Prologue
"So, first you eat everything at our house, and now you come over
here and pig out?!" Chichi sighed, "Not even a rice grain left..."
"Well, that's half way true..." Goku laughed nervously.
"Kakkarot, let's get back to training now. No more complaining
of hunger," Vegita stood behind Goku, taking the last bite out of what
was the leg of a chicken.

It was 10:00PM. Goten sighed as the cool night wind blew into his face. His eyes motioned up to the moon slowly, and then back down to the grass he'd been resting in.
"I'm booored...I'm not gonna be able to last a week without Trunks!" Goten plopped back into the soft green pillow that surrounded his house.
Capsule Corp. was quiet. All the lights were turned off except for two. Trunks was sitting in his room staring down at the ground, his new toys untouched. He heard shuffling in the hall and jumped up.
"Uh-oh..mom's coming!" Trunks picked up a toy and tossed it at the light switch. The light turned off and Trunks scurried to get into bed.
Deep down underground Brett sat up out of bed.
"Uh-oh..." Brett shook his head.
"What?" Kris sat up in his bed, which was on the other side of the room.
"We never got to summon the dragon...and I wanted to see her too."
"......."Kris slumped back into the blankets and tried to ignore Brett.
"Are you listening to me, Kwis? Hey, Kwis? Kwiiisss..."Brett jumped out of bed and pounced on Kris's matress. "Kwis, wake up!! I miss Emily really bad and I want to see her right NOW!" The bed frame broke and Brett tumbled onto the ground. Kris kicked him in the side and jumped into Brett's bed and fell asleep. Brett just sat on the cold wooden floor, staring at the ground.
Goten woke up lying in his bed. He looked out the window and sighed. A smile spread across his face. Goten tiptoed out of the front door, making sure no one was following him. He landed face first into a mud puddle, laughing out loud. Goten jumped happily along from puddle to puddle, making more noise every time his feet landed on the ground.
Trunks was awakened by a metallic claw tapping on his forehead. He sat up and pushed the servant bot away, yawning. He walked out of bed and downstairs, where Dr. Briefs was drinking coffee while reading the newspaper.
"Hey, Grampa, where's mom?" Trunks walked up to the table, smelling the coffee.
"Oh, good morning my boy!" Dr. Briefs put down the comics and took a sip of his coffee. "Your mother went out to find your father."
"But that could take all da-" Trunks stopped and a grin spread across his face. "Hey, uh, Grampa, is it ok if I go over to Goten's for a while?"
"Why, I don't see why not...hmm...your mother didn't ground you again did she?"
"O-of course not! C'mon Grampa, you can trust me!" Trunks pleaded with Dr. Briefs until he gave in.
"Oh alright. But be back before your mother gets home, or we'll have to rebuild Capsule Corp. again!" Dr. Briefs chuckled and lifted the mug to his mustache. He looked inside and held it upside down over the newspaper. It was empty.

Epilogue
Goten sat up, wiping his face off. It had been a long time since he had this much fun. Trunks wiped a few beads of sweat off of his forehead with his sweatshirt sleeve and let out a few chuckles.
"Whoo! What a game that was!" Goku plopped into the grass as his breath started slowing down.
"Gohan could have tried a bit harder, though," Vegita scoffed angrily. He didn't like losing, especially when it wasn't his fault.
"So, first you eat everything at our house, and now you come over
