Chapter 8
Lakeside antics!

Trunks had been flying for a good fifteen minutes after he had fled his home in fear of being blamed for what had happened to his mother. In short, if he was blamed for it then they would be right. "Oh, man. I hope dad doesn't find out that Goten and I made those wishes." Deep in thought, the chibbi absently flew in the direction of the Son's house. "I wonder what made mom scream like that?"


Glancing around, he blinked as he recognized the mountainous area where Goten lived. Landing in front of the small home, he was just about to knock on the door when he heard the most peculiar sounds emanating from within. Blinking, Trunks concentrated on listening to the noise for a moment before turning a deep cherry red as he recognized the voices coming from the kitchen.

"Ooooh!"

"That voice sounds like...Goten's mother!" Trunks thought and blushed as another moan filled the air, "Harder! Yes! Oh kami, Goku!"

Hearing those words, Trunks finally realized what Goku and Chichi were doing in the kitchen. Many people would think that a boy of seven would be innocent of the goings on in their parents' bedroom but not Trunks. Many a night he had lain awake due to his parents' loud activities in their bedroom not to mention the moaning cries of his mother when she hit her climax.

Curious as to what it was they were doing exactly, Trunks crept towards the kitchen window and peeked inside. His eyes widened to the size of a jumbo-sized pumpkins and his jaw dropped to the ground in shock. If he had thought that they were doing _That_ he would have never let his curiosity control him. "Oh Kami! I never knew that Goku would do that!" Trunks thought as he watched the tall Sayi-jin gripping his wife's pelvis while moving his hips and unconsciously growling out words in a foreign tongue. "Hey! How does he know Sayigo?" Trunks wondered before turning his attention back towards the couple. Goku had somehow lifted Chichi off of the counter and had lowered her to the floor. He was leaning over her with both hands bracing himself on the floor; Chichi was trapped underneath him but was not complaining. Looking closer, Trunks could just make out the wild expressions on their faces.

Suddenly it dawned on him. "Oh Kami," he breathed in wonder as he finally noticed the tail coming from Goku's spine. It flailed around wildly, in excitement only to be suddenly stopped by another lighter colored tail that seemingly came from Chichi. Eyes widening further, Trunks finally realized the consequences of the wish he had made. "If I remember what dad told me one time about when a Sayi-jin goes into heat...Hmmm, now what was it he said? Oh yeah! ...he said that when we go into heat and if a male Sayijin detects another male near his mate then he'll go into a killing ra...ge........Oh boy, I better leave. As he turned away from the window, Trucks accidentally stepped on a twig. The sound echoed loudly to his Sayi-jin ears and he paled, Oh shit! I better get out of here!" he thought just as a loud threatening growl came from the kitchen along with the feel of Goku's rising ki.

Paling further Trunks gulped and thought, Oh Kami! If I stick aroundI'm dead!" Bolting away from the house, he barely missed being struck by a ki blast as he ran.

I can't let him catch me! Trunks panted while running in a blind panic, he didn't stop until he came upon a lake. Finally, he collapsed in exhaustion, panting for breath. Wiping his brow, he stood to leave when he was tackled to the ground by an orange blur named Goten.

"Trunks!" Goten shouted excitedly while gripping his friends' shoulders. "Boy am I glad you're here! Now we can spar!" Goten paused for a moment as he finally got a good look at his friends' face. "Hey! Why is your face so red?"


"Goten! You shouldn't run off like that! Why..." Gohan rounded one of the boulders and finally noticed the new arrival. "Trunks. What are you doing here? And why is your face red?"

The purple hared chibbi blushed redder by the moment as the picture of their parents ran through his head. Quickly, he tried to explain, "Um, well....I landed at yyour house and I heard strange noises coming from the kitchen and well....I...I."

Gohan's eyes widened as the realization dawned; blushing thirteen shades of red, the half Sayi-jin interrupted, "OH my god! You saw them!!!!"

