Summary: An old friend of Vegeta comes to earth to kill him. Vegeta's afraid that his friend will find out about Bulma and their children.
Chapter 3: Who is that mystery man?
Trunks looked down at his smiling sister. Her head was turn, looking at something. He followed her eyes and saw his best friend. Next to Goten were Marron and her mix-match-size parents. Trunks tucked his sister back into the Baby Pocket (I don't know what else to call it but I think you'll know what I'm talking about); making sure her little chubby feet were pulled through the holes. He walked over to his friends as fast as he dared, casting quick looks where his mother was standing.
"Hi, Trunks! What are you doing here?" Bra tried to turn her head around to look at the speaker. When she couldn't, she started kicking Trunks.
"Oww! That hurts, Bra! Stop it, stop kicking me." Trunks tried to catch her feet to stop her.
"Here let me hold her." Krillin reached out and pulled Bra out of the Baby Pocket. "Hello little Bra!" Bra opened her mouth and let out a wail. Her cubby legs kicked out, hitting Krillin as her arms did the same thing.
"Here let me hold her," Goten said as he took the crying baby form Krillin. Bra learned who had her in his arms and stopped kicking and screaming. She looked up and smiled a toothless smile. "Aww, look she likes me!"
"Trunks! Trunks, where are you?" Bulma shouted. She put down the tray over filling with food on the table. She looked around and found her two children standing next to her long-time friend. "Krillin, 18! What are you doing here? Aww you brought little Marron with you."
"Hi Bulma. We're getting Marron some new duds. She's out grown all of her new clothes already." Krillin and 18 walked over to Bulma and the three started talking about kids growing out of clothes. Goten walked slowly towards the table while Trunks raced Marron to the food.

Zack watched the purple hair boy. The spiky black hair boy had the same power source as the purple one. The little pigtail blond girl didn't add up to those two. He frowned. No one in this place added up to them. He looked closer at the boys. He stepped back in surprise as he found the answer. They were saiyans!
"Anna! Do you know what they are? They're saiyans," he told her as if she didn't already know. "I'm just going to read, first the purple one then the black hair one's mind." Anna mentally rolled her eyes but didn't say anything. Zack, eyes closed, pictured the purple hair boy. He searched his memories for the father but drew up blanks. "Odd," he whispered as he switched to the boy's friend. This boy had a father, a saiyan father. But he wasn't Vegeta. Zack did find something odd with this memory too. There were a few blanks. "Very odd indeed."
"Check the blue hair mother and the short dude. I'll check the baby and the blonde." Anna waited to make sure Zack did as she commanded. The baby was confused. Something or some one was missing. Could it be the father? Anna knew the baby wouldn't give her any more clues. The blonde might, Anna search her mind. Something wasn't right. She knew! The blonde knew she was in her mind. She turned her piecing ice blue eyes scanning the crowd. "Zack gotta go now! She'll find us." Anna jogged lightly to the exit.
"I wasn't done!"
"Who cares? If we were found out it wouldn't matter. That blonde bitch knew I was inside of her head. She knew," Anna repeatedly whispered. "She knew."
"What are you saying? How can she know? No body knows when we read their minds unless they can too or if you're Vegeta. The 'bitch' as you put it isn't Vegeta. He would never disguised himself as an ugly woman." Zack lifted his nose higher into the air."
"Then maybe she can! There was something different about her."
"She can't read minds and that's final! Now excused me, I'm hungry."
**********************************************************************************************************************************************
"Dada!" One-year-old Pan dragged an old photo album on the floor with her butt in the air walking backwards. "Dada!" She stopped when her butt hit the sofa. She turned around and glared at her father. "Dada!"
Gohan put the newspaper he was reading on the end table. He looked over at his daughter who pointed at the book she got out. He sighed. He reached out to pick the book up as Pan quickly climbed into his lap. "Let's see what you got." He flip opened the book.
"Mama, Dada." Pan pointed to a picture of her parent's wedding. "Pic'lo!" Pan pointed at each picture, naming everyone she knew. Couple pages later Pan stopped at a picture. "Who?" she demanded. Gohan took a closer look at the unsmiling man.
"Oh that's . . . that's . . . I don't know." Gohan took the picture out of its protective covering and flipped it over. Videl wrote the name of everyone on the back but she also wrote it sloppy and he couldn't read it. He flipped through the album and found more pictures with the man in it. Finally Gohan found a picture that he could red it's handwriting. He realized it was written in his handwriting. Bulma, Vegeta, Trunks, Goten: Goten's 5th B-day. Who is Vegeta? Maybe Bulma knew. This Vegeta person was squeezing Bulma's ass. He looked at another picture with Vegeta in it. This one just had Vegeta and Trunks. Both were dress in the same outfit, a hot pink shirt and yellow pants. Both also had their arms cross and frowning at the camera. "Could this be Trunks' father?"
"Dada!"
**********************************************************************************************************************************************
Vegeta was training in his gravity room. He didn't know how strong Zack had become. It was better to be safe then sorry. He knew Dr. Briefs and his wife wouldn't come near the place. Bulma took the brats out. There was no chance of discovery. He trained hard at 900 times normal gravity (I'm taking a guess at what times gravity he is at after Bra is born).
