Hello! And TamyTheAnimeLover is back with a new installment of Little Kid, Big Problem! Now I have said in my summary that this IS a yaoi fanfic! So if you don't like it please don't read thank you! I know this story must suck. It's my first try at an actual multi-chapter story! I thank my readers who bear with me enough to keep watch on this story so now on to the actual story.
Goku opened his eyes and sat up on his bed. He raised his arms above his head and stretched. Good, Good. He didn't have any more dreams. He smiled. It was just a side affect! He knew he shouldn't have thought much of it.
The small full-bloodied saiyan jumped off of the bed and he felt cold. Goku's left eye twitched. Ok, this was getting real annoying. Not having enough ki to even warm himself when even a small patch of his skin was revealed.
Goku looked around the room. Last night he didn't think of searching the room for extra clothes. He was dead-beat tired and his dream had been distracting also. He paced around the room. He saw a dresser and went over to it. But when he opened it up, there was nothing.
He mentally groaned. Not even a towel. He started pacing again out of frustration. What should he do now? He took a glance at the digital clock placed conveniently on a desk next to the king sized bed. 7:27 am, Vegeta should be awake. He must be raiding the fridge by now, Goku suddenly stopped. Vegeta better had saved some food for him!
After pacing around again for a couple of seconds, Goku stopped again but this time…
"I NEED TO GO USE THE BATHROOM!" Goku screamed out, brought his hands down to cover his still naked crotch and practically jumped into the bathroom.
Once he ran into the bathroom he stopped. Eyes were slowly widening. Mouth falling. He, Son Goku, was faced with the horrors of all horrors. "Oh dear Dende Whyyyy?"
The toilet was at least 6 inches above his waistline. His left eye twitched as realization fell upon him.
During Capsule Corp. construction some idiot managed to get the measurements for the toilet wrong. So that it would be too high for children of his age to use. Of course that didn't prove to be much of a problem until Trunks came, then they had to lower the toilet in Trunk's room and the one downstairs in the hallway to the proper height.
Goku twitched again realizing Bulma saw no need to make the same corrections for the other toilets. He tried to jump up to the toilet's height but could not reach. So out of pure desperation…

Vegeta was downstairs sitting at the dinning table, stuffing his face with a couple of biscuits. Then chugging down a whole gallon of milk. Out of habit he stared around to see if anyone was looking. People always questioned how an adult man could still drink whole milk, rather than lattes and coffee. He was halfway of gulping down another gallon of milk until…
"VEGETAAAAAAAA!"
The prince in surprise immediately spat out his milk, doing a perfect spit-take. He wiped the milk from his face with his gloved hands.
"WHAT THE HELL IS IT KAKAROT?" He screamed back in the same tone.
"VEGETA! TOILET! TOO LOW!" Goku screamed out trying to get Vegeta to understand what the problem was before his bladder exploded.
Vegeta smirked, obviously amused. Ah yes, Bulma had told him about that problem, or rather went around the house mumbling, "stupid fucking contractors."
"NO WAY IN HECK KAKAROT!" He knew he was being mean to the small child, but not being able to see Goku's face he was just imagining he was dealing with full size Goku. Ah, now there was less guilt.
(-)
"ARGH VEGETA!" Goku quickly looked around to see anything he can have his release in. (A.N I'm having so much fun writing this.)
Goku jumped up and down and saw his answer. The bathtub. How could he not see it before? Oh yeah because he DESPERATLY NEEDED TO PEE. Goku ran up to the bathtub, jumped on the ledge and let go.
"Ahhhhhhhhh." Goku smiled contently.
When he was done, Goku turned on the water for the bathtub and washed the substance away.
Goku growled. Vegeta was going to pay. And he was going to pay dearly. Goku grinned. He looked around the bathroom and saw a towel hanging from a rack and wrapped it around his small waist. Goku flinched. There was a towel in HERE but now in the bedroom. He excited his room and headed down the stairs.
(-)
Downstairs Vegeta was done with his breakfast and was cleaning up the humongous mess he made in the kitchen. He was washing the dishes.
"Vegetaaaaa!" A voice called down from the stairs.
