The early morning sun started to rise into the sky, filling it was beautiful colors of red, orange, and yellow, being mixed into the dark blue that was leaving the sky, becoming lighter. Trunks sat up in bed at the smell of something good cooking. He got out of bed, combed his hair, and walked out of his room. He saw the television was on where the lavender haired boy sat watching Saturday morning cartoons. He turned to him where his emerald eyes looked into his and seemed to smile.
"Hey buddy," said Trunks taking a seat next to him and ruffling his head with his hand.
"Hey." His head turned back to the television where it seemed to be glued at the people fighting with each other. Trunks left him and went into the kitchen where he saw Makoto making scrambled eggs. His stomach grumbled at te smell of the delicious food cooking.
"Make yourself useful and set up the table," ordered Makoto as she cracked two more eggs and started mixing them in a bowl. Trunks grabbed five plates, glasses, napkins, and silverware. He sat up the table and waited for more orders.
"Could you pour some orange juice out as well?" He went over to the refrigerator and grabbed the juice. He looked over at Makoto who was wearing some baggy black night pants and a white shirt that showed off her tame stomach. Her hair was lazily placed in a messed up bun that seemed to go everywhere but was cute.
"Anything else?" He watched her place a cover over the eggs and go over to the oven. She pulled out some hash browns, and then sat them down.
"Butter the toast." He did as directed while she placed portions on the plates which consisted of eggs, hash browns, bacon, jo-jo potatoes, and then the toast joined it. She placed ketchup, tobacco sauce, and butter on the table.
"Anything else?" he asked. She looked up at him.
"You could get Bulma and Vegeta." He nodded and then started up the stairs. Vegeta had just came in from the training room and started for the kitchen so he went for the lab. He looked to see Bulma working hard on something.
"Do you want me to bring you your breakfast?" he asked. She nodded.
"Yeah. Just set it down over there." He left and went to the kitchen where he grabbed everything for Bulma. The kid was already sitting down and waiting.
"Bumla too?" asked Makoto. He nodded and then walked away. She sighed.
'Trunks, why do you have to wear clothes like that? It makes girls drool over your nice body. Especially me,' she thought. She looked to see him enter and sit down.
"What did Vegeta do?" asked Trunks while the kid had already started eating.
"Grab, grumble, and leave." Silence fill the room for a while.
"Are you two married?" asked the kid. Makoto almost choked on her food and turned to the kid with wide eyes. He sighed.
"I'll take that as a no," he said and then continued eating. After he was done, he pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Trunks. Then he went back to watch cartoons. Trunks looked at his name on it and opened it.
Dear Trunks,
Since this note has found you, I know that you must have found Sanku. He's a smart fellow and don't let him distract you will anything. He took after you with being strong. I'm revealing too much already. Train him and let him fight with you in your battle that could come anytime but I don't know when. Be careful about your choices as well Trunks. If you know that you're in love with someone, you should let them know before they walk out of your life forever. I don't want to see you get hurt in any way. We all miss you in the future, even your sons mother. Take care of yourself.
Future Bulma
He folded it up and placed it away.
"His name is Sanku and he's from the future," said Trunks. Makoto raised an eye brow as she picked up the empty plates and glasses.
"Oh really? For what purpose?" she asked taking them over to the sink and started to wash them.
"To help us fight the enemy that's coming." She nodded and dried her hands.
"The more the merrier," she said and took a seat across from him.
"True. Do you know when this enemy is coming?" he asked.
"In about two months I suppose. Setsuna really didn't tell us exactly when. She just said to prepare for the future." He nodded in agreement and then looked up from her eyes at the knock on the door. He got up and opened it where the four other teens entered. They all took their seats at the table.
"So, did you find anything out about the kid?" asked Minako. Trunks handed them the letter where they passed it around after reading it. The girls where the most effected by it. Rei grinned and Minako looked at Rei. He knew what part they must have read by those looks.
"I told you!" said Rei.
"What are you talking about?" asked Makoto.
"Sanku is Trunks' future son," said Minako. Makoto got an "o" look on her face.
"I wonder who the mom is," said Goten.
"Me too," said Rei.
"I'm going to get ready," said Makoto getting up from her seat and pushing it in. Minako looked at how Makoto ruffled Sanku's hair to see him smile as she passed by. She looked back at them.
"I was thinking that we should train the girls in the time chamber," said Goten.
"It'll only take three days," said Gohan.
"But who are we going to train?" said Trunks.
"You get Makoto," said Minako looking at Trunks.
"Why?" Minako and Rei smiled at each other.
"Because you are strong and you are the only one that Makoto trusts. She doesn't know Gohan or Goten."
"Who's going first?" asked Gohan.
"Trunks and Makoto," said both girls first.
"We can leave today and get it over with," said Goten.
"Do you think that it'll only take a day to get strong?" asked Minako.
"You're in the Time Chamber for a year inside there but here, it's only a day." They nodded.
"Okay. That's fine." That sat around for the next hour drinking coffee, fooling around, watching Sanku while Trunks took his shower. Makoto finally emerged from upstairs in some tan shorts and a red tank top. Her hair was just plainly down. Sanku went over to her where she picked him up where he hugged onto her. Trunks was already seated in blue jeans and a white shirt.
'Sanku really likes Makoto. I think he knows something I don't know. Is she his mother? They both have the same eyes,' thought Trunks.
"We need to get this kiddo here some clothes," said Makoto. A "duh" look went over all their faces.
"That would help since he's staying with us for a while."
"Why don't you and Trunks go?" asked Minako. Rei agreed.
"Yeah. You know fashion, Sanku likes you, and Trunks can drive."
"Please say yes," said Sanku looking at Makoto with a smile.
"Fine." Trunks grabbed the keys and they headed out. Trunks watched at the two laughed in the back.
'He does love her. Or does he just like women? No. He really didn't speak with Minako or Rei that much. Oh well. The note clearly says that if I love someone, I should let them know but, I don't love anyone right now. I'm just attracted but, that's all. There's nothing between us. No chemistry. Perhaps I might learn more about Makoto in the Time Chamber.'
"Makoto, how would you like to train in the Time Chamber with me?" he asked her.
"What is the Time Chamber?" she asked looking up at him.
"It's place where all of us usually go to get stronger. We train for exactly a year inside there but, outside, it will only be one day."
"She's not going," said Sanku. Trunks rose an eye brow.
"Why can't I go?" asked Makoto.
"I want you to stay here with me. You're the only person I trust," he said hugging onto her.
"What about Trunks? Don't you trust him?" she asked.
"Not now I don't. Until I see the future happen the way it should have happened."
"You're just like Setsuna. Hiding secrets," said Makoto. He smiled.
"I'm proud of it." Trunks stopped at the mall where they all got out and started into it.
'Why doesn't he like me? What did I do in the future that I have to change now?' he asked himself. He felt someone hold onto his arm and looked over to see Makoto.
"I'm sorry about what Sanku said. He's set on what happened in the future. Perhaps you could change what ever he got mad at you for," she suggested. He sighed.
"Yeah. I hate it when anyone's mad at me. Especially kids." She smiled at him gently.
"Don't worry. Everything will turn out better. I know it will. You just have to have a little faith."
"Makoto!" She looked at Sanku waiting for her to help him with an angry look on his face. She let go of his arm.
"Don't worry. I'll try to help with the situation." He then watched her leave him.
'She's beautiful, sweet, kind. Everything that a guy would want! She probably already has a perfect guy waiting for her back in her dimension.' He took a seat and waited for them the come out.
An: Alright. That's it for now. I'll get more out as soon as possible.
