Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ or it's chara.

Note: Trunks, Vegeta, Buruma, and Bra's surname will be Vegeta; as in all my other DBZ fanfics.

Note2: I use the official DBZ timeline from DBZ Daizenshuu 7, as translated by Greg Werner (www.ultimatedbzinfo.com)

Note3: Dragonball/Z does NOT take place on OUR Earth; it is a totally different world than ours, with different countries, races, and even religions. (How many worship Dende I wonder?)

Note4: THIS IS NOT YAOI, IT IS MORE OF A TOM SAWYER AND HUCK FINN SORT OF STORY.

Note5: This is part of my E Series; named after what I think a new DB series would be called (Akira would try and write an English 3 but get it wrong, just like Z was supposed to be 2). All fanfics marked with an E at the title in parenthesis are so. All others are Aus, parodies, and stories that have nothing to do with the E series

Note6: TENKAICHI BUDOKAI ARE NOT ANNUAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Note7: When Vegeta says Braght, think brat

"sit amet dorem" Speech

"Dorem ipsum sit amet" thought

*Dorem dolor sit amet* Saiya-jin bond

~~Dolor ipsum sit amet~~ Scenario/Time change

Blood Brothers:

The Shenanigans of Trunks and Goten

Chapter 1: Of Martial Arts and Practical Jokes

The year was 778 AD, four years after the twenty-fifth Tenkaichi Budokai, and the battle with Majin Buu. Thousands and thousands of people gathered for a new Tenkaichi Budokai, the twenty-sixth. Like the previous tournament, the matches were partitioned into a Junior Division, and a senior division. And yet again, two Demi Saiya-jin were forced to enter in the less competitive youth tournament; nearly eleven year old Son Goten, and twelve year old Vegeta Trunks. Sixteen young fighters competed; most of which were what Trunks called "Saibaimen Fodder". This time they did have some good competition; namely each other. The final round of the Junior division commenced after many short punches--er--matches.

The Announcer flung his mike into the air and addressed the crowd. "At last we come to the Final Round in the Third Junior Tenkaichi Budokai!" cheers ensued

Goten stepped into the ring "In this corner, we have last time's runner up Son Goten!" the crowed cheered "In case you haven't already guessed, ladies and germs, Goten is the Son of the Son Goku; a four time competitor here!" More cheers; this is what Announcer liked to hear. "Son Goku never failed to make it into the finals; with the exception of last time when he and seven other fighters contracted Fugu Puffer fish poisoning."

Trunks stepped into the ring "And here is last time's Champion Vegeta Trunks; the son of Vegeta Buruma, heiress to the Capsule Corporation." more cheers "His father is Vegeta, husband of Buruma, who has graciously donated many Battle Strength reading devices patented under the name Scouters!" cheers again

Announcer's sunglasses gleamed "LET THE FINAL ROUND BEGIN!"

~~Grandstand~~

Chichi quivered with anticipation. Next to her sat Goku, and next to Goku was Buruma followed by Vegeta. "Goku sa, Goten chan looks so cute in that Gi you gave him!"

Goku gave his Son Grin "I dunno; I think he looks powerful in it!"

Vegeta humphed "Kakkarot-kun, Your braght can never defeat my braght!"

Chichi growled "Will you stop referring to them as brats!?"

Buruma rolled her eyes "Chichi, B-r-a-g-h-t is Saiyanese for boy!"

Chichi paled "Oh…sorry…"

Gyu Mao laughed "I love it when you guys fight! It's so funny!"

Oolong pointed to the ring "hey! The match is starting!"

~~The Ring~~

Goten tightened his belt "ready to fight, Trunks-kun?"

Trunks smirked "As always!"

"So, should we go super right away or halfway?"

"I say we warm up first!"

"You're getting soft, Trunks!"

"I am prince of the Saiya-jin!"

"What does that have to do with anything?"

Trunks blanched "I dunno…it does sound kinda stupid, come to think of it…tousan sure says it a lot, doesn't he?"

"Yeah, but when he says it you wanna respect him and kiss his boots and stuff!"

"Speak for yourself freak!"

"come on! Let's just fight already!" whined Goten

"You're so-" Trunks charged at Goten and punched "Pushy!"

Goten and Trunks fought beautifully the same way they did before. Neither could land a hit or break free of the punches and kicks. For thirty minutes or so this went on; every time a punch to the face or a kick to the gut was made, the crowd went wild. Whenever a major league hit was made, they roared and jumped up and down. The splendor of their fighting style would have made King Vegeta and Bardock proud indeed. Finally, Trunks and Goten stopped and stared each other down. Goten signaled Announcer over to him and whispered something in his ear.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is unbelievable!" he announced "Goten has told me to inform you that he and Trunks are done warming up and to be prepared for more intense fighting and Kikoha!" the crowd cheered "I must ask that everyone puts on sunglasses, because they may begin flying. A pair of binoculars are under each seat; feel free to use them. In case of Ki blast usage, force fields have been erected."

Trunks smirked "Time for special attacks!"

"yeah!" cheered Goten

Trunks powered up "Gar-"

Goten powered up "ka-me"

"-Rik-"

"ka-me"

"-ku-"

"HA!"

