Chapter 3: Does he notice?

Goku sat in his living room staring at the egg shelled colored walls. 'Eww, why would Chi Chi pick such an ugly color, hmmm orange would have looked so much better' he contemplated. Sighing Goku stretched and got up from his couch. It was time for lunch. Making his way to the kitchen he rummaged through the refrigerator in search of something to eat. Putting out all the makings for a perfect 'Goku' sized appetite he began to make his lunch. The sudden loud ringing from the kitchen phone startled Goku.

Walking over to the receiver he picked up. "yyyeeeellloowww" he smiled knowing what horrible phone manners he had, boy if Chi Chi was still alive she would have surely slapped him for that.

"Goku, its Trunks. I was wondering if you have seen my father."

"Um, actually I have, I was at CC about two hours ago, why, what's wrong?"

"Oh, you were, Um" there was a pause. "Well, do you know how he is doing; I haven't seen him in months. I know it's partially my fault because I have been busy trying to run the company since mom is gone. But I mean, he doesn't even make a damn effort to at least occasionally bump into me or make some rude remark. Goku he hasn't even forced me to stop work to train. Something is wrong with him, I was wondering if… well I was wondering if you could … maybe… probably" Goku noticed the direction this conversation was heading. Bulma did this to him all the time when she wanted him to check on the disturbed prince.

"Say no more Trunks, I Know you want me to check on him. Fine, you got it"

Trunks smiled on the other end. He was really relieved and happy that Goku was going to check on his father. Vegeta had gone missing in his own house. Trunks never saw him. Sometimes he would purposely walk around Vegeta's side of the complex to repair some random object just to see if he would ever get the chance to bump into his father. He knew that he didn't have the courage enough to stand up to his father and demand an explanation as to why he hasn't been keeping in touch with him and his sister. He knew what his father's answer would be- that he was fine and was perfectly capable of taking care of himself. Trunks knew that his dad had taken the separation from Bulma very hard. He didn't think that Vegeta would actually want to stay in the same house with the same onna who kicked his ass to the curb. Trunks wondered if his dad had ever experienced a break up in his life. Trunks noticed that he had dazed out and that Goku was going on and on about something and Trunks had no clue what he was referring to. Pushing the idea about his father's past romantic life out of his head, Trunks tried to catch onto the last things that Goku was saying.

"-then he just stopped talking. It was kinda funny actually."

"……"

"Trunks, you get the joke right?" Goku questioned.

"Uh yeah, haha" Trunks laughed, not knowing at all what the gentle warrior was referring to. "I can't believe he just stopped talking" Trunks added in for good measure. If he made it seem like he heard everything Goku said it would be better than having to hear the whole story over, which probably wasn't even funny at all.

"Thank Kami Trunks! I thought I was the only one who found that funny, everyone else told me I it wasn't, at least I know they were all wrong. HA HA!" Goku exclaimed triumphantly.

'Hmm, I knew it' Trunks thought. Before Goku could find another ridiculously unfunny joke to tell Trunks decided to remind him about the favor he asked of him. "So, Goku remember. Please, PLEASE talk to him, cheer him up, beat him up, I don't care. Just please bring him back to the land of the living."

"GOT IT!" Goku said

"Thanks Goku, you are the best. Have a nice day, bye."

Goku hung up the phone but gasped and quickly snatched it off the base and dialed the number to Capsule Corp.

"Hello?" came a female voice.

"Yea, hello, Um this is Goku, I.. uh .. is Trunks there?"

"Yes Mr. Goku sir. Please hold while I transfer you." The secretary politely said. Goku nodded even though he knew that she couldn't see him.

"Yea Goku? What happened?" Goku took in a huge breath as if he was about to tell Trunks some very important news.

"Trunks! Exactly how am I suppose to bring Vegeta back to the land of the living if he's not dead?!"

Blinking, Trunks sighed. Sometimes it was like Goku was just too damn silly. Shaking his head Trunks spoke into the phone.

"Figure of speech Goku, figure of speech."
