PART 7

(Back to school)

Trunks and Jesse slept peacefully. Trunks snored lightly while Jesse held on to him as if her life depended on it. Suddenly an alarm clock on the nightstand by Jesse's head went off waking her up. She sat up, hit the clock, lay back down and sighed. Trunks was still snoring, sleeping through alarm clocks was legendary for his family.

Jesse sat up again yawning and then going to the shower. As she rinsed the soap out of her hair trunks' words ran through her mind yet again.

"Jesse im not going home"

"What do you mean you're not going home, trunks I don't understand?"

"Goku did this on purpose, we were only kids when we fell in love...it's been 12 years Jesse...12 years"

"So"

"So we weren't really ready to be in love at least not in gokus eyes"

"Wait a minute, I don't understand" she spoke confused.

"Look after you left I went out to look for the dragonballs so I could go to you...I was in love Jesse and I was getting depressed because we were separated, I didn't even have a way to really remember what you looked like. But when I had them all gokus stepped in my way and made a wish instead preventing me from going to you"

"Okay"

"He wanted us to be older and more responsible, we couldn't JUST be in love we had to go through other things. And he was right, I don't know about you but I didn't know how to pay bills until I was 20"

Jesse thought for a moment letting the information sink in, then frowned "that bastard"

"Exactly my point" trunks said lying down on his back.

"Well now what" Jesse asked opening her book.

"Now...I think we need a bigger bed, tomorrow your getting a bigger bed"

Jesse glanced at trunks "and how are you going to pay for that?"

Trunks thought a moment "you always have to make things difficult don't you"

Jesse laughed "well in the real world you have to think things through...what you should do tomorrow is walk the boys to school and then go to the community college down the block from the boys' school and ask them to take an entrance test, so you can get a small degree and get a job"

"I have an idea...how about a capsule corp. two?"

"Trunks we've discussed this before-"

"Yes but I could really," trunks cut her off

Jesse sighed, "Where are you going to get the money to pay for the materials"

Trunks sighed as Jesse had before "it's called an IOU"

"Trunks..."

"No I can figure it you don't need to worry about this ok I will, I think we both need some sleep"

Jesse shook her head and then set her book down. She put her head on trunks' shoulder and fell asleep.

Jesse got out of the shower to see trunks still fast asleep. He had rolled over and was holding Jesse's pillow while drooling. Jesse giggled to herself as she dressed in her uniform for work.

The uniform was a white shirt, red skirt and apron. She put her jet-black hair up into a messy bun and put on a little bit of make-up. She wrote a small note on the dresser and then left. Not to long after she left Alex and genes alarm clock went off making both boys jump awake.

Gene and Alex's clock was a lot louder than Jesse's and echoed through the apartment jolting trunks awake. He groaned and rolled over again. He laid there a minute or two before two boys jumped onto the bed.

"Hey trunks...mom said you get to walk us to school today"

Trunks grunted as Alex jumped onto his back and began to hit his head lightly.

"Ok, okay I'm up" trunks rolled over knocking Alex off.

Alex fell to the floor giggling. Trunks sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes, while gene and Alex examined him. Trunks got up and walked into the bathroom splashed his face with cold water than walked out. Alex and gene sat smiling at the ready with his cloths.

Trunks watched them then smiled and shook his head. He took his cloths and put them on. Gene then handed him a note.

"Mom left you a note"

Trunks looked at it then at the boys. "Are you going back to school" asked gene eagerly as the left and ate breakfast. "Yeah, I need a degree if im going to start my own business so I cant get anything stolen from me"

"I thought you had to have it patent so nothing could get stolen"

"True but it helps to have a degree just incase you have to go to court, or if something happens and you need to get another job...over all a degree is a good thing to have it doesn't do anything bad for you. What time does your school start?"

Alex looked at the clock in the kitchen "in half an hour, we should start to get ready to go" After breakfast the three boys left the building and headed towards their school.

"Alright boys be good don't do anything I would" trunks smiled hugging them both, "I'll see you two after school ok"

"Trunks don't you have to go back home" gene asked

Trunks smiled "gene you guys can call me dad, and no I'm not going home, I'm staying here where I belong"

Gene and Alex smiled and hugged trunks then left. Trunks stood up and walked into the office where two women greeted him.

"Can we help you sir"

"Uh yeah...Jesse said that I had to come in and that you had to add my name to an emergency pick up list or something, she left her number if you don't believe me" trunks said handing the lady at the desk the note.

She examined the note then spoke to the other lady. They both looked at him then the one with the note got up and pulled out two yellow-orange slips of thick paper. She looked at them then at trunks. She handed them to him "fill out this open space please...on both the slips" she said looking him over suspiciously.