Trunks lowered his head in misery and nodded. "Yes," he replied while shuddering as another picture flashed through his mind. At the time he had no idea how close he had come to dying by Goku's hand but now the image reared its ugly head. "I barely escaped with my life!" he exclaimed while shivering. "I went to your house to see if Goten wanted to play and well...your dad almost killed me!"

"What are you talking about, Trunks? Mommy and dad were only hugging!" Goten exclaimed innocently. "Why would my dad try and kill you?"

"Well. From what my dad told me about going into heat," Trunks started talking, "Lets just say that if any other male is around their chosen mate...well, the male Sayi-jin defends that female until they are officially mated and marked and until the heat cycle is over."

Gohan blanched at the thought of his father attacking him and thought, "Thank Kami dad was to distracted by what he was doing to notice us!"

"What's a heat cycle?" Goten asked, puzzled by what his friend was telling him.


"Goten," Gohan said, getting his younger brothers attention. "A heat cycle is when boy and girl Sayi-jins go into a trance and are compelled to find a mate like mom and dad."

Goten's eyes widened as the realization finally sunk in. He smiled and said, "Oh, you mean like you and Videl?"

"What!" Gohan yelled, taking a step back in surprise. Blushing, he stammered, "N...no! We're just friends!"

Trunks eyed the blushing teenager and replied skeptically, "Yeah. Sure you are, Gohan." Trunks moved closer towards Goten and nudged him in the ribs with his elbow. "Psst, Goten."

"Yeah," Goten whispered back.

"Lets tease your brother a bit," Trunks said.

"Sure!" Goten replied with a devilish twinkle in his eyes.

"Ready? One....two..."

"GOHAN AND VIDEL SITTING IN A TREE....K..I..S..S..I..N..G!" Both Goten and Trunks sang while watching Gohan's face get redder and redder.

"FIRST COMES MARRIAGE" They belted out loudly while backing up at the sudden growling noise emanating from Gohan.

"THEN COMES THE BABY..."

Gohan lunged with a loud roar, "Get back here you little...!"

"WHOA!" Both Trunks and Goten exclaimed, bolting in the direction of Capsule Corporation.

"Trunks! I think we made him mad!" Goten exclaimed as he turned super Sayi-jin and flew faster.

The purple hared Sayi-jin followed his friends example with a burst of ki and flew along side. "I don't sense anything more coming from home...I'd say it's safe to go there!"

"All right! We better hurry," Goten shouted, glancing over his shoulder to see his brother in hot pursuit. "He's gaining on us!"

Trunks glanced over his shoulder and cursed, "Damn!" Turning around, he squinted his eyes as the domed buildings of his home came into site. Pointing, Trunks yelled, "We're here! Lets hide in moms lab!"

"Ok!" Goten replied, adjusting his flight path and flying close to the ground in an effort to loose his big brother. Finally, the door in site, the two chibbies landed and without pausing, ran inside the building while lowering their ki to non-existant levels.

Two minuets later, Gohan landed next to the building that they were hiding in and yelled, "Get back here you monsters!"

When he received no reply, Gohan went insearch of his little brother and his cohort. Stretching out his ki sense, Gohan detected two ki's coming from the main building and headed in that direction. If he had been thinking more clearly, he would have realized who those ki's were coming from. As it was, he opened the door to a sight that would haunt him forever, "Ahhhh! My Eyes!!!" he yelled, covering his eyes with both hands.

"BRAT! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING! GET OUT!" Vegeta yelled, angrily.

Sorry, Vegeta!" Gohan stammered while backing out of the house, eyes still covered. Stammering a reply, he said, "I...I was looking for Trunks and Goten! I didn't mean to...."

"THEY'RE NOT HERE! GET OUT!" Bulma's voice yelled in reply.

Gohan finally managed to stumble out the door and face the yard. Closing the door behind him, he opened his eyes and sighed in relief. Two seconds later a yell rang across the compound as Gohan realized that he had seen a blue tail attached to his dad's friend, "BULMA HAS A TAIL!!!!"