Vegeta looked up from his dishes and raised an eyebrow, that voice sounded too happy for the owner's own good.
"What Kakarot?"
Goku came down the stairs and into the kitchen with only a towel wrapped around his waist and a sweet smile on his face. Vegeta raised an eyebrow, trying to act suspicious rather than blushing.
"Aniki!"
Vegeta outwardly growled. Kakarot was playing the Aniki card. He was up to something.
"Again, WHAT?" He asked with a little annoyance in his voice.
Goku gave a ghost of a smirk before jumping at Vegeta, making him quickly put down his dishes and grab Goku by instinct. Goku nuzzled Vegeta's cheek, now playing the innocent little brother card.
"Aniki, you said yesterday that I would be able to see Chi-Chi and you would get me some new clothes!" Goku said happily.
Vegeta pushed the nuzzling Goku away and put him on the floor. Then scoffed. "Kakarot, we're buying clothes first, or would you rather walk around with a towel on your waist all day?" Vegeta smirked.
Goku pouted. "You're mean, Vegeta! Fine, can you take me clothes shopping?" He smiled sweetly again.
Vegeta was starting to get pissed at Goku's innocent act. "Tsk, I already said I would didn't I." It was more of a statement than a question.
Goku cheered and then jumped up to Vegeta again and positioned himself to sit around Vegeta's shoulders. His towel was falling a bit.
By the word of Dende, he swore he saw Vegeta blush.
"Vegeeeetaaa?"
"Go to Trunks, Now."
"Eh? Why?"
He received a growl in return and a very gruff response of. "He might have some clothes you can wear for now."
Goku shivered by the response of Vegeta's voice but took the hint and jumped off his shoulders only to adjust his towel and trample back up the stairs. Vegeta waited until he couldn't hear any more footsteps and he threw a dish down to the floor; which broke on contact and snarled.
"Damn you Kakarot…"
(-)
Music boomed throughout the not-so-particularly small room of Trunks. The demi saiyan bobbed his head back and forth to the wild beat of the music. But he didn't notice a pair of chocolate eyes watching him from the doorway.
"Um…"
Trunks paid no attention, too lost in the sounds coming from the boom box on his desk.
"Eh… Trunks?" The voice tried calling a little louder.
His eyes snapped open. He himself didn't even know he had them closed. At the doorway stood a small figure with wild hair. If Trunks knew better he would've thought it was Goten, but Goten was never shy about entering his room.
"Oh, hi Goku." Somewhat perplexed on why the former warrior was in his room.
"Um hi Trunks… err… do you have any clothes I can borrow?"
"Oh sure Goku, here I'll get some out of my closet."
"Thanks."
"No, Problem." Trunks walked into his closet and came back about 5 minutes later with a plain white t-shirt and blue jeans. Goku noticed that Trunks preferred plain clothes to wear when he's not in his training gi.
Which was odd, since he did have a mom who now owns a multi-millionaire company so why doesn't he want to wear extravagant clothing and eat… delicious… food… delectable meats and delicacies…
Goku shook his head to snap out of trance like state he was in. He felt a wet trail of drool slide down the corner of his mouth down to his chin.
"Uhhhhh." Trunks said.
Now it was Trunks turn to be confused. He had a raised eyebrow at Goku's weird behavior. The small saiyan immediately flushed scarlet, brought his hand up to his chin and wiped furiously.
"Eheh sorry! I kind of spaced out…" Goku added with a hand scratching the back of his head, Son fashion.
"That's alright… here," he handed Goku the clothes. "Don't ruin them too quickly." He gave a smile.
Goku grinned sheepishly, then muttered his thanks and went back to his room to change.
Trunks raised an eyebrow and smirked confidently. Vegeta may have grounded him but he just can't lie around and do nothing, he needed to get into mischief. Trunks hid his power level, opened his window and jumped out.
He was going to see Goten. There was something up with his dad, and he knew it. Even from his bedroom he felt Vegeta's ki flare up when Goku entered the kitchen. This technique was new to him but he could use it well enough.
