Trunks turned a sharp corner, skidding on the carpet but managed to

keep his balance and kept running. Trunks knew he was in trouble...

deep trouble. That was why he running. Where to he wasn't so sure.

Another country maybe?

"Get back here you brat," Vegeta yelled, in hot pursuit of his son.

Trunks didn't answer and risked a quick glance back. Vegeta was

gaining...Trunks' nine-year-old legs simply weren't long enough. Of

course there were ways to fix that...

A white aura surrounded Trunks and he took off, zooming down the rest

of the hallway and out an open window at the end of the hall. Vegeta

was faster than he was but he was gaining anyway...besides outside

there were much more places to hide.

"That's it! Now I'm mad," Vegeta shouts after Trunks.

//Wasn't he already mad// Trunks thinks, doing everything in his

power to increase his speed.

It had all started as a harmless joke. Goten had spent the night a

week back, and Bulma had been on a business trip so Vegeta had to

watch over the half-saiyan duo. Of course he had spent most of the

day training barely saying a word to the two kids.

Well everything was going great and eventually it was time for Trunks

and Goten to go to bed. Vegeta went up to turn off the lights in

their room totally unaware that devious children had a little plan.

"Alright...night," Vegeta said gruffly at the door, hand at the light.

"Wait! You have to hug Teddy," Goten said, holding up a brown stuffed

bear.

"I'm not hugging it...good night," Vegeta said, and turned the light

off.

"But you have too! Otherwise I'm not going to sleep," Goten said

stubbornly.

"What do I care if you don't sleep...good night," Vegeta said and

started to close the door.

"Mommy wouldn't like that," Trunks said, with a grin.

"Yeah! I'll tell Bulma on you," Goten said, holding his bear out

again.

Vegeta walked into the room and turned the light on. Having Bulma

mad at him was something he never wanted...there were some things even

a Super Saiyan never wanted.

"If I hug the stupid bear will you shut up and go to sleep," he

asked, looking annoyed.

"Yes," Goten said quickly.

Vegeta snatched the bear from Goten and looked at it,

disgusted. "Fine," Vegeta said, with a sigh.

He brought the bear close and gave it a hug. About a second later he

threw the bear back to Goten. "Good night," he said and walked out

of the room, turning off the light and closing the door on the way.

About ten seconds later a flashlight came on.

"Did you get it Trunks," Goten asked, dropping the bear to the ground.

Trunks grinned and help up the small digital spy camera he had bought

with his substantial allowance. "I got it," he said.

He turned the camera around and showed Goten the perfect picture of

Vegeta hugging the bear.

He had only given the picture to a few people...and posted it on the

Internet. Everyone loved the picture of the Capsule Corp tough guy

hugging the bear...it was one of the top ten downloaded pictures of the

week. And of course Vegeta had found out and it didn't take the

sharp saiyan to figure out what had happened.... and here he was now

running for his life. There was no running to his mother this time...

she was still out of town, just him and Vegeta.

"If you stop now I'll go easy on you," Vegeta shouts gaining speed.

//No way...there was no stopping now// Trunks thought.

Trunks bolted downward toward a forest, thinking to lose his

pursuer. He thought wrong...suddenly Vegeta was in front of him, not

looking too happy.

"Uh...hi dad," Trunks says, caught with no where to go.
