Chapter One: "The Other Side"
Holding suitcases and a smile on her face, Ryoko stepped into Trunks' time machine. "Goodbye everyone!" she called happily. Everyone waved, and Washu had tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry, Washu, they'll only be gone for the summer." coaxed Sasami, who also had tears in her eyes as she watched her friend Yuigi board after Gohan did.
"Bye Ryoko, I'll miss you!" called Tenchi. Ayeka nodded her head in agreement and continued to wave as everyone at the Masaki house watched Trunks, Gohan, Yuigi, and Ryoko head off into the parallel universe.
In the back seat Yuigi and Gohan sat down together, both excited. "Wow Gohan, this will be neat to see your world!" she smiled.
"Heh, yeah." he said nervously, blushing as he made an attempt to put his hand on her leg.
In the front seat, Trunks was starting the machine. Smiling pleasantly as he heard the engine hum, he turned to his girlfriend who was grinning brilliantly and running her fingers through her spiky, ice-green hair.
"This is amazing. I still can't believe we're going through to the parallel universe." she whispered, grinning wider.
"I've had fun here, but it will be good to be home!" said Trunks, "I can't wait to introduce you to everyone!"
"It seems like we're going on a long trip since we're in this machine and all, but actually we're just going through a portal and will be home in a short while!" called Gohan from the backseat, getting his wandering hand slapped by Yuigi.
"Yeah, I know!" called Ryoko, whipping her head around to meet his gaze, "Why are you rubbing your hand, Gohan?"
His face flushed as he glanced at Yuigi then back at Ryoko. "Oh, no reason."
Shrugging, Ryoko sat back down in her shotgun seat.
"Ok, here we go!" laughed Trunks happily, glad to be finally going home to his relatives from the past. He had gotten to know the people in this world as if they were family, but going home still would be a relief. I think I'll take Ryoko on a trip sometime, show her around. he thought as the time machine began to rise above the house, then eventually it rose above the forest.
Within a few seconds, the swirling purple portal that was the gateway between the worlds appeared. So this is how Dakin got us here in the first place. I must have missed going through it since I was talking to Gohan about the hotsprings and our vacation. That's crazy. thought Trunks, aiming for the portal.
"This is it!" laughed Gohan.
Everyone's heart pounded as the portal engulfed them. "Good thing Washu added that force field to this time machine, or else after we went through the portal, the machine would malfunction." said Gohan, remembering how sparks suddenly shot across the dashboard when they first arrived here, not too far from the shrine.
"Yeah, I'm glad she did. I don't feel like having it broken again." laughed Trunks.
The pulling feeling ended, and everyone looked out the windows. "So this is it. This is the parellel world..." Yuigi's voice drifted as she looked around, astonished that it didn't look all that different.
"It doesn't look much different, but it's strange just knowing that I crossed over." breathed Ryoko, also glancing around.
Gohan and Trunks grinned at each other after seeing the girls' faces struck with amazement.
In unison, Trunks and Gohan said to the girls, "Welcome to the other side!"
Chapter 2: "Explainations"
After a while, Gohan's small house came into view. "Yeah! Home!" cried Gohan. Yuigi forced a smile on her face. Inside, she was nervous. What if his parents don't like me, or find out about my past? she thought, swallowing hard.
"Well, we were gone longer than we were supposed to be, so I guess I'll have to explain matters to Chi-Chi and Goku for you, huh?" Trunks asked Gohan.
"Yeah, I guess you'd better so my mom doesn't freak." he sighed. "She gets upset over everything."
Descending from the sky, Yuigi got more and more nervous. Ryoko got more excited.
Before they knew it, they were bursting through the San houshold. Chi-Chi looked at the door, confused at the sudden noise. She saw her son and got tears in her eyes. "Gohan...you're back!" she cried, running to meet and hug him. After recollecting herself, she noticed that Gohan and Trunks weren't alone. Ryoko was looking at the doorway border, and Yuigi was looking at the floor. Chi-Chi didn't know them, but she felt sorry for them because they looked so nervous. "Hi!", she called, "Please do come in."
"Thanks." smiled Ryoko, putting her hands into the pockets of her dark blue jean jacket. She stood by Trunks. Yuigi cleared her throat and stood behind the threesome in front of her.
"I guess you're wondering why we have girls with us, heh?" laughed Trunks nervously, running his hand through his hair.
