After a few moments, Future Trunks and Bulma had explained the situation fully to Goten and Kid Trunks and explained to Gohan who the two were boys were.
"Wait, so Trunks is the son of Bulma and Vegeta!?" Gohan asked in surprised. Hearing that Vegeta actually had a son just surprised him, last he remembered of the Saiyan Prince, he was just an arrogant fighter who cared only about his own strength.
Future Trunks nodded, "Yeah, and this kid is the current timeline version of me, so say hello to Trunks, both myself and him."
Gohan looked over to Kid Trunks, who just waved. "Sup?"
"So this is the kid version of you huh?" Gohan asked, looking over Kid Trunks. "Must be weird for you to see yourself as an adult."
"At first yeah, but he's kinda like a big brother now," Kid Trunks said, looking to his future counterpart.
"Speaking of brothers, I had no idea my mom and dad would have another baby," Gohan said and turned to Goten. "So I guess I'm your older brother."
"Yeah, you are, even if you're about the same age as me," Goten said.
Future Trunks groaned, "This is why you two shouldn't have been near the Time Machine, now this Gohan is stuck in this timeline."
"So just take him back," Kid Trunk nonchalantly pointed out.
"I can't take him back Trunks, you and Goten messed up the time machine, plus there's no fuel right now anyway," Future Trunks complained.
"Well you shouldn't have left that out in the open and raised our curiosity," Kid Trunks said.
Future Trunks just stood there mouth agape, "Are...are you seriously trying to blame me for this!?"
"Yeah, next time put your stuff away," Kid Trunks said with a snarky attitude.
Future Trunks looked to be in shock, he was tempted to hit the younger version of himself with his strongest Heat Dome attack just to teach him a lesson. Or better yet, the tricks his father had taught him recently, good chance to practice the Final Flash.
Bulma however stepped in and stood in front of Kid Trunks, "That's enough out of you, that's no way to speak to your older self, apologize right now."
"But mom it's true, he needs to take care of the time machine, I mean didn't it get destroyed twice?" Kid Trunks pointed out.
"That's no reason for you to be messing with it, suppose he could never return home!?" Bulma asked.
"So? That future probably sucks, he's better off just living here," Kid Trunks said. "Besides, I like having him around, he's fun to annoy."
Future Trunks face palmed, "I give myself such a headache."
"Just apologize or you we won't be going on another family vacation anytime soon..." Bulma warned.
Kid Trunks crossed his arms in a pout, but he did have to admit, what he did a moment ago was kinda stupid, he should know better after all. "Sorry mom, and I'm really sorry Big Me. I just envy that you do this cool stuff, so I wanted to try."
"That's fine that you're curious, but please don't do that again, I don't want you stuck somewhere in time that we can't reach you. If I hadn't latched onto the time machine in the last second, you might have been stuck in that timeline for good," Future Trunks said.
Kid Trunks nodded, "Good point..."
"Anyway Trunks, because of what you did, there will be no dessert for a week for your actions," Bulma said.
"Aw come on! I only brought Gohan back! It's not like I got another dad or another Goku!" Kid Trunks said.
"Or one of the androids," Goten said.
"Don't argue with me young man," Bulma said.
Trunks sighed angrily, but figured he had this coming. He's just glad that Vegeta wasn't the one handling the punishment.
Goten watched his pout, then looked to Bulma. "What about me?"
"You stay there, I'm gonna call your mother..." Bulma had a realization. "How do I explain to Chi Chi there's a nine year old version of her oldest son here?"
Gohan then realized something, "Hey what about the mom of my time? And dad? Think they'll miss me?"
"Don't worry, if I can I can send you back to right before you left, so nothing bad will happen," Trunks explained. "But it will be risky, if I can't do that then all the time elapsed in this world will equal the time elapsed in yours. But I'm sure me and mother can figure something out.
Gohan nodded to Future Trunks, though still had a feint worry over this.
"Anyway for now why don't you go and play with Goten and Trunks, er the younger Trunks while the Future one and I have a talk," Bulma said.
"Right, sure thing," Gohan said and turned to his new friends. "I never really played with too many kids my age, last time was with Dende, can you show me some fun games you play?"
Kid Trunks beamed a confident smile, "I'd be glad to show you some stuff."
Bulma glared slightly at her son, "Trunks, don't get into any trouble, you don't wanna add more to your punishment do you?"
"We're just gonna play some games Goten and I normaly play, don't worry so much mom," Kid Trunks assured.
Future Trunks spoke up, "We can trust that Gohan wouldn't do anything he shouldn't, if anything Gohan could help them not get into as much trouble as before."
