Hey! so heres the next chapter! I'm sorry it took so long, I have to find time for any kind of ideas or story writing so chapters will be odd and possibly take a while. But thanks for the reviews! and to 'Vegeta's Savior' I was thinking something along those lines as well! I'm thinking in the next chapter or two :) and I hope I'm not letting anyone get too OOC. This chapter seems more of a filler just so I could put them all together at capsule corp and set up for the next one and seemed a little bland but I hope the next one can be funnier or more exciting :)

The flight to Capsule Corp had been awkward to say the least. No one talked, and everyone minus the Mirai group stared at and Bulma, all with speculations. Goten and Trunks decided to race and blasted past, at least that took Trunks out of the line of sight, but unfortunately any young boy who can keep up with a Saiyan is in question. Everyone was curious to ask but also reluctant. They all sensed the danger of messing with the future but at the moment none could see the true harm in asking about a boy. It wasn't a long flight and before anyone could work up the nerve to ask they arrived.

"Well here we are, you know what they say, 'my home is your home'" Bulma said, then laughed at her own joke, laughed as well, while most of the group sweat dropped.

"Took you guys forever!" Goten told them happily, Trunks nodding in agreement.

The group smiled at their antics made their way to the kitchen and dining room to await the Son's arrival, unfortunately leaving nothing to talk about except the strangers.

After dodging questions and blankly telling everyone to shut up for about an hour, Goku, Gohan and ChiChi finally arrived.

ChiChi having been told everything was excited to see her sons, and immediately swept into a crushing hug and rapid fire questions ranging from his grades to his diet. After reassuring her she turned to gaze to Goten.

"Oh my goodness! He looks just like you Goku!" She said bending down in front of him, he smiled warmly at his mother and went for a hug. She returned it with earnest and set about helping (more like directing ) the dinner. As interesting as the Mirai group was they were far more excited to hear Goku's adventure, thus leaving them with a relative peace for the meal.

As they all sat after the meal Piccolo, Tien and Chiaotzu who normally would have left soon after felt reluctant to leave incase they missed something important. Goku eventually ran out of things to tell them, and vice versa from what he missed while he was away, the conversation ultimately turned back to the Mirai group. Thus awkward and short questions among the group finally turned to the time machine.

"Well I know what the problem is now" M. Bulma told the large group, " I've located the broken component and now just need to replace it, seems that the surge of energy to bring us here short circuited it. Now that I know the rough calculations for the conversion energies with actual variables I can hopefully fix that for the ride home." She smiled proudly at them. Of course Goku, Goten, Yamcha and Krillin all had blank and vague expressions on there faces; not understanding a word she said. Bulma nodded her head appreciatively, she was proud to know she only got smarter from here!

"Do you have the part here and now?" M. Gohan asked cautiously.

"No, but I know where to find the materials, and it should only take me about a few days to a week to build it." She replied. He nodded gravely. She understood his worry, this was a bit of a dangerous situation, not like their normal ones of course. This would take delicacy- and that unfortunately as she was well aware of, was not a Saiyans strong point. Vegeta case in point as he just out and told them who they were.

"Where can you find it?" Asked her younger counterpart.

"Not far from the East capital actually, the materials themselves will take me a few days to find, the raw materials more so. I think I'll actually head out tomorrow morning and we can find them, then return home and I'll get to work." She explained

"You said we, who do you plan on going with?" Asked Piccolo almost at time Yamcha asked "Ya, do ya want us to take you?".

M. Bulma looked at M. Vegeta. It would be faster if they just went, Vegeta could just fly her and she could pick them up. It might take her a little while to find the materials but she was honestly looking forward to it, she hadn't done anything this exciting in a while, and certainly she didn't have time like this with Vegeta often. returned her look, he didn't really want to go, there was a gravity chamber available now, but he also didn't want her off gallivanting in the past with the weaklings and no one to watch her... to make sure she was actually working of course. They shared a look both understanding it would be better with the two, however it was hard to go about making it just the two of them without raising suspicion.

"Um, No its okay, me and Vegeta will go. It will be faster with just two people and I know where I'm going." She told them, awaiting the assured speculation of just her and Vegeta. Surely she would have picked Yamcha, Goku, Gohan or even Krillin before Vegeta, heck, even Piccolo and Tien before Vegeta. Most gaped but Piccolo gave a slightly knowing look, and Vegeta gave an almost contemptuous look at his elder self, surely he would not agree to play taxi to this annoying woman!

"But I want to come." Bulma told her older self, interrupting the sputter of Yamcha at being refused for Vegeta "I should know where this stuff is right?" she reasoned.

"No, I mean were already messing with the timeline enough. You have to come up with the designs first then figure out the materials then find them. I can stick to that at least." M. Bulma returned, her younger self looking slightly dejected at that, "Plus," continued, "It would take the challenge out of it". She knew that would get her and smiled when she saw a light in her younger self's eyes, she could never resist a challenge.

