There was a sudden shift in the timeline and up in other world future Gohan was chatting with Future Goku.
"To think I had another son and I never knew it. I had died before his arrival, so I never was able to be with him. Is he just like us? A z warrior who is willing to fight?" says Future Goku as excited as he was confused.
"The moment he appeared to us, I thought it was peculiar seeing a 10 year old human with your hairstyle. Even now, he denies everything about you being his father. At first he seemed normal enough, being like all humans who get emotional, anxiety ridden, never once enjoying things for what they were. You'd suspect he was all human with no saiyan attributes. Trunks and I always wanted to see if his saiyan powers were dormant but no luck and now that I'm dead, I'll never get to see if you are his father, like you are mine. It was nice having a brother around my age, but...he felt out of place. And still probably does. Until he knows the truth of his father, he doesn't know his origins." says future Gohan.
"Suddenly ending up in another world with unfamiliar faces would be troublesome." says future Goku looking up.
"Hey dad...?" wonders future gohan.
Future Goku curiously looked at future Gohan then thought he knew what he was thinking and smiled chuckling as he got up.
"Are you thinking of sneaking back to earth?" wonders future Goku.
"What? Us sneaking to earth when we can't do that?!" wonders future Gohan shocked.
"So, you're not curious about how things are back on earth?" wonders future Goku.
"If we were able to sneak away, you would've been doing it all while THE ANDROIDS MASSACRED CITIES!" says Future Gohan getting angry.
"Hey, hey, chill Gohan. I can never get over the way your face looks." says future Goku trying to ease future Gohan while sweat dropping.
"I'll only accept it if an enemy appears." says future Gohan tilting his head in annoyance.
"Awwwwww, you're no fun." says future Goku slumping down.
Future Gohan watched Future Goku drag himself away and huffed unamused motioning him to come back.
"Alll riiight, Trunks deserves to see me again but I can't be toooo sure what Ash will think of you." says future Gohan getting up.
"Talking like that will get no one anywhere." says Future Goku.
Earth...
Once the time machine landed, the duo hopped out, put the time machine back in its capsule and went up to capsule corp door and awkwardly looked at each other before reaching for the door.
"What should we say?" wonders future Mai.
"It's not so much what should we say as much as it is what we'd beable to get out of our mouths upon seeing mom." says future trunks.
"Well, it's better now rather than never." says future Mai watching future trunks turn the nob.
The door creaked open and the duo peered in wondering if anyone was home.
"Should we go back some other time?" wonders future Mai.
"No. Let's just get this over with so everything could go back to normal. As normal as it can get with doubles walking around." says future trunks.
"You first." says Future Mai.
"No...you." says future trunks.
"It's your house." says Future Mai.
"Technically yes and no." says Future trunks.
The door swung open and in they went in search of future Bulma, chanting 'It'll be weird seeing another version of us' in their heads.
"Ummm mom?! You home?!" wonders future Trunks.
'I'm in here dear!' says future Bulma from the dining room.
"Mom! Don't freak!" says Future trunks heading toward the dining room.
'What are you babbling on about?' wonders future Bulma.
"It's a long story I'd rather not say." says future Trunks.
'Not say?' wonders future Bulma.
Future trunks and future Mai made it to the dining room where future Bulma was gazing at the Christmas tree.
"Mom...I'm just gonna flat out say it-"
Future Bulma looked back at future trunks and future Mai and was taken aback by the outfits they wore.
"Those aren't the outfits I saw you guys in. Why do you look like you're heading into a war?" says future Bulma.
"Yeah...about that..." says future trunks looking down.
'Mom! We're back with more Christmas decorations!' came a voice that was similar to the trunks standing near Future Bulma.
"In here!" says Future Bulma going wide eyed.
"Mom...? I said no freaking out. I have a good explanation." says future trunks trying to ease future Bulmas mind.
"How...is there...?" wonders future Bulma hesitant to move.
"Mom...please. We are from a future ahead of this time." says Future trunks feeling guilty despite not doing anything.
