One dark night at Capsule Corps, Trunks creeps into Vegeta's bedroom where his father is sleeping. In his hand he hold a chain with a gold coin on the end of it. Trunks makes sure his father is asleep and quietly crawls next to his bed. Trunks starts to swing the coin in front of Vegeta's face and says, in a hushed tone, "Dad...Wake up..." Vegeta's eyes open into little slits.

Trunks says, "Watch the coin...Watch it go back and forth...back and forth..." Vegeta's eyes follow the coin. Trunks says, "You are under my power..."

Vegeta repeats, "I am under your power..."

Trunks face breaks into a demonic grin, it isn't everyday he gets his father to say something like that. "You will do exactly as I tell you..."

"I will do exactly as you tell me..."

Trunks continues, "Good. At the sound of metal clanging together, you will tell me about Goku. When you hear fingers snap you will remember nothing I tell you and come out of your trance." Trunks bangs two pots together and asks Vegeta, "Now tell me about Goku."

Vegeta mumbles, "Goku...Goku...Kakarot called me Goku...Goku...My name is Goku...I am Goku..."

Trunks eyes widen to the size of saucepans and he starts to panic, "No! You're not Goku! You're my dad! I want you to tell me about Goku! Not become Goku!" But it's too late.

Vegeta's constant scowl softens and a hint of a smile comes to his lips. Goku says, "No, I am Goku, not Vegeta..."

Trunks snaps his fingers and shakes Vegeta awake, "Dad! Wake up! Wake up!"

Vegeta frowns and closes his eyes, when he opens them up again his scowl is back. And he's not happy. "Trunks? What are you doing in here?! Why the hell did you wake me up?!"

Trunks thinks, {Damn! I didn't think this far in my plan.} He answers sheepishly, "There's a monster in my room." {This always works for Goten.}

Vegeta narrows his eyes, suspiciously. He picks up Trunks by the scruff of the neck and carries him outside of the door to drop him onto the floor. Vegeta growls, "If there's a monster in your room, kill it. And don't bother me again!" He slams the door, causing Trunks to cringe at the sound.

Trunks gets up and rubs his sore bottom, {Some father. He deserves to be turned into Goku. Maybe he won't figure out it's me. Why didn't I practice on Goten first? I hope he doesn't hear any metal banging until I get to question him.} But a sinking feeling in his gut tells him otherwise.
