Disclaimer: Does any one think I own DB/Z/GT? No? That's what I thought.
Chapter 5.
"Can you tell what it does yet?"
"Not yet. How about you?"
"No."
Trunks and Goten had been trying to figure out what the machine does for almost thirty minutes. Still no luck. They were getting bored of this and wanted to do something else.
"Can we get a snack?" The younger boy asked.
"I guess," Trunks shrugged. "We can always ask my Mom what it does."
"Well, we should'a asked her to begin with!" Goten said as they walked to the kitchen.
-------
"So whadda you think it does?"
"I dunno."
The two half-Saiyans had just got their snack and were discussing Bulma's invention. Neither of them could make heads or tails of what it did.
"Maybe we should just ask your Mom what it does," Goten suggested.
"Alright," Trunks gave in. "But let's finish our snack first."
-------
After they finished, they set off in search of Bulma. There were lots of places she could be! Good thing they found her in the second floor living room before they had to search the whole house.
"Hey, Mom," Trunks said.
"Hey, Trunks," She said. "Hi, Goten. What have you two been up to?"
The younger half-Saiyan looked at Trunks.
"Nothin'," He said. "But, we were wonderin' what you were workin' on."
"It was a time machine," She eyed her son. "You haven't done anything to it, have you?"
Bulma could see Goten look nervously at Trunks. They knew she would find out now. Trunks looked back at Goten, then back at Bulma and said, "Whywouldwedoanythingtothemachine? Ididn'tdoanythingtoit. Gotendidn'tdoanythingtoit. Oh, wouldyalookatthetime. Wegottago!"
They zoomed out of the room, leaving a very confused genius behind.
"Huh?" She asked.
-------
"How come you get to lead the way?" Goku complained. "It was my idea to find some armor!"
"You'd get us lost if you lead," Vegeta said. "Now, shut up!"
Once again, Goku did as he was told. He wasn't happy about it, but he obeyed anyway. Vegeta was smarter, and therefore, he wouldn't get them lost. According to him, Goku would get them lost. If Vegeta said it, it must be true.
They crept down a corridor. Their shoes beat against the cobble stone floor. Another person was coming. You could hear their footsteps. Vegeta pointed up and they flew to the ceiling.
The guard rounded the corner quietly, save the loud footsteps. He walked under the two Saiyans. Goku looked up to where Vegeta was, but he wasn't there anymore. He looked down when he heard a thump and then scraping. The guard was being pulled around the corner! But by what?
Goku landed on the floor and looked around the corner. Vegeta had attacked the guard and was now pulling off his armor.
"What are ya doing?!" Goku cried.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" Vegeta asked.
"Well, why are ya doing that?!" He cried again.
"You said we needed armor," Vegeta reminded. "I'm getting my armor."
"But what if-" He started.
"Shut up!" He whispered. "Another guard's coming. Get his armor and we can go."
Goku looked back. Sure enough, another guard was coming. He spotted Goku and shouted, "Halt!"
"I wasn't goin' anywhere!" He explained. "But, I need your armor."
"You what?!"
"I really need it!"
"You're-"
"Please?"
"No!"
"I didn't want to do this but...."
Goku punched him in the face. He was careful enough to avoid the armor. The guard held his face with one hand and drew his sword with the other. He sliced at the Saiyan, but missed. He couldn't really see, considering he almost got his lights punched out. Eventually, he fell over and Goku dragged him around a corner.
"I got him!" He smiled proudly.
But Vegeta wasn't there. Where he stood, was another guard.
-------
Tiger debated whether to go back through the pasture to get the girl kitty or not. It was a tough decision, but he decided to go back and get her. Those two guys could wait until he got her.
Happy with this new goal, he trotted back to the fence. The bull stood grazing nearby. Tiger would have to make another mad dash to get by. That was ok, though. He'd do anything for that kitty. He ducked under the fence and ran by a few cows. The bull spotted him again and began to chase him. This time, Tiger decided he wasn't going to run away. He turned to the bull and waited for him to get closer.
What this cat was thinking, that bull will probably never know. All he knew was that there would be one less cat in the world. He ran closer to him. Suddenly, his nose hurt like the dickens! That cat had scratched his poor, sensitive nose! He turned around and walked back to graze in defeat.
Tiger looked down at his claws and smiled. No more bull trouble. He ran the rest of the way back to the kitty happily. After five seconds of chatting, she decided to come with him. Tiger was a happy boy!
They ran back through the pasture without any trouble from the bull. They could see the castle. A moat guarded it from intruders. That was a bad thing for two water hating cats. They walked up to the edge of it and looked down. In it were just a bunch of harmless logs and a bunch of bones. Nothing much.
They slid down the slope and looked at the log. It looked like it was almost watching them. So, being the brave cat his is, Tiger took the first step onto it. It felt like it was breathing. He shook the thought off and stepped all the way onto it. He looked back at the other cat and saw that she was stepping on too. Suddenly the log moved and opened its mouth.
-------
"T-Trunks...." Goten said nervously. "Where do you think we s-sent Tiger?"
"I dunno," Trunks said nervously too.
They sat there in silence for a while. Neither of them spoke. The two just stared at the machine. Both boys were worried about Tiger. Sure, he wasn't their favorite cat. He wasn't anybody's favorite, but they were worried something bad might happen to him. After all, he did belong to them.
"Remember when we first found him?" Goten asked.
"Yeah," Trunks said. "You picked him up and he scratched your arms alot. Why did you name himTiger?"
"'Cause I thought he was mean like a Tiger," He said.
They sat there remembering their lost cat for a while when Goten said, "Where do ya think he went? In time, I mean."
"I dunno," Trunks said. "Maybe we could find out by studying the machine again."
"Ok!"
They both started studying it again. Finally, Trunks found a switch that told different time periods. It was set on the midievil ages. Neither of them had studied that time in school yet, so they were lost.
"Your Mom would probably know what the midievil age is," Goten suggested.
"I'm not gonna ask her!" Trunks said. "She'll know somethin's up. You go ask her!"
Goten sighed. This wasn't going to be easy. He got up and walked back to the second floor living room. Bulma was still there, relaxing.
"Um...." He thought for a second. "Do you know what the midievil age is?"
"Oh yes," She said. " It's when kings and queens ruled. They had alot of knights...."
Goten didn't pay much attention to the rest of it. He was stuck on kings and queens. Boy, it would be cool to be a king! He could boss everybody around and even boss Trunks around! What he would say, would go. No questions. If only Trunks would let him think of some plans or pranks....
"Um, Goten?" Bulma asked.
"Huh?"
"Aren't you a little too young to be covering the midievil ages?" She asked.
"Oh, myMomwantsmetobeaboutassmartasGohan!" He said too quickly to understand. "Shesaysshedon'twantmetogrowupandbelikeDad."
With that, he zoomed out of the room and back to Trunks' room. As soon as Trunks shut his door, Goten began to tell him what Bulma said.
"Oh man...." He said. "My Mom's really gonna kill me...."
