Mirai Trunks looks down at the small headstone as a single tear makes its way down his dirt-streaked face. His mother, Bulma Briefs, had died only two weeks ago and he and the only other Z-fighter in this timeline were about to leave this dying place forever because of his mother's dying wish. She had wanted him and Drake to have a semi-normal time growing up, so in addition to them leaving the dead timeline Bulma had also asked Drake to regress their ages so that they could attend high school if they wanted to. He says his final goodbyes to his mother and turns, smiling grimly when he spots the other Z-fighter Drake standing against the time machine that would take them to the past. He hurries over to Drake and after depositing their things in the time machine they depart for the past and it is all Mirai can do not to break down as he takes a final look at his ravaged world and says good-bye forever.

Gohan has just finished his first week of high school at Orange Star High School in Satan City when he lands on the front lawn of Capsule Corporation. It is just his luck that the first person he runs into is Vegeta, who is disgruntled and looking for a fight.
"Brat! Spar. Now." Gohan sighs, he has no good reason to get out of the spar so he decides to indulge Vegeta.
"Fine." Gohan follows the Sayajin prince into the GR and prepares to fight. Vegeta puts the gravity up to 400x Earth's gravity and both he and Gohan go Super and start circling each other in the air.

An hour, four explosions and a blown fuse later the fight is over and Gohan feels a lot better because he was able to get a lot of the mounting frustration out of his body. That girl at school, Videl, was seriously starting to make him nervous with all her questions and curiosity. Vegeta wants to question the boy on his thoughts, but a flash of light and a very familiar ki outside stall him. ~Onna, the Brat is back. And he seems to have brought a friend.~ ~What the HELL are you talking about Vegeta? Trunks isn't due back for another three hours. And my name is BULMA! ~ ~Not that brat stupid Onna, the Mirai brat.~ With their extra keen hearing the sayajins hear hurried footsteps as Bulma races up from her labs and runs out the door without even acknowledging the young demi-sayajin. Vegeta and Gohan follow her out at a more sedate pace and look up to see Mirai Trunks jumping out of his time machine closely followed by another person and.a wolf!?

"Trunks!" Bulma grabs him in a big hug that lasts a few moments before thrusting him away and looking him over. "What are you doing here? Why do you look so young, shouldn't you be older? Who is your friend? -" Trunks laughs and interrupts his mother before she can continue. "Mother please! I'm-We're here because the future you died and our world was dying anyway so we left and here we are. It was just me and Drake here fighting, we're the only remaining Z-senshi. We look so young because Drake regressed our ages so that we could attend a normal high school like my mother wanted. My friend is Drake Lokola and the wolf is Hope." At the sound of the name the person seems to come out of some kind of trance and looks over at Mirai. Bulma sees that the person is a young woman about the same age as Mirai with long silver hair and, as far as Bulma could see, no body at all. The girl was wearing a black muscle shirt that looked to be about three sizes too big and jeans that were torn all to hell. They could see horrible scars crisscrossing their way across her arms and shoulders, but no one chooses to comment. Her hair is fixed in a messy ponytail with two long fragments falling around her face and shadowing her eyes. Her eyes are a deep violet in color, but when they see Vegeta they pale until they become white. When the girl notices Bulma staring though her eyes immediately revert back to their natural color. She smiles thinly and it looks as if she hasn't smiled in a long time. She walks up to Bulma and nods courteously. "It is nice to see a healthy Bulma finally. The Bulma in our time was killed slowly by the way the world was and the way that the people depended on her for everything. It is nice to meet you." Everyone: Sweatdrops Mirai puts his hand on Gohan's shoulder and whispers into his ear. "She hasn't learned anything about tact yet. I've tried to teach her, but it just doesn't take." Gohan nods numbly at this. The girl is horribly blunt and if Dende had anything to do with this at all, knowing him the two future warriors would end up going to his school.

~ Kami's Lookout ~ "Hey! It isn't my fault that the applications that happened to make it to the future Bulma were from Gohan's high school! Heh heh heh."

~ Capsule Corp. ~ "We'll be going to a school in Satan City. It is called." "Orange Star High School." Mirai looks over at Gohan in surprise. "How did you know?" "That is the school that I go to. I am going to kill Dende." Vegeta just smirks. Then Vegeta sees something that has him pausing and taking a closer look at Mirai. So close in fact that he is face-to-face with the boy. Mirai looks at his father and begins to sweat. Why is he looking at me that way? Vegeta then backs up a pace, walks over to Drake and grabs a hold of one of her spikes. The girl doesn't move as Vegeta examines the spike. "What is this?" Drake looks into his eyes calmly for a moment before shifting her gaze to the lock of hair that he holds in his hand. Her eyes widen and her mouth drops open a little as she stares at the ~ PURPLE?! ~ Hair. She takes the lock out of Vegeta's hand and shows it to Hope. The wolf sniffs it and then begins to.snicker? Mirai just looks at the two of them, backing away slowly. Hope only does that when there is news that is about the two future Z-senshi, but never great news only news that will set Drake off the deep end for a week. Mirai doesn't want to see that and is very relieved when Drake turns back to them with anger in her eyes, but in an few moments her indifferent mask is back on. She shrugs at Vegeta and Vegeta just huffs. He'll get the answer soon enough, even though he already has a feeling that he knows what is going on. Vegeta walks back into Capsule Corp. and Bulma and Gohan start talking to the two future teens about high school and shopping.
