Trunks Briefs was the son of the late prince Vegeta. He never really had a father. As a result, he never knew how having a father felt, how losing one felt, or how getting another felt. So when Bulma told him that she was on a online dating service, he didn't know how to respond.

He decided not to dwell on it much and decided to return to Guardos with the others.

"Kikoukenjutsu," said Tapion to Trunks, " is the art of elements. The elements are fire, electricity, water, and earth. The element you control is the one that fits your personality. I can see the fire in your eyes Trunks. It is time for you to learn the burning slash." Basically, in the Burning Slash, the sword caught fire. "In order to do it, you must be one with the sword in spirit and body. This will allow you to channel your energy into the sword." Trunks closed his eyes and focused. He felt his heart beat loudly. Then his hands started to tingle, and the sword caught fire.

While Trunks learned about the Burning Slash, Goten learned the Lightning Kick.

A week later, it was time for Trunks to meet Bulma's new boyfriend. His name was Igniront. The doorbell rang and Trunks opened the door to see a man with red hair and a tux with slacks there. He wore glasses over his eyes. "Who are you kid?" Trunks rose an eyebrow. "I'm Trunks, Bulma's son." The man frowned. Bulma came down the stairs. "Alright, I'll be back later Trunks. Tell your friends not to get to crazy."

Ignir and Bulma went out for a few weeks. Ignir didn't appear to be very nice to Trunks, but he had his own things to worry about.

Goten wanted to tell his brother about what was happening and show him Guardos. "What if he goes crazy? What if he burns the book?" "Why," said Goten, "would he burn the book? That's a worse case scenario." After a huge argument, they decided to tell Gohan. After seeing Guardos and knowing they were telling the truth, he told them to call him in case off emergency.

Gohan gave a calmer reaction then how Trunks expected, or at least a calmer reaction than Bulma gave. Thing was, what Bulma really freaked out about was Rosalina, and she made an offer Trunks had to refuse.

"MOM! I'm not letting you NEUTER me!"

"Why not?!"

"For one, it would hurt in the worst possible place!"

"They spay you, then they fix you, and then it's over! It's always the fear of the pain that's worse than the pain itself!"

"Well two..." Trunks flushed with embarrassment.

"It will be just as enjoyable!"

"Well, I want to have kids, and also, you're trying to spay me before you spay Mr. Pantis!" Mr. Pantis was the name of their cat. "If you want, I'll go to some child psychologist or sexual guidance counselor. Just, don't have me 'fixed'! JESUS CHRISTIAN CHRIST!"

Meanwhile

"Oh how good it feels to be back!" The evil Genoshin Demigra laughed. "How much time has passed since I was sealed away?" His servant sat beside him. "About !,000,000,000 years, my lord." "Hmmm," said Demigra, "that long eh? Well, looks like we're back to square one. Summon the dragon!"

The next day...

Trunks and Bulma went to see Undishot's Parent-Child counseling, in which Undishot would talk to Trunks and then Bulma.

"So Trunks," said Undishot, "why do you like martial arts?" "Well," said Trunks, "I feel like I connect with my friends the most when we are comparing our strengths and weaknesses, and I feel like I'm making new friends when I do so with other people."

"Who would you consider your best friend?"

"Goten," Trunks said almost immediately.

Undishot rose an eyebrow. Trunks had said Goten quickly, and he had no idea who Goten was or if Goten was a boy or a girl. Either way, he felt he should look into it. "This Goten, are they a boy or a girl?"

"A boy."

A boy. That meant that if something was happening, it was really serious. "Trunks, do you know what sexual intercourse is?"

Trunks's face went red. "Y-Yes."

"So you know that here is no gender based factor in it, and what homosexuality is?"

"Yes."

"So have you ever done anything sexual with a girl?"

"I've never even hugged with a girl."

"What about with a boy, have you ever had anything happen with a a boy, like Goten for example."

"No."

"Do you ever look at girls in this type of way, the sexual way?"

Trunks's face turned red again.

"You seem nervous, so I will ask a different question. What about boys, like Goten?"

"No."

"So you must look at girls in this way or you are lying to me, such things happen at your age. It's alright to tell me. When I was your age I looked at certain... images on the internet that most woman would find disrespectful. So, do girls ever look at Goten in this type of way?"

"One girl, Marron. She's pretty much obsessed."

"How do you feel about this?"

"It's a bit of a pet peeve."

"Okay, I'll ask again. Do you look at girls or boys in this way, and note, both is an okay answer."

Trunks stuttered before answering. "Girls."

"Any girl in particular?"

"Rosalina. Goten and I have said some... things about her."

"Why do you like Rose?"

"Well, she's pretty, smart, we both like to fight."

"Yes, fighting, let's get back to that. You like fighting because it helps you connect to your friends. Do you feel like you couldn't connect to your friends otherwise?"

Trunks couldn't answer.

After Trunks session, Undishot scheduled Bulma's for the next day.

The next day, Trunks was summoned to Guardos.

"Namek is in trouble!"

"What can we do about it? My mom told me about Namek, and it's far, FAR away!"

"The book," said Tapion, "has the ability to take you anywhere. Just put your hands on the cover and say 'Namek' and it should take you there." They did as told., and in a flash of white light, they were brought to the planet. They saw a medium sized group of orc like creatures, and that they had a fight on their hands.