Bulma nodded at that statement, "That's true, he could be a good influence on them," She turned to the three half saiyans. "Alright go on kids, have fun." As the three kids ran off, Bulma sat back with a sigh, "This couldn't be any weirder."
"I'll say, no telling how badly messed up the flow of time is, again," Trunks said while sitting back. "There's no way I can explain something like this to Beerus, King Kai, Supreme Kai, or even the Omni King."
"Like I said, worry about that later, besides I doubt that any of them have to know," Bulma said.
"They'll find out, the Kais have a way of knowing," Trunks said.
Bulma sat down as well, "If anything I'm sure Goku can help you through this, he can talk to the Kais. Besides you can't be blamed for this, Goten and the little Trunks shouldn't have been messing with the Time Machine."
Trunks shook his head. "But it's my machine, I'm gonna be held responsible, besides I don't have any reason for being here, I just came back to see you and the others again with Mai, so technically-"
"Technically," Bulma interrupted. "You just wanted to spend time with your family, you shouldn't be sorry for that. I'm happy to have you, so is your younger self. You heard what he said, he looks at you like a big brother, somethine he once envied Goten for having. Even Vegeta's happy to have you around, even if he doesn't like showing it. You and Mai are always welcome here."
Trunks nodded and bowed slightly, "Thank you mother. Of course I do care for the younger me, he just needs a big brother, like I one had in the Gohan of my world. I wasn't always well behaved either, you know how many times I tried sneaking off to fight the androids? You were not happy."
"Well I'm glad Gohan was there for you, I guess we all need an older sibling, I still remember the fond memories I had with your Aunt Tights," Bulma said.
"Oh yeah, I've seen pictures of Aunt Tights, too bad she's not around more often," Trunks said.
"I'm sure she'll come by soon, I know she's probably interested in seeing her time-traveling nephew," Bulma said.
"Yeah...wait isn't she friends with that Jaco guy from the Galactic Patrol...suppose he finds out about this? I don't think the Galactic Patrol will appreciate this either," Trunks said, a bit worried.
"Don't worry about Jaco, he won't do anything to upset me or Vegeta, especially Vegeta," Bulma tapped her chin. "Though I think at times he fears me more, doesn't matter. You and Mai are just fine here."
Trunks crossed his arms in relief, "Well Mai and I are happy to be here."
Bulma then had a slight grin, "So tell me Trunks, how is your relationship with Mai."
Trunks blushed at that, "Mother!"
Meanwhile the three young Half Saiyans were walking through the halls of Capsule Corp. Gohan looked around to see if anything had changed much, though from the looks of things, everything was pretty much the same.
"Hey, where are we going? I thought were were gonna play a game," Gohan said.
"We are, it's called 'How Far Can You Outrun Dad'?" Trunks said with a grin.
"Outrun Dad...?" Gohan's pupils shrank, "Isn't Vegeta your dad!? Wait what are we gonna do!?"
"Everyday around this time, dad comes out of the Gravity Room to grab some food. What the three of us are gonna do is hide in the room and when he comes back, we're toss a bunch of energy blasts at him and fly off. Whoever gets caught first loses," Trunks said.
Gohan shook his head, "I don't know, he's pretty fast in my time, I can only imagine how much stronger he's gotten, I don't think I'll be able to fly away."
"You'll be fine, just go Super Saiyan and hope you get lucky," Trunks said.
Gohan scratched his head, "Um, I can't turn Super Saiyan."
Trunks looked on in surprise, "Huh? Didn't learn it yet?"
"No, wait did you!?" Gohan asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, watch," Trunks said and powered up into Super Saiyan form with ease.
Gohan's eyes widened, his jaw dropped, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. "How!?"
"Simple, just power up," Trunks said like if this was no big deal.
Gohan turned to Goten, "Hey, can you do that as well?"
"Sure, watch," Goten said and gleefully powered up into a Super Saiyan. "Isn't this cool Little Big Brother?"
Gohan looked between the two in surprise, he thought the Super Saiyan Transformation was suppose to be difficult, knowing what his dad had to go through to become one. He doesn't know how Future Trunks did it, though considering the future he came from, he would have plenty of reason to turn.
"This...this is unreal, you're both so young," Gohan said.
"So?" Trunks said as he powered down. "The Gohan from this time said you learned when you were around this age, you should be able to.""
"If that's true I haven't learned it yet, I haven't even fought the androids," Gohan said.
"Oh that's right," Goten said as he too powered down. "Dad said Gohan learned in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and that they trained after your dad got beat up by Eighteen."
"She got lucky Goten! Stop brining that up!" Trunks shouted.
