The Z-fighters landed not to far from their old friend.
"Trunks!" Gohan cried and grinning he ran up to him. Chibi Trunks scratched his head and looked at his best friend Goten, who shrugged.
"Hi!" the Trunks from the future said, "Wow, Gohan? Is that really you?" Gohan nodded, still grinning like a fool. Mirai Trunks grinned back "You've grown!" he exclaimed.
"You didn't expect me to stay small forever did you?" Mirai Trunks looked at Gohan and his smile faded a bit. He looked so much like the Gohan who had trained him. Mirai Trunks was about to say something when he caught sight of a young boy with purple hair tugging at Vegeta's shirt.
"Dad?" the kid asked and Mirai Trunks' smile grew once more. "Who's that?" Vegeta actually smiled again as he looked at Mirai Trunks.
"That's Trunks, Son." Vegeta said. Now Chibi Trunks was thoroughly confused.
"But I'm Trunks!" he said pointing to himself and Mirai Trunks looked at Vegeta for permission. When he received a nod he knelt down so he was at eye level with his younger self.
"How old are you?" Mirai Trunks asked kindly. He felt a little awkward to call this kid by his name. Chibi Trunks drew himself up to his full (if minimal) height.
"I'm eight!" he said full of pride. Mirai Trunks grinned.
"I'm 26." He told him.
"And your name is Trunks too?" Goten asked. He had come out of his hiding place behind Gohan's legs. Mirai Trunks looked at this new kid who resembled Goku, even to the way his hair stuck out.
"Yes, but what's your name?"
"This is my brother Goten." Gohan said laying a hand on his little brother's head. Mirai Trunks smiled and shook his head in wonder. So much was different here than back home in his time.
"Am I named after you?" Chibi Trunks asked.
"No, not really." Mirai Trunks told him. "I am you."
"WHAT!"
"I'm you," Mirai Trunks repeated, "just from the future." Chibi Trunks was skeptical and looked at his dad, but Vegeta was gazing at Mirai Trunks.
"Now hold on a second!" Videl said walking up next to Gohan. "You're from the future?" when Mirai Trunks nodded Videl looked at Gohan. "And you believe this guy?!"
"Videl! He really is from the future!" Just then, a plane came soaring in and landed in their vicinity. Bulma leaped out of it and ran to them. Mirai Trunks stood up smiling again.
"Trunks!" Bulma exclaimed and gave him a big hug. "How've you been?!"
"What happed with the androids?" Gohan inquired.
"What exactly is going on?" Chibi Trunks mumbled to himself. Although this new guy kinda looked like him, there was no way that he was Trunks. He can't be from the future!
"To make a long story short," Mirai Trunks began, "I defeated the androids no problem."
"And Cell?" Gohan pressed.
"Cell too. We're all living in peace now, still rebuilding but we haven't had any supper villains appear."
"That's good." Bulma said than punched him in the shoulder, "I've been worried about you, you know!" she said and Mirai Trunks laughed.
"I know Mom." He said and Chibi Trunks crossed his arms. Then suddenly, rage crossed Mirai Trunks' face and his hands made fists clenched to his side. His jaw was clenched shut, shoulders tight, knuckles white, and he trembled in his rage. Everyone turned around to see what suddenly got Mirai Trunks so angry. The answer was landing right behind them. Number 18.