"Wha...what is going on here?" wonders future Bulma confused.
"Hey mom! When do you wanna put up the...what the hell?" wonders teen future trunks staring at the older version of himself with a older version of teen future Mai.
"Why'd you stop trunks? Let's get to decorating and lift our spirits." says teen future Mai walking up to teen future trunks.
"Mom what did you do?" wonders future trunks dropping the bags.
"Me? Nothing! I thought you were already back!" says future Bulma.
"Huh?" wonders teen future Mai looking to see what was going on, "...that's not normal. There's a older version of us and we don't know how that came to be."
Teen Future mais eye began twitching then she fell into teen future trunks' arms fainting from the sight.
"Mai? Mai wake up!" says teen future trunks shaking her.
Teen future trunks looked back over at the older versions of him and his bestie wanting answers that weren't easy to tell.
"If it wasn't mom's doing then, WHY THE HELL IS THERE ANOTHER ME AND MAI!? What twisted fate brought them to us?!" wonders teen future Trunks freaking out.
"I was about to tell it." says future trunks looking between future Bulma and their teen forms, "But I guess it's pointless now."
"Nothing can be worse than what the androids could do! Now spill!" says teen future trunks.
Hours felt like minutes as future trunks and future Mai ushered everyone to the couch and went on to tell about an even bigger chaos that involved a despicable Kai who hates mortals who teamed up with an evil version of Goku and a dark Ash managing to kill most of the mortals leaving themselves, the Ashs, Goku and Vegeta to stare in disbelief and fear after what the Kai and his colleagues did to earth and everyone in it. Teen future trunks and future Bulma were wide eyed and horrified upon hearing what happened to them and future Bulma was shaky eyed, putting her hand over her mouth.
"So...beerus and whis of the present let us stay in this part in time of the future timeline." says future Trunks teary eyed.
"We understand if this is too much to take in." says future Mai forming fists, her hands on her lap.
"Here...we'll go see Ash Hazzel and Misty so you guys can finish getting ready for Christmas." says future trunks getting up.
"No, no, no, you dont have too. With it being the christmas season, everyone wants to feel lively and chipper with nothing bringing them down." says Future bulma.
"We'll be back later." says Future trunks taking future mais hand.
Future mai blushed standing up and followed future trunks out of the house.
outside where the buildings were in ruins...
"You remember where their house is...right?" wonders future mai.
"Mai...why would I not remember?" wonders future trunks.
"Because we were stuck in the subway for quite some time." says future mai.
"Ooooh...right." says future trunks.
"So...?" wonders future Mai.
"I wonder how festive their run down house looks?" says future trunks.
"There's only so many ways people can brighten up a house." says future Mai.
"Shall we find out?" wonders Future trunks.
"Lead the way!" says future mai.
After wracking his brain of memories from when he stayed over, future trunks lead future mai to a torn down house that Alternate Ash and Alternate Misty felt was perfect for them.
"This is the place?" wonders Future mai looking at the door.
"If I remember correctly, it should be." says future trunks.
"Sense Ash in there?" wonders future mai putting her arms around future trunks' arm.
"To ash anywhere battling isnt is a safe haven, or atleast this Ash thinks that way." says future trunks.
The duo slowly walked up to the door and looked around to be sure they were at the house and feeling awkward yet excited, they knocked on the door and awaiting someone to answer, thry werent to sure how alternate Ash would react. They grew worried about the sudden surprise visit and turned to walk away but were startled by a creaking door that was slowly opening and out came future hazzel curiously staring at the should be lovebirds.
"Trunks? Mai? What's with the outfits?" wonders future Hazzel.
"They're nothing special. We just happen to be wearing them." says future trunks realizing they should've looked for a different outfit for them.
"Mmmmmmmhmmmm, sure." says future Hazzel.
"Where are your parents?" wonders Future trunks.
"Dad and mom are trying too see if they can make cookie pizza. They're horrible cooks though." says Future Hazzel.
"Ouch." says future trunks.
