Author's Note: I forgot to mention in the last author's note that mirai trunks is still alive and chibi trunks hasn't quite been born yet, I know I've gone quite out of the actual story line by doing this, but I don't care, I just kinda picked a general time period and wrote my own story b/c the dbz one tends to be quite boring and b/c trunks was like the last character who should have died during the cell saga in my opinion.

'So glad I'm out of there' Trunks thought to himself as he flew away from the city and his home. It had gotten a bit hectic there as of late because Vegeta and Bulma had ended up in yet another fight and Bulma was apparently pregnant, which made sense of course. So Trunks had pretended he was going to go see how Goku was doing just so that he could come up with anything to get out of there. Of course now that he was out of there he realized that he had just about nothing to do. So he decided he might as well go visit Goku and his family and see how they were doing. He was a bit curious as it was since he had heard Goku had taken off the last day or so and had not been heard of since. It would be a long flight though, Goku's house was off quite a while so he figured he'd make a stop on the way there and get someone to go along with him. He reached out trying to see if he could find his friends kai. He got nothing, but persisted, then, he thought he felt something, faint, but angry, somewhat hurt as well and definitely exhausted from another round of training. He headed toward it with renewed purpose; Piccolo definitely just got his ass kicked by his own clones again.

Piccolo was breathing quite heavily - he had just finished another training bout with himself. He had come out slightly more successful than last time but still had not quite met with his goal. He thought to himself that this might just be a good thing anyway. After all if he always met his goals with no trouble he might have to actually start training with other people and then he'd have to be considerate about how he treated them and making sure they weren't too badly injured. 'That's enough!' he thought to himself. He got up a bit slowly and began to concentrate. He wasn't angry or anything, merely finished. He was ready for round three of his training game. This time he'd up the ante by giving himself two more opponents - totaling to 6 opponents. He was about to prepare when suddenly he felt another presence. It wasn't quite near enough for him to consider it a threat, but it was the first presence he had felt since he had arrived in this spot almost a day ago. He decided to wait out the training session just in case whatever it was that arrived really was threatening - 'Ha, what a silly thought!'

******************************************************************

Trunks noticed that Piccolo had regained his composure and probably his strength as well. He also didn't sense anymore kai's in the area, which meant that Piccolo had ceased his training session. Trunks thought this was rather odd and unlike Piccolo. 'Perhaps he's noticed me then?' Trunks asked himself. He thought he had been rather stealthy, but it was always possible that he had not, especially when he was trying to arrive unnoticed on Piccolo who was quick to pick up on any disturbance in his training ground. Trunks decided he'd have a little bit of fun and just waited hoping to confuse Piccolo. Then he remembered that he was going to visit Goku and that he had come here to fetch Piccolo and that this could take all day. He reconsidered his plan of action and instead continued on towards Piccolo.
