Chapter One: Dinner Guests
At Capsule Corporation, Vegeta is diligently working Trunks to make him superior in strength to Goten before the 24th Tenkibudaki. "I told you! Never attack before you mock!" explained Vegeta.
"But why?" asked an 8-year-old battered up boy with lavender mushroom cut hair.
Vegeta humphed and replied, "Because my young saiya-jin...IT'S ESSENTIAL IN INTIMIDATING YOUR OPPONENT!"
"Okay, okay you don't need to yell."
"Fine, then lets hear it hot shot," grunted Vegeta.
"Uum okay, here goes nothing." Trunks scrunched up his face like he had seen his father do many times before. "Kakorot! You will fight me! Now!...No...stop eating...NO I DON'T WANT ANY! Kakorot if you don't fight me I'll blow up all that food!...KAKOROT COME BACK HERE WITH MY LUNCH!" He looked at his father and grinned, "Like that?"
Vegeta looked at Trunks with annoyance, "Haha very funny...now lets hear something for real."
"All right..." Trunks replied thinking. I don't know any insults! Um...oh hey I know! I'll use the line from one of Goku's stories! He looked over at his dad. "You don't stand a chance against me because I am all mighty and you are nothing but a worthless monkey! You hear me! A MONKEY!"
Vegeta stared at his son.
"What?"
"Don't think I don't know where you got that line from boy...I too have had to sit through Kakorot's on going stories of his fight with Frieza."
Ah darn! Now what am I suppose to do?
Vegeta frowned, "I might as well show you how it is done."
Vegeta grabbed Trunks by the collar of his shirt and said, "In a matter of seconds I will have you screaming in pain so I suggest you let me finish you off so your pitiful existence will end quickly."
Trunks blinked. "That's it?"
Vegeta dropped him and tossed a towel around his neck and scowled. "I'd like to see you come up with something better and I'll give you ten minutes to do it while I go shower, so when I get back you better have a good and original line or I'll..."
Don't worry I will!" Trunks assured his father. I hope!
Outside of the Son house, Goten is also being trained for the tournament by his father but with a completely different method.
"Okay son, now see this?" asked Goku as he held up an orange and blue training outfit identical to his. "Put this on and you'll be the best lookn' little fighter there...you know looking good is my secret to winning."
"Reeeaaalllyyy?" Goten's eyes went wide in shock. "So you're saying," he began as he took the gi. "That if I wear this at the tournament I'll win!? Even against Trunks!?"
"Well a little training wouldn't hurt...you know, that way you'll have a great figure to show off with the outfit!"
"Okay!" agreed Goten.
Bring! Bring!
"I got it!" called ChiChi to the guys outside. "Hello?"
"Hi ChiChi, it's Bulma. Listen, I was wondering if you and your family would like to have dinner with mine tonight."
"Why, what's the occasion?"
"No occasion, I am just trying to come up with a reason for Vegeta to let Trunks eat something other than protein bars!"
"Oh! Well then we'd love to."
"Great! How about sevenish? That should give us both enough time to get the men cleaned up and for the cook to make room on his menu for four more." explained Bulma.
"Three, Gohan has too much studying to do tonight so I'm afraid he won't be able to join us."
"All right three then."
"Fine with me, and I'm sure Goku will be fine with it too as long as there is a lot of food."
"Don't worry there will be a feast! Well I'm going to go tell Vegeta about our plans and convince him to let Trunks eat a sensible dinner for once."
"Okay, bye and good-luck!"
"Thanks see you tonight!"
Bulma hung up the phone and went to the work-out center her dad had built by the request of Vegeta. A very influential request by the look of it. I was filled with the most high-quality latest equipment made for getting in shape.
Knock, knock, knock!
Vegeta opened he door to see Bulma. "Oh what is it woman! Didn't I tell you to keep out of here while I'm training the boy!?"
"And didn't I tell you, that this is my home and I can go where ever I please, whenever I please!" retorted Bulma as she walked under Vegeta's arm to get inside.
"Grrrrrrrr...well get on with it."
"Get on with what dear?"
"GGGGGGrrrrrrr...whatever it is your here for!"
"Oh yes, I wanted to tell you to clean up at seven."
"Why?" asked Vegeta, annoyed.
"Because we're having the Son Family over for dinner, that's why."
"WHAT!? THAT DID YOU INVITE THEM TO DINNER FOR!"
"They are our friends and plus I bet Trunks would love to see Goten after all this hard training you've put him through!"
"Oh no, I will not have Trunks eating with those people nor will I!"
