I'm back! Can't you wait one day between updates? I'm spoiling you. I'm afraid updates won't be
quite so frequent now, I have to buckled down in my studies. I'll still probably update fairly often,
though. Thank you to all who have reviewed. Anyone who has not, please review this story! It's
good motivation for writing new chapters! Also, I have 50 reviews right now. That's in one week.
I'd say that's pretty good. Thank you! Now, on with the story. BTW, the next chapter should be
longer. Yeah, violence.
NOTE: I just re-uploaded this chapter. I used "mourning" instead of "morning." Strange thing is, I
remember checking that and spelling it right the first time through. Strange . . .
Disclaimer: I do NOT own DBZ. On the other hand, I DO own a nice collection of pop cans sitting
on my desk. Anyone want to trade?

Field Trip to the Future
Chapter 15
The Night Before
After dinner had been cleared away, everyone moved to a private sitting room, avoiding
Gohan's class. The adults had a lot of talking to do. Mirai Chichi and Mirai Bulma didn't allow
their dead husbands to get more than a few feet away at any time. Bulma was around both, glad to
see both her mate and her best friend again.
Mirai Videl shook hands with Goku, who she had never met before. "So, you are Pan's
mother?" he asked. She nodded. Goku turned to the younger Videl. "And you are her counterpart
from our timeline?" She also nodded.
Gohan paled when his father turned to him. Goku had a very Vegeta-esque smirk on his
face. "So she's your girlfriend?"
Gohan turned red. "Dad! What makes you think that?!"
Goku grinned mischievously. "Well, your daughter seems to think she is." Pan gave her
most innocent face possible. "And you two are holding hands."
"Huh?" Gohan and Videl both blinked, then looked down. Sure enough, they WERE
holding hands . . . AGAIN. "Err, um . . ." Everyone in the room cracked up laughing at the two
embarrassed teens. Even Vegeta chuckled.
Eventually, Bulma sighed. "I know I'm going to regret asking, but how was the training?
Do you think you guys can take Brolly?"
Goku grinned. "The training went really well. We're all a lot stronger now."
"Uh huh!" Pan agreed , hopping onto her mother's lap. "And I went Super Saiyan, too!"
Mirai Videl stared at her daughter. "You-you did?"
Pan nodded eagerly. "Yah, Daddy beat me into the ground until I did!" Mirai Videl blinked
and glared at Gohan.
Gohan's head snapped up. "I did not! You're just trying to get me in trouble!" Pan
giggled. Mirai Videl sighed and smiled.
Bulma turned to Goku and Vegeta. "So, can you beat Brolly?"
Goku just smiled. "Well, I really don't know. I've never met this Brolly guy."
"Oh course I can beat him!" Vegeta snapped. "I am the Prince of all Saiyans!"
Bulma sighed and Goku scratched his head. "Gee, Vegeta, didn't you say something like
that about Cell?" This earned him a glare.
Gohan butted in at this point. "Actually, from what I can tell, no one of us is stronger than
Brolly." The women's faced turned sour at this. Gohan quickly continued, "However, if all four of
us fight him together, we should be able to handle him. No problem." Vegeta opened his mouth to
comment, but Gohan continued before he could, glaring at the Saiyan prince. "And we ARE
fighting together this time!" Vegeta humph-ed.
"What about us? We want to fight, too!" Gohan turned and looked down to see Goten
giving him pleading eyes.
"Yah!" little Trunks agreed. Pan just nodded her head, scowling in a way that reminded
Gohan of both Videl and Chichi. He began to sweat.
"Um, you guys can back us up. You stay back and only jump in if something goes wrong."
The kids seemed to be mostly satisfied with this. The women were satisfied that their babies would
not be fighting Brolly. Gohan sighed. "We'll head out to face Brolly tomorrow morning. Is that
okay with everyone?"
Everyone agreed except Vegeta. "Why don't we just go find him tonight?" Before Gohan
could reply, Bulma leaned over and whispered in her husband's ear. Vegeta blinked and blushed
just slightly. "Never mind. Tomorrow will be fine. But not too early."
"Ugh!!!" both Trunkses groaned. Vegeta just smirked. Gohan shook his head. Goten sat
on Goku's lap, both wearing identical, clueless expressions.
* * * * * * *
Piccolo rubbed his sore ears. He had been stuck with the unfortunate job of informing
Chichi of her sons' disappearances. She had been screaming for the past two hours. At first she
yelled about how it was all Bulma's fault. After fifteen minutes, it became Goku's fault, even
though he was dead. A half hour later, it became Piccolo's fault for ever teaching Gohan how to
fight. Piccolo wasn't sure how that was related to this, but in Chichi's mind it was. The past hour,
her yelling had just been gibberish.
Piccolo was wondering if the woman would ever stop. Just then, Chichi threw her head back
and screamed, "MY POOR BABIES!" With that, she promptly passed out.
Piccolo blinked. What the heck had just happened? He grinned slightly. *Thanks, Dende.*
*No problem.*
Piccolo picked up Gohan's mother and carried her into the house. He set her on a couch and
left. Gohan and the others had better get back soon!
* * * * * * *
After a gigantic brunch (Vegeta refused to get up in time for breakfast) Everyone was
standing in front of Capsule Corp. Goku and Goten both seemed chipper. Gohan was confident.
Vegeta was in an unusually good mood. Mirai Trunks was sleepy, noises coming from the other
room had kept him up late. That room happened to belong to Bulma and Vegeta. Mirai groaned
inwardly. Little Trunks, who had shared a room with his future counterpart, was in much the same
shape. Were his parent TRYING to scar him for life? Pan was standing near Gohan, excited and
nervous.
They said their good-byes, and the Saiyans all transformed to level one. Videl, who had
never seen a Super Saiyan before, could just stare. As the warriors began to float up into the air,
Gohan gave a wave and a wink, which was directed at her. Videl blushed. She felt a slight jab in
the ribs an turned to see her future counterpart smirking. The Super Saiyans soon disappeared into
the distance. The women went back inside to wait. Videl hated waiting.
* * * * * * *
The mountains near the former East City were quite peaceful this morning. Nothing seemed
out of place. That is, until you noticed the massive Super Saiyan sitting on a large boulder.
Brolly had his arms folded in front of him and he sat cross-legged. His eyes were closed and
he had not moved for the past twelve hours. His bulging muscles were perfectly still. The only
movement was his very slight breathing.
Several dead birds lay around the Legendary Super Saiyan. They had thought the still form
would be a good place to perch. They were fried to a crisp when they got near him. The massive
man's eyes finally opened and his head rose at the sound of a voice behind him.
"So, you must be Brolly."
Brolly's face hardened. He did not have to turn around to know. It was him.
"Kakarott."
