 Chapter 1: Can I?

      

       Trunks sat up in bed. "It's morning." He yawned. He was 6 years old and had become pretty good friends with Goten. Mrs. Briefs and Chi-Chi had been trying to get Vegeta to let Trunks go to school and each time he would reply, "NO! I never went to school and look how I turned out. He's not going!"

       Trunks ran down stairs. "Pa-pa? Pa-pa where are you? DADDY!" "What?!" Vegeta asked, walking out of the kitchen. "Are you going to let me go to school?" Vegeta was silent. "Please," Trunks made the puppy dog eyes but they didn't affect his father. "Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please." "Fine! Just shut up!" "Yeah!!! Then we need to go get some stuff." "Tomorrow." "But daddy-" Trunks began to whine. "Tomorrow!" Vegeta said firmly. "Fine. I'm going to go tell Goten!" Trunks yelled as he flew out the door before Vegeta could tell him no. 

       Trunks landed in Goten's front yard. He ran to the front door and knocked. 5-year-old Goten answered the door. "Hello, Trunks. Is your daddy going to let you go to school?" "Yeah, he is! Ain't it great?" "Come look at my school stuff" Goten said, leading Trunks to his room.

       "Hey, Goten, do you have a list of the stuff I'll need?" He asked. "My mommy might. Go asked her."  "Mrs. Goten's mommy!" Trunks yelled, walking into the kitchen. "Right her, Trunks." "Do you have a list of the stuff I need for school?" Trunks asked. "Oh, Is Vegeta letting you go to school? That's great. Yes, I have a list right over here." Chi-Chi handed him a list. "Great!" Trunks yelled as he grabbed the paper with out saying Thank you. "What a brat." Chi-Chi mumbled.

       Trunks stayed and played with Goten until about 8:00 p.m. then went home. "Daddy, I'm home!" Vegeta was sitting on the couch watching the news. He looked up at the clock. "You're late." "Huh?" Trunks looked at the clock. "It's 8:04. We train at 7:15!" Vegeta said angrily. "Oh, sorry, Daddy. I forgot." "Hmph. Go to bed." "But Daddy." "Now!" Vegeta yelled. Trunks sighed and obeyed. "Good night, Daddy."

       Trunks woke up super early the next morning. Rushing into Vegeta's room, he jumped up onto the bed. "Daddy!! Wake up!!" Vegeta grunted and threw Trunks off his chest. The boy landed on his butt and hit his head on the wall. "Ow." He rubbed his head.

       Jumping back up on Vegeta's chest, he began to hit him in the head with a pillow. "Get up! Get up!" he chanted. Vegeta growled as he looked at the clock. "Trunks!! It's 5:15 a.m.!!" "So… you said we'd get my school stuff! And I have a list!" he said waving a piece of paper in Vegeta's face.

       "Trunks it's 5:16! No way are we going anywhere right now! So get out and go back to sleep!" He yelled strictly. "But Daddy." Vegeta sat up so Trunks was sitting on his lap. "Now!" He yelled. "But Daddy! You said we'd go today!" Trunks yelled back. Vegeta picked trunks up, took him to his room, and dropped him on his bed. "Go back to sleep." "But Da-" Trunks began. "SLEEP!" Vegeta yelled, interrupting his son's protest.

       Vegeta went back to his room and feel, quickly, back to sleep. Trunks waited a few minutes then got up. "Wow, Daddy was mad. Must not have sleeped well, heh."  Trunks got dressed and ate breakfast. He watched TV until about eight, and then went up to Vegeta's room. Trunks climbed up on Vegeta's chest. "Daddy, wake up." He said softly.

       "Wake up!" He yelled. "Wake up, Wake up, Wake up!" Trunks chanted. "Shut up!" Vegeta grunted. "What time is it?" "Time to get up!" Trunks yelled. "That's not what I meant." Vegeta pushed Trunks back so he was sitting on his legs not his chest, then sat up. The clock read: 8:08 am. Vegeta noticed that Trunks was dressed, shirt on back wards, blue shorts, and no shoes, and had ketchup on his shirt, which meant he ate.

