Chapter 10: more trouble

Veggie ran out of the house & watched as his parents disappeared.

"Crud, grrr, I knew I should've got out here sooner!" he yelled as he looked up. Bulma followed him out.

"Come on Veggie, we should get back in, it's not safe yet, those over…things could still be around here." She said as she looked anxiously around. Veggie turned to face her smirking.

"Yeah, it won't be safe here for you grandma. But I'm a super sayain & I have to find my little brother!" he said as the smirk grew.

"Oh no, you better not be thinking what I think you are Veggie Briefs!"

"Well, I guess I better not tell you then! Bye grandma!" he said, still smirking then disappearing into thin air. Bulma growled to herself.

"That boy! He can be just like his grandfather sometimes!" she stared upwards before walking back to the house.

Meanwhile, in orbit, Zara & Trunks had just appeared in the cargo bay & were looking around.

"How are we supposed to get out of here? I prefer we didn't end up in another galaxy!" Trunks said as he started to get agitated.

"Cool it, this ship just seems to have gotten bigger since I left…" she trailed off & stared at a crate. Trunks stepped up to her & placed a hand on her shoulder.

"We'll get him back. It doesn't matter if we get a little lost, we'll still find him." He said as Zara looked up at him & smirked.

"I know we'll get him, no one takes my son & gets away with it. Besides, who said I was lost? I was born on this ship, I think I can remember a little thing like how to get to the bridge!" Trunks stared at her then smiled.

"You just looked a little lost, but you're right, they're not getting away with this!" He smirked back at her then heard a low thud further away. Both he & Zara turned to face where the sound had came from & saw small cloud of dust. They looked at each other before cautiously walking towards it. They peered over a large crate to see Veggie on the floor dusting himself off.

"Man, I need to work on that, I appeared five feet in the air…" he mumbled to himself before he heard an irritated cough from behind. He looked round & laughed nervously.

"Err, hey mom. Hey dad…"

"What are you doing here? You're supposed to be with your grandmother!" Zara said as she frowned down at her son.

"I wanted to help you guys rescue Eli…" Veggie said, trying his best to look innocent as he looked at his parents.

"You better go home right now or I'll…" Zara started but was cut off as the ship suddenly began to shake violently, pushing them all to the floor.

"What was that?"

"They just went into hyper drive. It'll take awhile to get home now. I guess Veggie's stuck here with us…" Zara said as she frowned. Veggie grinned as Trunks got up & went to help up Zara.

"Guess so, but he can look after himself. There is a way back right?"

"Yeah, but it's like I said. It'll take awhile." Trunks nodded as Zara said it then looked over at Veggie.

"You better be careful up here. No messing around. You have to do exactly what we say, understand?" Veggie nodded & quickly stood at attention. Trunks smiled at Veggie & took Zara's hand.

"Lets go then. We have to find Eli & fast!" He said & Zara nodded at him & started to walk towards the door. Once they got there the door opened & a figure stood there.

"Uh oh, are we in trouble now?"

"Shh Veggie, get back & hide. Quickly!" Zara hissed & Veggie ran behind a crate. Both grown ups got into their fighting stances & watched as the figure moved out of the light so that they could Trunks & Zara could see properly.

A/n: sorry, I'm lazy & can't think of anything to continue. I'll continue it soon. (As long as I don't get tons more HW & course work. I'm getting tired of school already & we're only a few weeks in! .)
