I changed the Sheriff from Raditz to Zarbon. And since only the real Goku and Piccolo know who Trunks is, he will be known by his outlaw name by the group here. Remember, all these are figments of Vegeta's dream, so what he doesn't know, neither do they. But I'll call him Trunks so there won't be any confusion.
Chapter 3: The Great Bank Robbery?
Bulma walked through the kitchen door with her arms full of grocery bags. Huffing, she set them on the table and began to unload their contents. ' I wouldn't have to go to the store every two days if that jerk wouldn't eat his weight at every meal!' she fumed.
Speaking of the royal pain, where was he? The light in the gravity room was off. After putting up the goods, she walked into the living room and almost jumped out of her skin when she saw him lying on the couch. An empty tray setting on the coffee table and the TV on.
Well, she had to admit he did look kind of cute lying there like that. Well, ok. Down right sexy since all he had on was a pair of black jogging pants. One arm was thrown back behind his head and the other was dangling off the side of the couch. He looked…peaceful. It seemed a shame to wake him. He must be tired if he had fallen asleep down here watching TV.
She started up the stairs, but then as an after thought, took the afghan off the back of the couch and draped it over him. He never moved. Hmmm. That's odd. He's usually a very light sleeper. She felt his forehead thinking it felt normal, then she leaned forward to listen to his heart. Yeah, he actually had one. She could hear it beating, although by the way he acted you'd have never known it. Satisfying herself that he wasn't dead, she went upstairs to the bathroom. Sighing she picked up the towel and tossed it in the hamper. "Ass!"
Back to
the dream…
Trunks laid his cards on the table. "Full house. Beat that."
Yamcha and Gohan looked disgusted and threw their cards down, watching their purple haired friend rake in another pot.
"That's twelve in a row! I think he's cheating Gohan. Nobodies that lucky." Yamcha huffed drawing a slight chuckle from Trunks.
"I never cheat. I'm just good. And besides, it's not my fault you guys are such lousy poker players."
Gohan picked up the cards and began to shuffle them. "Yeah, well at least we didn't blow up a whole bank yesterday."
Trunks frowned. "It was an accident." He said defensively.
Yamcha laughed. "That wasn't an accident. That was a serious disaster. When the boss gets back he's gonna have a field day with you."
(Flashback to yesterday at the bank)
"Hey, Trunks? Isn't that to much explosive?" Yamcha asked as he watched Trunks pack the plastic explosive onto the combination lock. "I mean, that stuffs kinda new and all, maybe we should experiment with it a little more before we actually use it."
"I know what I'm doing." He inserted the fuse and lit it. "Ok, out back."
They had barely made it out the back door into the alley when it went off. Kaboom!! All the windows in the bank and a few other stores nearby blew out. Planks flew through the air, landing in the street and even on top of buildings across the street. Black smoke boiled out the windows and doors, or at least what was left of them, and charred money floated from the sky like snow.
Coughing, Yamcha, Trunks and Gohan climbed out from under the debris that had been blown into the alley.
"I know what I'm doing!" Gohan repeated sarcastically, dusting off his hat and frowning at the hole in it that was big enough to see in the dark. "You could've killed us!"
"We'd better get out of here before everybody in the territory comes down on us!" Yamcha dragged them both towards their mounts that had surprisingly not bolted at the horrible destruction. They rode off into the night as citizens came running out to look at the pile of rubble that had once been the 1st Bank of Stillwater.
"You did what?" Vegeta shook his head. It was almost funny. He had been shocked to walk into the ranch house and be greeted by Yamcha, whom he hated, an adult Gohan, and that boy. That boy who had shown up out of the blue and defeated Frieza as if he were nothing, then told them about the androids. Why the hell was he here? Couldn't anything about this dream go his way?
Goku laughed. "Hey, that's bad. That sounds like something I would do! But really Gohan, I don't think your mother would approve of you blowing up banks." He looked at Piccolo who cleared his throat and shook his head. "Oh, yeah. Never mind."
Gohan looked at his older brother with a little confusion. "Did you get hit on the head or something Bill?"
"Nah, I'm
just really hungry. What's for supper?" he watched the older woman they now
knew as Mrs. Dunn, as she loaded the table down with lots of steaks and
vegetables. (Mr. and Mrs. Dunn are Bulma's parents.)
"Suppers ready boys."
They all rushed to the table, all except Vegeta and Piccolo, who watched them with somewhat disapproving expressions.
"This is my gang?" Vegeta sounded disappointed. "Nappa and Raditz were better."
"We didn't ask to be here. You're the one controlling this dream. Well, to a certain extent anyway." The Namek sat down at the table and filled his plate.
Mrs. Dunn brought out glasses of tea. "I hope no one saw you boys come out here. You know Sheriff Zarbon was out here just last week asking about you."
"Zarbon!" Vegeta asked, shocked.
"Why yes. He said that Marshal Frieza and his deputies were out searching for you. And they would be in town sometime tomorrow."
Vegeta gritted his teeth. What else?
Next chapter will be about B/V so don't get to impatient.
