ACT 3: TRUNKS' BALLAD
DISCLAIMER: I do not own DBZ or "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." I am in no way making any profit on this. I swear.
Fortuna: I've always thought of Trunks singing this song, ever since I learned he traveled through time. I dedicate it to Trunks and "Rocky Horror" lovers everywhere.
************************************************************************
There were only a few more days until the Cell games. Trunks, Yamcha, Bulma, Gohan, Gokuu, Bulma, Vegeta, Tien, Chotzu, Krillin, and Chi-Chi were all sitting around watching the army's latest attempts to kill Cell off. After the first few of these incidents, Gokuu had just decided to say the hell with it. If they lost, it wouldn't matter those people would be dead anyway. If he won, they would always be brought back to life.
Trunks turned off the TV in disgust. "This is such a load of crap," he said.
"Trunks, you should watch your language around Gohan," Bulma said, more for the well-being of her son than for Gohan's. She was worried that Chi-Chi would try and kill Mirai Trunks.
"Oh, don't worry Bulma. I swear all the time," Gohan said with a smile.
"Trunks, what was it like?" Tien asked.
"What was what like?"
"Time traveling."
"Oh. That," Trunks said, then thought.
"It's astounding," he finally said.
"Time is fleeting,
"Madness takes its toll.
"But listen closely..." Trunks told them as they gathered in closer.
"Not for very much longer, I hope," Vegeta snarled from his corner.
Suddenly, and without warning, Trunks jumped up, and stood on the coffee table (I think he gets the jumping on tables thing from his dad.)
"I remember doing the time-warp
"Drinking those moments when
"The Blackness would hit me
"And the void would be calling..."
"Let's do the time-warp again.
"Let's do the time-warp again," Bulma, Yamcha, Gohan, Gokuu, Bulma, Vegeta, Tien, Chotzu, Krillin, and Chi-Chi sang.
"But, Trunks, how do you *do* the Time Warp?" Gohan innocently asked.
All the adults laughed at him. "You don't know? It's very simple:
"It's just a jump to the left," Gokuu said, as everyone jumped to the left.
"And a step to the right," Chi-Chi sang. Again, everyone took a step to the right.
"With your hands on your hips," Tien told young and foolish Gohan.
"You bring your knees in tight,
"But it's the pelvic thrust
"That really drives you insa-ay-ay-ay-ane!" Trunks belted out from a- top the coffee table, while dancing.
"Let's do the time-warp again!
"Let's do the time-warp again!" everyone sang.
"It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me!" Trunks cried, spreading his arms in the air.
"So you can't see me, no, not at all.
"In another dimension, with
"voyeuristic intention,
"Well secluded, I see all," he finished.
"With a bit of a mind flip," Bulma sang.
"You're into the time slip,
"And nothing can ever be the same," Krillin sang.
"You're spaced out on sensation," Trunks continued singing.
"Like you're under sedation," Yamcha wailed.
"Let's do the time-warp again!
"Let's do the time-warp again!" they all sang, dancing around the living room.
Meanwhile, in Trunks' timeline, Bulma and Chi-Chi were drinking tea. "Bulma, how exactly did you discover how to make a time machine?" Chi-Chi asked.
Bulma thought about this for a moment, then finally answered:
"Well I was walking down the street
"just a-having a think
"When a really great idea hit me like a well of ink.
"It shook-a me up, it took me by surprise.
"It had a yellow paint-job and a
"pair-o-lights.
"It stared at me and I felt a change.
"Time meant nothing, never would again," Mirai Bulma sang.
Meanwhile, back in the "present" timeline…
"Let's do the time-warp again!
"Let's do the time-warp again!" everyone was singing, including Vegeta.
"It's just a jump to the left," Gokuu told them.
"And then a step to the right!" they all replied.
"With your hands on your hips!" young Gohan was catching on. Finally, everyone sang the closing verse:
"You bring your knees in tight.
"But it's the pelvic thrust
"That really drives you insane.
"Let's do the time-warp again!
"Let's do the time-warp again!" they finished.
"And that's what my adventures in time were like," Trunks told them, jumping down off the coffee table finally. He fixed his hair and jacket.

Whew! It's at times like these that I really wish Trunks had some time- traveling companions, so they could sing along toos. Oh well, hope you all enjoyed. Please review. Gracias.