"Oh you're going to eat with these people and YOUR GONNA BE NICE AND POLITE AND A WONDERFUL HOST!" yelled Bulma.
Vegeta grunted and walked over to Trunks, who gave his mother a look that said FOOD!?
Bulma nodded.
"YIPPIE!" screamed Trunks.
As Bulma was leaving she heard Vegeta ask Trunks what he was so happy about and Trunks trying to make up a reason.
"Ooooh Gooookkkuuu!!!" called ChiChi.
Goku ran into the kitchen and asked, "Dinner's ready?"
"No, we're going over to the Briefs' for dinner so I want you and Goten to clean up."
Goten walked into the kitchen as his mom announced their dinner arrangements.
"YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Huh, I guess Goten's happy to be going to see Trunks although I can't imagine what made Vegeta invite us over for dinner after last week when he challenged my son against his in the tournament." thought Goku aloud.
"Oh well he must be in a good mood or something?" guessed ChiChi. Or maybe he doesn't know...
"Hey what about Gohan?" asked Goku.
"Oh he has to study for his collage exams next week, so he'll just eat some of last nights dinner and study while we're gone."
"Boy, I thought he would jump at the chance to go see Trunks. They've always been pretty close since Trunks starting thinking of Gohan as his mentor."
At the top of the stairs Gohan was listening to the conversation. I do want to go but mom thinks I need to study more, but I've been studying for this test for the last four months!
"Well you know him, schools the most important thing! So anyway why don't you guys get cleaned up so we can go on over.
"I'm ready!" exclaimed Goten as Goku was about to leave.
"Well your a spunky little fella, now aren't ya." said Goku patting Goten on the head and leaving to clean up.
Goten smiled. Trunks! I never thought I would see you until this tournament thing was over!
At the Briefs, Bulma was running around making sure everything was ready.
"DAD! DID YOU TAKE A SHOWER!?"
"Yes dear."
"VEGETA? DID YOU SET THE TABLE?"
"...yes...yes," grunted Vegeta.
"TRUNKS?! DID YOU COMB YOUR HAIR?"
"Yes mother."
Ding dong!
"That's them! Now remember everyone be on your best behavior!" ordered Bulma eyeing Vegeta. "EVERY ONE!"
Bulma opened the door and there was ChiChi next to Goku with Goten on his shoulders.
"Hi Guys!" exclaimed Goku as he took in a whiff of air, "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm smells good!"
Vegeta had is arms crossed and stared at Goku irritably. "Heh, you are so obsessed with food, I bet you'd throw a fight for a leg of chicken!"
"Maybe...Depends on the seasoning." Goku replied thoughtfully as he walked pasted Vegeta whose eyes were wide in shock.
Goten jumped off his dad's back and ran over to Trunks. "Hiya Trunks!"
Trunks looked over at his father who was making a face that said remember what I told you!
"I better go see if my mom needs any help in the kitchen." said Trunks staring at the floor.
"Huh!?" Goten said confused as Trunks ran to the kitchen.
During dinner Chichi and Bulma did most of the talking. Vegeta was watching Goku eat thinking about the comment he made earlier and Goten was staring at Trunks wondering if Trunks was mad at him.
When dinner was over Trunks ran up to his room to get ready for bed. Bulma asked Vegeta to clean up the dishes as she escorted the Son's out.
"Thank you for a wonderful meal Bulma." thanked ChiChi.
"Yeah, it was GREAT!" commented Goku.
"...yeah...thanks a bunch," grumped Goten.
"Bye!" said Bulma and she shut the door.
As the Son Family was walking down the driveway, a piece of paper hit Goten on the head and landed on the floor. Goten picked it up and unwrapped it.
Goten,
Sorry about before but my dad was there and he had told me earlier that I can't be nice to the opponent.
Anyway meet me at the old oak tree at ten passed eleven.
your best bud,
Trunks =P
Goten's mouth formed a large grin as he read the note. When he had finished reading it, his dad flew up on nimbus.
"What's that you got son?" he asked.
"Oh, just a reminder to...uh..um...train tomorrow!" Goten replied happily.
"A reminder? Are you really that bad at remembering things, Goten?"
"Oh no, I just...well um..."
"Okay, let's just go home now. I have a lot of dirty training suits to clean for tomorrow!" coaxed ChiChi.
"Alright, alright, jump on son." replied Goku.
Goten climb up on nimbus and sat down next to his dad. Throughout the ride home Goten couldn't think of anything except the note as he tightly clutched it in his hand as if it were a gift from god.