"You guys can come inside. It'd be weird staying outside when you visit friends." says future Hazzel.
Future trunks and future Mai bowed and went inside, following future Hazzel to the kitchen where Alternate ash and alternate Misty were failing at their baking skills.
"Do you guys know how to bake? Itd be great if there was help." says future hazzel.
"We can try but we cant make promises." says future trunks.
Future hazzel motioned for the should be couple to stop and walked into the kitchen to see burning smoke coming out of the oven and a frantic parent duo trying to put out the fire so they can taste test the peanut butter sauced m&m cookie pizza.
"Mom, dad, trunks and mai are here if you need help." says future hazzel.
Mom, dad, trunks and mai are here if you need help." says future hazzel.
"Trunks and Mai are here? Is trunks in the mood for sparring because I keep telling him, the androids scarred me for life showering cities for me, the substitute goku!" says Ash covering his mouth and nose.
"If Mai is with him, why would he be in a sparring mood?" wonders future Hazzel.
"To z fighters, any time of the day I'd spar worthy and I deny any urge for it!" says Future ash through muffled talk.
"Chill Ash! Stop thinking everything is against you and let us help out." says future trunks.
"We don't wanna force you to get our help but you sure need it." says future mai.
"We're good." says alternate Ash.
"We should all get together for Christmas. Would feel weird since Neither of us have family to spend time with." says Future trunks.
"Depends on our mood." says alternate Ash taking his hand off.
"The more the merrier worry wort." says future trunks.
Alternate ash was displeased with the reply.
"Come on Ash. Put on a smile and not act like Zamasu." says future trunks.
"Who?" wonders alternate ash.
"Noone important. Just as asshat that thought mortals were unwortrhy of life." says future trunks waving it off.
Future trunks went looking around the house to see what all was there to decorate a run down house but it felt weird a little walking around another's house yet felt really nice seeing Ash and Misty alive as well as his mom. But as warm as he felt it still needed getting used too.
"Seeing them again feels great but was this the best idea?" ponders future trunks.
Future trunks looked around the house at what was put up and felt bad imagining alternate Ashs reaction to double trunks and double mai. Future trunks cringed a little at the thought but sucked it up and looked around for boxes filled with decorations to see what he could put up without needing to be asked.
back at capsule corp...
Teen future mai finally awoke and looked around confused then spotted teen future trunks and pondered to herself if the two young adult versions of themselves was just an illusion.
"You ok over there?" wonders teen future trunks walking up to teen future mai.
"Im fine trunks." says teen future mai smiling back at teen future trunks.
"Must be nice to get a nap after findout you have a older twin." says teen future trunks.
"I still find it weird but we will make it work." says future bulma.
"You say it like this is the best thing to happen to us." says teen future trunks.
"Cant complain no matter how strange the predicament. Strange things fit perfectly for us." says future bulma shrugging it off.
"Well, youre not exactly wrong." says teen future trunks.
Time went by and a couple days passed on earth with alternate Ash getting creeped out by the two trunks and mais he kept seeing, always second guessing if his eyes were playing tricks on him. He'd shake his head thinking he was losing it but since they were the closest thing to family, he went with it, felt really weird talking to copies but rolled with it. Shuddered at the thought but reluctantly went along with it.
"Must you do that!? Its giving me the heeby jeebies!" says Alternate ash.
"Its not like we planned this." say the trunks'.
"If youre trying to freak people out, wait till a dare you can scare the pants off people! This time of year doesn't allow that!" says alternate ash.
"Ash, take a deep breath. Focus on the gifts and we can have a happy merry day." says future trunks.
Teen future trunks nodded smiling.
"Its all good." says teen future trunks.
"Don't feel like your obligated to buy gifts. This is all the gift mai and I can get." says future trunks.
"Acting like twins isn't gift worthy! Seeing what you claim as being twins is eerie, by all means eerie." says alternate ash.
Future trunks and teen future trunks looked at eachother then back at alternate ash and set one of their hands on his shoulders.