"Yeah, pretty much." said Chi-Chi coldly, crossing her arms as she looked at Trunks. I just knew the son of that monster Vegeta couldn't be trusted for one minute! Let's see what he has to say to me. If he has a good excuse I just might let him off easy.
"Hey kiddo!" Goku called, entering the room. Laughing, Gohan hugged his dad.
"It's good to be back!" said Gohan, grinning.
"Why were you gone so long? You were supposed to come home about a week ago!" stated Goku. Right about then he noticed the two girls standing in his kitchen. "Oh...uh...girlfriends?" whispered Goku slyly. Gohan blushed. "Eh...Trunks was just about to explain the whole thing."
Oh great. Goku's gonna beat me to a pulp for keeping his son away for an extra week, and plus bringing two girls back with us. thought Trunks as he gulped, his eyes rolling to gaze at his feet. Sighing, he told Chi-Chi and Goku the whole story; about arriving at the Masaki house, finding out that it was a parellel universe, having the time machine broken, and also about fighting Dakin and Caine. The fighting part made Chi-Chi gasp and toss a fierece look at Trunks. I guess it's not Goku I have to worry about, it's his wife! thought Trunks.
"My poor baby!" cooed Chi-Chi, hugging Gohan. He sighed and rolled his eyes. "How dare you put him in danger! I trusted you with him, Trunks!"
"Well, I didn't exactly plan on falling into a different world." chuckled Trunks nervously. She's gonna kill me...she's gonna kill me...
"And why are those girls with you?" barked Chi-Chi, no longer caring about being nice to the strangers.
"Well...eh...Ryoko is my girlfriend," he said, waving a hand towards Ryoko. Chi-Chi examined her. She looks like a punk! Chi-Chi thought, tossing a disdainful look at the spiky-haired girl.
"And Yuigi........," Trunks cut himself off. Chi-Chi wouldn't accept the fact that they were 'going out'. What would he say?
"Yuigi...wants to train with us." said a 'quick-thinking' Gohan. With her eyes widening, Chi-Chi began to protest against any more sparring. There was already enough!
Gohan saw this look on his mother's face and corrected himself. "By training I mean...uh...studying?" he stated, but it sounded more like a question. Chi-Chi nodded her head in approval. "It's good to see that you found a study partner for the summer. This means no more fooling around and getting straight to your homework." smiled Chi-Chi.
Groaning, Gohan waved off Trunks and Ryoko as they shut the door behind them, leaving Yuigi and Gohan to proceed to their 'training' torture.
Hopping into Trunks' time machine, Ryoko and Trunks took off towards Capsule Corp.
"This is exciting! I can't wait to see what your house looks like, and your parents. I mean, your past parents."
Trunks flashed a smile. "Sometime I'll take you to the future so you can meet my mom. My future mom." he said sarcastically.
"Are you mocking me?" asked Ryoko in fake anger.
"Yep." whispered Trunks huskily, kissing her cheek. She smiled as he started the engine and they took off for Capsle Corp.
Before they knew it, the big dome-shaped building was in their sights. "Wow, that's really your house? That's huge!" cried Ryoko, looking it over.
Grinning at her excitement, Trunks landed on the grass by a maple tree. Upon hearing the noise that the machine made, Bulma rushed out of the house and her mouth opened into a smile. "Trunks, you're back!" she laughed, seeing her son hop out of the machine. A few short moments after he jumped out, Ryoko followed.
"And you're not alone." observed Bulma, looking at Trunks.
"Uh, I'll explain everything inside." he said, waiting for Ryoko as Bulma ran inside to tell Vegeta that Trunks was back, and also that he had a possible girlfriend with him.
Once inside, Trunks stood by Ryoko in front of the couch where Bulma, Vegeta, and Baby Trunks were now sitting. Has my son found a mate? wondered Vegeta as Trunks began the story. He told them everything that happened, and said that Ryoko was indeed his girlfriend. She included the fact that she was from Jurai, and had powers.
Hmmm...I would like to see this 'power'. thought Vegeta to himself, rubbing his chin.
Seeing that look in his fathers eyes, that thirst for a fight, Trunks immediatly thought Oh boy, we're in for trouble!
Chapter 3: "Settling In With Unsettling 'House-Mates'"
Once Trunks and Ryoko left the San house, and the door slammed behind them, Gohan thought he was in for a rough time.
"So, what's your name again?" asked Chi-Chi, who still had her arms crossed. "Yagi?"
"Um...it's Yuigi." she corrected, her blue eyes still focused on her feet. She hates me, I just know it...