Trunks began a sprint to the Son house. At his speed he will get there in about… five hours. He stopped mid track then slapped his hand to his face. Dang it! By then all the action will be over! So…what should I do? Maybe if I let a LITTLE of my power leak out…
Trunks finally gave a groan of defeat and let all his power loose. Flying at full speed into the thick woods, where he knew he would find his best friend. He figured he can deal with his dad later.
(-)
Goten entered his house with at least 15 shopping bags full of food slung over his small shoulder. He just came back from shopping since his dad was supposedly at Capsule Corp. Where else could he be?
He looked around the house and put the food in the kitchen. He then walked to the couch and plopped down letting out a sigh. He was bored and his dad had yet to tell him what he was planning between him and Vegeta.
Goten shifted his position so he was full on laying on the couch his face staring at the ceiling and one arm dangling from the side. He closed his eyes to try to sleep off the rest of the day, since that's what his mom is currently doing. With barely anyone home, what's the point of cleaning?
After a few more seconds of lying, his eyes snapped open. He felt a familiar ki coming straight for his house. Goten snapped up from the couch only to face plant himself on the floor. He groaned and then tried again. Hopping up and running to the window.
Goten looked out. Twisting his head at every possible angle to try to see what was coming his way. Making not so human noises while being able to twist and bend his head in not so human ways.
He finally spotted a dot in the distance. "Uwaaaah?"
A crash was hear outside and Goten immediately threw open the door to find the cause of the noise. His face turned from confused to pure joy when he saw whom it was.
There was Gohan, face in the mud with his rear sticking up in the air. Gohan pulled his head out of the dirt and gasped deeply. The mud was cutting up his air supply. "Whoo! It's- been a while since- I've flown!" He gasped out.
Gohan barely had enough time to stand up before Goten ran up to him and tackled him to the ground.
"Nii-san!" Goten cried out, jumping up and down on his brother's chest.
"Oof! Hey squirt!" Gohan grinned ruffling his little brother's hair.
Goten looked up at his brother with a questioning look. He tilted his head to the side because he couldn't do the eyebrow stuff like Trunks and Vegeta could.
The elder gave a laugh. "Eh I just wanted to visit you and mom. I already asked Videl about it, she said it was fine so here I am for a week!"
Goten grinned and nodded happily.
"Alright squirt how about we go inside so I can wash this mud off?"
"Ok!" Goten chirped as he dragged his older brother inside.
Inside, Gohan went to the sink, got a towel soaked in water and wiped his face off. Then he did the same thing with his clothes, dabbing spots here and there. He looked at his clothes and concluded they looked acceptable.
"Hey Goten can I ask you something?" Gohan asked as he leaned on the counter.
Goten had a bad feeling. "Um, yeah Gohan?"
"Do you know where Dad is? I can't sense his ki at all," Gohan had a questioning look plastered on his face. "He has no reason to hide it from us does he?"
Goten's blood ran cold. Oh no! What do I tell him? Should I lie? Or should I tell him… He has the right to know… it's not like he's going to tell or anything…Goten decided he should tell his big brother about the incident with the Dragon Balls and the current situation… until…
He felt another familiar energy. This one he knew very well. Goten inwardly sighed. Saved! Trunks could explain it.
Gohan was looking at his younger brother, brows furrowed in confusion. Waiting for him to say his answer.
"Trunks!" Goten suddenly blurted out.
Gohan looked even more baffled for a nanosecond, until he could sense Trunks ki.
"Yeah but Goten-" Gohan managed to blurt out before Goten speed out the door.
When Goten reached his front lawn he looked up in the sky. There he was; it was Trunks waving at him with a smirk on his face. Goten sighed.
They were both on watch by Vegeta. Of course Vegeta didn't have to say it but if they got into any trouble… Goten groaned. They would have heck to pay. And right now it looks like Trunks WANTS to get into trouble.
As Trunks landed in front of Goten he ruffled Goten's head. "Yo, Goten."
"Alright Trunks what do you have in mind?" Goten sighed.
Trunks grinned. Goten knew him so well.
"I think your Dad's going somewhere with my Dad," Trunks began, his grin turning into a full-grown smirk. "Let's follow them."
"Eh? Follow them? But Trunks! Do you know how much trouble we'll be in if we get caught?" Goten tried to persuade his best friend. If Goten was the voice of reason, this was serious.
