Chapter Two: Sneaking Out

            Back at the Briefs'..."VAGETA! THOSE WHERE MY MOM'S BEST CHINA! HOW COULD YOU GO AND BREAK SOMETHING SO VALUABLE!"

            "It wasn't MY fault!  If YOU HADN'T RUN IN HERE WITH THAT STUPID PINK SHIRT AND TRIED TO STUFF IT OVER MY HEAD THEN I COULD HAVE SEEN WHAT I WAS DOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Vegeta yelled out in on solitary breath.

            "..." Bulma didn't know how to react to that so she just stomped out of the room.

            "AND FOR YOUR INFORMATION THE SHIRT WHAT LIGHT RED NOT PINK!" Bulma called back.

            "OH WHATEVER!"

            Upstairs in his room Trunks was planning his escape route and had heard the whole fight between his parents.

            "Boy, do I envy Goten. He is so lucky to have parents that get along so well.  I wonder what it would be like...

Dream Sequence

            "Vegeta dear, could you pass the broccoli?" asked Bulma.

            Trunks stared at her and then at his father.  They where sitting at the dinner table and where dressed all fancy and stuff.

            "Yes darling," replied Vegeta as he passed a bowl of broccoli over to his wife.

            "Thank you so much Vegeta."

            "Your welcome my love"

            Then Vegeta and Bulma got up and exchanged kisses. 

           

            "Ew, maybe they're getting along too well." thought Trunks aloud.

            "Who's getting along too well." asked Bulma walking into her son's room.

            Trunks turned around startled.  "Oh no one, it's just a book I'm reading, that's all."

            "Well lights out little man. Your father has big plans for you tomorrow."

            "Yes mom."

            Bulma turned of the light and shut the door on her way out.

            Trunks looked over at the clock.  10:15, not too long now!

           

            "MOM! I CAN'T FIND MY UNDERWEAR!" called Goten from his room.

            "IT'S IN THE LAUNDRY BASKET NEXT TO THE LAUNDRY SHOOT!" answered ChiChi.

            "FOUND IT!"

            "That boy, he is so much like his father." Chichi remarked.

            Just then Goku walked into the living room where ChiChi was watering the plants.  "Um ChiChi...I can't find...."

            "Didn't you hear what I just told our son!  It's in the laundry basket next to the laundry shoot."

            Goku's eyes widened and his mouth formed a goofy grin.  "Oh yeah, thanks hunny."

            EXACTLY THE SAME! ChiChi thought to herself. Then she just burst out laughing.

            knock knock

            "Come in." said Gohan as he rushed from reading a magazine on his bed to his desk full of study papers. 

            "Hey Gohan." said Goten as he opened the door.

            "Oh it's just you squirt." Gohan said letting out a sigh of relief.

            "Yeah, um...can I ask you something?"

            "What's up bro?" asked Gohan as he swerved his chair around.

            Goten walked over and sat on his brother's bed before asking, "Why do our dad and Trunks' dad get along so badly."

            Goten looked at his brother and said, "Well...you see...well you know how our dad is like a...um what's the word...super hero?"

            "Yeah," Goten replied nodding.

            "Well Trunks' dad is the opposite."

            Goten's eyes grew wide, "You mean Vegeta is a..."

            "I'm afraid so."

            "So you're saying Vegeta is a doctor?"

            Gohan fell off his chair.

            "What do you mean a doctor?! I was talking about a bad guy, you know! A villain!" exclaimed Gohan.

            "But dad's always telling mom that a doctor is his worst enemy!" explained Goten.

            Well dad's got to grow up and get over his needle phobia! thought Gohan. "Yeah well, Vegeta's not a doctor he's a villain, got it?"

            "But I've never seen Trunks' dad do anything really bad, he's just got a bad temper is all.

            Gohan remembered back to when he was about seven or so and Vegeta landed on the planet. "Trunks' dad has done a lot of things but I don't have time to tell you now." Gohan told his brother.  Gohan pointed at the clock that said 10:50.

            "Oh okay, but promise you'll tell me when we have time."

            "Sure, I will," promised Gohan.

            Goten jumped of the bed and ran to his room.

            Ding dong

            "COMING! Goku yelled from the kitchen. He stuffed the rest of the double decker chocolate cake into his mouth and ran to the door.

            "Hey Goku," Krillin greeted Goku.

            "Oh, hey Krillin!"

            "GOKU! WHO'S AT THE DOOR?" called ChiChi from the laundry room.

            "IT'S JUST KRILLIN! So what are you doing here?" asked Goku.

            "...um...master Roshi...........kicked me out..."

            "WWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT!!!"

            "GOKU! IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT OUT THERE!" hollered ChiChi.

            "SURE CHICHI, EVERYTHING IS FINE! What happened!?" Goku asked extremely confused.

            "Um...not here...you think we could go on a walk and talk about it?" asked Krillin.

            "Yeah sure...let me just go tell ChiChi,"

            "Okay, I'll wait here."

            Goku walked over to the laundry room, debating in his mind what to tell ChiChi.

            "Uh...ChiChi....hunny?"

            "What is it Goku?"

            "I can't watch the kids tonight while you go to the Ox Kings'..."