"Hey man, its chaotic around the holidays. Youre either happy go lucky or gloom and doom. Theres no inbetween. So,be happy you got a gift for misty and hazel. They'll love whatever you get them. If you prefer, come over when youre done giving eachother gifts." says future trunks.
Alternate Ash sweat dropped, mouth twitching.
"Le...lets make a compromise that wont weird people out." says alternate ash taking their hands off.
"Ok." shrug future trunks and teen future trunks.
"Watcha got planned anxiety ridden ash?" wonders future ash.
"P...planned? I wouldn't beable to tell you even if I could." says alternate ash looking away.
"Oh? Interest us in your gift giving ways." says Future trunks crossing his arms.
"...I cant just choose one thing and ummmm…." says alternate ash looking away sheepishly.
"I did tell you we wouldn't force you right? Keep a calm mind and let things go with the flow," says teen future trunks.
"Guys, love to continue chatting but I gotta get home. Ummmmm bye." says alternate ash waving goodbye awkwardly then took off.
"You do you and never think what you do brings negativity into your mind!" says future trunks calling out to alternate ash.
"Whats gotten into him? Youd think youd get used to it." says teen future trunks.
"Don't get the wrong idea but He doesnt wanna do anything thanks to depression yet anxiety being no matter how many people see won't care what you do or how you do it. Once you start thinking negatively, everything feels like its against you and its never fun waiting to find out what will come of the things you love doing or if hate stops you from ever doing anything right. You lose your sense of doing it the way you wanna and can only focus on the looming feeling of anyone and everyone bringing you down constantly. Your mood slowly goes from excitement down to happiness, then you trying to keep up a smiling appearance while your insides beg for you to cry your heart out because everything you do is pointless while everyones eyes are on you waiting, wondering, while you just stand there fidgeting putting thoughts of fear and worry. Itll forever wane of you, until you feel like nothing is worth your time. That's how. Hes just a normal human like anyone else with these moods or emotions. You cant just get rid of them,. You have to let them go through until they are out of your system but if you keep them corrupting your mind, what you once were can never come back..." says future trunks looking down.
"...Other me, lets go home. mom must be wondering when we are getting home." says teen future trunks gloomily.
Future trunks waited until alternate ash was out of sight then followed teen future trunks back to capsule corp.
Other world...
"Still wanting to sneak away dad?" wonders future Gohan smirking at future Goku.
"You ready to leave other world?" wonders future Goku.
The smirk turned to a frown as he lowered his head to look at earth again.
"Well, son?" wonders future Goku.
"Ready when you are dad." says future Gohan smiling.
Future Gohan and future Goku clasped hands and shook on it before grinning wildly at eachother.
Day before Christmas Eve...
It was the day before Christmas and all through the day, teen future trunks was eager to open presents and give everyone a present each but just one since present opening was a mere two days away.
"Tomorrow night, we'll pick one present for ourselves then see if we can get Ash, Misty and Hazzel to find out which presents are theirs." says teen future trunks.
"They'd know because we put names on a few presents." says future trunks.
"It was a shame we had to buy last minute presents." Future Bulma.
"Once night falls tomorrow, we each grab a present! It'll be great seeing each others expressions." says teen future trunks.
Teen future trunks chuckled, imagining the expressions on everyone's faces once opening the presents.
Other world...
"On three!" says future Goku.
Future Goku and future Gohan looked to their sides once, twice, three times in case anyone was looking.
"1...2...3..!" say future Gohan and future Goku.
As if they were in sync, they headed down snake way to get to where king yemma was and ran passed him before he could say anything. The ogres were confused by the sudden urge to leave other world but as soon as they watched them go out of sight, they looked up at king yemma who wasn't very pleased by it. Once the father son duo were a good distance away, looked for baba so she'd bring them to earth. With no luck, they sucked it up and ran out the edge of Babas place and swooped down toward the ground to land.
Earth...
"Sense anyone?" wonders future Goku.
"Hmmmmmm..." says future Gohan looking around.
