"Goku! Can you come up here for a moment please!"
Goku smiled at his son as Goten beat him yet again.
"Saved by the wife. Let's just call it a draw shall we?"
"Erm…dad, look at the screen."
Goku looked where Goten was pointing to a score flashing on the screen.
"Goten 32... Goku…2! That can't be right Goten. I think your game is broken."
"Whatever dad. You better get going before mum gets angry."
"Yup. Good luck to me."
Goten chuckled as Goku hurried up the stairs to find Chichi smiling at him in the hallway with Bulma next to her looking away from him.
"Erm…what is it Chi?"
"Goku, could you do Bulma a big favour?"
"Erm…I guess so."
Chichi smiled brightly and pulled Goku into Bulma's bedroom. Bulma followed and shut the door behind her. Chichi stood in front of Goku with a serious look on her face.
"Ok Goku, here's the thing, Trunks has run away and Bulma wants you to take her to him."
"Woah back up. Trunks has run away?"
Goku turned to Bulma baffled.
"He has?"
Bulma nodded sadly and ran a hand through her hair.
"I said something awful, and he overheard it and took off."
"What did you say?"
"I said that I had been a bit disappointed that Trunks had been a boy because I had always wanted a girl…I know you must think that's terrible Goku, but he wasn't meant to hear it! It was meant to be my secret! But I told Vegeta while we were on the balcony and Trunks was outside, he heard and flew off. Vegeta's been to see him once, but he won't come back. I just need to see if he's ok Goku. Please?"
"Why doesn't Vegeta take you?"
"He wants me to wait until Trunks comes back of his own accord. But I can't wait Goku. Kami knows how long he'll stay away for! It's tearing me apart Goku. I have to see him."
"Well…I don't know Bulma…if Vegeta doesn't think you should go I can't go against him…"
"Goku please. I'll do anything."
Chichi pulled him round to face her and placed her hands on his chest. She smirked seductively and winked at him.
"So will I."
Goku visibly blushed and Chichi giggled. She looked passed Goku and gave Bulma a thumbs up.
10 minutes later
Bulma took in a deep breath as she placed her hand on Goku's shoulder and got ready to leave to find Trunks. Chichi smiled at her sympathetically.
"Good luck Bulma."
"Thanks. I'll need it."
The two of them suddenly disappeared and reappeared just as quickly outside Trunks' make shift capsule house. Bulma took in a deep breath and turned to Goku.
"Thanks so much Goku. I know you didn't want to go against Vegeta but I have to see him. You can go back now if you want. I've got my bike."
"I'm not leaving. You don't know how to get back. I'll stay out here. You go and talk to him."
"Thank you Goku."
He smiled friendlily and took Bulma in his arms.
"Good luck B."
"Thanks."