"HO!"

The two Ki beams were released, and then they pushed each other. Both Demi Saiya-jin increased their Ki power. Announcer quickly pulled out one of the Scouters that Capsule Corporation's "Exercise Equipment and Martial Arts Supplies" department had donated. He was amazed at what he saw; they were both at about 300,000 apiece. He was loving this possibly more than the warriors in the ring. The two beams formed a ball in the center. First the purple half pushed forward more, then the blue half even closer, and then the purple half.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Our finalists seem to be engaging in some sort of Tug-of-war!"

After ten minutes, both fighters soaked with sweat, the ball of Ki at the center exploded and both fell down. Announcer began his count, but both got up at five.

"Um…excuse me Trunks…who won that little contest?" he asked

Trunks spoke into the microphone "Goten did. It was closer to me, so he won that part."

"All right now! Sorry for the interruption; please do continue!"

Goten gave his Son Grin "All right, Trunks kun! Time to get much tougher!"

Trunks smirked "Yeah!"

Both turned Super Saiya-jin and charged each other. More of the heated battle ensued. At the end, both fighters' clothes were torn down to pants and a torn undershirt. After one final charge, Trunks and Goten were sent flying; they were both thrown out of the ring. Trunks landed first, by about a hair.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! Son Goten!"

The crowd cheered

"Son Goku lost in a similar situation, but his son Goten pulled through it all! He is our new Junior Champion!"

~~Locker Room~~

Trunks and Goten changed into their civilian clothes.

"Hey, good job today!" said Trunks

"You too!" said Goten "You almost had me!"

"Hey! Do you wanna go do some fun?"

"What kinda fun?" asked Goten "Does it involve food or thrill rides?"

"Let's cause some mischief while we're here!"

Goten did his open faced smile "yeah! You wanna take over another fighter's identity again?"

"Nah, too risky. Let's just make it up as we go along!"

"let's go!"

Goten and Trunks dashed off with their implements of trouble in their bags. The stadium was cleared, as it was the thirty minute intermission. Trunks took to the ring and poured soap on scattered spots. Goten squirted super glue on the grass. After finishing his first job, Goten thought of another good one. Sneaking off towards the snack bar, the Demi-Saiya-jin hatched a plan.

Trunks flew over to the control room on the top floor. He turned on a computer that told which seats to raise which side of which panels in order to create words and pictures like a mosaic. Smirking, the "technically a prince" altered the day's program. He looked around and saw another device that caught his interests. With a keyboard and mouse, Trunks made the necessary changes. Then he wired the computer to be overridden by a remote that he created.

~~Later, at the First Rounds~~

Trunks and Goten hid behind the hedges and watched the two ordinary guys slip and slide until they both landed out of the ring. Both pre-teen warriors laughed their asses off; and even more when Announcer announced that both were disqualified for weapon usage. The next round was even better; Puntar from the previous tournament faced off against Giran. However, Giran came into the ring with almost an entire lawn of grass stuck to his feet and tail. Unable to make footing, the dinosaur fell on his back, and stayed down for ten counts. The third round was oh so hilarious; it was Mister Satan versus his old pal, Jewl. As the match (so to speak) got better, Trunks pushed a few buttons. A mosaic sign was raised:

MISTER SATAN IS GAY!

It flipped over

HE LIKES MEN!

Mister Satan was so shocked, that Jewl was able to land a punch in the gut. Trunks and Goten laughed harder than ever; they became Super Saiya-jin just to be able to take it. Their Kis were noticed by some in the grandstand, but nobody did anything about it. The next sign that Trunks Created was "JEWL LIKES HOT MALE ASS". Goten complimented Trunks on his work by slapping him five. Jewl was so very bewildered that he slipped on one of Trunks' puddles of soap, and fell out of the ring. The next round started.

"Hey! Trunks kun! It's Idaasa!" chirped Goten

"Sure is!" Trunks chuckled "That other guy is way stronger than he is! Let's help him out and pull a prank besides; I mean, I did bust him up pretty bad…"

"Hai!"

Trunks snuck over to the other side of the ring and pushed some buttons. "IDAASA, YOUR MOM IS A SLUT! LOVE, BOB!". Idaasa was so enraged that he beat the living crap out of Bob. Bob fell out of the ring saying "what did I do?". Yamucha and Upa were up next. Upa and Yamucha waved to people they knew in the audience. Yamucha soon overpowered Upa with his Rouga Fufu Ken. Killa and Ranfan were up next. Trunks, making sure not to be seen, threw in a pair of stolen panties; Killa went for them and was then kicked out of the ring. Tao Pai-Pai and Namu entered the ring; the former assassin defeated Namu easily. Buu defeated his opponent with a breath...literally.

Trunks and Goten went to sit in the grandstands. Since they did nothing more at the Budoukai, there is no sense in describing the events in detail. I'll summarize by saying that Mr. Satan beat Idaasa, Yamucha and Ranfan were disqualified, Buu creamed Tao Pai-Pai, then Mr. Satan beat Puntar, Buu already won the Semis by default, and then let Mister Satan win. After the tournament, Goten and Trunks decided that they would spend the night at the Son Residence. It had been a fun day indeed.
