When Trunks and Goten got to the house with Aurora, Bulma was waiting at the door.
Also, a snowstorm started raging outside.
"You found a girl out in this weather?" That was the first thing Bulma asked.
"I'm assuming Goku and them got here then?" Trunks asked, holding Aurora close to him.
"Yeah, they're here—and they said you found a girl in Spring or Summer clothes in the snow." Bulma repeated, looking at Trunks.
"Yeah. It's the girl from Kyoto I kind of told you about." Trunks answered, looking at his mother.
"She must be freezing. Bring her this way. What is that?" Bulma ordered, looking at Trunks, and then asked when she noticed the scythe.
"It's her scythe… Can we just warm her up or something?" Trunks answered, and impatiently asked.
"Who is this girl?" Vegeta asked, annoyed.
"Never mind that right now!" Trunks snapped, following his mom to her room.
"Ok… Lay her on the bed. First, we need to get her out of these wet clothes. Then we'll wrap her in this; we'll slowly warm her up." Bulma instructed, digging for some warmer clothes and an electric blanket.
Trunks didn't say anything; he just did as he was instructed.
"Who the hell is this girl?! I don't care if you feel some kind of connection to her; you are to be married to the Sun princess." Vegeta snapped, walking into his room.
"Dad! Don't you fucking knock?!" Trunks snapped back.
"Knock it off, both of you! Did you get a name?" Bulma snapped, ending that argument before it could escalate.
"Yeah… Just before she passed out, she said her name was Aurora Phoenix." Trunks answered.
"Aurora Phoenix? You're sure?" Vegeta asked, stunned.
"Yes, I'm sure. She said her name was Aurora Phoenix. Why?" Trunks asked, trying to remain calm.
"Well, that was easier than expected. And you feel connected with her. So that's out of the way." Vegeta stated with a victorious smile.
"What is with that look?" Bulma asked, looking at her husband as she pulled Aurora's shorts down.
"Aurora Phoenix is the Sun's princess. They said she couldn't be found." Vegeta answered with a cheeky smile.
"Well—that explains why she doesn't understand this weather. And how she knew who I was and who my father is." Trunks sighed, looking from Vegeta to Aurora before Bulma made him look away; she was about to remove her bra and panties.
"If she's from the Sun, is it safe for her to be somewhere where it snows like this? I don't think her body can handle this cold." Bulma noted as she redressed Aurora in a new pair of simple cotton panties, soft sleep pants, and a long-sleeved nightshirt.
"She'll be fine as long as she starts dressing appropriately." Vegeta plainly stated, answering Bulma.
"Ok. What's with the scythe?" Bulma asked, wrapping Aurora in the electric blanket.
"When I saw her, I went up to, and asked what she was doing outside in that outfit. I must've scared her or something because she became defensive, and out came the scythe. I'm not sure what kind of scythe it is, but I do know it's hot; I burnt my hand trying to pick it up." Trunks explained, holding his hand up.
"That's the Sun or Fire Scythe." Vegeta answered, shocked.
"Why do you sound so shocked?" Bulma asked, looking at her husband.
"The Sun or Fire Scythe is the Sun's strongest, most powerful item they have. People call it either Sun Scythe because it's of the Sun. They also call it the Fire Scythe because it can start fires with a single swipe/slash. The only people who can—or should be able to wield it are warriors of the Sun, Mars, and Ariens—not some meek princess." Vegeta explained, looking at Aurora.
"Saiyans can't wield it?" Bulma asked in a bored tone.
"No. As soon as I touched it, my hands started burning." Vegeta answered, looking away.
"I was able to pick it up—after cooling it down with some snow. Then Gohan carried it home. And I really don't think Aurora is some meek princess; she has some kind of fight and attitude towards her." Trunks spoke up.
"Are we sure she's really the princess and isn't lying to you?" Vegeta asked, becoming suspicious.
"She never said she was a princess." Trunks replied.
"But she did say her name was Aurora Phoenix." Vegeta stated, looking at Trunks.
"Yeah… Dad, what are you doing?" Trunks replied before asking in shock when Vegeta went over to Aurora and started searching her body; he ended up staring at her wrist.
"Vegeta, what are you doing?" Bulma asked, demanding an answer.
"She is who she says she is… She has the Royal Sun Mark on her wrist…" Vegeta mumbled, showing off Aurora's wrist.
The mark was looked like a small fancy red, orange, and black sun design.
"So she is who she says she is. What is your issue?" Bulma asked, annoyed, looking at Vegeta as he backed away.
"She is a princess; she shouldn't have something as powerful as that scythe!" Vegeta yelled.
"Who cares? Clearly, she has it and nothing's going to change that. Next, I suppose you're going to say she stole it." Trunks shot.
"No. No matter who or what you are, the scythe can't be stolen; it'll burn the thief." Vegeta explained.
"Well, there you go." Bulma started, only to be interrupted.
"But why does she, of all people, have it?! She's the princess—and she's tiny! I highly doubt she's strong enough to wield it!" Vegeta yelled again.
"Oh, I beg to differ; she did just fine in wielding it." Trunks mumbled.
"What was that, Boy?!" Vegeta asked, pissed off.
"She wielded the scythe just fine. If I had provoked her just enough, she could've easily sliced me in half or something. When I saw her in Kyoto, she didn't seem like a pushover of any sort. She's pretty handy capable, if you ask me." Trunks calmly explained.
"Well, I didn't ask you; now, did I?!" Vegeta snapped.
"That's enough!" Bulma snapped. She was going to continue when someone beat her to it.
"Will you stop yelling and shut the fuck up?!" Aurora asked, annoyed, sitting up, holding her head.
