Just a little side note, Mirai Trunks is from the future where Goku died from the heart virus. You all should know what I'm talking about anyhow. Anyway, as my lawyers keep telling me, I really *don't* own the characters of DBZ. That's right. Nothing. No Goku, no Vegeta, no Gohan, no Trunks! But I'm not giving up that easily! I'll find a way, I promise you! Tigerlily won't rest until she has her own Mirai Trunks!

Anyway, enjoy the story.

The Return of Mirai Trunks Chapter Two:

{In The Normal Timeline}

"Damn! I'm not gonna make it in time!" Mirai Trunks cried as he too raced towards the Gravity Chamber after the kids.

The little girl reached the door to the Gravity Chamber in record time. She didn't even bother to knock as she opened the door, and raced right in. Mirai Trunks winced as he saw Trunks follow a few seconds later.

"For the love of Kami, *please* don't let Father kill them!" Mirai Trunks murmured before racing after them.

The sight that greeted him, nearly made his heart stop! This had to be some kind of mirage. His eyes had to be playing some kind of trick on him, right? There was no way what Mirai Trunks saw before him could be really happening.could it? There was no way what was happening right infront of his eyes could be real. Yet, there it was! Mirai Trunks rubbed his eyes, amazed by what he was seeing.

The little girl had run right up to Vegeta, Trunks stopping a few feet away from them. Vegeta reached down and actually lifted the girl up, and placed her on his shoulder.

"Dad. Mom says you'd better get your butt inside. She said your dinner is getting cold, and she's not warming it up for you again." Trunks said as Vegeta growled.

"Damn woman! No one orders the great Prince Vegeta around!" Vegeta grumbled.

"But, Papa. You have too. Mommy'll be *really* mad if you don't." The little girl said. Vegeta 'hmph'ed, then turned his head to look at the little girl, a half-smirk, half-smile on his face.

Mirai Trunks stared in shock at his father and the two kids. Was his father actually.smiling? At this little girl? Vegeta knew how to smile?

"Hey. Who's that?" The little girl suddenly asked, pointing to Mirai Trunks standing in the doorway. Vegeta looked where his daughter was pointing as Trunks turned around, curious to see what his little sister was talking about. Vegeta smirked as his eyes landed on Mirai Trunks.

"Came back, did you?" Vegeta asked.

Mirai Trunks was too stunned to move, as Vegeta smirked once again as he walked past the young time traveler, and headed towards Capsule Corp. The little girl sat happily on Vegeta's shoulder, Trunks walking a few feet behind his father. Trunks looked over his shoulder to look at this stranger, who seemed familiar somehow.

"Vegeta! How many times to I have to tell you?! When I say it's time for dinner, that means now! Now when you feel like it! I'm not gonna say it again, got it?! It happens again, you'll sleep on the couch for a week, got me?" Bulma said as she stalked towards Vegeta.

"Hmph! Shut up already woman! Stop you're nagging! I was training, get used to it! And don't send the brat in again! He interrupted my training! The *he* show up, gawking like he's never seen a Saiyan train before!" Vegeta said as he pointed over his shoulder.

"What?" Bulma asked puzzled as she looked behind Vegeta, and stared in shock at Mirai Trunks. Vegeta 'hmph'ed, then continued on into the house, with Trunks following behind him, and the little girl still on his shoulder.

"Trunks? Is that really you?!" Bulma cried. Mirai Trunks blinked at her surprised.

"Mom?" Mirai Trunks asked. Bulma looked at her son strangely.

"Are you alright? Are you feeling ok?" Bulma asked as Mirai Trunks shook his head.

"I don't know. I think I'm seeing things. Was Father actually.being *nice*. to that little girl? Who is she?" Mirai Trunks asked. Bulma smiled brightly at her son.

"I know. Strange isn't it?" Bulma asked.

"That's an understatement." Mirai Trunks said.

"That was Bra, your.Trunks' little sister. Cute isn't she?" Bulma asked.

"I think.I need to sit down." Mirai Trunks said.

{Meanwhile, inside Capsule Corp}

"Dad, who's that guy with the cool looking sword?" Trunks asked as Vegeta smirked at him.

"You." Vegeta said. Trunks looked at his father like he was crazy.

"But Papa, that can't be Trunks! Trunks is right here." Bra said. Vegeta set her down, before going to take a shower.

"Ask the woman. She'll tell you." Vegeta said, disappearing into the bathroom. Trunks and Bra looked at each other for a split second, before racing outside.

