Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ nor any of DBZ movies, characters, or anything...I do have the manga books but that is a different story...I am not doing a transcript of the film, and I get no money, not even peanuts from doing this, I am happy with some reviews an nothing more
Trunks great plan
Trunks entered the GR with a huge smile on his handsome face, he had the answer to his family problems. Gohan had mentioned the intergalactic tournament that was going to take place in a couple of days. He was surprise to see both his parents inside the GR, she was working a panel and he was looking at her from a distance.
-"Father!"- Trunks exclaimed
-"Your mother said you were here"- Vegeta didn´t even looked at him.
-"Stop the badboy act, Vegeta"- Bulma stood up, grease smeared on her face-"He has been waiting for you to return from Son´s house for an hour since I told him you were here"
Vegeta looked at her angrily.
-"Come on, I knew you were not interested in watching me work so the logical conclusion is that you were waiting for him"- Bulma was not a bit scared.
-"There is going to be a tournament"- Trunks decided this was a great moment to share the news-"with earthling fighters..."
Vegeta growled, that was not a tournament, there was no real challenge in fighting earthlings.
-"And aliens"- Trunks finished the sentence.-"There is a good money prize, Gohan was very excited about it"
-"Your mother is rich, we do not need money"- Vegeta replied, besides the reason to enter a tournament couldn´t be money, they were saiyans they had to fight to prove their strength, that they were worthy, fighting for some coins was despicable, specially if you were already rich.
-"Well, yes, we are rich but you could compete in the tournament, maybe it is fun"- Bulma added-"and we could give that money to Chi Chi, after all she will be needing it with the new baby and all"
-"New baby?"- Trunks asked forgetting for a minute about the tournament
-"I am not interested in that tournament, I bet all the Z warriors will enter, it would be a worthless competition"- Vegeta replied ignoring Bulma´s eyes.-"I told you, woman, I am not fighting, not ever again"
-"But, father, there will be aliens"- Trunks tried again
-"I have seen plenty of weaklings in other planets, believe me, I used to destroy entire races"- Vegeta snapped back, but then he saw his son´s face, he had said too much.
Trunks had some idea of what his father had done in the past, nobody had told him all the truth, after all, Vegeta was already dead in his time and talking bad about dead people was never his mother´s hobby, and his father had not talked to much with him so he had just the notion that in the past his father´s actions had not been always good and heroic, but killing races, destroying planets. He stared at him with wide, sad eyes.
-"Maybe you are afraid of Gohan"- Bulma tried to make Vegeta react
-"Yes, that is probably the reason"- Vegeta snarled angrily-"the prince of all saiyans is never afraid, never!"
And with that he was gone. Trunks looked at his mother and felt rotten.
-"I am sorry mom, I thought that was going to help"- Trunks said
-"Do not worry, we will get to him, his armour is starting to break, I can see it. He is happy to see you even he doesn´t want to show it, but he has been here waiting."- Bulma replied-"About what your father said..."
-"About destroying planets?"- Trunks looked away
-"That was him in the past, I have no idea how much did I tell you in the future, but he has changed a lot"- Bulma explained.
-"He was a killer and now he just is an impossible man"- Trunks clenched his fists.
-"You knew about Freeza, you killed him, so you have to know what that monster did to your father when he was a kid"-Bulma started-"he did horrible things but he had a second chance and he took it, and since then he had changed, he is a different person. I wouldn´t judge him for his past actions but for his good deeds. He is no longer a monster"
-"No, you are right, the important thing is that he is my father, and I am worried about him"- Trunks accepted it-"I wish I could do more.."
-"It is okay, Trunks, he will find his way back, he is a bit lost now."- Bulma smiled-" help here and we should have this room ready for you to start training for that tournament"
-"Great"- Trunks was delighted-"Chi Chi is expecting a baby?"
-"Yes, isn´t it great? Goku would have loved another baby, he was always playing around with Gohan when he was a baby"- Bulma felt a tear running down her cheek.
-"Wow!"- Trunks couldn´t believe it-"in my time Gohan was an only child, just like me...Mom?"
-"You are still an only child, although with your father around, sometimes I wonder how many babies I have to take care of?"- Bulma started to work again on the panel.
The morning of the tournament, Bulma dressed up in yellow, and finished dressing baby Trunks.
-"You are going to win this one, you know it?"- Bulma asked the baby, who was happy to be going outside for a while.
Trunks put on his capsule corp vest over his black t-shirt and he checked his reflection on the mirror of his new room, his mother had thought that he should have a room ready just in case he decided to make a small trip into the past to say hi. Trunks picked up his sword and walked to his father´s room. Vegeta was lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling.
-"Father"- Trunks said-"We are leaving for the tournament, Mon is bringing...me...well, you know, the baby. Aren´t you going to come? Everyone will be there"
-"Last night I said no, I thought I made myself clear"- Vegeta´s voice was colder than an iceberg.
-"Okay, I was wondering if I could leave my sword here, I cannot use it in the tournament and it is a very important sword for me, so I wanted to leave it here with you, to be sure that it is safe"- Trunks added
-"Leave it if you must"- Vegeta didn´t move an eyelid
-"Will you watch the tournament?, it will be broadcasted"- Trunks asked
-"I have better things to do"- Vegeta replied.
-"Well, then, I will see you when we come back. See you, father"- Trunks left with a sad heart.
The moment Trunks left Vegeta stood up and walked to the sword, it was a nice weapon, the sword that had killed Freeza once and for all. He felt so much pride when he tought of his son destroying that monster. He touched the sword and then moved to the cabinet in front of his bed, Bulma had placed a TV set there, possible because she knew that he was going to watch the tournament no matter how much he swore he wouldn´t.
-"Damn woman, she knows me better than I know myself, she is going to be the end of me"- He muttered and then he got really angry-"why didn´t she left some food here as well? Chicken would have been nice."
Krillin heard Chi Chi yelling, she was trying to cheer Gohan, and felt it was not fair, He wanted to win, he needed the check but if Gohan was in the tournament...then he saw Piccolo and his heart sank a bit further.
-"Great, I just need Trunks to make it my day"- Krillin thought and then he saw the purple haired boy smiling-"just great"
Bulma was talking with Chi Chi while the baby was trying to catch some butterflies.
-"How come you let Gohan fight again?"- Bulma asked her
-"He is doing his homework for once and I thought he needed some exercise, after what happened with his father and all"- Chi chi played with baby trunks.
-"I wanted to spend some time with Trunks, well, with the other Trunks, now we are all together, and that is what is important"- Bulma smiled at her baby
-"Why is Vegeta not entering?"- Chi Chi asked
-"Whatever passion he had for fighting is long gone, I have no idea what is wrong with him."- Bulma´s face was angry
-"He hasn´t been the same since Goku died"- Chi Chi said in a low voice-"I can understand that"
-"I am so sorry, Chi Chi, me worrying about Vegeta, and you...how are you?"- Bulma asked
-"I am okay, I am wishing this time it will be a girl, I have always wanted a little girl, so I can dress her in pink."- Chi Chi answered.-"I have a feeling that this one will be a lovely girl"

Thanks for the reviews...hope you like it...Veggie is my man, I am sad he is not feeling 100 but I always liked a scene from this movie and I want to use it in the fic. I agree, Trunks in DBZ was great, both as a kid and as future trunks, GT trunks was a bit soft, Trunks was great when he was a kid with Goten, he was a mini veggie