"IF we get got caught."
Goten was about to retort when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around and was met with a still confused and slightly annoyed Gohan.
"Goten," Gohan sighed. "What's going on?"
Trunks looked at Gohan. "Oh hi Gohan-san."
"Umm Gohan I can explain it to you right now." Goten stuttered then gave his companion a desperate look.
Gohan saw this and looked at Trunks. "Guys I just want to know what's going on with my Dad."
"Well you see Gohan-san," Trunks began with a smirk. "It's like this."
(-)
Vegeta impatiently stomped up the stairs, emphasizing every single stomp to let out his annoyance. He stopped in front of the guest room he knew Goku was in and banged loudly on the door.
"Kakarot! Hurry up will you? We don't have all day!" Vegeta yelled through the not so thick door.
Inside Goku was on the bed; his elbows on his thighs and his hands were balled in fist under his chin. He heard Vegeta's voice but decided to ignore it for now. He needed to know what to do for his revenge.
Of course he's trying to get CLOSER to Vegeta but even Vegeta deserves payback once in a while too. He stood up quickly; an idea popped up in his head. This one all he needed to do was play the innocent little brother card. He grinned.
He crept to the door and slowly opened it. He forced a blush on his face and looked up at the prince.
"Sorry Vegeta Nii-san I'm slow at getting dressed." One of his balled hands was at the start of his neck, the other resting on his chest, creating the perfect image of an innocent child.
Thump Thump came from the other's chest.
Vegeta's breath hitched in his throat and he looked at the small child. Goku looked so… so… cute! What the fuck? CUTE? I didn't even know the cursed word was in my vocabulary! Kakarot cute- HAH!
Goku was looking at the elder, a ghost of a smirk playing on his lips; making sure Vegeta didn't catch it. His act was working he could tell. Whoever said Son Goku couldn't be mischievous?
"Let's just go Kakarot." Vegeta hissed out.
With that, Vegeta stomped away obviously more pissed. Goku giggled and followed Vegeta down the steps and out the door.
(-)
"YOU DID WHAT?" Gohan exclaimed as he stared at the younger demi saiyans.
"Gohan-san we didn't intend it to happen that way." Trunks calmly explained.
"Yes! But that doesn't change what you did!" Gohan suddenly went pale.
"Big brother? What's wrong?" Goten looked worriedly at his older brother.
Gohan turned to look at Goten his eyes widening with every second. "Goten, Trunks did you say he was with Vegeta?"
"Um yeah why?" Trunks tilted his head.
"WHAT? WHY? Well he's with Vegeta! In kid form! Are you not afraid if Vegeta's going to murder him or not?" Gohan exclaimed throwing his hands up in the air for extra affect.
"Not at all." Trunks confirmed with a smirk on his face.
Gohan stopped and stared at trunks. "Eh?"
"Dad," his smirk grew wider. "Has a soft spot for Mr. Goku."
Gohan continued staring, looking much like a brain-dead teenager, which was something, he was not.
"Yeah Nii-san when he's around Dad he just acts all weird and stuff and he always acts nicer to us."
"That's because my Dad likes your Dad." Trunks commented.
"L-Like?" Gohan stuttered.
"Yeah, Gohan-san I thought you were smart, it's really obvious."
"Trunks… remember he wasn't here when it all happened…" Goten tried to reason.
"Well then, Gohan-san just needs to see for himself."
"Wait… you don't mean… awww no Trunks!" Goten groaned, Trunks was not giving up.
Gohan shook his head and looked at Trunks. "You mean?"
Trunks smiled. "Yep! You can come with us to see what our fathers are doing."
The eldest made an uncertain face. "I'm not so sure… I think I agree with Goten on this."
"You guys are no fun, c'mon aren't you curious? In the least bit?" Trunks asked, still trying.
"Well I am curious…" Gohan pondered. "Ok I'll go." Trunks cheered and pumped his fist in the air. "But only because I want to see what's going on!" Gohan reaffirmed.
Goten let out a tired sigh. "If Gohan is going I guess I'll go…"
"Alright! Let's go then…" He trailed off.
