with, as it is more small gestures and words rather than Goku's normal enthusiasm and openness.

I wonder if Vegeta will realize that in Goku's body and with Goku's chi he is finally stronger than Goku! Or maybe they both have to get used to fighting in their bodies, or handling transforming... Would the others distrust Vegeta now that Goku isn't strong enough to stop him if he wanted to try something? If Vegeta's body is often in pain, will the pain, the distrustful glances, and how the Earthlings treat Vegeta eventually get to Goku now that he's on teh receiving end and cause him to lose his temper?

I really like this story so far, with realism but with humor too. You've done a great job of showing the characters without trapping them in cliches of Vegeta and Goku, so I have high hopes about how this story will progress. Great job and I'm looking forward to Vegeta and Goku's talk next chapter!

I thought it was humorous. :) I'm surprised no one's done anything like this before. You'd think it'd be something popular. Or maybe someone already has and people just don't use it that much. I like how you have the little details down...such as height and voices and such. However, it gets kinda confusing when you mention Goku and Vegeta. Are you talking about the ones in the bodies or the bodies themselves? I assume it's the ones in the bodies or the souls hehe. Those ornery gods. ;) (Took me forever to find that word...I use it all the time and yet I didn't know how to spell it >.> ornery that is and because of that, I can't remember what else I was going to say...) Good stuff. :) Keep it going...if you can hehe.

This is an interesting idea and I look forward to where it will go.
