*Chapter 8*
"Hey, we're about to head off to a place not too far from here where Goku's going to be landing. You're welcomed to join if you like?" Trunks asked the Z-Fighters.
Everyone looked confused, could they really trust these two?
"It's this way," Trunks said pointing north. Yeah we can pretty much show you exactly where he's going touch down."
"So anyway Goku will be here about two hours from now, let's all get a move on!" Pan said as she and Trunks took off.
Trunks and Pan shot into the air together. At first they thought the others wouldn't follow them, but slowly the Z-Fighters started too. Trunks checked his GPS and after finding the right coordinates he and Pan headed downwards. They landed between two rock mountains and the Z-Fighters stared at the two strangers curiously.
Everybody stood there in silence, not really knowing what to say. Slowly Trunks pulled a box out of one of his jacket pockets. Opening the box he pulled out a capsule.
As Trunks opened the Capsule a fridge popped out of it.
"Watch out you guys! They're up to something" Said Yamucya as he watched Trunks.
Trunks opened the fridge and pulled out two sodas, one for him and one for Pan.
"How about a cold drink? Goku's not due to arrive for two more hours, it's pretty hot and dry out here," Trunks said before taking a sip of his soda.
"Well, I don't see why not," Bulma said with a shrug.
"Yeah," Gohan said running over to the fridge.
"Wait Gohan!" Krillin said he didn't really trust the two teenagers.
"Chill out Krillin, there just sodas," Bulma said as she walked over to the fridge.
Pan couldn't believe it, it was her dad! He was a kid, but he was still her dad. He looked to be about ten or eleven; it made her happy to see him again, even if he was from a different timeline.
"Oh wow, what a great selection!" Gohan said happily.
"Hey I'm starting to like these two they have root beer," Bulma said grabbing one.
"Is there a grape guy's?" Krillin asked sheepishly.
"Yeah! Two grapes, Krillin." Gohan said motioning for his friend to come over.
Bulma looked at the two teenagers curiously, "Have we met you two look so familiar,"
"No sorry," Pan said.
Gohan looked up at Trunks, "Excuse me Mr., but how do you two know my dad?" he asked the male saiyan.
"Actually we've never met your dad before, we've only just heard about him," Trunks told him.
"But how do you two know he's going to arrive at this spot in two hours?" Krillin asked.
"Oh well that's ah… Sorry guys we… we can't say," Trunks said.
They turned when they heard an angry voice addressing them, "Why not?! I'll tell you why, because you two are up to something. Tell us now tough guy, who are you two?!" asked an angry Vegeta.
"I wish we could, sorry," Trunks told him tilting his head down.
"When you two defeated Freezia and that big guy, you two were super saiyans weren't you?" Gohan asked Pan.
"Yes… yes we were," Pan said giving him a smile.
"That's a lie!" Vegeta Shouted, "Look you two! Myself and Kakarot, the one you call Goku are the only saiyans left, Kakarot's brat there is half saiyan so if you count him, that make's three. Freezia sought to it that our race was all but wiped out from existence, so there is no way you two can have saiyan blood!"
Trunks and Pan were silent there was no convincing Vegeta, so why even bother trying?
"Yeah, but we saw them. They defeated Freezia and that huge guy, all by themselves" said Gohan.
"Well I'm calling them liars, not weaklings," said Vegeta.
"Hey," Bulma said when she noticed the Capsule Corp logo on both Trunks' blue jacket and Pan's red one. "You guys have our logo on your jackets, that's my dad's company. Are you one of our employees?" she asked.
"No not exactly just fans," Trunks told her.
"Ah, I see, well tell me your names and I'll recommend you to my dad,"
We can't do that. I'm sorry, I know it's strange," said Trunks.
"Now they won't volunteer their names," Tien said.
"Yeah, what are they hiding?" Yamucya asked.
"Hey guys we grilled them enough, don't you think?" Bulma asked the Z-fighters. "If it wasn't for whoever they are, the whole planet would have been blown away!" she said.
Time ticked by as everyone waited for Goku's arrival, Trunks and Pan were sitting on rock with their backs against each other, Vegeta sat down as well, keeping a watchful eye on the saiyan teens from where he sat. Bulma and Krillin were sitting as well not too far away from where Trunks and Vegeta were sitting. Yamucya was standing by Bulma and Gohan by Krillin. Tien and Choutzu were sitting on rock not too far from where Pan was sitting; while Piccolo stood on a rock with his back turned from everyone, keeping his distance as far away as possible.
Trunks would glance Vegeta's way a couple of times, till it finally annoyed the saiyan prince, "What are you looking at?!" demanded Vegeta.
"Oh… uh nothing, it's… just that I…like your shirt." Trunks answered.
"You would!" Vegeta grunted.
Pan bit down on her tongue trying to hold in her laughter.
Bulma was looking from Trunks to Vegeta when she whispered in Krillin's ear. "Hey now check this out, is it me or do those two kinda look alike?"
"Who does?" Krillin asked.
"Vegeta and that mystery boy, I'm not making this up just take a look," Bulma told Krillin.
"Well, I can kinda see a resemblance, well just in looks. I mean that kid's pretty nice but Vegeta has the personality of a tree stump," said Krillin.
"Well he's a Prince."
"So what."
"Princes' have to act bored, like the worlds not good enough for them," said Bulma.
Krillin looked at Bulma confused, "Vegeta seems more agitated then bored, like he's got a bad case of hemorrhoids or something," Krillin said snickering.
Trunks looked over Vegeta's way again, he couldn't help it. His mother had told him stories about his father, but it was nothing like meeting him in the flesh.
"Why do you keep looking over here?! Haven't you seen a pink shirt before?! If you like it so much you can have it," Vegeta spat.
"No, no thank you," Trunks said tilting his head down.
"Then knock it off kid!" Vegeta yelled at him.
"Maybe Goku met these kids somewhere out space, Choutzu. I mean he has been gone for a while." Tien said.
"But they told Gohan that they've never met Goku." Choutzu pointed out.
But how could they know the exact spot where Goku's going land two hours before he arrives?" Tien asked.
"Maybe they're wrong!" said Yamucya. "Maybe, Goku's not coming!"
"Well the only way to find out is to wait for two hours, right?" Asked Bulma.
"Yeah."
"Well, how long has it been?"
"One hour."
"Well then, JUST CHILL OUT FOR ONE MORE HOUR!"
"WELL YOU CAN FIND ANOTHER RIDE HOME!"
"FINE!"
Trunks and Pan let out a few snickers as they watched Bulma and Yamucya fight.
Another hour passed when Trunks' watch started to beep. Him and Pan stood up as they addressed the others,
"Hey that's it two have passed, Goku should be arriving any second now." Trunks told them.
The others all stood up with eagerness waiting to see if the two teens were right, two seconds later, the Z-fighters felt a ki entering earth's atmosphere,
"Wow, those kids were right after all," Yamucya said.
"He's coming!" Krillin yelled happily.
"You're all nuts," Bulma told them, "my woman's intuition isn't picking up anything at all right now,"
"No it's true, He's finally home! My dad's back!" Gohan said excitedly.
A little twinkle in the sky came into view as Goku's ship flew passed them and landed a few yards away with big boom, the Z-fighters took off with Trunks and Pan not too far behind.
The Z-Fighters stood on the side of the big crater Goku's ship had made as Trunks and Pan landed behind them.
The door to the ship started to opening as Goku came out; he was very surprised to see his friends and family.