Future Goku and future Gohan closed their eyes and sensed around for alternate Ash or trunks and jolted back sensing two trunks'.
"Are we missing something?" wonders future Goku.
"Big time. Two trunks' means something must've gone down." says future Gohan.
"Only problem is why and how?" wonders future Goku.
"You look for Ash, I'll head to capsule corp." says future Goku.
Future Gohan nodded and flew away toward capsule corp leaving future Goku to figure out where alternate Ash was.
Hours went by and day turned to night and with the moonlight casting a light through the window, alternate Ash walked into the living room to sit on the couch and keep to himself for a bit but what he walked into the room to see was a silhouette of a man with a halo over his head, the man he saw laying in bed dead when he appeared. His eyes widened to the point they were bugging out as alternate Ash slowly walked up to the house, toward the man who was waving to him.
"Aren't you that Goku guy that died? Why are you in my house instead of haunting someone else?" wonders alternate Ash.
"Me? Haunt you? Never. I just wanted to get to know you better. And what better time than now?" says future Goku.
"Your joking. Who'd wanna talk to a spirit?" wonders alternate Ash shaking where he stood.
The halo shined in the moonlight as future Goku face began to glisten as it went from blackness of silhouette to noticeable. Alternate Ash wanted to leave the room but couldn't get himself to move.
"You look like you saw a ghost." says future Goku looking at alternate Ash who's eyes were shadowed.
You can't really be here. If this is s joke, I'm not laughing." says alternate Ash shaking his head in disbelief.
"Noones here to chuckle or laugh. We're the only ones in the room." says future Goku patting the cushion on the couch.
"This is weirding me out. Goku...father of the now dead Gohan is here...looking like he's here in the flesh for a dead guy." says alternate Ash denying what he was seeing.
"Don't think of me like that. Think of me as your dad. We're practically alike, right?" says Future Goku.
"How long have you known my mom, Delia ketchum? How the hell can someone like you get to someone like her and have me?! That's all kinds of messed up logic." says alternate Ash teary eyed.
"...I don't really know how to answer that." says future Goku frowning.
"Of course you wouldn't! Unless you were flung into my world, youd...! You'd...be better off not knowing we existed. Whatever I was fated with IS A BUNCH OF LIES! TWISTED LIES THAT I HAVE TO GET USED TOO! Your z warrior pals thought I was the spitting image of you when we were never meant to be family. So, why...? Why is it now a father I never heard of waltzes into my life like he was supposedly part of it?! It's not right! There's no way by some strange twisted fate you'd end up with my mom! I may have your hairstyle but I am by no means A CHILD VERSION OF YOU! I am Ash ketchum, a wannabe Pokémon trainer who's an emotional wreck! Not Ash son, half saiyan warrior who takes on enemies as if they were meant to be a way to prove my bravery! Get your facts straight." says Alternate ash fidgeting.
"...I heard you have a family now. Where are they?" wonders future Goku feeling horrible.
"Nowhere important. Get your creepy freaky ghostly essence out of here." says Alternate ash grinding his teeth, pointing in the opposite direction.
"Wait...you called yourself a wannabe Pokemon master? Was there something you wanted to be beside that?" wonders Future Goku.
"All I wanted to do was be home with my loving mother but she shut me out of the house and told me to come back when I ended the Pokémon league. Besides, I hate the idea of being a famous Pokémon master. Too many paparazzi at your door, never once giving you time to yourself. I say 'No thank you.' to that life. I hate it here too but atleast there's people who understand my situation." says alternate Ash fuming.
The light shown brightly on future Goku as he nodded in understanding. Alternate Ash felt freaked out all over again but this was creepier than seeing doubles.
"What even is my life anymore?" mumbles Alternate Ash slouching once he put his arm down.
"Hey. Hey. Don't get yourself down in the dumps. I'd be happy to be that father you never got to be with." says future Goku getting up to walk up to alternate Ash.
"That's eerily disturbing...how accurate it'd be just from picturing it." says alternate ash groaning.