Trunks couldn't help but get a bit nervous under her gaze. He wrote his name and other information he had, occasionally glancing up at the two staring women. Finally he sighed, "Your staring is becoming a bit annoying"

"We know...but it's hard to believe that the two little runts actually have a dad"

Trunks sat there a minute a little angered "they're very good kids don't be judged by what other kids say...its not right" trunks stated finishing the slip and shoving it back at the lady.

She snatched it from his hand and handed him another form to fill out. He filled it out and left it on the counter just as the phone rang. Trunks walked out and into the front yard of the school. He turned and noticed that a lot of the kids we're in a big circle some running over to it.

He over heard a kid as he ran by say "you guys it's a fight come lets check it out"

Trunks wouldn't have taken any notice if another kid that ran by hadn't spoken out three names "Pedro, Alex, and gene"

Trunks suddenly felt his stomach jump into his throat. He ran past the boys that had spoken aloud and towards the group of kids. Just as he got there Alex was thrown to the floor with a bleeding head. Two burly kids were holding Gene and one was punching him repeatedly in the face.

Trunks pushed aside some kids so he could get through. He grabbed the wrist of the child punching gene and held him up so they met eye level. His feet swung from beneath him.

"What do you think your doing" trunks spoke enraged

The boy in trunks' grasp was frightened so much that he was speechless.

"That's my son and I don't appreciate it when others think they suddenly have the liberty to just go beating others up like that...what would your parents say. I know I would approve of it...now help gene up...apologize and then follow me up to the office this kind of behavior is unacceptable"

Trunks set the boy down, he took one look at gene then turned and tried to run, but he wasn't fast enough. Trunks caught him by the collar of the shirt and pulled him back in front of gene. The boy faced gene and frustratedly pulled him away from the two other boys. The two burly kids turned and ran along with several other kids. Alex pushed himself up lazily. He stood up and then quickly fell to one side. Trunks caught him and helped him walk back up to the office. Gene sat on trunks' shoulders while trunks dragged Pedro by the ear up into the office. Gene and Alex sat on chairs in a corner of the office while trunks explained what happened.

The two women looked at Pedro a bit frightened then at trunks.

"I personally think it wise to call his father...don't you" trunks asked trying to keep his temper in check.

The woman stuttered out "y-you d-d-don't know his father"

"No but I would like to have a word with him" trunks growled

The women nodded and called Pedro's dad. One of the women handed trunks the first aid kit. Trunks began to clean gene and Alex.

"Trun-"

"Shh its dad remember, you two need to learn to fight"

"Dad Pedro's dad is scum he's gunna beat the heck out of you"

"I seriously doubt it" just as trunks said that a door slammed open and somebody stomped in.

Trunks continued to clean gene up however. Gene had a black eyes and cuts all over his face. Alex had a gash in his head but it was easily cleaned and bandaged. Trunks listened as the big man behind him began to ask questions rudely. Then Pedro spoke out "there dad that guy and those two kids"

Trunks still ignored him. The big man looked over trunks cleaning gene. "A runt like you wants to have a word with me...do you know who I am" the big man questioned.

Trunks still ignored him "hey you im talking to you"

Trunks stood up after he finished cleaning gene "yes and I was cleaning my son up im sure you can wait" trunks stated calmly trying once more to suppress his anger, as he handed the first aid kit back to the women cowering behind the desk.

Trunks looked up at the big man. He was a tall muscular man with a long black bear a biker's helmet, and bikers out fit. "Well no that im looking at you yeah I think I do know you"

"O really"

"Yeah anyone can tell what dirt looks like"

The big man laughed "I don't know what you're getting yourself into kid"

"I'm not a kid, im 28 years old and can take better care of my children than you can"

"How dare you-"

"How dare I!? Look mister you need to teach your son that fighting isn't just worthy unless its self defense or in the protections of others"

"My son can do whatever he wants and if he wants to beat up your tiny kids than so be it they look like a waste of space anyways"

Trunks sighed frustratedly "look my children are ten times better than that monstrosity all o ask is if you keep your sons hands off mine, if I find your son has been picking on gene and Alex one more time there is going to be hell to pay, Alex, gene go to class I'll pick you up after school"

Trunks looked at the big man "good day"

The big man followed after trunks "now see here no one walks away from me"

"That's funny, because I just did" trunks said continuing to walk.

The big man caught up with trunks in the front yard and picked him up by the shoulders. Trunks looked down at him "what you think you can win a fight against me"

"Actually yes I do," stated the big man as he threw trunks towards a tree.

