„So it's us again!", Chibi-Trunks said as he faced his best friend as his opponent in the fighting ring.
„Who else?", Goten replied with a smirk.
„Just remember we both wanna keep it fair this time don't push me into cheating again by doing it first!, Chibi-Trunks reminded his friend.
„Kay", Goten answered and shifted into a fighting position.
„And I'm warning you Goten I won't hold back"
„Me neither!".
„And GO!", the speaker shouted and rang the bell.
The two boys sped towards each other. Without hesitation Trunks used his vision smash, he punched Goten in the face, teleported behind him and kicked him in the back.
Goten let out a yelp as he was hit in the back and flying through the air. He managed to stop and took off against the ground with full speed tackling Trunks hard.
Trunks did a back flip to return to his feet,but as he landed Goten was already flying towards him and smacked him with his knee. Trunks gasped as the oxygen was forced out of his lungs. Goten quickly performed an high kick sending Trunks airborne.
Trunks stopped in the air over Goten and performed a dashing elbow smash into his head.
Goten screamed and held his head in pain.
„Are you giving up already?", Trunks asked mischievously.
Without giving an answer Goten quickly phased out of sighed and reappeared behind his friend. Trunks realized him soon enough and performed a backflip kicking Goten as he flipped. As he landed behind Goten he lashed out at him but Goten phased out of side again and hit him with an uppercut.
Trunks back flipped once more to get some distance between them.
„Wow Goten no bad!, the lavender haired boy smirked and ran towards his friend. Goten did the same. As they met the stated exchanging various punches. It was hard to see anything because they were constantly flashing out of sight but it seemed like none of them was able to land a punch.
„Wow this is amazing, I can't believe it they could have easily entered the adult division!, Tama said baffled as she watched the two young demi Saiyans fight.
„I know right? I wish I was that strong at such a young age!", Mirai-Trunks responded.
„You sure are a good trainer", the strawberry blonde stated and shifted closer.
Mirai-Trunks blushed „Thanks"
The two boys were just phasing out of sight once more, this time their fight continued in the air.
While blocking Trunk's punches Goten managed fly down to a lower level than his friend.
„Here we go!", he exclaimed and performed and ascending kick into Trunk's chin.
The lavender haired boy spit up blood and flew upwards. He quickly sped towards Goten again
and landed in front of him, then he flipped upside down and kicked him in the head several times. With one last strong kick he sent Goten towards the ground.
Goten smashed into the ground.
„Are you ok?" , the speaker inquired.
Goten quickly got up again „Let's go on!", he demanded.
„Give up Goten you can't win!", Trunks shouted.
Now Goten was mad, he was going to try his very best, he wanted to win this time.
He took off in the air towards Trunks and landed several punches in his face.
When Trunks was about to lash out at him he placed both of his hands on his friend's shoulders and kneeled him in the guts.
As Trunks bent over Goten smashed both of his fists into his head causing Trunks to slam into the ground.
„What's that son? Don't dare to lose to Kakarott's brat!", Vegeta yelled from the sidelines.
„What a jerk", Tama thought to herself but didn't say anything.
When Trunks returned to his feet Goten appeared in front of him and grabbed him and threw him up in the air,then he punched and kicked him several times.
„You're a Saiyan prince, now prove you're worth it! Don't dare to put me and the elite of Vegeta-sei to shame Trunks!", Vegeta yelled once more, Bulma smacked him and gave her enraged husband an dirty look. Vegeta didn't mind,, he was totally obsessed with surpassing Goku in every way.
Trunks heard his father yelling. There was nothing he wanted more than his father being proud of him. Now he was in an inner battle should he cheat?
Vegeta just started to show more interest in his son and spending time with him, should he really risk that for a promise he gave Goten? Anyways if he gave Goten some of his toys he wouldn't be mad, at least he hoped so.
While Goten's fists were flying towards him his look wandered over to Mirai-Trunks. He peered at the teenager seeking for help. Mirai-Trunks knew what the young boy was thinking about and shook his head. When Goten let down his guard for a moment Mirai-Trunks shouted: „Now!"
Chibi-Trunks quickly attacked Goten with his elbow followed by a pinch a kick and annuppercut, then he pahsed out of sight and reappeared behind him and knocked him down to the ground with a double axe-handle punch.
Goten hit the ground next to the ring.
„Yes I won!", Chibi-Trunks shouted cheerfully and flicked the victory sing at his older counterpart. Mirai-Trunks smiled and did the same.
„Haha see Kakarott? Third class Saiyans will never be able to keep up with the elite!",Vegeta laughed at Goku.
„Sure Geta", Goku put him off. He didn't really care about who won as long as the kids had fun and enjoyed practicing martial arts.
Chibi-Trunks flew over to where Goten was lying and reached out to him
„Good fight Goten, almost had me", he smirked.
As Goten took Trunk's hand he helped him back on his feet.
„The same to you!", Goten smiled „But Trunks you have to tell me where did you learn this new moves?"
Trunks smirked and pointed over to his future counterpart „Myself. We trained the night before".
„Gohan you shoul've trained with me!", Goten whined.
„Sorry brother but I didn't know about this tournament until this morning!", Gohan replied waving his hands.
„Gohan? I thought you were Gohan?", Tama interposed.
„No sweety that must be a misconception his name is Trunks, the other boy is Gohan", Bulma explained.
„I thought your little brother was Trunks? Why did you tell me you were Gohan?, then her look fell on the blue-haired woman who had just busted Mirai-Trunks' a** without knowing.
„Wait! I know you! You're Bulma Briefs of Capsule Corp. right?