"'She'? One of the androids was a girl? Or were they both girls?" Gohan asked.
"One boy, who was Seventeen, and a girl, Eighteen. They're brother and sister, and they got lucky against my dad and the others," Trunks said a bit defensively.
"Anyway I can't turn Super Saiyan...Aside from you two I only know that my dad and the other Trunks can do it. Wait, can Vegeta transform!?" Gohan asked, a bit nervous at the idea of a Super Saiyan Vegeta.
"Yeah, my dad learned while training to fight the androids," Trunks explained.
Gohan felt extremely nervous hearing that, he does NOT wanna fight a Super Saiyan Vegeta, he would stand no chance. "So the only ones who can go Super Saiyan are you, Goten, the future you, myself apparently, dad and Vegeta?"
"Don't forget that Cabba guy your dad fought in that Tournament," Goten said.
"Oh right, forgot about him," Trunks said.
"Cabba? There's another Saiyan?" Gohan asked.
Trunks waved it off. "Sorta, it's a long story, anyway just stay close to us so when we sneak up on my dad we'll-"
"You'll what Trunks?" they heard. The nervously gulped and turned to see Vegeta standing there with a scowl on his face and a towel around his neck. "Well?"
Trunks nervously chuckled, "Hey dad, what's up?"
Goten also looked concerned, "Hey Mr. Vegeta sir...um what brings you here?"
"Besides the fact that I live here, I felt a sudden surge in energy, so I came here to make sure you two weren't doing anything foolish," Vegeta said.
Trunks groaned, he realized that turning Super Saiyan gave away their energy, allowing his dad to sense their presence sooner than he wanted. "Um...well you see dad..."
Before Trunks could explained, Vegeta had another question. "Who's that boy with you? He looks familiar."
Gohan was the most freaked out. Vegeta gave off such a huge power level compared to when he last saw him. Just how powerful has he gotten in the last ten years?
Vegeta continued to look over Gohan before coming to a realization, "You look like Kakarot's brat son Gohan when he was younger." He continued to examine him, "Your energy is similar to him as well, who exactly are you?"
"Um, I am Gohan actually, I came here in the time machine that Trunks uses," Gohan said.
Vegeta looked surprised at hearing that, "You what? What's going on?" He turned to Trunks. "Explain boy."
Trunks gulped, no getting out of this one. "You see dad, me and Goten wanted to go see when you fought the androids, so we borrowed big me's time machine and went back in time to see the fight, but we accidentally brought back this little Gohan by mistake/"
Vegeta just glared at his son for his mistake, how can he be so foolish?
"Mom already punished me by the way, just so you know," Trunks said.
Vegeta crossed his arms, "Be thankful she got to you before I did." He focused on Gohan, "What's the last thing you remember?"
"Well it was like a month before the Androids were suppose to show up I think, I was still training with dad and Mr. Piccolo," Gohan explained.
"I see, so you're not a Super Saiyan yet, and you don't know of my Transformation either," Vegeta said.
"Trunks, the one here, just told me the whole story of who's a Super Saiyan now, but pretty much yeah," Gohan said. "When did you learn to transform? And how?"
"We'll talk about that later, but for now," Vegeta yelled out, "Trunks! Bulma! Where are you!?"
In the other room, Future Trunks and Bulma cringed.
"Aw man, even father's home," Trunks said.
"Now we need to explain this to him as well," Bulma lamented.
"Think he'll take it well?" Future Trunks asked.
"I hope so, but knowing him-"
Bulma's talk was interrupted when Vegeta shouted. "Hurry up! I haven't got all day!"
"Geez hold on Vegeta, we're on our way over there!" Bulma shouted in irritation, then turned back to Trunks. "Let's just hope for the best."
Future Trunks nodded, "Right."
Back with Vegeta, he stood and waited, then he felt another similar energy make it's way over. "Looks like Kakarot is coming get some answers too." He grinned a bit, "This should be interesting."
Gohan looked surprised and sensed out for Goku's ki energy. He felt something similar, but once again, really strong. How strong has his father gotten in the last several years? What else major has changed in that time as well?
"Things are gonna take some getting used to," Gohan said quietly.
First I wanna say that I'm surprised how popular this fic has gotten already. Thanks for the support so far.
Second, I hope the whole 'Kid Trunks', 'Future Trunks' placements aren't too confusing. When they're not in the same room, either of them will just be reffered to as Trunks, but when together, then they'll get the 'Kid, Future' stuff. Same thing will happen when I bring in the Gohan of this timeline.
Third, I don't really know how Cabba's name is supposed to be spelt, I know he's also called Kyabe, but for now I'm just going for the former whenever he's brought up or appears.
