Episode 2 – A Failed Surprise
"I failed. I couldn't save the girl," he said sadly. "Wait, what are you talking about? You didn't bring Miss Sandra Clemson out. You mean she got caught in that explosion or are you saying she burnt to death in the fire? Well I guess it doesn't matter now. Oh lord, I'm going to get sued. Oh hell, the whole damn town is going to get sued. Why is it the time when it really matters for you to save someone, you fail? Mr. Clemson is the richest man in the state, even richer than your mom. And to make the matters worse, he is the best lawyer in the city," yelled the chief.
Trunks just stood on his knees and stared at the ground with shame. "Mr. Jackson, we found Miss Clemson by the squad car," another cop shouted over. "What in the blue blazes of hell?" the chief muttered as he and Trunks ran over. They saw Sandra wrapped in a blanket in an ambulance. "Oh Trunks, you are always pulling my leg. Sorry if I thought it was real," laughed Mr. Jackson. Then Trunks said "It's okay and sorry if I joke around too much. You should know half Saiyans never fail in these small jobs," said Trunks, giving a false smile.
After a little interrogation, Trunks walked home. "What the hell just happen? I should've told the truth about doing nothing, but I think it will be too confusing for them. Okay, let's sort this out. That mysterious guy must have saved the girl, so that solves it. But that machine or whatever it was, had a Red Ribbon insignia on its iron plate. I'm sure of it. So this means that this Dr. Rocket is like Dr. Gero. They both are crazy and hyped up on drugs. But seriously, that machine must've started that fire as a warning. No, a warning gives people a second chance, that was a sign of saying that there is more coming," thought Trunks.
As he walked home, he heard many voices inside his home. "Oh shhh! Trunks is coming. Turn off the lights," said Bulma from inside the house. Trunks got suspicious so he flew around the house. He was finding a window to peek in, but saw nothing. So Trunks prepared himself and flew down the dirty chimney. When he got inside, he made small coughs inside his dark living room. He quieted himself down as he heard his mom talk. "Never mind, it was a false call," told his mom. "Bulma, you need to relax," said a familiar voice. "Turn on the lights. Oh it is just that Trunks never got a real birthday party or even a birthday, since the death of his father. I just feel really sad on this day. Well I guess you can say this is his first true... oh hi Trunks, when did you come in?" asked Bulma. The light was flicked on, and there was Trunks standing. Trunks saw a lot of familiar faces, including Chi Chi and neighbors, in his once quiet and peaceful living room. "So this is a birthday party?" asked Trunks, even though he knew the answer. "Well this was supposed to be a surprise birthday party, but the "surprise" is gone, so you can say that," explained Chi Chi. "Oh so....," added Trunks. "LET'S PARTY!" Trunks shouted happily.
After eating the cake, Bulma introduced Trunks to their new next capsule house neighbor, Mrs. Phan. "Hi dear, I'm Mrs. Phan, as you already heard. My family and I moved here last week," she added. "Oh I remember. I was going to help you carry your stuff inside your house, but some guy pushed me away and said "no thanks" very rudely," complained Trunks. "Oh, that must have been my son, Lee. He doesn't trust strangers easily, but once he trusts you, he can be very sweet. I heard Bulma said you were a fighter, Lee is too. He has been training martial arts since he was 5. He is 23 now, so you must imagine how strong he can be," she said. "Oh how so," replied Trunks. "Oh great, here comes the Mr. Satan of this timeline," thought Trunks.
Then there was a banging on the door. Bulma opened it and said "How nice of you to visit, Mr. Jack....," Bulma was ignored because of Mr. Jackson just rushed through. Chi Chi stopped him dead on his tracks. "How rude of you to just rush through here like you own the place? I'm glad that I live quietly in my mountain home. Now go over there and apologize," yelled Chi Chi. "I have no time for that miss, I'm a cop," said Mr. Jackson in the same loud manner. "So cops own the world now. I may not live in the city, but I know my rights," replied Chi Chi. As they argued, another cop ran in and looked around for somebody. When she saw Trunks, she headed towards him. "Mr. Trunks Briefs, will you help aid the cops in one huge problem up north?"
"I failed. I couldn't save the girl," he said sadly. "Wait, what are you talking about? You didn't bring Miss Sandra Clemson out. You mean she got caught in that explosion or are you saying she burnt to death in the fire? Well I guess it doesn't matter now. Oh lord, I'm going to get sued.
