[The Camp]
futureTrunks sat down on a log as Gine and Goku sat on two other logs on the left an right of him. Beerus and Whis hanging back in the background and Vegeta leaning against a tree as Kid Trunks and Goten sat around the camp fire.
"So why are you here Trunks? Is something a matter...?" Goku inquired.
"Sadly yes, as much as I'd like to visit you guys without being the bearer of bad news all the time." future Trunks nodded.
"What is it...? Is it something to do with me...? Am... Am I not supposed to be here...?" Gine heitantly asked. future Trunks rubbed the back of his head.
"Yes and no... while you weren't meant to be here in the original timeline, the Supreme Kai of Time 'reviewed' your case... and she's allowing you to stay in this time forever... she's a nice person like that... of course, I too wanted to help you stay here, I did talk with her about it at first." future Trunks replied, trying to paint up a picture of him requesting for the Supreme Kai of Time to allow Gine to stay in the current era, as if to try and impress Gine.
"How ever did you do it? I mean, she's your boss and all..." Gine responded.
"Heh, like I said; she's a nice person and I am a very good worker so I was able to talk her into it." Future Trunks replied.
"Thanks a lot Trunks." Gine smiled.
"No problem! Anything to help a friend, plus I owe it to Goku too..." Future Trunks smiled with confidence.
[The Time Nest]
"Stealin' all my thunder... he better not moan about the Bardock thing now..." The Supreme Kai of Time frowned.
[Present Time]
"So, is there a distortion coming up...?" Goku inquired.
"Not really... if anything it's a repercussion of Gine's time travel, not that you're to blame at all Gine! I wasn't saying that, it's just... something is going to happen... and I'm kind of here for support, I mean, you and Goku could easily handle it, but if a distortion does happen; I may have to jump in." Future Trunks informed.
"Can you tell us exactly what it is?" Vegeta interjected.
"I'd like too father, but if I tell you about what it is exactly, it could have more negative repercussions than good... this way, I'll know exactly how to aid you and everything will be a lot easier if things go as they're supposed to before I have to jump in. I'm under strict orders from the Supreme Kai of Time to only aid when the time comes and not mess with anything other than a possible distortion... she did however send me here a week early, so I guess we can all... hang out...?" Future Trunks responded. Vegeta was silent for a moment.
"Sounds like fun, and besides; the challenge excites me." Vegeta smirked.
"Good to hear!" Future Trunks smiled.
"So you're gonna stay with us right?" Gine inquired.
"If it's fine with everyone else." Future Trunks smiled. Goku got up and patted Future Trunks on the back with a smile.
"Of course it is buddy, stay as long as you want; the more the merrier." Goku smiled.
"Thanks Goku." future Trunks smiled back.
"Now, do ya wanna help my mom achieve Super Saiyan God?" Goku inquired.
"Oh that's another thing, you guys were gonna hold off on that anyway until the threat appeared, if we help her achieve it now; Gine won't have enough time to master it before the battle... and that would be very bad..." future Trunks informed.
"Fine by me." Gine responded.
"Oh, ok, I understand." Goku nodded.
"Hmm... interesting, I take it is a strong opponnt that Gine shall be facing?" Beerus spoke up, walking over to the group.
"Yes Lord Beerus, just as strong as Frieza after his revival... possibly even stronger..." future Trunks informed. Beerus rubbed his nose.
"Humph, nothing to worry about then..." Beerus shrugged the notion off. "Unless it gets dust on my food as I watch..." Beerus followed up.
"Well... unlike Frieza, he's gonna realise the flaws of 'the form' and rat them out in time... rapid stamina and energy drain will no longer be an issue... it's gonna be a larger problem than you may expect..." Future Trunks admitted.
"Well... this person sounds like a pretty evil guy... I'll enjoy destroying him if I have to jump in, I missed my shot at Frieza after all..." Beerus replied.
"And mine was stolen..." Vegeta followed up.
"You're never gonna live that down are you Vegeta?" Goku responded.
"Hell no..." Vegeta frowned.
"Can't blame a guy for trying..." Goku shrugged.
"Next time Kakarot, just tell me about it and I'll finish 'em off." Vegeta retorted.
"Fine, fine..." Goku sighed. Vegeta let out a 'humph' before shaking his head and sighing. He walked over to Future Trunks and the others.
"Ok, how about we all go get a big feast back at my place? May as well enjoy the time we have now that Trunks is here..." Vegeta suggested.
"I've been here the entire time dad..." Kid Trunks interjected. Vegeta let out a pained sigh and rubbed his eyes as he shuck his head.
"I mean other you..." Vegeta groand.
"Sounds good to me anyway, a feast would be nice." Beerus replied. Everybody else nodded in agreement.
"Fine by me." Goku smiled.
"Ok, let's get going then, we'll come back here later." Vegeta responded. As everybody prepared to leave, Kid Trunks walkwed up to Future Trunks' side.
"Nice sword." Kid Trunks complimented.
"Thanks, it was a gift from Gohan." Future Trunks responded.
"I got a sword like it myself at home in my room, haven't practiced with it yet though." Kid Trunks informed.
"You should try it sometime, its pretty sweet really." Future Trunks smiled. Kid Trunks nodded in response. As everybody else was distracted, Future Trunks whispered to Kid Trunks. "Oh, and stop trying to impress Gine, I saw everything earlier..." Future Trunks whispered.
"Why? You do it all the time." Kid Trunks replied with a grin as he shrugged. Future Trunks' eyes started to twitch and he mimicked the action of strangling Kid Trunks in thin air to warn him to shut up. Kid Trunks chuckled to himself. "Why you little..." Future Trunks grumbled before calming himself down and trying to ignore his younger counterpart.
"Come on guys, we can talk later, there's food to be had!" Goku exclaimed after loking over his shoulder by flying off into the sky. Everybody else followed soon after along with both Future and Kid Trunks.