"What's disturbing is your mindset toward things. Let the worries and pain slip away so we can get to chatting on the couch." says future Goku ushering alternate Ash to the couch.
"I'd rather not." says Alternate ash stepping to the side.
"We can talk about anything. Like the reason behind the way you act." says future Goku.
"Nope. Nope. Nope. Not happening. No way." says Alternate ash turning to leave the living room.
"You're just embarrassed." says future Goku chuckling a bit as he closed his eyes.
Future Gohan was nearing capsule corp, sensing the kis of both trunks which seemed strange when there should only be one.
"The kis are coming from inside." says future gohan looking inside.
Future gohan was lost for words when he saw two trunks' pass eachother.
"I had one little buddy. Not two versions of the little buddy." thinks future gohan leaning forward to get a better look.
Future mai was walking up to future trunks when she spotted future gohan and waved to him, happy for the help in the further version of the future timeline. Future gohan blinked and waved back, staring at future mai who kept smiling as she looked his way. Future mai went up to the window and opened it.
"Uhhhh….hi mystery girl." says Future gohan taken aback.
"Im a friend of trunks. Or rather the 18 year old trunks." says future mai pointing to herself.
"Wai...what?" wonders future gohan staring blankly.
"We are the older versions of your friend and his friend. Our part of the timeline hasn't happened yet. Thankfully." says future mai.
"O...ok." says future gohan reverting his eyes awkwardly as he slowly moved his head.
"You coming in Gohan?" wonders future mai.
"How...how do you know my name?" wonders Future gohan freaked out a bit.
"Well, of course. I don't know how you did it but you helped us take on the future enemy. It as pretty hectic and we failed in winning so everyone on earth was safe." says future mai setting her hands on the window sill.
Future Gohan couldn't find the right words to answer with.
"It was more frustrating than fun." says future mai.
"That mustve been some battle then." say future gohan sweat dropping.
"Wanna come inside? Itd be a nice thing to have both trunks' see you." says future mai motioning toward the door.
"It feels wrong." says future gohan.
"This shouldn't be like you. Come on. Its just to show them youre ok." says future mai.
"I should get dad and take him ba-"
"Did I hear talk of goku?" wonders future bulma walking up to future mai and saw she was talking to future gohan who awkwardly went quiet seeing future bulma.
Future gohan stared at future bulma and couldn't believe how calm and collected she looked.
"Gohan, how is otherworld? Are the other dead z warriors keeping you in check? Have you been talking to your father? Wish I knew if they can drop by but that could never happen. Trunks needs his father." says future bulma going from bright and cheery to gloomy and on the verge of tearing up.
"Its good. Could be better if we were actually able to spend time with you even if its one time a year." says future gohan scratching the side of his head while looking up.
"So you snuck away to check up on us. That's so like you." says future mai.
"You got the wrong idea. Dad decided to come down and talk a bit with Ash alone so I went with him and we separated ways the moment we touched the ground. I came here to check on trunks not wanting to be seen while dad probably scared the shit out of ash the moment he lay eyes on him." says future gohan.
Future mai and future bulma chuckled, imagining how Ash came across goku and is most likely freaking out trying to keep away. Watching future mai and future bulma chuckle made future gohan laugh imagining alternate ash backing away from future goku while he tried to talk to him, getting nowhere fast.
"But really, I need to get dad and get going back to otherworld." says future gohan pointing away from the house.
''Twas the night before Christmas...
Alternate Ash was calmed quite a bit. The feeling of having future Goku around still irked him but he had to focus on the presents. Thankfully alternate Misty was around to help after making sure future Hazzel was fast asleep.
"Is that all of them?" wonders alternate Ash cringing.
"Is it?" wonders alternate Misty sitting up.
"You tell me mist. Each year I worry it'll be our last and it doesn't help the fact I am already anxious over needing to make mom proud. Hiding here is kind of a safe haven but that safety didn't last." says alternate Ash.