            ChiChi looked at Goku, "And just why, all of a sudden you can't watch them?"

            "Well...Krillins got a problem."

            "What do you mean a problem?"

            "I'm not sure yet, listen, I'll watch the kids tomorrow night, okay," Goku said as he ran out of the room.

            "GOKU GET BACK HERE!" But ChiChi was too late and Goku was gone.

            "OOOOOOOOOOOOhhhh when I get my hands on him....."

            Just as Goten had jumped into his bed he heard his mother doing her nightly bed checks.  When she reached his room he pretended to be asleep.

            ChiChi walked over to him and kissed his forehead.  "My little angel."

            When she left Goten got out of bed, opened his window and was gone.

            10:55 I better get going, thought Trunks' but before he had a chance to move he heard footsteps coming toward his room.

            Who could be walking around the house at this time?

            Trunks' door opened and Vegeta appeared. He stood at the door for a moment and then walked over to his sons' bed.  Vegeta sat down at the side of the bed and slowly placed his hand on Trunks' head.

            "...I know you will be able to beat Kakorots son because you are my son... and I'll do whatever it takes to make you as good a warrior as I." Vegeta then stood up and left the room.

            This tournament is really important to him.  I'll try really hard this next week to make him proud! Trunks' thought. Then he looked over and his clock.  "But right now I'm late," he whispered loudly to himself as he read the clock that said 11:08.

            Trunks jumped out of bed and was out the window in a flash, but once he left Vegeta returned. "I thought I heard something," he said to himself.

            Vegeta turned on the light only to find that Trunks was gone.

            "Gggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr where did that boy go!!!!!!!!"  Vegeta flew out the window in pursuit of Trunks.

            Where is he? thought Goten. Goten walked around the tree looking for Trunks'.

            Then he sat down and waited, but he didn't need to wait long.

            "Hey Goten," greeted Trunks as he landed.

            "Oh wow, I didn't think you where going to make it! I thought you got caught or something," exclaimed Goten as he jumped up.

            "Me! Get caught! Never!"

            At that moment Goten and Trunks felt two major power levels traveling toward them at opposite directions.

            The two looked at each other and said at the same time, "My dad!"

            Trunks ran to the tree and flew up to a branch. "Come on Goten! Get up here and keep your power level low."

            "Right," said Goten as he flew up to a branch next to Trunks.

            After a minute they heard voices.

            "YOU MEAN THE TURTLE SET YOU UP!" screamed Goku in shock.

            "Uh huh," Krillin replied nodding.

            "It's my dad and Krillin, over there," whispered Goten as he pointed at a path behind a row of bushes.

            "That's not our only problem!" Trunks told Goten as he pointed in the opposite direction at the sky.  Sure enough, there was Vegeta flying top speed in search for Trunks.

            "We're dead!" exclaimed Goten in fright.

            "No we're not! Now don't get worked up and keep your kai down.

            Luckily, Vegeta flew passed the tree they were in but then he spotted Goku and Krillin.  So Vegeta landed and gave an accusing look at Goku.

            "Hi Vegeta," Goku said unsurely.  "What are you doing flying around out here at this time of night?"

            "...Looking for my son, I suppose you haven't seen him," Vegeta said sternly.

            "Who? Trunks? No haven't seen him since dinner."

            "Well my guess is he's somewhere out here with your son and when I find them..."

            "Hey, hey Vegeta! What's the big idea! They're just a couple of kids."

            "Humph!" grunted Vegeta with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

            In the tree, Goten and Trunks where over hearing the conversation when...

            "ah!....ah!..."

            Trunks looked at Goten horrified. "Goten no!"

            "ah!...ah!...AH!...ACHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!"

            "GOT YA!" Vegeta exclaimed triumphantly as he grabbed Trunks by his shirt collar.  "You got some major physical punishment coming for this!"

            "I'm sorry dad...please don't punish me! I'll never do it again!" pleaded Trunks.

            "Vegeta starred at Trunks and then looked over at Goten.

            "And as for you!" Vegeta said raising his arm, but before he had a chance to swing Goku appeared in front of him.

            "Now Vegeta. Let me punish him, okay. He's my son so let me deal with him and you deal with yours."

            Vegeta glared at Goku and then flew away, with Trunks at hand.

            When Vegeta and Trunks where out of sight, Goku turned to Goten.

            "Now I know what you're going to say and I've learned my lesson, really I have!" Goten pleaded.

            Goku's face softened as he said to Goten, "Don't worry, I'm not mad. You just wanted to see Trunks. I guess with this grudge Vegeta's got against us makes it hard for you two to see each other, right?"

            Goten nodded.

            "Well there's no reason for me to punish you for that."

            "Man Goku, you're really way to nice sometimes." commented Krillin as he walked over to them.  "To bad ChiChi isn't."

            "CHICHI!? I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT HER! If she finds Goten gone then we are all in for trouble."

            Goten looked at his dad horrified. "Your not going to tell her are you?! DADDY! PLEASE DON'T TELL HER!!!!!!!!!"

            Goku looked at his son. "Don't worry, I won't. She'll blame me for it anyway. We'll just sneak you back in, no sweat."

            Goten grinned at his father.

            "Okay let's go," announced Goku as he took Goten's hand.
