Punishment

'You two are in serious trouble, I know it was your first time but this was serious and you just clowned around when you could have finished it and saved so much trouble' lectured Piccolo on Goten and Trunk's behaviour during the battles with Buu.

'They did help, more then I did any way' chimed in Videl trying to ease the punishment on the kids whilst making herself a little depressed she wasn't stronger.

'What were you meant to do girl your just a puny human and what else can you expect with a father like yours' chuckled Vegeta with a little scowl.

'There's no need for that Vegeta!' yelled Gohan.

'Why don't we just all calm down' chimed in Goten's godfather Krillin 'were all here because of our relation to these two surely we can be civil were all friends after all.'

'We are all in agreement that they should receive some punishment though' reasoned Piccolo trying to get the conversation back to the subject in hand. 'Where do you think your going?' asked Piccolo opening his eyes and staring at the two young boys who had been creeping towards the door slowly during the small argument.

'We were just going to fly away till everything calmed down' confessed Goten honestly for which Trunks hit him round the back of the head. 'Ow Trunks that hurt, why did you do…' Goten got struck again this time he took the hint.

'Would it help if we said we were really sorry?' questioned Trunks.

'Yeah were sorry' smiled Goten at his family and friends.

'It won't wash you must be punished' growled Piccolo.

'Give them to me over the summer…Sayain boot camp' laughed Vegeta to which both boys nearly cried.

'Wo guys guys, maybe we shouldn't be thinking of a punishment but for a way for them to learn' Goku sat thinking about his idea.

'Like what Kakarot? You're just to lenient or is it you don't want your son to train with a true Sayain because he'll see how inadequate you are?' growled Vegeta.

Goku held Chi Chi back while Bulma hit Vegeta for his comment. 'Maybe it is Vegeta' said Goku while laughing and smiling. 'I've got this idea though, I never learned more about life then when I was a kid and we travelled around the world, I was thinking maybe it would be good for them if over summer vacation they did the same.'

Goten and Trunks nodded excitedly anything was better then Vegeta's training. 'Can we mom pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaase?' asked Goten putting on his sweetest smile showing he could be just as manipulative as Trunks.

'I'm not sure…' mused Chi Chi.

'Come on Chi Chi, what's the worst that could happen? They're some of the strongest beings on the planet and if anything does happen they can't handle we'll sense it and I can be there in less then a second with instant translocation' comforted Goku.

'Fine' said Chi Chi as Goten leaped into her arms laughing.

'I know they're meant to be learning but it still just sounds like a holiday to me' said Piccolo as he gave the boys one of his patented death stares.

'Yeah your right okay, let me think…' said Goku.

'This could take a while then' smirked Vegeta only to get a tap from Bulma.

'….I got it!' yelled Goku excited 'you boys have to collect the dragon balls.'

'Okay no problem, once we've done that can we play for the rest of the summer?' asked Trunks.

'Oh it will take all summer if not longer' informed Goku.

'No way we can have them in a week we just find them on the radar, fly there and bring them back, simple' laughed Trunks cockily.

'Ah you see that's the thing…No flying, unless your fightinmg some one who can or sparring with one another' smiled Goku having stumped Trunks.

'What? that will take no summer and leave no time for anything fun. It's called Summer Vacation for a reason you know' shouted Trunks flying off the handle.

'Trunks what's a summer vacation?' asked Goten naively.

'You go to school from autumn to spring then you get the summer off to play, don't you know anything?' asked Trunks.

'Mom…why haven't I had a summer vacation before?' asked Goten.

'Oh Goten your studies are more important' lectured Chi Chi trying to hide her guilt. Goten pouted and crossed his arms across his chest 'Next year I want to go to Trunks school' informed Goten.

'Sounds fair' said Goku as he placed his hand across Chi Chi's mouth she wasn't struggling hard because she knew it would be good for her son to mix with normal kids.

'Yeah Goten we can be in the same class' cheered Trunks. (Trunks was the smartest in the school by far but had been left back a year because of his attitude and all the time he had missed with training and other things.)

'So when do they leave?' asked Piccolo.

'Well Goten can leave anytime but Trunks has his last day of school tomorrow…so if tomorrow Goten flies over to our place he can stay the night then they can leave first thing at the weekend' Smiled Bulma.

'Then its decided then, the search for the dragon balls begin' laughed Goku 'Just like the old times.'

Next time:- Goten leaves to find Trunks but when he gets there he finds a surprise this can only lead to trouble.