Trunks flipped in the air and jumped off the tree and landed on his feet. He jumped over the big man as he smashed into the tree behind him knocking Pedro's dad out cold.

"I guess you were wrong" trunks stated to himself as he walked towards the college. As he got there students were coming back from lunch. He walked up to the office and waited for the person before him to be finished.

This time the person behind the desk was an elderly man "can I help you sir"

"Ah yeah I would like to register for some sort of test r something, here its written down" trunks stated handing the note to the man. The man smiled then handed trunks a test form, a test booklet, and a number two pencil.

"Good luck, not one kid has passed it without taking a years worth of classes"

"Wait is this for an automatic degree"

"Yes it's the fastest way to get a degree mind you it's a low degree but it works for people who are smart and but don't want to attend college it can also help you get into a good university if you choose later on"

"Oh okay, thanks...where do I go to take it"

"Right in there son take your time, and good luck again"

"Thanks" trunks walked into the solitary room and took a seat at the desk. He immediately got started. The test was 400 questions long and he was finished in an amazing 2 hours. Trunks stood up and stretched he looked at the clock amazed at his own speed. He sat back and looked over he questions and answers making sure he got it right. He changed a few answers and then turned it in to the man.

"Wow that was fast...most kids spend a full day with this test, lets run it through the machine really quick it'll only take a few minutes, while its going through heres the second part...English"

Trunks nodded and went back to the room. The test this time was near 430 questions long and he had two write a five-page essay on one of the stories he read. He finished in an astonishing 4 hours, and just in time to get lunch. He walked out weary from the tests. The man sitting at the desks sat wide eyed as trunks handed him the test.

"Where did you got to school son?" mumbled the man

"Uh..." trunks had to think it would be odd for him to say he was from another dimension "home schooling mostly, why?"

"You got a 100% on the test, I ran it through three times just to double check"

"Oh well math always was my forte"

"I see let me run this test through, it'll take about a week for the essay to get checked"

Trunks nodded and examined his math score while waiting for the English score to come in. when it did the man once more couldn't believe it. "Another 100" he muttered.

Trunks looked over the desk at his score. "I guess I just know my English hehe" trunks laughed nervously. Suddenly a thought occurred to him "don't I have to pay for this"

"Huh? No your wife came in and said you'd be here to take the test and gave me the check"

"She did? Oh she did right I remember" he lied

"We will call you and tell you how you did on the essay next week and we will call you again a week before graduation so you can get your diploma"

Trunks nodded "ok thanks"

"Good day sir" the old man said as trunks left.

Trunks walked home hands in his pockets; he thought about the boys and wanted to check on them. Since school was right there he walked into the office. After what had happened there that morning the women knew better than to be rude to him.

"Hi can I check on my sons I just want to make sure their ok"

The woman nodded nervously and handed him a 'hello my name is' tag. Then she gave him a map of the school and which class the boys where in. trunks walked through the hallways seeing the lessons going on. The class gene and Alex were in had the door open and a mans voice was speaking about a book. Trunks walked in and stood at the door waiting for the man to finish with his instruction.

The man finished with letting the kids start on their homework. The teacher than turned to trunks.

"Can I help you?"

Trunks smiled "I'm here to check up on my kids"

"Aw yes the office called me, gene, Alex your father is here"

Trunks looked up at the two boys sitting there working on their work. His smile slowly faded when gene looked up. The boys face was still a mess. The two boys stood up and walked over to trunks. Trunks kneeled down to their eye level.

"Hey you two, are you guys alright, sorry I left in such a hurry"

Gene hugged trunks tightly not caring who saw him. Alex was thoroughly embarrassed. "Daddy" gene whined.

Alex stood their hands in pockets "we're fine" stated Alex as trunks held gene up.

"Ok Alex im gunna talk to your brother outside go finish your home work mmkay"

Alex nodded and walked back to his desk while trunks walked outside the class. "Hey gene are you ok"

Gene didn't say anything "I know its tough but you did good, the worst thing to do is run away and you didn't do that, you were a tough little guy and I'm proud of you for it"

"Dad"

"Yes"

"They made fun of us...of our family, they don't believe your really our dad" gene buried his face into trunks' arms.

"They don't have to what matters is if you do"

"Yes"

"Then we're family, they cant understand things like this gene, not like you, and I don't think you would be able to if you hadn't come to my dimension and seen it for yourself, now you don't need to listen to them, you need to listen to what your heart says, now do you feel better"

Gene nodded

"Ok then im going to let you finish your homework I'll see you after school" trunks set gene down and pushed him back into the classroom. Trunks then left and went back to the apartment.
