1 Trunks, Goten and Ludwig van Beethoven
1.1 Chapter 2
In the previous chapter: Trunks has an assignment about Ludwig van Beethoven, the great composer. He has an idea; why don't I go visit mr. Beethoven? Why not? And I'm gonna take Goten with me! And so it happened, that the two boys are in Vienna, the capital of Austria now. But that's not all; it's the Vienna of 1809. Wow! What will happen there? Go read and see!
With a bang, the invisible time ship appeared out of the temporal rift. Trunks looked down. There he saw a city, a huge city. At least, for it's time. Yes, in the early 19th century Vienna was one of the biggest cities in the known world, next to London and Paris. 'Wow, wow, wow, wow!' Trunks said excites. 'This is great! Vienna! Beethoven! Schönbrunn! Wow! Goten, do you realize this is SO special?'
'Well…..' Goten looked around. 'It's big. There are no skyscrapers, there ain't smog, so I guess I do realize this is special.'
Trunks smiled to his friend. 'Alright, now we gotta look for a safe landing site. I guess there are some good sites in the mountains. No one lives there.'
'But I see farms!' Goten said.
'Yeah, so do I, but we're going higher then just the farms.'
'Isn't that dangerous?'
'Yeah, we gotta be careful, but it needs to be as safe as possible. I don't wanna land in the middle of the city. Everyone will see two boys come out of nowhere.'
'Yeah.' Goten said.
Trunks maneuvered the time ship to the mountains. He looked around. 'Darn it! I can't see any safe places!'
'There's one!' Goten yelled, pointing at a little field in the middle of the woods on the edge of the mountain. Trunks landed safely on the field. The two boys stepped out of the ship. 'So Trunks, what are we going to do with the ship?' Goten asked.
'I'm gonna leave it here.'
'But… It's invisible, but people might bump in to it!'
'That's not going to happen. It's invisible, but it's molecules don't exist in this dimension.'
'But how are we gonna get back aboard?'
'Do you see this little device?' Trunks said, showing a remote. 'When I press this button,' he said, pointing at a red button, 'the ship becomes visible again and the molecules are gonna return to this dimension as well.'
'Way cool!' Goten admired his friend and his friend's mother, and this, he thought, was way cool.
'C*mon Goten, let's go see Vienna!' said Trunks.
Goten followed Trunks to a nearby track, and started walking. As they walked, they stumbled across a soldier, who was apparently on patrol. 'You two!' the young soldier said, pointing at Goten and Trunks. 'What are you doing here? This is military terrain!'
'Uhm…we didn't know.' Goten said.
'What do you mean, you didn't know? There is a 'no trespass' sign at every track leading to this area! Come with me!' the soldier said. Goten went over to a fighting stance. Trunks warned him telepathically. 'Goten, don't do that! We must go with him!' And with that, the soldier took the two boys to a military base on a mountain.
Trunks looked up at the nearby military base where they were escorted to. He saw a French flag. How could he forget. Of course. Napoleon. Napoleon had occupied Vienna by now, and the rest of Austria as well. Goten asked Trunks telepathically: 'What's up with the French flag?'
'Napoleon.' was the short response.
'Great.'
'Keep moving you two!' the soldier said.
An officer came out. 'Well well Soldier, what a catch!' he said. 'What were they doing here?'
'They said they didn't know that they were wandering over military terrain. This one,' he said, pointing at Goten, 'this one even went over in a fighting position of some sort.'
'British?' the officer asked.
There was no response.
'Have you lost your tongue? What are the two of you up to?' he asked on a demanding tone.
'Not talking, huh. Throw them in jail!'
Gee, that was stupid, thought Trunks. He was in big trouble now. In really big trouble. And so was Goten.
Uh-oh! Trunks said it: the two boys are in big trouble! Captured by French troops in the 19th century!? How are they going to get out of this one? Find out, in the next chapter!