"Then why not get Mirai Gohan to take you, he should be as fast and him going would not effect the future." Piccolo asked. His assumptions were becoming more based.

" Because I need Gohan to watch Goten and Tr-, the Boys. And in all honesty we all know how Vegeta is with kids, which is not good. I would like to return Goten to ChiChi in one piece thank you very much." She returned with amusement. It was a reasonable argument she thought, no one would really want vegeta to babysit. Before anyone, Piccolo mainly, could make a comment on her directly ignoring the other young boys name and not mentioning any real worry for him, she turned back to her younger self,

"Its gonna be a long trip and a long day or two, so maybe we should all just tuck in huh? Well if you guys wanna stay up with Goku I get it but I'm gonna hit the sack. As well as the boys should be going to bed."

"Of course!" Said ChiChi with her usual rather loud outbursts. "Gohan left all his studying today! Your going to have to get up early and do extra tomorrow young man!" She told him sternly earning a round of chuckles from the group and an exasperated "Oh man." from Gohan. ChiChi turned to and , "What about you and Goten, should you come and sleep with us? Would you be more comfortable at home?" She asked. Secretly she also wanted to test her sons to see how they were coming along. long used to his mom knew what would await him there,

"Sorry Mom but we should stay together and here in case something happens. Plus there's more room here then at home, especially for another three." He told her, then realizing he was being rather rude turned to Bulma, "It is okay if we stay here right?" he asked shyly.

"Of course Gohan." Bulma replied happily, she wanted to talk to the boys herself, surely answers would be easier to get out of them.

ChiChi seemed disappointed with this but as it was these were strange happenings and he did have a point, there really wasn't too much room. This did however catch Chibi Gohans attention,

"But I wanted you to stay with us, I was hoping we could hang out." He said forlornly, he didn't have any friends his own age and no little brother yet to be with.

"Hey how about you come over tomorrow and hang out?" Bulma asked seeing the sad and lonely look in his eyes.

"Is that okay mom?" Gohan asked hopefully.

"What? NO. You are already far behind on your work and taking another day off is out of the question." She told him sternly.

"But mom! I never get to play with other kids!" Gohan begged, The Z warriors in the room felt a pang of pity for the boy. They knew this was true, and that poor Gohan from the get-go had been dealing with the grown ups. And as all of them spent a second on the thought they all realized they had never seen him or heard of him playing with another kid.

"Come on ChiChi, one more day cant hurt." Goku begged on behalf of his son.

"Ya ChiChi, let the poor kid actually be a kid for a day." Krillin interjected.

"The little guy never gets chances like this." Yamcha stated.

Tien and Chiaotzu nodded their agreement and Piccolo just stared on. Vegeta not even remotely interested in the conversation at this point exited the room heading to the gravity chamber.

"Make me the bad guy why don't you." ChiChi muttered. The more she thought about it though it was a great opportunity for Gohan, and his future self looked well enough in a school uniform even, clean cut as well. Perhaps this is a good chance for him. ChiChi sighed,

"Fine, but i expect over the next weeks for you to catch up young mister." She told him seriously, but couldn't help but smile softly at the happiness in Gohans eyes.

" Thank you Mom!" He yelled and hugged her tight.

"Great, well Gohan you can spend the night or come over tomorrow morning, can you fly or-" Bulma started to ask,

"No problem! I'll be over here tomorrow at nine at the latest! I don't have any stuff with me to stay the night, and I kinda wanna spend the night with dad." He told her and his older self, as well as looking excitedly at his future younger brother and the other boy. After the Son's departure Tien and Chiaotzu left as well, promising to stop in over the next few days. Krillin left as well excited to tell Master Roshi and Oolong about Goku's return, promising to be back as well. Piccolo started to leave as well when stopped him by the door. Seeing her younger self and Yamcha distracted with talking amidabley with .

"Wait, Piccolo. Listen I know that your already putting all the pieces together in your head, that if you haven't already figured it out. I need you to keep the questions to a minimum be-"

"If you want me to be quiet then I want some answers." he told her sternly.

"Why are you even bothering telling the Nemekian." They both turned to see M. Vegeta standing behind her.

" 'Bothering telling'? Whats so much of a secret th-"

"Okay, thats enough." said, "Piccolo, the reason were not openly displaying our relationship, yes relationship, is because Trunks is our son and were worried that if our younger selves get word of this then they'll stay clear of each other and therefore trunks wont exist." She told him. Piccolo didn't really seem too shocked at all this, but he nodded slowly,

"That makes sense. Fine, I wont ask anymore questions that will endanger your son." With that he turned to leave, "I'll be stopping in as well." With that he took off.

"Rude bastard, as if it was any of his business to begin with." Vegeta mumbled angrily. Bulma pat his arm comfortingly.

"Now what do we do about sleeping arrangements?" She asked.

So let me know what you think! :) and I promise I'll start on the next one soon!
