Author's note: Hey all… before I start I would like to say that some of the ideas from this story were not originally mine. Kat Ouji brought them to my attention. So thanks for the help… I'm glad to see so may reviews on my first two chapters and I hope everyone continues to like reading this story. On with the fic.

Mystical Ball

' I'm pretty sure Goten will enjoy this stuff that I am going to give him…. I plan to make this a Christmas he will never forget.' Trunks thought as he went on his way home. The hour was getting late and he had already missed lunch and most of his training session. This barely affected the young Saiyan as he continued walking.

The sun was starting to go down. Darkness started to blanket the whole area. Trunks' Saiyan vision didn't seem to have much trouble with the darkness around him. He continued walking but the young prince accidentally tripped on the ground. Lucky none of the presents were broken because of his quick reflexes. Trunks sighed with relief. ' Geez that was close… it would have really sucked if I had broken all this stuff.' Trunks looked back at the area he had tripped.

As he looked Trunks noticed something shiny in some rocks. Trunks became curious of what the object could be. He powered up his white aura a little bit so he could see the object. He reached out of it and took it in hand. Trunks examined the object. The ball was about the size of a dragonball but a bit larger. Another difference was it wasn't the same color, as Trunks rotated it the ball seemed to be changing colors. Trunks was amazed by the ball he found. Trunks also noticed there was a dragon around the ball it that looks like Shenron. " This would be so wonder for Goten to have… I bet he would like to look at it for hours upon hours. I wonder where it came from…" Trunks shook his head and didn't think much more of it. The young prince walked home without many incidents.

By the time he got home, his mother was already preparing dinner. Trunks opened the door and was hit with the heavenly smell of his mother's cooking. He smiled.

' She cooked my favorite…' He walked into the kitchen. " Hi mom. I'm back…"

Bulma turned around smiling at her son. " Welcome back Trunks… so did you get everything you were looking for?"

" Sure did… I think I out did myself this time around." Trunks went back into his pocket. " See what I found on my way home?"

Bulma looked at it. She too was amazed by its craftsmanship. " My o My Trunks… this is just stunning… Planning to give it to Goten?"

Trunks nodded. " Yeah I plan to… Goten should like it… Everyone knows how Goten likes Dragons… I told him about Shenron a few times and he wanted to see him and stuff… so I thought this would be special."

Bulma smiled at her son. " You are very thoughtful young man. You will be quite the husband when you grow up."

" Not if I have anything to say about it." Vegeta said as he walked in with a towel hanging over his shoulders. " My son will grow up to be a warrior first… then we will think about mating…"

Bulma laughed slightly at her husband. " How did I figure that is what you wanted… well anyway…. Don't you think that your son has great taste… look at this gift Trunks is going to give Goten." She held up the ball that Trunks had showed her. The ball once again started to glitter with color.

Vegeta stared at the ball for a moment. For the first time in a while did something catch his eyes like that. And I think everyone else knows what the first thing was…Bulma. " That is just amazing… I haven't seen anything quite like it in all the universe…."

Bulma smiled. " Well I guess that's another thing my son inherited from his father… his good taste in mystical objects."

Vegeta smirked. " A prince always has good taste." He gave Bulma a small kiss.

" In everything he has."

Trunks looked rather uneasy hearing his parents talk this way to each other in the kitchen. He cleared his throat. " I hate to interrupt this nice little chit chat among adults but can I have that ball back…"

Vegeta snapped out of his 'trance' and gave his son back the ball. " Here you go son…"

Trunks smiled back at his father. " Thanks… I'm just going to put this stuff back upstairs."

" Hurry up young man… dinner is almost ready…" Bulma told her son as he was going to his room. " And don't forget to wash your hands!"

" I will mom…" Trunks called back. Trunks walked up to his bedroom placing the bad of gifts on the floor. ' I will wrap those up later…' He took out the ball from his pocket. ' But this little beauty… I will give to Goten specially…' Trunks puts it back in his pocket and walks into the bathroom and watches up. Trunks quickly dries his hands and walks back to the kitchen. " All ready…."

Bulma smiled as she began to serve the dinner to everyone. " Just in time Trunks… dinner is just about to be served."

Trunks sat down in his usual place next to his father. Bulma served him and her son their food. As Bulma sat down with her food Vegeta had his eyes closed and started to mutter something in his native tongue. After what seemed to be a few sentences were done Vegeta opened his eyes again and started to dig in. Bulma looked at her husband. " What was that about?"

Vegeta looked up from his plate and turned his attention to his mate. " What was what about woman?"

" That muttering… what was it about?" She asked again.

" A Saiyan tradition…" Vegeta said.

" I see… care to teach me about it some time?" Bulma inquired.

Vegeta was half surprised that Bulma requested something like that. " If you are that interested… I will teach you but as anything in Saiyan tradition… it takes practice."

" I'm committed to learn… I made you learn stuff about my culture now I will learn more about yours…"

" Then it is settled…" Vegeta turned his attention back to his food and continued to eat.

Trunks remained silent during the whole thing. ' I do indeed Goten does enjoy my gifts… most of all this ball… I want my best friend to enjoy this holiday like never before!'

To be continued…

Hey everyone. How was that? I hope it was good. Once again I say that the ball idea was not mine from the start… and I thank Kat Ouji for saying that to me… It gave me some really cool ideas for this story when I really needed it. So I hope you all enjoyed it. Please review. Till next time