"Excuse me?" Vegeta asked in shock while Bulma and Trunks stood there, shocked as well.
"You heard me." Aurora replied, looking directly at Vegeta.
"Excuse me? Do you know just who I am?" Vegeta asked, offended, looking at her.
"You're his dad, yes?" Aurora asked, looking from Vegeta to Trunks.
"So, you don't know who I am? Let me tell yo—" Vegeta started, only to be interrupted.
"You're Vegeta, King of all Saiyans. Son of the late King Vegeta and Queen Vespa. Wife of Bulma Briefs and father of Trunks and Bulla Briefs. I am very well aware of who you are, your highness. My parents and older brothers have told me all about you, your family, and the agreement you made so that my family wouldn't fry what was left of your people—and so your people wouldn't destroy my family's livelihood. In my opinion, you should've destroyed that statue; it causes nothing but problems." Aurora answered, using sarcasm here and there, interrupting Vegeta.
"What is your issue? One would think you'd be happy with an alliance! And you… How can you be so selfish as to leave your family in order to do whatever? To go back on our agreement?!" Vegeta yelled.
"Me? Selfish? Ok. Let me explain something to you, Pal. An alliance isn't the problem. I have no problem with an alliance. The problem is being forced to be married to a person I don't know by a party of dumbass adults who think they know best, but don't. The problem is being born into a family of stuck-up, selfish, greedy people who think they know everything. If you want to call me selfish, fine. But it ain't true. Did I run away to avoid all that bullshit? Yes. Yes, I did. Yes, I decided to run away from being a damn princess because I never asked for or wanted that! I am just me—and that's how it will damn well stay." Aurora explained, answering Vegeta, glaring at him.
"Ok… Fine. Fine. My next question is…" Vegeta started, only to be interrupted again.
"Why I have my Sun-Fire Scythe? Yes, I know. You're not very quiet—and I'm not deaf. I heard you—loud and clear. I have had that thing since I was two. The damn thing came to me. Yes, I can wield and use it and all of its abilities just fine. Just as I hold the Imperium Ruby Crystal." Aurora explained, looking at Vegeta.
"The "what" crystal?" Vegeta asked, looking at Aurora like she was crazy.
"The Imperium Ruby Crystal. The Imperium Crystal is the Sun's most powerful crystal and power source. It's one of the strongest crystals in the universe. It's not the strongest, but it is one of them. The Moon has it's Imperium Silver Crystal, we have the Imperium Ruby Crystal. All planets except for Earth have their own powerful crystal. However, the Moon and the Sun are the only ones with an Imperium crystal. The crystals of the planets all have their names and a type of gem in their names. Earth used to have one, but it was later destroyed and turned to dust that helped grow the grass, trees, flowers, and bushes." Aurora explained, shocking Vegeta.
"What?!" Aurora snapped, looking at a very stunned Vegeta.
"How can a tiny thing like you use that scythe?" Vegeta asked in disbelief.
"Is he always like this?" Aurora asked, looking at Bulma.
"Pretty much." Bulma and Trunks answered at the same time.
"You must be an incredibly strong woman being able to handle him on a daily basis." Aurora stated, looking at Bulma, avoiding Trunks.
Aurora had a hard time looking at Trunks—especially in the eyes.
"Thank you." "What is that supposed to mean?" Bulma and Vegeta spoke at the same time.
"Now—what am I wearing and where are my clothes?" Aurora asked, looking at herself.
"You were freezing because your clothes were drenched, so I changed you out of them and into clean, dry, and warm underwear and pajamas." Bulma explained.
"Freezing?" Aurora asked, confused.
"You're from the Sun, not Earth. Certain places on Earth gets snow and cold. When a person gets too cold, they freeze. Those clothes keep you warm. That scythe just came to you ?" Vegeta explained and then asked, still in shock.
"Jeez… If I show you, will you shut up?" Aurora asked, annoyed.
Vegeta didn't reply and just stared at Aurora, causing her to sigh in frustration.
After a few seconds, Aurora sat up on her knees, waved her arm, and her scythe instantly appeared for her.
"Better?" Aurora asked, looking at Vegeta.
Vegeta just stared at her, watching the scythe.
"Ok…" Aurora sighed before the scythe shrunk, and she tucked it behind her ear, shocking Vegeta.
"Now what?" Aurora asked, annoyed, sliding to get off the bed.
"Nothing." Vegeta replied, walking to the door.
"Uh-huh… Wahh!" Aurora replied in disbelief before falling over as soon as she stood up.
"Are you ok?" Bulma and Trunks asked, concerned.
"Yeah… I'm fine. Thank you. And thank you for changing me into something dry and warm." Aurora replied to Bulma, standing up.
As soon as she stood up, Aurora made the mistake of looking at Trunks and into his eyes.
"Well, well, well… It doesn't seem like your parents and I didn't make such an asinine mistake after all, did we?" Vegeta asked, looking at Trunks and Aurora.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Aurora snapped, glaring at Vegeta.
"I guess you'll just have to find out for yourself." Vegeta replied with a smug smile before walking out of the room.
"What does that mean?! Hey! Get back here, you bastard! What does that mean?!" Aurora yelled, chasing after Vegeta.
"This is the girl you like?" Bulma asked, looking at Trunks.
"I don't know her, but yes; I know I like her. I really like her now that I know she can handle Dad. I really didn't think anyone would be able to take what he dishes out. But as it turns out, she dishes out just as much as he does." Trunks replied.
"I certainly like her. I certainly like her a lot better than Mai. It may have only been once, but she complimented me. And she said thank you. Not many of your girlfriends have done that." Bulma replied with a smile.
"Right." Trunks agreed, smiling—until they heard crashing in the living room and kitchen…