"What is it Trunks?" Gohan asked.
"Our ki," Trunks explained. "Vegeta would be able to sense it."
"We could take Bulma's helicopter, I'm sure she won't mind since she taught Trunks how to use it." Goten suggested.
Trunks grinned. "That's a GREAT idea! Let's just hurry up and fly quickly back to Capsule Corp. and then conceal our energy when I pilot the helicopter."
"Sounds good to me." Gohan shrugged.
The three blasted off into the sky and headed to Capsule Corp.
(-)
Vegeta snarled, as he turned around in mid-flight, almost dropping the small child he was holding.
Goku squealed and looked at his companion. "What is it Vegeta?"
"Your brats and my brat are going to Capsule Corp." Vegeta narrowed his eyes.
"Huh? Gohan too?" Goku guessed since Vegeta used "brats" instead of the usual "brat".
He received a curt nod in response. "What the hell are they up to?" Vegeta shook his head and turned around, continuing to go to their destination. "No matter I will deal with them later."
Goku chuckled. Vegeta would always be Vegeta. He went over his plan one last time before he saw the mall come in sight.
As Vegeta touched down in the parking lot for the mall, Goku jumped onto Vegeta's head, sitting on his shoulders. Vegeta walked to the mall entrance growling at the people who were pointing at him and screaming. He couldn't blame them much. It's not everyday a human being gets to see a person flying.
"Kakarot get off of my head." Vegeta directed his growl towards Goku.
"No Nii-san I like the view up here!" Goku giggled, deciding now was the time for his plan to start. Which was: act super innocent and cute and make Vegeta embarrassed in public. It might sound lame, but he has the perfect scenario for it.
Vegeta's growled turned louder as a few teenage girls who passed by them giggled and made "awing" sounds.
This is why Vegeta HATED the mall. The stupid females of the planet always came up to him asking if his muscles "were real" and poking his chest and commenting how strong he looked.
Other times they would just stare at him and ask if he was married. As soon as he said, "Used to be" they would smile or wink and give him their number, which he would burn up with a ki ball later.
As if on cue a woman in her mid-twenties came over and smiled brightly at Vegeta. Hmph Kakarot's smile looks better. He blushed immediately when he had the thought. The woman thought he blushed for her and grinned.
"Hello there." She chirped.
Vegeta rolled his eyes, blush now gone.
Unaffected by Vegeta's nonchalance she continued.
"Name's Susan, yours?" She smiled again and whipped her probably not natural blonde hair.
Vegeta looked at her and sneered. "None of your business woman."
Goku suddenly popped up from behind Vegeta's head. "Hello miss! Who are you?" Goku asked cutely.
Susan turned to Goku and frowned. "Shush up brat or I'll shush you up myself, I'm doing something." She threatened and then turned back to Vegeta with a smile plastered back on her face.
Goku sniffled and his shoulders sunk. Vegeta took note and took a step threateningly at the woman. Instincts suddenly taking charge.
"Ooo going a little fast are we?" Susan chirped.
"Listen here woman!" Vegeta practically yelled in her face.
Susan turned a little pale and gulped.
"If you know what's good for you," He held up a fist. "You better leave, NOW."
The blonde haired woman shivered and ran away fearing for her life. Vegeta felt Goku brighten up and hug him around his neck. "Thanks Nii-san."
Vegeta grunted his response. Why did he get so defensive? Over Goku? I need to get checked out by a doctor…
Goku leaned against Vegeta's head unconsciously. When he got threatened he actually got scared. He never got scared. But as soon as Vegeta took the first step towards the woman he knew he would be fine.
Goku was seriously confused. He almost felt bad for what he was about to do, ALMOST.
(-)
"Incoming!" Trunks yelled out the open door to civilians walking on the mall parking lot.
"Trunks! Not so roughly!" Gohan yelled holding on to his little brother for dear life.
"I don't care Gohan-san! We're already so behind! They must be halfway done with shopping by now!" Trunks yelled back.
10 minutes earlier Trunks announced that he sensed his father's and Goku's energy at the nearest mall and immediately speed as quickly as one could when piloting a helicopter to said mall.
