It was around ten when Trunks came home and found his mother waiting impatiently at the door for him. "Sure Trunks take as much time as you need its not like your father is DYING or anything," she called out to her purple haired son who had landed about 50 feet from the front door.
"Sorry mom I took off before I finished eating so I ate there and then me and Goten were catching up," replied the demi-saiyan as he hurried to please his already agitated mother.
"Fine, fine," Bulma said as she hurriedly patted her son's shoulders. "Did Chi-Chi give you the medicine?"
"Uh no she didn't. Why was I supposed to get some for dad?" Trunks replied confusedly.
"WHAT?" Bulma screamed. "Your joking right? You mean to tell me that Chi-chi forgot to give you the bottle?"
"Oh she gave me a bottle but it doesn't have any medicine why is it important?" Trunks asked with no fear but curiosity in his voice.
"YOU! OH! KILL! AGHHHH!" Bulma yelled at Trunks who was completely lost due to his mother's incoherent screaming.
"Uh here mom why don't you just take the bottle," Trunks said slowly and carefully so not to cause his mother to go even more ballistic, "And I'll go upstairs and go to bed because I have a meeting tomorrow at eight."
"Just give it to me," Bulma said in a strained voice and she held out her hand. Trunks quickly handed his mother the bottle and quickly jogged past her into the house and upstairs to his room. She turned and followed him inside but instead of heading upstairs she went downstairs to her lab.
"Okay," Bulma said to noone in particular, "Now I can finally do this thing right." She checked the label and sure enough it said discovered by Bulma Briefs. This just caused her to redouble her efforts to create the cure and show that she was just as good as the other her.
She frowned, however, at the memory of how she had tackled the attempt to create a time machine. She had failed miserably when trying to create the incredible machine. Instead of sending things through time all she had managed was to send objects to different rooms in her house. This caused her to think that she had found out how Goku's instant transmission worked and she completely left the time machine project unfinished and went on to research this new discovery. Then this led to the creation of the Brute Ray which Vegeta had used to go Super Saiyan Four. So all in all she had only finished one invention out of three.
Bulma sighed 'This is going to be a long night, I just have to stay focused on the fact that Vegeta's life is on the line,' she thought. Thus her long night to find the cure to save her husbands life began.

Bra yawned and slapped the alarm of her clock to shut it up. She then hopped out of bed and into the shower. Then she proceeded downstairs and into the kitchen to see her brother wolfing down food faster than the eye could see. "So how are the Sons?" She asked curiously grabbing a bowl and a box of cereal to eat.
"They're good. Well of course except for Gohan whose well you know." Trunks replied after swallowing a large bite of eggs.
"Um did Goten say anything about me?" She asked trying to sound indifferent.
Trunks choked on the sausages he had shoved in his mouth. He managed to swallow and gulped down a glass of orange juice. Turning towards his sister he gave a Vegeta smirk and said, "Maybe he did maybe he didn't. Why do you care?" Trunks asked knowing full well that his little sister had a huge crush on his best friend.
"I don't care," came Bra's shaky reply then more firmly, "Why do you think I would care?"
Trunks let his smirk grow even bigger. "Well I don't know. Maybe its because you've had a crush on him ever since you could talk." Trunks always enjoyed teasing his sister about her crushes.
"What? I have no clue what you're talking about," Bra said with a face of absolute shock. Trunks started to laugh uncontrollably. "Shut up. Just tell me if he mentioned me or not."
"Hey," Trunks said "You're going to be late to school. Mom came up earlier too and said that if you were late to school today she would make you train with dad once she finds a cure for him."
"She wouldn't!" Bra hated training more than anything in the world.
"I wouldn't bet on it," but Bra was out the door and halfway to school before all of words were even out of his mouth.
Trunks laughed and continued to eat. Then he glanced up at the clock and swore it was already seven forty-five 'No wonder Bra took off so fast,' he thought, 'She already missed half of her first class.' He was already changing into his suit and in the car by the time he finished the thought.