Who are Zack's allies?
Vegeta thought back to his days living with Frieza. Zack had friends but his really close friends were Piggy or Super Piggy now. Piggy was a man who could turn into a pig. Why any one would want to become a pig was beyond Vegeta. Piggy would be an easy defeat. Mirror Wall was another friend. Mirror was exactly as the name implied. He could become the mirror image of any one. Mirror could look like any one but he doesn't have their fighting moves. Then there's Dude. Dude was Dude. He would say "Dude that's totally awesome!" or something like that. Every sentence will either have 'dude' and/or 'totally'. He would also be an easy defeat. Frieza only kept Dude around to see if really he said 'dude' in most of his sentence. Next there was Anna, Zack's twin sister. Anna was always where Zack was. If Zack was in the training room, Anna was in the training room. She was his shadow. And the key word is 'was'. Anna was killed by Frieza. He let Anna stay for his amusement. When Anna started showing real fighting technique and rebellion Frieza killed her. Zack didn't know how to react to her death. He pretended Anna new was. Since then Zack pretended anyone he cared for that died never was.
Vegeta tried to think of Zack's other closest friends. Piggy, Mirror, Dude, Anna. There was one more. After Anna died Zack and His friends became The Four Ls. L for losers. Then Frieza took in another person who became fast friends to The Four Ls.
Vegeta dropped to the floor. Laying on his back, one arm over his eyes, breathing deeply. Zack and the Unknown were the two to watch out for. Piggy, Mirror, and Dude wasn't worth his time. Heck, Pan, maybe Bra in a couple more months, could beat the crap out of all three without a sweat. Vegeta smiled. An image of the two little girl saiyans beating Piggy, Mirror, and Dude filled his mind. He chuckled.
**********************************************************************************************************************************************
"Mom, I left something at home," Trunks told his mother. "Can I hurry home and get it?"
"Sure. Don't wander off somewhere. I'm shopping for clothes for your sister and me. Look for us here in one hour." Bulma pointed to a clothing department that sold woman and infant clothing. Trunks unstrap the Baby Pocket and handed it to his mother.
"Can Goten come too?"
"Yeah, just be back in an hour." Goten gave Bulma her infant daughter. Bra turn to watch the boys run to the exit. She started to cry but noticed that her mother was going to take her shopping. She loved shopping even if she was still too little to talk or walk or really know what shopping is.
Trunks and Goten flew into the air. Minutes later they reached CC. Trunks went inside and up into his bedroom. "What did you forget?"
"Tomorrow is Mom's birthday. I made a present for her. I'm wrapping it now." Trunks went to his writing desk and flip a switch under it. A secret compartment popped open. Goten came over to inspect the compartment. "Granps made it for me when I asked. He knew there were some things, like birthdays' presents that I need to hide from my parents." Trunks took out Bulma's birthday present.
"What did you make?"
"It's a album. I put all of my favorite pictures in here. I'm going to five to her."
"Can I see?"
"Sure." Trunks tossed the book to his best friend who caught it fairly easy.
"Cool! It's you and you. I mean you as a baby and Future Trunks. And here's a picture of you kissing your sister after she was born." He flopped through some more pages. Trunks noted the confusing clouding his friend's face. Goten took out the same picture as his older brother, Gohan had taken with him to ask Bulma, the one where Trunks was with a man wearing the same outfit and expression.
"Who's this?"
Trunks was surprise. "Don't be stupid! That's my . . ."
Ding Dong.
"Who could that be?" Trunks ran to the front door. He didn't want Goten to know that he didn't know the person in the picture. He open to door. "Gohan? Why are you here?"
"Is Bulma here?"
"No, she's shopping."
Gohan looked closely at him. Something was wrong. "Maybe you can help me. Can you tell me who this guy is?" He showed Trunks the same picture. Trunks still had in his hands. Trunks lift his picture up to show Gohan and shook his head. "Do you know what this Vegeta person relationship is with you mom?" Again Trunks shook his head.
"Is that his name? Vegeta?"
"That's what the back of it says." Gohan watch his little brother walked towards them.
" 'Son and Father; Trunks and Vegeta'," Goten read the print on the back of Trunks' picture.
"What?"
Goten took the picture and turned it around. "It says right here."
"I know what my dad looks like! But he has . . ." Trunks search through his memory for his father. He couldn't. "Well I can't remember what he looks like but I'm sure I would know if I say him."
"Do you know were Bulma is?"
"Yeah." Goten told his older brother the clothing department Bulma would be in. "Come back and tell us what she said."
"I know you're a half saiyan," Gohan said to reassure the purple hair boy. "So is Bra. Your dad must be too. Maybe Dad would know who it is." Gohan left soon after that. Trunks went back to his room to put the picture back Goten wondered around CC ready to leave. He noticed the Gravity room. Some one was in it. He went over to the door and peeked into the window. The youngest son of Goku saw a man laying on the floor with long golden hair that flickered back and forth black.