"Atleast you get to have a family. A small one at that but a loving one who can go to the briefs and hang out." says alternate Misty.
"Yeah...but Hazzel needs someone her age. Someone she can depend on besides us." says alternate Ash gathering the presents on his side of the room.
"And she will, maybe not today but someday she will find someone to love and cherish." says alternate Misty putting her hands on his.
"With how things are going, she will be single all her life awaiting the right person to come into her life." says alternate Ash not once looking at alternate Misty.
"Stop thinking negative things and focus on the positives. No matter how little the amount of positives are." says alternate Misty holding alternate Ash.
"Yeah, what she said." came a voice.
The couple looked around, unsure if future Hazzel came down but could find no one.
"Women know best, I should know. If I didn't obide to chichis needs, I was screwed." says the voice.
"Ok...that definitely wasn't a girls voice." says alternate Misty.
Alternate Ash felt sick to his stomach recognizing the voice, he didn't wanna find out yet he knew who's voice that was.
"G...Goku...be a pal and not spook us. That be greeeeaaaaaat." says Alternate Ash fearful of the dead saiyan.
"Oh, come on may as well be son of mine. Friendly ghosts don't scare the daylights out of people." says future Goku coming into view.
"I don't want this to be real. You aren't real. My heritage revolves around humans not saiyans. Don't confuse me anymore than you already have." says alternate Ash cowering behind alternate Misty who was ghost white seeing future Goku appear to them.
"So this must be your wife. Is she as scary as mine?" wonders future Goku.
"What makes you think she's like your wife? Wait...chichi was your wife? That woman who always yelled over every little thing was your wife?! I hated being around her! She was my only substitute parent having to stay in this 24/7 bloody lifestyle!" says alternate Ash putting two and two together.
"You could atleast greet your dead supposed dad." says Alternate Misty.
"I'll never believe it! Never ever forever!" says alternate Ash glaring at future Goku.
"What have I ever done to you?" wonders future Goku leaning against the wall.
"Oh...I dunno, leave mom and me to live out our lives without a father to teach me things!" says alternate Ash.
"Looks like I'm truly unwanted. Shame isn't it, I finally get to meet my so called 'son' and he wants nothing to do with me. That hurts." says future Goku setting a hand on his chest.
Alternate misty recollected herself and waved it off, happy to see someone whod be honored to step in as the father.
"Hes been like this since he left for the kalos league. Ash hates people. No other way of looking at it, except he had to suck it up and tell himself we were meant to be by some fateful experience we encountered upon meeting. Well, hes either hateful of people or has fears of what people will think of him. He really needs to ignore the downs and focus on the ups." says alternate misty pulling alternate ash toward her.
"Hey...watch it..." says alternate Ash embarrassed.
"He just needs to learn whatever life brings can be the best of things or the worst of things. You just need to take it day by day. Atleast its what I keep telling the poor thing." says alternate misty hugging alternate ash tightly.
Alternate ash went silent, feeling awkward by the dead 'father' he probably had and the way alternate misty was acting around him.
Future gohan had come into capsule corp and was helping future bulma with the dozen of presents that were around the duo.
"You didn't have to gohan. I could've gotten one of the trunks' or mais to do it." says future bulma finishing taping the presents.
"It wouldn't be a surprise then, would it?" wonders Future gohan setting the present he wrapped under the tree.
"Nah, Just wish you had brought vegeta with you." says future bulma starting to wrap the next present.
"Yeah...hehehe...dad was too eager to think passed meeting Ash." says future gohan.
"THat goku sure has a one track mind." says future bulma.
Future gohan chuckled to himself then looked at future bulma halting what he was doing.
"You said it. Not me." says future gohan.
"Hey...could you go back to other world and get Vegeta. Just for tomorrow?" wonders future bulma looking at future gohan.
"Cant make any promises." says future gohan.
"You will do it for trunks. Trunks will be hurt if you didn't get him the best gift of all." says future bulma crossing her arms.
"Did I say that? I meant...I don't know how things will go but ill get to it." says future gohan,
"Im sure you will." says future bulma.