Now, he was terrorizing the poor innocent people who happen to be in the helicopter's path.
Screams and shouts could be heard from below as the humans scrambled like ants running away from the approaching threat.
CRASH!
Trunks, Goten and Gohan jumped out of the helicopter. Goten, falling to the ground kissing it. Gohan ended up falling to the ground and lying there for a few minutes. Then, he convinced his body to stand up and pull Goten along with him.
As Gohan looked to find Trunks, he found him staring at the Capsule Corp. helicopter, which has landed on 3 cars. Trunks had his hands on his hips and turned to the crowd surrounding them.
"Alright," He began. "Whose cars are these? Raise your hands." Trunks pointed a thumb at the 3 smashed cars behind him.
Two men in the crowd meekly raised their hands and one woman. They were stunned to see a small child piloting a helicopter.
Trunks reached into his pocket and pulled out three humongous stacks of cash. You would've have to count it at least 30 times before finally deciding on the correct amount it was.
The lavender haired boy walked up to the first man, gave him the money and did the same with the other man and woman. "That should cover the damage." He then began to walk to the mall's entrance.
Trunks looked back at the men and woman staring with mouths agape at the money and then the boy.
He smirked. "Keep the change."
Even Gohan and Goten had to stare wide-eyed at their enormously rich friend.
"Trunks?" Goten asked.
"Hm?" Was the reply.
"D-Do you always carry that much cash around with you?" He asked holding up a shaking finger at Trunks.
Trunks raised an eyebrow. "That?" He scoffed. "That's just my allowance for the month." He laughed and continued his walk into the mall.
Gohan looked blankly at the small boy who had much, much more money then he did and followed him into the mall. Goten followed with the same expression.
(-)
Goku ran into the small shop looking around as if he were in a candy store. Vegeta just watched highly amused.
"Nii-san! There are gi's everywhere!" Goku exclaimed looking around and tugging at different ones.
He ran to the different areas of the store and looked at the colorful fighting outfits. Vegeta went to this mall because he usually came here to buy his spandex suits.
Vegeta went to the "kids" section of the store. Picked out a random gi that looked like Goku's size and walked up to the small child.
"Come on Kakarot let's get you in this fucking thing to see if it fits." Vegeta reached out his hands to grab Goku to bring him into the dressing room so he could probably wrestle Goku in the gi.
But at that moment Goku suddenly gave out a blood-curling scream that made Vegeta instantly pull back his hands and bring them up to cup his poor ears.
What made the elder saiyan more confused is that Goku ran into a nearby dressing room and locked the door.
Vegeta looked around to only find men and woman staring at him with wide eyes, some of the woman holding their children close to them; the father of the children stepped in front of their wife's defensively.
The prince gave a horrified look and shook his head form left to right quickly and then ran to the dressing room Goku was in and knocked loudly.
"Kakarot!" He hissed. "Let me in! The humans think I'm a rapist!" he whispered so only Goku could hear.
And that's what I want them to think. Goku snickered. Revenge was sweet. He pressed his back against the door.
Vegeta looked around at the horrified humans; who clearly had taken the whole situation the wrong way. He knew he had to clear this all up. So he took a deep breath and…
"Kakarot… come out! N-n-" Vegeta stammered with the word. "N-Nii-san is right here!"
As soon as Goku heard Vegeta, his eyes widened and his mouth couldn't help turning into a big grin, and he also couldn't help but unlocking the door and jumping into the prince's arms. The elder just looked stunned, plain stunned.
Goku turned to the crowd of people and pulled the most innocent face anyone child could muster. He jumped onto Vegeta's shoulders and waved at the crowd of people.
"I'm sorry misses and misters! I saw something scary and it freaked me out, but Nii-san made it al better!" He then plopped down back on the floor.
The crowd of people seemed to stare a little longer until all the females ran up to mini Goku.
"He's so adorable!" One woman gushed.
"How old are you dear?" Another one asked.
Goku held up 8 fingers and stared at the women with innocent wide eyes. That did it. All the females went into a choir of "awwws!"
Vegeta and the males in the store looked at the females with a blank face. Vegeta ripped off the security tag on the gi for Goku, threw it somewhere, put the gi in his shirt, picked Goku up and walked out of the store. Doing all of these with a blank face.
