Ch 54

They had been on the trail for three days now and decided to stop to refuel and gather some supplies. Plus the ship needed some maintenance that Trunks couldn't do while they were flying in space. Baba recommended a planet she visited on some occasion.

"It's called Biolo. Their gravitation is similar to earth as well as its atmosphere. The inhabitants are friendly."

"Well that's a relief," said Trunks.

"We can get everything we need there," said Baba.

"How long do you think this will all take?" asked Goten.

"A day, two tops but don't worry Goten. We'll get to where we need to be," said Trunks.

"I know," he smiled at Trunks before he stared off into space.

Once they landed, Baba insisted on going into town for the supplies since she was familiar with the area, leaving Goten to watch Trunks work on the ship. He was also keeping a look out just in case there happened to be not so friendly aliens.

The scenery was nice, and it was quite hot on this planet but every now and then a cool breeze passed that made him feel comfortable again. 'I can only imagine how uncomfortable Trunks must be working under the ship, he thought as he went to check on his mate. "How's it going Trunks?"

Trunks slid out from under the ship and sighed. "It's hot, but I'm managing," he said as he took out a capsule, threw it, and grabbed onto the bottled water.

"I have to hand it to you, you're always prepared."

"Well if I wasn't, I think I'd suffer from heat stroke under the ship," he said before swallowing some water. "Want some?"

"Yeah thanks," smiled Goten as he took a sip and handed it back to him. "You look like you could use more sleep Trunks."

"Probably, but I think 'I'll wait until Baba comes back with the gas," he said as he looked up at the sky. "We should probably stay here for the night and leave at sunrise," said Trunks as he set his watch. "I have it set to earth time."

"It's pretty nice here, well despite the heat. So how much more needs to be done with the ship?"

"We just need gas, and the ship needs to rest for the night. I all ready made the necessary repairs to the ship, so we're set for the most part."

"Good. You're always someone I can count on," Goten smiled. Trunks smiled back.

Baba got back with the supplies and the gas. Trunks filled up the tank and then joined his mate and Baba for some dinner.

"So, is there a reason you don't want us exploring this planet Baba?" asked Goten.

"Well the inhabitants are friendly, especially some of the single females."

"Oh, you didn't want Trunks to be trampled to death. That's so kind of you," Goten laughed.

"Just what are you implying Goten?" asked Trunks.

"The female species love you Trunks," said Goten.

"Yeah," Trunks smirked, "too bad I only love you," he said as Goten blushed.

"You're sweet together," said Baba. "I really hope you two boys find what you're looking for."

"Thanks Baba," said Goten.

"So, how far are we from the library anyway?" asked Trunks.

"We should arrive in two days."

"What's this library like Baba?" asked Goten.

"It's a room of books about everything in the universe. It can be overwhelming but to book lovers it's paradise. It is guarded by two soldiers on the outside as well as in the inside. These soldiers make sure no books are taken out of the library, and they only let in people who are deemed worthy."

"What do they deem worthy?" asked Trunks.

"Beings with good intentions, and they will be the judge of that. They will go over your histories and ask you some questions to make their final decision," said Baba.

"So, there's a chance they won't let us in?" asked Trunks.

"Yes," said Baba.

"Well I think we'll make it Trunks,"said Goten.

"You should be more confident like your mate," Baba smiled.

Trunks sighed. "You're right. I just like to have all my bases covered."

"You need to relax Trunks, everything will work out?"

"Why are you so sure about that?" asked Trunks as Goten held his hand and smiled. Trunks heard his mate inside his head, and he said, 'I've always been sure about us.'
