Chapter 2: "This, I've gotta see"
Vegeta stood with his arms crossed as he looked at the prone figure on the bed. "So what's wrong with him, woman?"
"It appears that the medicine he took did not completely eradicate the heart virus. And now the virus has mutated with a vengeance." Bulma ran her fingers through her disheveled hair tiredly.
"Can't you do something, woman?"
Bulma was too worried to argue with Vegeta. "I could…"
"But."
"But I need a sample of his DNA, one that is not contaminated by the virus. The virus has attacked at his molecular level, gene therapy might work…"
Vegeta paused for a moment. "What about using mine?"
Bulma looked up in surprise. "You're right. Ok, let's try."
-----
Vegeta and Mirai Trunks looked up hopefully as Bulma entered the kitchen. Bulma sank down into a chair dejectedly, shaking her head. Apparently the attempt to use Vegeta's DNA had not worked.
The three sat in silence, racking their brains. It had been two days already, and while Goku's condition had stabilized, he had not improved and remained unconscious. Chi Chi and their sons had been around everyday, but Bulma had shooed them away. She had imposed a strict quarantine just in case the virus was contagious and had only minimal, essential contact with Goku herself.
"We need a sample of Goku's DNA… How about traveling back in time?" Bulma asked her son, who was visiting from his alternate timeline. Mirai Trunks brightened. "It's definitely worth a try."
-----
(Meanwhile, in yet Another Timeline, (confusing ne?), where Vegeta is female. Very female. *grin* In front of the Sons' house.)
Vegeta pounced on her mate, purring. "So, the kids are over at Bulma's… What are we going to do?"
Goku laughed, flipping her onto her back, running his hands along her sides. Vegeta burst out laughing as she wiggled frantically to get away. The two were so occupied as they wrestled on the grass that they did not notice the appearance of a time machine above them.
Mirai Trunks stared down in shock. Am I in the wrong timeline? Check the screen, nope, correct, it's just after Cell. Hmm, the one on top certainly looks like Goku, but the woman on the bottom does NOT look like Chi Chi. In fact, she looks like … Mirai Trunk's jaw fell as his eyes bugged out.
Suddenly, Vegeta shrieked as she finally caught sight of the visitor. Both Saiyans immediately leapt up in a fighting crouch, powering up. Trunks landed his machine and got out slowly, his hands held out defensively. "Wait! Don't do anything! I can explain!"
After Trunks related his mission, the Saiyan pair calmed down. "So you just need a sample of my DNA?" Goku asked.
"Baka! You don't just go around giving your DNA sample to strangers!" Vegeta cuffed her mate.
"I'm not a stranger…er, I should have been your son. That is if you were male and had gotten together with Bulma… You can come back with me to check it out!" Trunks was fascinated, to say the least. A female Vegeta?? Vegeta and Goku?? He tried to imagine his dad with Goku… Ack! Image!
"Oh yeah, remember when I came back from Yardrat? There was this lavender- haired Super Saiyan who killed Frieza and King Kold? He then warned us about the androids and gave me the medicine?" Goku's face brightened. Vegeta nodded but was still suspicious.
Trunks blinked. "Oh yeah! I remember now. I got into the wrong timeline." He nodded vigorously. "I'm really your son! Sort of…" To demonstrate, he powered up into SSJ.
"C'mon 'Geta!"
Vegeta paused for a while. "Ok, but I'm coming with you." Trunks was about to protest when he was suddenly filled with the desire to see the others' reaction to a female Vegeta. Especially his father's. Grinning, he indicated his machine with a flourish. "Whenever you're ready. My chariot awaits."
"Wait, we have to tell Bulma first. We left the kids there."
"Kids?" Trunks was getting more and more interested.
"Yeah, Gohan and the twins."
"Twins?? This, I've gotta see."
-----
Mirai Trunks stared at in amazement at the chibis. "Wow! Radin looks just like my dad! Koch looks just like Goku… And is that me??" His head swiveled to the purple haired toddler in Bulma's arms. Bulma grinned and offered her baby to the lavender-haired teen. "Trunks! Meet Trunks!"
"Who's his dad?" Mirai Trunks picked up Chibi Trunks.
"Yamcha."
"Oh wow, this is amazing. Did you know, in my timeline, you dumped Yamcha for Vegeta, mom?" Trunks babbled. The other three adults laughed hilariously.
Bulma made playful kissing motions at the pretty oujo. "Oh, Vegeta!" She swooned into the petite oujo's arms.
Vegeta leered back, growling in a deep voice. "Onna..."
Mirai Trunks and Goku collapsed in helpless laughter.
A small problem arose when the parents explained to their sons why they had to stay with Bulma for the night.
"NO! We wanna go too!!" Radin screamed, clinging onto his mother's leg. Koch threw a temper tantrum as well, clinging onto her other leg, as Vegeta snarled, trying to pry the twins off. Gohan blinked, then smirked. Taking his cue from his brothers, he latched onto his father's waist. "DAADD!!" When Goku tried to pull Gohan off, Gohan powered up to SSJ.
"Why can't we go??" Radin wailed.
"What if you never come back??" Koch cried.
Vegeta and Goku threw up their hands in frustration. "Alright, alright, you can go!" "Now get off me already!"
Immediately, the waterworks stopped as the three Sons brothers held up a 'v' sign.