(-)
Gohan watched in amazement, as Vegeta carried his father out of the store. The gang of 3 was hiding behind a couple of potted trees and bushes. Slowly Gohan turned his head to face the brain of the operation.
Trunks looked up from picking his nails and stared at the older. "Well?"
"V-Vegeta- he- called himself Dad's Nii-san!" Gohan sputtered out. "He-He carried him, CARRIED HIM out of the store! And you don't find this weird at all?" Gohan by now was almost screaming. It was just too weird for him. Dende please help him.
"Not at all," Trunks mused. "See my Dad likes your Dad simply as that." Trunks stated before going back to picking his fingernails, giving the impression he was bored but he was actually enjoying watching the older saiyan freak out.
"Gohan, calm down it's not too weird!" Goten tried to soothe his sibling. "I mean Dad's pulling a innocent act, anyone could easily fall for it!"
"No, no no! This is different! This is Ve-geta!" Gohan emphasized Vegeta's name for extra effect. "The saiyan who is always the following," Gohan started. "Indifferent, a huge pain in the ass, self absorbed, emotionless and many, many more I can not even list."
"Gohan-san, I don't know why it's so hard for you to believe but I'm going to continue following them, just for my entertainment." Trunks stated as he stood up and followed the direction his father headed.
Gohan stopped and stared at the young demi saiyan's retreating form. "Goten." he blinked once, twice.
Goten looked up from the floor which he had suddenly had found interesting and looked at his brother. "Yeah?"
"Trunks is looking and acting more like Vegeta every single day." He shuddered. "It's kind of creepy, he just said "for my entertainment", he actually gets a kick out of this?"
"Yeah well," Goten shrugged. "The apple does not fall far from the tree."
The elder demi saiyan chuckled. "You got that right," He sighed. "Let's just follow him before he gets bored and takes the helicopter and leaves us to deal with "Your Highness". Gohan said sarcastically.
Goten let out a small chuckle and followed the way Trunks headed, Gohan following close behind.

Goku was comfortably relaxing on the top of Vegeta's head. Which he decided is now his favorite place to be while in this form. His eyes were closed and his faced looked like it was going to stay into a permanent grin.
He might have gone too far with the whole incident in the store earlier. Hey Vegeta's been insulting me for years he deserves it! He reassured himself with a smile. He playfully started humming and patting the prince's head.
Below Goku, the prince was silently fuming. How dare he humiliate me in front of those pathetic earthlings! He lowly growled. Weakling of a child or not, Kakarot has absolutely no right! He practically shook in anger.
From above Goku could now sense the prince's shaking. He comfortably rubbed Vegeta's tense shoulders trying to get him to calm down.
"Geta… are you ok?" He asked, voice soft.
A moment passed and then he heard a sigh from Vegeta.
"Fine Kakarot." Vegeta mumbled.
The smaller full-blooded saiyan smiled. At least he got to help Vegeta feel better. He began to stare up at the ceiling of the mall. Where are we going now? His question was answered when Vegeta walked into a children's clothing store.
Oh yeah I need some normal clothes. He jumped down onto the ground and looked around. Everything looked so… kiddy.
Goku giggled a little at his choice of wording. Heheh I guess it fits this body to have a childish vocabulary.
The small child glanced around the store again, this time taking in the customers. Hmm ... Mostly females… who said my plan was over? Vegeta can't get anymore mad than he already is.
Goku ran over to a nearby woman looking at baby overalls. He pulled on her long knee length skirt. He then looked up at her and gave a toothy grin. "Hello miss."
The woman immediately dropped the pair of overalls she was holding and clasped her hands together and smiled brightly.
"Why aren't YOU the cutest thing ever to walk the earth!" She picked Goku up and started bouncing him up and down in her arms while Goku was feigning laughter.
At a distance Vegeta was watching with squinted eyes and bared teeth, growling softly. He didn't know HOW or WHY but the scene he was watching greatly disturbed him.
Without thinking, Vegeta angrily stomped over to the lady and snatched Goku away from her. The woman looked confused for a second but she saw Vegeta and smiled again.
