Chapter 2: Trunks' idea
Trunks sat on the bed, in his room, and glared at his Yu Yu Hakkusho poster. He was mad. Not just normal mad. We're talking serious, super saiyan, scream at the top of your lungs, blow a hole through the earth's crust mad. He would have blown up an entire city if it wasn't for the fact that his mom would ground him. "This is so dumb. What is she going out there to research anyway?!" He asked out loud.
"She's going to research a comet. It was pretty big, so your mom thought it would be a good idea to check it out." Goten informed him from his place at the open door.
"O, really? How come you know so much?"
"Because instead of yelling at her when she told me she was leaving, I actually thought to ask what she'd be doing up there!" Trunks glared at him. "Well, maybe if I blow up the comet she won't leave." Trunks mused to himself.
"I doubt that would go well. Vanessa showed me the comet through her telescope. A lot of planets would get in your way."
"Then I'll blow them up, too." Trunks snapped. He flopped onto his back to stare up at the white ceiling.
Goten shrugged and stepped into the room, closing the door behind him. With his saiyan jumping ability, he leaped from his spot at the door onto the bed and sat next trunks.
"You're mad aren't you?"
"Wow, Goten. You sure are quick on the uptake. You certainly are your father's son, alright." Trunks voice was dripping with sarcasm.
"Don't get mad at me cuz your girlfriend left you!" Trunks sat straight up.
"What did you say?!"
"You heard me! I guess this means you're not gonna clean your room for the next six months."
Trunks was lost for words. It was true. For quite sometime, he had been keeping his room immaculately tidy on the off chance that Vanessa might stop by. She had of course been in his room quite a few times. Trunks just never imagined that Goten actually knew the reason for his constant cleaning.
"Dende! I'm that obvious?"
"No. Just to me cuz I know you best."
"O..well good...I'll kill you if tell anyone."
"Trunks, you know I wouldn't do that!"
"Good. Keep it that way." Trunks lay back down on the bed and folded his arms behind his head. He let out a long, mournful sigh.
"So you just gonna lie there?"
"What in Kami's name am I supposed to do?! Fly out to the take off site and hide on board while she takes off."
Goten felt Trunks take a quick intake of air. "Trunks? You ok?"
Trunks leaped off the bed and begin to rummage underneath it. "What are you looking for?"
"This." Trunks tossed him a small box and went to his closet. Goten watched as trunks pulled out several suitcases and luggage bags. He opened the box. It was filled with capsules.
"TRUNKS NO!"
"SHUT UP!"
"Trunks don't be a baka!"
"I said shut up! Her take off is in less than half an hour. If we hurry, we can pack some supplies, steal a bag of food capsules, and be stowed away on that spaceship before anyone notices we're not here."
"This is the craziest idea you have ever had. Your mom is going to kill you! Don't think being a half saiyan will save you! She is gonna murder you! And my mom! She'll beat the living daylights out of-"
"Look, Goten! My mind is made up! So you can either help me pack up our stuff or start pretending for the next 3 hours that the two of us are still in this room. Either way be quiet!"
Trunks went back to dumping the contents of his drawers into the suitcases. Goten sat on the bed watching him dart back and forth. Why on earth was he friends with this boy? Trunks was continually getting them into all sorts of trouble which usually ended with Goten getting a spanking. His mom would certainly tear his back side up for this stunt. He wouldn't even have a bottom after Chichi was through with him, but still..he couldn't abandon his friend. They had been through too much together for him to drop out now. Goten sighed then leaped off the bed.
Trunks smiled. "So are you coming?!"
Goten scratched the back of his head. "I guess so. I mean we're pals and all so..yeah.I'm coming."
"Sweet! Goten! You're the best friend ever!"
"Yeah, thankfully for all the poor souls out there, I'm your only friend."