Instead of yelling again, Chi-Chi smiled at the girl. She's a pretty little girl. thought Chi-Chi to herself. "Well, Yuigi, you can sleep in our guest bedroom. Anyone who helps Gohan with his studies is a good person in my book."
In surprise, Yuigi's eyes shot open and she looked at Chi-Chi. Chi-Chi just laughed and waved a hand to the end of the hall. "Your bedroom is down this way."
Goku and Gohan watched Chi-Chi and Yuigi walk down the hall. "Study-Buddy, huh? Well, I still think you have a crush on her." teased Goku. By the way Gohan was blushing, Goku could tell that he liked Yuigi, but he didn't say anything. This should be interesting... thought Goku, smiling at his son.
Meanwhile, over at Capsule Corp., Trunks was in quite the situation. Vegeta kept on trying to get Ryoko outside to fight her, but Trunks told her not to go. Also, Bulma kept on asking Trunks all these questions, like if they were madly in love and whatnot.
"You're just too chicken to fight me, that's what!" teased Vegeta playfully.
"You're just lucky that your son is stopping me from pounding you, or else you wouldn't be eating solid food for a week!"
"So, how'd ya meet?" said Bulma slyly, while at the same time Trunks was still trying to convince Ryoko to NOT go outside.
Trunks sighed. "When Tenchi introduced us at his house, that's when we met."
Vegeta took his son's distraction as an chance to fight. In one movement, he opened the door, threw Ryoko out, and then slammed it behind them.
Upon hearing the door slam, Trunks said "Oh no!" and dashed outside, followed by his mother. But it was too late: Vegeta and Ryoko were ripping each other apart with punches and laser beams. Pieces of clothing were visible and smoking on the ground.
Whenever Trunks got too close, Vegeta would shove him away. Ryoko looked just as eager for a fight as Vegeta did. Doing a spin kick, she kicked him into a crouching position, and then sent him flying into the sky by kicking him in between the legs. Ouch...that must not feel too wonderful! thought Trunks, flinching.
Vegeta couldn't look more ticked off. He bared his teeth and looked at Ryoko, who was just smirking. "FINAL FLAAAASSHHH!" he screamed, and a huge beam shot through the air right for Ryoko. "NOOO!" cried Trunks, dodging in front of Ryoko, blocking the blast. When the smoke cleared after contact, Trunks had a sliver of blood running down his face and his clothes were torn up pretty good.
"Father, you fool! Just because she has powers doesn't mean she's the strongest being alive. What are you thinking? You could've killed her you jerk!" This was the maddest he had ever been at his father. Sure, it ticked him off when Vegeta insulted him, and it saddened him even more when he ignored him, but this? This was the thing that angered him the most. He flew up to meet his father and was about to punch him in the stomach, but Bulma cried, "Trunks! NO!"
"Whaaat?" said Trunks, annoyed.
Bulma waved her hand down and Trunks decended to the ground beside her.
"You'll just get him fired up, huh, if he isn't fired up enough already." she smiled. "You're girlfriend is quite the pistol."
"That she is." he agreed, looking at Ryoko. She had her tongue stuck out, making Vegeta shake with anger and annoyance. He flew down to beat her up some more, but Bulma said, "Vegeta, get your butt over here!"
"Whaaat?" he said in the same voice his son did. Must be inherited... thought Bulma, grinning.
Bulma pulled Vegeta away from her son, so that they could talk alone. "Listen, HUN." she said aggressively to Vegeta. "If you have any anger to take out, you can...uh...," she smiled and winked, "Take it out on me later."
At first, Vegeta thought that Bulma wanted him to beat her up, so he looked at her funny. Then it finally sank in, the meaning of what she said. "Deal..." he grinned devilishly. Bulma led him inside. "Now, let's all eat dinner like civilized people." she said, smiling still.
Now it was just Trunks and Ryoko outside. Trunks was blushing and Ryoko was trying to cover her laughs, but she couldn't. "What are you laughing about?" he asked, his face still red.
Grinning, Ryoko explained. "I was just thinking if Vegeta was capable to 'take anything out' on your mom, after how I kicked him in between the legs." After that, she started cracking up. Blushing harder, Trunks questioned, "Erm, you heard them too?"
"Yep, I don't have big ears for nothin'."
They walked inside, both trying to contain their laughs about what they shouldn't have heard.
Like it? Well, if you do, please check back if you wish to read more…I'm no where near done with this story!