"Honest!" says future gohan freaking out.
"MMMMMMmmmmmmhmmmm." says future bulma.
"Bulma, I swear ill get vegeta here! Depending on his mood, he will have to see his family." says future gohan spazzing.
"I'll hold you to it." says future bulma.
"Bulma…..no stress over the holidays!" says future Gohan.
Christmas finally arrived...
Alternate ash was too fidgety to focus on what presents were his. All he can think of was future goku popping up to startle the shit out of him again so he wearily looked around the house in case he was in one of the rooms and sighed in relief and turned around to happily go back to the living room but halted in his tracked and slowly turned back in the direction he was walking after seeing future goku smiling at him.
"I need to ban you from my house. Otherwise I'd have a heart attack." says alternate Ash.
"You think I've been giving you heart attacks? I'd leave you alone if I had other family that was alive but I don't so...I'm limited on who I can hang with." says future Goku.
"Fine. Ok. Hazzel has yet to meet you, so try not to spook her like you are making me jump out of my skin." says alternate Ash.
Capsule corp...
Everyone was sitting around the tree, eager to dig into the gifts and strewn the torn wrapping paper around the room. Everyone except future Bulma who was deep in thought about last nights conversation.
Both trunks looked over at future Bulma, worried about her, seeing the expression on her face.
"Everyone is here. Unless you wanted to wait for the ketchums." says future trunks.
"No, it's not them. Ash has his own troubles to get through." says future Bulma leaning forward.
"He shouldn't be. This is the time of year everyone ought to be happy." says teen future trunks.
"Not him." says future Bulma.
"He has the Christmas blues. How else would you put it?" says future Mai.
"There is that but it's not necessarily true. A certain someone keeps dropping by and won't leave him alone." says future Bulma.
"Who? His daily stalkers? Doubt it." says future trunks.
"Jessie and James are not who I'm talking about. I think they're living their lives away from our lovable Pokémon training-"
"Next year, im teaching him the ways of the z warrior and prove to him its not scary." says teen future trunks.
"Ill be the one to do it. ive had more experience mini me." says Future trunks.
"Mini...you?! I am no such thing!" says teen future trunks.
"Don't say it like that!" says future Bulma.
"I still think it." says future trunks.
"Let's get to opening the presents." says future Bulma slightly agitated.
A few hours later...
Future Bulma was pacing back and forth, wondering where future Gohan was with future Vegeta.
"When I get my hands on Gohan..." growls future Bulma.
"You'll what, woman?" wonders a voice.
"Never call me that!" says future Bulma glaring in the direction of the voice.
When future Bulma realized who's voice that was, she ran up to the man, known as future Vegeta with tears streaming down her eyes.
"Vegeta...you actually came. The boys will be so happy." says Future Bulma setting her head on Future Vegetas chest.
"I'm here now woman. Gohan filled me in best he could then I took off before he could come with me." says future vegeta.
"You're a nice guy when you wanna be." says future Bulma tightening her grip.
"Alls well that ends well." says future vegeta.
"We need a new year with new happy moments." says future Bulma closing her eyes.
Future vegeta said nothing more, just put his arms around his beautiful yet aged wife.
Ketchum house...
"Ash, if you ever thought of Gohan as your brother, I most certainly would be like a father to you." says future Goku.
"I don't know anything about you to know if you are father worthy or not." says alternate Ash hmmmphing.
"Then, I plan on visiting you as much as I can." says future Goku.
"Oh...hell no!" says Alternate ash crossing his arms into an x position, wanting nothing to do with ghosts of any kind.
"I'll make it a surprise." says future Goku smiling.
"Please do." says future Hazzel.
"I'd be happier if you weren't able too." says alternate Ash.
Alternate Misty pushed alternate Ash to the ground.
"Ignore this sappy weirdo." says alternate Misty.
Alternate Ash sat back up grumbling to alternate Misty for doing that and to future Goku who seemed like he was able to come and go as he pleased.
