A/N: Hi everybody! I'm SO sorry it's taken me so long to get this chapter out. I've still got the writer's block, but I'm trying to work around it. Please forgive me if this chapter isn't as good as the others. I'll try to make this one the best I can. Anyway, this chapter is in memory of my little kitten, Smokey.
Disclaimer: Hmmmm.... DB/Z/GT? Don't own it.
Chapter 6.
"Oh man..." Trunks said. "My Mom's gonna kill me...."
"She won't kill you, Trunks!" Goten protested. "We just have to find a way to get Tiger back!"
"Oh, sure, that's easy!" Trunks said. "I'm sure we could just go back in time, grab him, and go! No trouble what so ever!"
Goten frowned. He wasn't sure whether his friend was being sarcastic or serious. It was hard to tell some time.
"We can at least try!" He said.
"I guess you're right," Trunks said as he turned to the machine. "We'll need to get my Dad and your Dad while we're there."
"Yay!" Goten cheered.
The older boy pushed a button and the little machine started to whir. Lights started to flash and the room began to melt away. Soon, it was replaced with blue walls. Endless blue walls. They fell 'cause there was no floor.
"Trunks, Goten?" Bulma called from down the hall. "I've got a snack ready for you two!"
When they didn't come running, she was immediately worried. She ran to her son's room to find the machine running, but neither one of the boys there.
"Oh no."
-------
Tiger looked back to see what was happening. The so-called "log" had opened its mouth and was trying to eat his girl friend! This was one thing he wouldn't stand for. He jumped into the water, swam around to the log's mouth, and saw the girl cat about to get ate up. So, he jumped out of the water and hit her out of its mouth.
The girl kitty landed on the shore and Tiger soon followed. Neither of them had time to rest because the log, or alligator, came at them. They turned to run, but found themselves facing the steep hill they had slid down.
The 'gator was closing in, followed by a few of his buddies. Tiger ran to a big rock, closely followed by the other cat. He meowed and told her to go first. She climbed on it, then jumped up. Tiger was almost on the rock when.... SNAP!
There were a few meows and a little hissing, then everything went quiet. The girl kitty was too scared to look down. Finally, she was able to look back. When she did, she saw Tiger! He had managed to escape unharmed.
They looked back down the hill to see some angry alligators go back in the water.

"What have you done to Vegeta?!" Goku asked the guard.
"I am Vegeta, you idiot!" He said.
"Oh..." Goku said. "You had me worried!"
"Just put on your armor, idiot."
After Goku put it on, he looked around the corner for Vegeta. There was a guy in armor, but he didn't know if it was his Saiyan partner. So, Goku decided to find out.
"Um... excuse me-"
"Oh, shut up and come on."
Yep. That was the Vegeta he knew. They rounded a corner and found a few other guards hurrying down the hall.
"Come," one of them said.
"Where are we going?" Goku asked.
"The two most recent prisoners escaped," the other said. "We must find them before they hurt the king and queen!"
"Uh.. er... right!"
Now what have they gotten themselves into?
-------
"Look!"
Random villagers looked up and saw two things falling from the sky. Screams of terror began to fill the city.
"Oh no..." The same poor villager, who had the run in with Tiger, said as she remembered what had happened.
: : Flash back : :
The cat had been falling fast. Lots of people were shouting.
"Somebody catch him!" A man cried.
Before any one could do anything, he landed on the young girl's face. She remembered him holding onto her with his claws and she had begun to cry.
"Why that (beep) cat! Get him off my daughter!" Her Mom had cried.
Pretty soon after that, the cat jumped off and ran down the street, leaving an angry Mom and a crying girl.
: : End flash back : :
"Mom! It's another cat!" The girl cried.
"No, it's two boys," she said.
After a while of them not landing, or falling, everybody began to wonder if they were witches.
-------
"Why are they staring at us?"
"I dunno."
"You should know."
"Why?"
"'Cause you're smarter and older than I am."
Trunks rolled his eyes. "Let's just find our Dads, 'kay?"
"Ok!"
After a few seconds of trying to find Goku and Vegeta's energy, and not succeeding, Goten finally said, "Trunks I can't feel my Dad's energy."
"I can't either," Trunks said.
"What if... what if they died?" The younger boy asked, almost bringing tears to his eyes.
"Our Dad's have been in tougher things than this!" Trunks almost shouted. "I know my Dad can make it!"
"Yeah... sorry."
"It's ok. Maybe we should look around."
Goten agreed and they began to land.
-------
"So now what are we supposed to do?" Goku asked as he and Vegeta followed two other guards.
"Try to sneak away," Vegeta said. "On my count, we'll make a dash for that door. One... two... three... four..."
"What's that?" One of the guards in front asked.
"Nothing!" Goku said. Before he could hear what he said, Vegeta had knocked the guard out. Goku took his cue and did the same to the other one.
"Let's go!" Vegeta shouted as they ran in another room.
There was one window at the end. It was perfect for an escape. Before either of them could make another move, some one behind them shouted, "Halt!"
-------
Bulma set to work in her lab. She was going to get every one back to the present time. She jumped when she heard a voice from behind her.
"What'cha doin'?"
She turned to see her oldest child, Stephanie.
"Working on another machine, Sweetie," Bulma said as her daughter walked to her.
"Did Goku get Dad in trouble again?" She asked.
"Probably," she said. "Can you hand me my toolbox?"
Stephanie did as requested. She could tell this was going to be boring if she stuck around. What else could she do? Raven. The perfect answer.
"Mom, I'm gonna go train with Raven," she said as she walked out the door.
'She's just like Vegeta.' Bulma thought. 'She looks and acts like him alot. Same black hair, she's serious like him sometimes, they both love to fight-'
Before she could think about anything else, a bolt popped loose, jarring her out of her thoughts.
"Oh. Better concentrate on this."
-------
A/N: There! Finally! Took me long enough. Well, how long will it take Bulma to make whatever she's making? Will Trunks and Goten help, or just get in the way? Find out next time! Oh and btw, what did you think of my own character, Stephanie? Review and let me know!