Bra walked into her first period at West City High and had the attention of everyone of her classmates and the teacher. "Uh, Hi," Bra said, "Sorry about being late Mr. K."
"Just sit down Ms. Briefs." Her teacher irritably replied.
"Yes. Sir." Bra said and went and sat down next to her best friend while the teacher started to talk again and the students went back to ignoring everything he said.
"So where were you?" Her best friend Trina questioned.
"I was getting information on Goten." Bra replied.
Trina laughed and shaking her said, "Bra you've got to let that crush go. Goten is the teenage lady killer."
"Yea. Trina's right Goten is almost as hott as me," came Trina's boyfriend's opinion.
"That's right. Adam is only second to Goten," Trina said.
"Hey that's not what I said," Adam told his girlfriend.
Bra shook her head and said "You two are unbelievable."
This caused the trio to laugh amongst themselves.
-
While Bra was laughing happily with her friends Trunks was being chewed out for being late to his meeting.
"Mr. Briefs! Do you realize that you have been late to every meeting for the last fifteen meetings?" Yelled the current head of Capsule Corps. advertisement department. This older man had seen Trunks as inferior and took every chance he could get into getting Trunks into trouble.
'Why do I put up with this lard butt?' Trunks wondered and then answered himself, 'It's because this guy's fat ass is the best at what he does.' Out loud Trunks said, "Mr. Gomi I do realize that I have been late to several of the meetings." Trunks said addressing the man who had just berated him for being late from which a 'hmph' came from. Trunks continued, "I, however had no idea that I had been late to fifteen meetings was it? That is why we are going to conduct everyone of our meetings in the afternoon. This meeting is now adjourned I will contact all of you when our next meeting takes place."
Mr. Gomi's face turned beet red as he forcefully spoke, "Mr. Briefs, I do not believe that meetings should be based on one persons convenience. Since everyone but yourself seems to be able to make these morning meetings I think that is what we should continue."
"Mr. Gomi you are right of course if the person you were talking about was NOT the head of Capsule Corp. or your boss and since I am the boss I will say when our meetings shall take place. If you cannot make it or are tardy I will have to note it for future reference." Trunks said smirking bigger with every sentence.
Mr. Gomi forced a smile on his face and turned and left the room. The other people soon followed after him. Trunks sighed and sat down in his chair at the head of the long table and looked up at the clock. 'Eight-thirty. Well I guess I have the rest of the day off I wonder how Goten is doing at his job at his yoga class.' Trunks stood up and opened a window deciding that he would fly and see how his friend was doing.
-
'Finally' Bra thought she was eager to get home and see if her father had made an improvement. It was the last period of the day and of course Trina and Adam were in this class and of course they were all sitting in the back. Trina looked at her blue haired friend and said, "Not thinking about Goten are you?"
"What? No!" Bra replied, "Unlike you I can think about other stuff than just guys and. What in the world is that noise?"
In the front of the room a boy by the name of Keiji Kotakashowa was banging his head repeatedly on his desk.
Before Bra could yell at Keiji to knock it off the teacher asked, "Mr. Kotakashowa why are you banging your head on school property?"
Keiji stopped banging his head on his desk to answer, "Because, two years ago my parents died from a heart virus and they donated their bodies' to science to try and find a cure for the virus that they died from. Today I was supposed to get their bodies and bury them in their graves which have been empty, but I just remembered it now and the place closed at twelve." The time now was one.
"Can't you go tomorrow?" Bra demanded from the back of the class. Keiji turned around to look at her his forehead was red where he had continuously banged it on his desk. She felt bad for him since his parents she guessed had died from what her dad had just gotten.
"No. They burn the bodies if noone comes to claim them," came his sorrowful reply. Then he turned back around and started to bang his head again.
"Mr. Kotakashowa knock it off or I will send you to the dean," their teacher said. Then he turned back around and began to teach. Keiji had stopped banging his head on his desk and was now using the heel of his hand to hit himself instead. Bra took one last look at him before going back to ignoring the teacher and conversing with her two friends.

Trunks landed outside of Goten's yoga place. 'I still can't believe he became a yoga teacher' Trunks thought, 'I mean the pay can't be that good well I guess its time to surprise him.' Trunks then walked into the building.
The place looked bigger on the inside than on the outside the tiled floor glinted cleanly and the lights shone brightly from the ceiling. Trunks blinked getting used to the sudden change from sunlight to these type of lights. "Can I help you?" came a voice from his left. He turned to see a pretty blonde looking at him.
"Yea," he said, "I'm looking for Goten."
"Goten doesn't usually get male customers but his room is down the hall on the right," the blonde said pointing to the hall on the right.
"Thanks," Trunks said as he took off down the hall that he had been directed down. He looked at the doors and each door had a nameplate on it. 'Must be the instructor inside' he thought, and then he found his friends and opened the door.
The first thing he realized was that the lighting was much different than the hallway it was dimmer and more relaxing. The second thing he noticed was that their were many comfortable looking pillows lying on the floor. The third thing he noticed was that he was being watched by about forty-two eyes and only two of them belonged to a male. His mouth dropped he looked at Goten who was sitting cross-legged and was smiling at him. His eye's being the ones that weren't female. But this wasn't what caused Trunks's mouth to drop it was the fact that everyone of the women in the room could have easily passed as super models if they so chose.
"Hey Trunks come join us," Goten said in a cheery voice. Trunks was already sitting down before Goten could blink twice and he did something that his father would have killed him for. He gave Goten one of Goku's famous smiles.

Bulma stretched and yawned she smiled she had created a cure and given it to Vegeta who seemed to be recovering nicely. 'Well she thought nothing left to do but wait for the kids to come home and tell them the good news. Tomorrow maybe I'll call everyone and see if we can throw a party in remembrance of Goku,' she thought as she lay down and took a well deserved sleep.
