Cazeh: Another chapter up. We would have had it up earlier but Shasti wasn't there at the time and I didn't want to leave her out as she did write half of this chapter.

Shasti: Can't believe it! It's the second chapter! YAY!


A knock on the door was heard and Chi chi hurried to get it. Before she had gotten halfway, she had already muttered a dozen things she would say to Pan for coming home so late. When she got to the door, she took a deep breath, readying herself for the planned lecture and opened the door. "Pan, you are..." Her rant stopped short as she stared, shocked, at the man outside.

"Hey Chi chi!" Goku laughed, pulling a beaming Pan from behind him. "Shenron let me off my training for a day and I came to look for you guys. When I found Pan, you know what was the first thing she said to me?" He laughed again, despite the frown Chi-chi had managed to put on to cover her initial shock.

"Grandpa! Grandma's going to skin me alive when I get home THIS late! That's what she said."

Pan pulled a face and ran inside, Chi chi's glare following her. "So the first thing you do when you get back is save your granddaughter from a much needed lecture? I should've known." She shook her head and a smile crept onto her face, the wrinkles from old age deepening. "I suppose your hungry?" She asked, already moving to the kitchen.

"You bet!" was the answer. Before another word was said, Goku felt an usually powerful wind clashed at the back of his head, he turned and glanced at the sunny sky. That's odd. He thought.

A hand waved in front his face, and Goku heard Chi Chi's voice. "You coming or not? What did Shenron do to you?" Goku heard a faint snigger. "You've never turned down food!"

Goku snapped back to reality and grinned the son grin, he rubbed his hands together in delight. "What's for lunch? Or should I say breakfast?" He stepped inside and moved instantly towards the fridge, he opened the fridge carefully and surveyed the contents inside.

BANG BANG

The loud bang made Goku jump, he hastily grabbed some food and stuffed in his mouth. He eyed Chi Chi to make sure she didn't notice. Chi Chi was busy showing of her martial arts talent, chopping away at some meat.

"GOKU!"

Goku jumped again, and made an attempt to answer. "Weffs, Whii Chi?" He finally managed to swallow the food.

"Get the door."

Goku sighed with relief, if it was the old days, Chi Chi would have slapped him and yelled "Don't touch the food!" Goku reached for the door knob, and heaved it open. A couple of people stood outside, all made comments when they saw Goku.

Vegeta's voice was the loudest. "KAKAROT! So it IS you!"

Goten and Gohan gasped in unison. "DAD! What are you doing here?"

Bulma roughly pushed all the males aside, Vegeta snorted as she did so. She eyed Goku and leaned forward, Goku scratched the back of his head and smiled. "Hi... Bulma..."

Instead of yelling as everyone predicted as they hurried to block their ears. Bulma just crossed her arms and smiled. "Welcome back, had a good trip?"

"Well... You see..." Goku watched the audience staring at him, waiting for an answer. He continued to scratch his head. "Could you repeat the questions?"

Everyone did an anime fall, all except Vegeta, who stood cross-armed, chin up and a smirk widening on his face. "So Kakarot, you haven't changed a bit."

The happy reunion was broken by a strong wind. The group turned to see a small translucent pod with insect-like claws on the bottom slowly descending while rotating while it did so. Everyone's cherry grins (and Vegeta's smirk) turned into confused frowns. The egg-like pod landed softly on the grass, sending out waves that brushed the grass. The pod made a small noise, but that stopped as the engines where shut down.

Bulma spoke first. "I swear I've seen this somewhere..."

Everyone's mouth opened wide as the pod opened and a lavender-haired boy with a Capsule Corp. uniform and a lengthy sword strapped loosely around his torso jumped out of the pod, landeding lightly. He instantly reached down and pushed a button below the pod, and with a boom... The pod was back in its capsule, he placed the round bottle in his case and did a quick scan of his surroundings.

His eyes widened as he took in the crowd. "This isn't the time I wanted to land in..."

"Mirai Trunks?" A few voices gasped as Pan rushed down the stairs.

Later that day...

A large portion of the group had lain down on the grass, their stomachs bulging with Chi chi's cooking. Goku was, of course, one of them, the occasional burp disturbing erupting from him.

The women were inside, all of them helping out with washing the dishes. Even Pan was amongst them, grumbling along about how the men got to rest and the women had to do all the work. A sudden flash of lightning, followed by a clap of thunder cut through their mumbling of complaints and a steady drizzle of rain brought in the men.

As suddenly as it all came, within seconds, the rain, thunder and lightning were gone and everyone heaved a sigh of relief, the men because they could now go outside again and the women because they didn't have to be in the same house as a group of lazy, smelly men. Finishing the drying, the women followed and stretched out under the sunshine.

The moment they lay down, the sky darkened and heavy rain clouds rolled across the sky. The sinister clouds parted to reveal a hole, black and purple. This opening began to rotate and before anyone had the chance to step into the safety of the house, they felt a strong tug and were sucked into the revolving gap.

As the group was dragged up into the sky, a shout was heard from Goku, who was trying desperately to free himself from the current. "I don't want to go back to HFIL!" he moaned, "The food's horrible there!"

Despite his efforts, he, along with the others, were taken by the sinister 'puncture' in the sky.

The group dropped onto grass, having each other to break their fall and when they looked around, they found themselves in a...