My father bought a plane from you last year! She can't be your mother, and he can't be your brother they always say her child will be the alone heir of the company. What the heck is going on here?", she demanded to know.
„Um Tama... I'm so sorry, um look." Mirai-Trunks stammered.
„You know what? I'm not that kind of girl who gets into a fuss over nothing, and I believe in giving everybody a chance to explain. So think about some words before you explain that weird situation to me. Meet me down at the beach after the sun's down ok?", she suggested. The she kissed Mirai-Trunks on the forehead and left.
He blushed and watched her leave.
„I'm sorry Trunks was it my fault?", Goten piped.
„No chibi it's just a tricky situation", Mirai-Trunks replied and smiled at him.
He groaned as his breath was forced out of him by Chibi-Trunks who was hugging him tightly.
„Thank you so much for showing me your moves I wouldn't have made it without you!", he said all excited over his victory and his new friend helping him achieving it.
Mirai-Trunks picked him up threw him in the air.
„You were great munchkin! More than worthy being a Saiyan prince", he said and cought him. As he did that he gave Vegeta a dirty look. He couldn't believe how rude and heartless his father was towards a little child's feelings.
„Are you mad I lost daddy?", Goten asked and looked down on the ground drawing a circle in the dust with his foot.
„Nonsense! I'm proud of you kid. You put up a great fight you almost had Trunks! There's always next time!, Goku exclaimed and tickled Goten.
The young boy couldn't refuse to laugh and hugged his father.
„I could never be mad at you", Goku whispered.
Meanwhile Vegeta had come to his senses again and walked up to Trunks. He slapped him on the back. „Good job brat, I'm proud!" he muttered.
After the tournament Chichi had invited everyone for lunch at the hotel's restaurant, a venture that could financially ruin you if six of your guests have Saiyan blood.
The Chibis were especially hungry from their exciting day and hastily shoving up everything their mouths they could get.
Mirai-Trunks was picking at his food, an absent look on his eyes.
„What is it sweetheart? Did I get you in some kind of trouble with that girl? If so I'm sorry I didn't know you were like, in disguise"; Bulma asked as she picked up her sons mood.
„It's ok mother I got myself into it I guess", he muttered in response.
Suddenly Vegeta chimed in. „Never run after a woman son, it's not worth it"
„Excuse me what did you just say?", Bulma shouted wit a threatening voice.
„You heard me", he went on just to see his wife getting into a fuss „But you are of course the exception of the rule."
„Never take advice in love affairs from your father, and you...", she turned to Chibi-Trunks and winked „...can keep that in mind too sweety just come to me".
„Yeah because you have made such great decisions in the past", Vegeta laughed referring to her relationship with Yamcha.
Goku couldn't help it but to roar with laughter.
„What is your problem?!", Bulma yelled at her friend.
„ I'm sorry Bulma I just remembered the first time I visited you in West-City when you kicked out Yamcha because he had so many fans. You have to admit you weren't very diplomatic".
Bulma was about to say something but Chibi-Trunks cut her off
„As much as Goten and I would love to hear your stories, we got places to go", he said and stood up.
„Exactly", Goten added and joined his friend.
Gohan watched them leave „What places do two little kids have to go?"
„ They'll probably try out the water slides. Anyways Trunks I wouldn't worry too much about it she didn't seem mad at all.", Bulma tried to calm her sons counterpart down.
Trunks was marching towards the lobby followed by Goten.
„Trunks! Trunks! Wait for me!", Goten shouted as he closed lines.
„Couldn't we have waited until we finished dinner?", the boy whined.
„No Goten this is the perfect time", Trunks hissed. Actually their venture could have waited some minutes more of course but Trunks didn't want to hear anything about his mother and Yamcha.. He was feeling uncomfortable every time this subject was brought up and liked to blur things that happened before he was born out.
Tama just got out of the shower when there was a knocking on her suite's door.
She quickly wrapped a white towel around her tan body and hurried to the door.
When she opened it two little half Saiyans were peering up on her.
„Oh hi kids, what do want?", she asked puzzled.
„Hi, we were just around.."
„What my friend is trying to say can we please come in an talk to you?", Chibi-Trunks cut his best friend off.
„Um ok sure come on in.", the baffled girl ushered them inside.
Trunks and Goten took a seat on the couch and looked around the room.
„Make yourself a home boys, I'll just go get dressed", she said as she walked towards her bedroom.
„So Trunks what we gonna do?", Goten asked as the girl was out of earshot.
„Easy Goten! We'll just tell her how nice and awesome I a... I mean my future-self is and then she'll forgive him and maybe they get married and he will stay in our timeline and I'll finally have a big brother!", Chibi-Trunks cheerfully answered.
„That would be great!", Goten smiled and slapped his friend on the back.
Then Tama came back, she had slipped into a plain white summer-dress.
She passed each boy a glass of fruit juice and sat down on the chaise lounge opposite of them.
„So cuties to what do I owe the honor of this visit?", she asked as she ran a brush trough her wavy hair.
„We just wanted to know if you're really mad at Trunks?", Chibi-Trunks inquired. Tama ignored the fact that he just called the teenager Trunks again, when this was actually supposed to be the little boy's name and smiled at him.
„As I said I'm not mad, I just want an explanation"
„That's great, he's a really nice guy", Goten piped.
„Yes he's awesome!", Trunks added.
Tama chuckled" That's sweet of you guys but I know that already."
„You're also a really nice lady", Goten said.
„And very pretty", Trunks chirped.
„Oh thank you boys", Tama stood up and picked both boys up.
„I'll meet him tonight, don't worry I'm sure everything will turn out just fine. Now do you guys want to help me pick out what to wear?"
„Yes!", the answered in unison and wrapped their arms around her.