"Oh! Is this your son? He's so adorable!"
Vegeta blushed a deep scarlet. His son? He was about to retort when the woman shook her head.
"Oh my! I'm sorry! You look so young, you must be his brother then!"
Goku, on cue turned his body around and hugged Vegeta around his neck. "Nii-san!"
The woman clapped lightly. "Oh I was right! So adorable!" She gushed.
At that exact moment Vegeta decided he wasn't going to come back to the mall for a very long time. Because once the woman got the sentence out, a crowd of women flocked around him all trying to sneak a peak at "little brother loves big brother".
"You boys look very close!" One shouted.
"How old is he?" Another asked.
They continued to bombard him with questions and comments on how apparently adorable they looked. And he couldn't escape even if he wanted to; they had him trapped at all sides.
He stayed perfectly calm, thinking that if he just ignored them and kept Goku away from them, they would get bored or give up. Vegeta froze completely as he saw a pair of hands reach through the crows to try and hold Goku.
"He's so cute, can I hold him?" The woman cooed.
Before his mind can reason with him, his instincts once again took over, he turned his body completely around and held Goku in his arms like a protective mother would.
Vegeta gave a deep warning growl to the surrounding females, automatically deciding that it was enough. The crowd instantly backed off. Vegeta, still holding Goku went over to a rack of clothes, took some in Goku's size and went over to the counter to pay.
Goku was more than confused. He was practically being squeezed against Vegeta's chest. He watched as Vegeta slammed the Capsule Corp. credit card onto the counter to pay, watch the clerk hesitantly ring up his items, give him a bag with Goku's clothes and walk out of the store.

"Hurry! Let's go!" Gohan yelled at Trunks from the back seats of the helicopter.
Trunks covered his left ear with his left hand, while using the other one to lift the helicopter off the ground and take off. "Gee, Gohan-san you're pretty loud."
1 minute earlier the demi saiyans noticed Vegeta's protective outburst and ran out of the mall. A gut feeling telling all of them he was done with the mall and it's people, and it they got caught they had hell to pay.
"Back to Capsule Corp.?" Goten yelled out over the loud noises emanating from the copter blades.
From the front seat, Trunks gave a curt nod. He turned the copter around until it was in the direction of Capsule Corp.
In the backseat Gohan was quietly looking down at his thumbs and he sighed. Seriously started to regret why he came in the first place. He came to get answers, not get more confused. He let out another sigh.
"Whoa-ho-ho Mr. Sigh, what's the big deal back there." Trunks called out teasingly.
Gohan smiled a little. "Nothing, just confused."
Trunks let out an overly dramatic sigh, copying Gohan from earlier, then smirked. "About what?"
Gohan groaned. "About Vegeta, about my dad, how they are acting, just everything!" He nearly shouted but covered his mouth when he noticed his little brother sleeping next to him.
Trunks looked liked he was thinking for a minute before finally answering. "Well maybe this is normal."
The eldest looked up. "Huh?"
"Mom used to tell me all the time that when I was a baby my father was always over-protective of me for absolutely no reason, even if there was no threat." He paused. "Maybe it's just a saiyan instinct, I always feel protective over Goten." He looked at the sleeping boy with a small smile.
"So, I really think you have nothing to worry about Gohan-san, because maybe Dad's just protective over Goku because he's the last full-blooded saiyan and he's even more vulnerable in this state, then any other. Or just because it's in his nature to be protective" Trunks finished with a sincere smile to Gohan.
Gohan was still; processing what Trunks had tried to explain to him. After a few more minutes of silence, Gohan's stoic face formed into a small smile.
Words were not needed for Trunks. He smiled back in response and mumbled a last thought, quiet enough so Gohan couldn't hear. "Besides, Goku wants all of this to happen…" His face snapped up back to the sky and quickly flew back the way home before his Dad did.
In the back seat Gohan was mulling over some last thoughts on the topic too. His Dad didn't seem to mind how Vegeta was acting. And if his father was not in any REAL danger, he shouldn't worry right?
Then how come I feel like something else is actually happening? He shook off his negative thoughts and watched his baby brother sleep.
