"Business? About what?"
"I didn't just enter your mind to play a game of shurades. I came to talk about a mission I have for you."
"What kind of mission?"
"First the reward: I will, for you, change the threads of time and space to give this to you. I can put you in this world. This painfree world were you can live forever."
"But what about the Bulma and Trunks that are already here?"
"They will be erased and be replaced by you and your own son. They will belive you were always there and there was no other Bulma."
"What's the catch?"
"You ARE smart. Yes, there is a price. Just a small one though something YOU could manage. I want you...... to destroy the Dragonballs."
"Never. The Dragonballs help us save our fallen comrads. I would never destroy them."
"Think about it. I new life, free of destruction. You would never need them. Why would you? You friends would all be alive. No need to wish them back. Anyway, isn't it so hard to find them when you need them?"
"I...... never thought of it that way."
"You see? So, will you do it? For your son?"
"I want a promise from you."
"About what?"
"My son will be safe from harm."
"Fine. I promise."
"I want your word."
"Alright. I swear by my real name no harm will come of your son by my hand."
Bulma nodded to the vision of Chi-chi.
"What now?"
"You wake up."
Chi-chi snapped her fingers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Elder Bulma shot up. She was wearing a set of night clothes and sitting on the couch wrapped in a blanket. She looked over and saw her son fast asleep on the floor. He look like he had fainted and went to sleep the way he was haphazardly laid. Bulma got up and kissed him on the forehead. His eyes fluttered open.
"Mom?"
"It's okay Trunks. Go back to sleep."
"You okay?"
"Not really but you need your sleep."
"I'm okay. If you need to talk."
"It's just........ I had a wierd dream."
"What about?"
"You mostly. You kept getting young then older. Like you were a little boy and your grown-up self."
She looked at his curious face.
"Much like you always have been. Anyway, the andriods showed up."
"The andriods! what happened?"
"You attacked #17 and..... disappeared. But the andriod wasn't really the andriod it was something else."
"Something else?"
"It was a shapeshifter or something like that. He kept changing into differant people we know. Then it asked me to......."
"To what?"
"To take good care of you and not to worry about you like I do. I told him the second part was immposible. I'll always worry about you."
Bulma kissed him again on the forehead and laid back down. He laid back down and they both closed there eyes.

"Hey Trunks! Is big Trunks here?"
"With papa in the big ship."
"Thanks Trunks."
Gohan peeked into the gravity chamber. Vegeta and Trunks were busy blooding eachother. They were both in super sayian mode and totally covered with bruises and cuts. Vegeta had put the gravity on 500 Gs and set the 10 hoverbots on 'kill on sight' so neadless to say, Trunks was having fun.
"What's wrong boy, can't take it?"
"I hate to tell you this papa, but I LET you win yesterday."
"LIER!"
Trunks got a nice hit in the face for that one but he came around with a roundhouse to Vegeta's back, knocking him into the side of the ship. Two bots fired at Vegeta once he hit, giving Vegeta slim to none chance of not getting killed. Fortunatly for us, he got lucky. He powered up a ki blast which easy vaporized the shots within it. The blast got bigger.
"DIE!"
Vegeta fired at Trunks.
"YAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
Trunks flew at the blast and slammed his elbow into it. The energy burned his skin raw. He came forward with his other arm and focus enegy in it. He built up a ki wave and fired point black at Vegeta, pushing his fathers blast back too. Gohan saw what was coming and ran for it.The two energy blast hit Vegeta and he screamed. The side of the ship grew hot with the energy then exploded. The gravity shorted out and Trunks suddenly relized what he did.
"Papa! Oh no."
He rushed down to the rubble. He threw the pieces out of the way franticly searching for his father. He lifted a large piece of metal and saw the unsuper sayian body of Vegeta. He gave a raspy couch and opened his two black eyes.
"Oh thank Dende."
"I don't need your help." Vegeta said with a raspy weak tone.
"Nice try. Give me your arm."
Vegeta didn't have the strength to argue so he offered his arm to his elder son. Trunks helped him to his feet. Vegeta limped back into the house with Trunks just barly walking himself.
"Looks like you could use a senzu bean. I figured you two would get streight to training so I brought some of my own."
He handed two to Vegeta who greedily ate them.
"Here Trunks."
Trunks swallowed the small bean and felt his strength return. He was still black and blue but he felt better. They all went in the house.
"Hey Trunks, were'd your mom go? My mom wants to meet her."
Trunks half-calapsed onto the couch. Vegeta sank into his chair. Chi-chi and Bulma came into the living room, each holding there son.
"Hey mom." Gohan said as he ran up to her.
"Hi sweetheart. Why Trunks, your looking awful. Why is it men always have to fight eachother right after they see eachother?"
"Don't be hard on them mom. Trunks is bored. So is Vegeta. Fighting is just are way of sizing eachother up."
"And besides, it's fun!"
"Mommy, can I play with Gohan's little brother?"
"No Trunks, he's still to little. Maybe when he gets a little older."
"No name yet Gohan?" Elder said as he pulled his chard shoes off.
"Nope. It's pathatic isn't it?"
"Na. You just don't have the right inspiration yet. It's like writing, you just have a bad case of writer's block. The best cure is to do anything but write. I would spar with you but i'm bushed."
"It's okay. So where's your mom?"
"She's not in here? That's weird. I better go see where she went to."
"I'll go with you."
Trunks pulled out a capsule from his pocket.
"I'm gonna change reall fast."
"I'll wait outside."
"I'm going to."
Gohan and Trunks both looked at Vegeta like he had just said he didn't hate Goku.
"Don't look at me like that! It's still Bulma."
"Okay, but I'd change if I were you."
Vegeta spat at Trunks remark but got up anyway. After they left, Gohan looked at the two woman.
"I have a bad felling about this."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Mr. Popo you still have the Dragonballs?"
"Don't worry Dende. There totally safe with me."
"The evil........ it's coming."
"Oh my! Is it coming here?"
"Not that I know. The evil knows it's being tracked it's covering itself. It's getting ready to strike."
"Is it time to warn the others?"
"No not yet. If the evil sences they're on alert, it'll be impossible to find."
Suddenly Mr. Popo heard something.
"Someone's coming. It sounds like a...... plane."
"I hear it to. I'll check."
Dende's sences bounced off the craft like sonar.
"It's Bulma. She must be coming for somemore senzu beans."
The plane come to the platform and landed. The door opened and out stepped a woman. Dende was shocked at what he saw. It was Bulma, but not Bulma. Something was differant about her.
"Hello guys."
"I didn't just enter your mind to play a game of shurades. I came to talk about a mission I have for you."
"What kind of mission?"
"First the reward: I will, for you, change the threads of time and space to give this to you. I can put you in this world. This painfree world were you can live forever."