"I don't understand. *How* did you get here? *Why* are you here? How long will you be staying? Do you have a place to stay? Are you hungry, I was just making dinner.?" Bulma began at once. Mirai Trunks smiled at his young mother.

"I used the Time Machine, for training, don't know, no, and sure." Mirai Trunks said. Trunks and Bra raced up to Bulma, who quickly took notice of them, smiling as she looked down at her children.

"Yes, yes, I know. You're hungry. You're Saiyans. You're always hungry. I'm coming." Bulma said with a smile. Bra tugged on her mother's pant leg.

"Mommy? Who's he? Papa said he was Trunks, but.Trunks is right here." Bra said, pointing to the teenage boy, looking curiously at Mirai Trunks.

"It's a long story honey. Go on inside, and I'll explain after dinner, ok?" Bulma said, Bra and Trunks hesitated briefly, and then nodded, before racing inside.

"She was born eight years after you went back home. Oh, that's right! There's a lot that's happened since then! Are you ever gonna be surprised! But first things first. Come inside." Bulma said, ushering him inside.

While Trunks and Bra sat at the table, eating their food, Bulma and Mirai Trunks sat in the living room as Bulma explained what had happened since Mirai Trunks left for his time.

"First of all, there's a lot you're not gonna believe, but it's all true. Now, where should I start? Oh, I know, I'll start with Bra. First off, as I told you, she was born eight years after you left. Vegeta has moved in for good, and he's actually been a pretty good 'Father' figure for Trunks and Bra. He loves them both very much, but you know your father, he'd rather die than admit it. He's really protective of Bra too. She's his little 'Princess'. He really has changed." Bulma said and Mirai Trunks couldn't help but smile.

Trunks and Bra listened intensely from the dinning room, neither really paying much attention to their food. Instead they sat listening to their mother's conversation with this strange young man.

"I don't get it. He looks just like you, Trunks, but older." Bra said. Trunks looked at his sister, then back to the guy in the living room. He did look like an older version of himself!

"Didn't the woman ever tell you spying is rude?" Vegeta asked, smirking as Bra and Trunks jumped at the sound of their father's voice.

Vegeta glanced over the heads of his children, to look at Mirai Trunks. A smirk crept to his lips as he imagined the shock the brat from the future was in for.

"Papa? Who *is* he?" Bra whined as Vegeta looked at his daughter.

"He's from a different timeline, Princess. He's from a world we never had to live in. a world where the Andriods took over and destroyed pretty much everyone and everything. The same Andriods, that Kakarrot, his son, their friends, and I defeated long before you were born. The brat was only a baby." Vegeta said.

"Andriods? You mean like Marron's Mom?" Bra asked as Vegeta nodded.

"As a matter of fact, yes." Vegeta said. He headed towards the living room, Trunks and Bra close behind him.

"Wow! No kidding Mom?" Mirai Trunks asked as Bulma smiled.

"Wait 'til you hear this, Trunks. First of all, Goku and Chichi had a second son, named Goten, who was born after the Cell Games. Krillin married Eighteen, and they have a daughter, named Marron. Gohan married his high school sweetheart, Videl Satan. You know, the daughter of Hercule Satan? Anyway, they have a sweet two year daughter named Pan." Bulma said, enjoying the shocked expression on Mirai Trunks' face.

"I..I can't believe it. It's amazing!" Mirai Trunks said.

"You're gonna love this, Trunks. Goku came back for what was supposed to be one day to fight in the World Martial Arts Tournament, but ended up being restored to life." Bulma said as Mirai Trunks stared at his mother, stunned.

"You mean.?" Mirai Trunks asked, as Bulma smiled.

"Yup, Goku's alive and well...well, maybe not mentally...he was never mentally well, I guess.but you know Goku. He's the same as always." Bulma said.

Trunks and Bra walked over to their mother, as Vegeta stood in the doorway.

"Woman! Where the hell is the charbroiled garbage you call my food?" Vegeta asked as Bulma glared at her mate.

"It's on the stove, Vegeta! Why didn't you open your eyes first instead of your mouth for a change?" Bulma asked. Vegeta growled something low in his throat, before turning back to the kitchen.

"Of course, then again, Vegeta's as big an ass now as he was when you left fourteen years ago." Bulma said, gesturing towards the kitchen.

"I HEARD THAT WOMAN!" Vegeta roared as Bulma, Trunks, Bra started laughing, Mirai Trunks still to stunned by this new development.

"Mom will never believe this in a million years." Mirai Trunks mumbled under his breath.