       Trunks climbed off Vegeta's lap and headed for the door. "Trunks!" Vegeta yelled. Trunks stopped wondering what hi did wrong. "You didn't go back to sleep did you?" Trunks blinked. "How'd you know?" He asked, but Vegeta said nothing.

       Trunks ran out of Vegeta's room and ran down stairs, while Vegeta got dressed. Trunks was sitting on the couch watching cartoons when Vegeta came down stairs. "Can we go now?" Trunks asked, turning around. 'Hmph." Vegeta walked into the kitchen to eat.

       By nine they were all ready to go. Vegeta was dressed and had eaten, and he had made trunks change shirts. "Can we go, now?" Trunks asked impatiently. Vegeta headed for the door. "Yeah! We can go, Finally!" Trunks ran to the door and both flew into the sky.

       They landed in the parking lot of the store. Trunks lead the way into the store. "Uh-oh…" Trunks reached into his pocket and Vegeta looked down at him. "What?" "I…I can't find the list!" "Well I guess you're not going to school." Vegeta said with a smirk across his face. "Bu-but… I wanna go!" Trunks whined.

       "I'll find it! Trunks searched his pockets. He couldn't find it so he started to cry. "I can't find it!" He cried, falling to his knees. "We're going home." Vegeta said, picking Trunks up. "No!" Trunks yelled as Vegeta flew into the air carrying his crying child.

       Vegeta landed in his back yard and set Trunks down on the ground. Trunks ran into the house and ran back out carrying the list. "I found it, Daddy. Now we can go, I wont loose it again." He said happily. "We're not going." "B-but…" Trunks was about to cry. He ran into the house. Vegeta went into the Gravity Room.

       Trunks ran through the Kitchen grabbed a credit card and flew out the front door. Landing in the parking lot, Trunks ran into the store, list in hand. "Okay, what's it say... I can't read it!!" Trunks started to cry and a young lady walked up to him. "Are you okay?" She asked. "No!" "What's wrong? Are you lost?" "No, I can't read this." Trunks said showing her the list. "Oh, I'll help It says:

                     School List

                                                          Kindergarten

· Safety scissors

· Markers

· Crayons

· Paper

· Pencils

· Back Pack

Do you need help finding these things or will your parents help you?" "Will you help me?" She smiled and took Trunks by the hand, leading him to the school supplies.

Vegeta walked out of the Gravity room and into the house. It was silent. "Where is Trunks?" Vegeta asked as he walked into the kitchen. "TRUNKS!!" There was no answer. Vegeta was thinking when he noticed the credit card on the table was gone. "He went to get his stuff." Vegeta took off out the door to the store.

 "So, what's your name?" The lady asked. "Trunks." "Well, that's a cute name. I'm Shelly." Trunks smiled. Shelly showed him to the scissors and he picked up a green and blue pair. "So, Trunks, where are your parents?" "My daddy's at home." "Home?! You mean you're here all alone?" Trunks nodded. Shelly showed him to the glue then to the markers and crayons.  Once he was done there she took him to the paper and pencils then the backpacks.

       Vegeta entered the store and sensed Trunks's ki in the backpack area so flew there. He quickly spotted Trunks standing with a young lady. "TRUNKS!" He yelled. Trunks looked up. "Uh-oh…" "Is that you father?" Shelly asked. "Yea, that's my daddy." Vegeta's arms where crossed and he looked very mad. "What the hell are you doing?" "Getting my school stuff." Trunks said, honestly. "I said you're not going!" "B-but, Daddy!" Trunks whined as he started to cry. "Stop crying, damn it." Vegeta yelled. Shelly knelt beside Trunks.

Vegeta walked over to Trunks. "Lets go." He picked Trunks up. "No! Please, I wanna go to school. Please, daddy." Trunks begged. "Fine! Now stop crying." Vegeta yelled putting Trunks down. The boy ran over and grabbed a black and yellow backpack, then handed Vegeta the credit card he had taken. They paid for the stuff then went home.
