here's the next chapter. hope you enjoy.


"Sorry father, but Goku isn't here anymore," said a familiar voice as Vegeta turns to see his future son where the androids ruled the earth wearing black robe.

"Trunks but how?" Vegeta asked, surprised by seeing his future son.

"I got here in a time machine. Don't worry about the details. Just think of me as the Saiyan of Christmas Future."

Before Vegeta could ask anything else, Trunks grabs onto Vegeta and they phased away. We find ourselves in a rundown Capsule Corp where baby Trunks is with his grandparents as they sing him Christmas carols but Bulma is off to the side with a beer in her hand.

"Oh Vegeta, why did you have to rush off and get yourself killed? Now with Piccolo dead we can't wish you back," Bulma started crying her eyes out hoping to make sure little Trunks didn't see her like this.

"Mom always tried to put a brave face on for me, especially around this time of the year but I could tell she was sad because you were gone," said Trunks as the memory faded out and this time a five year old Trunks was with his mom in a cemetery near three graves.

"Oh Mom and Dad, look at how much Trunks has grown up. Vegeta I hope you are at peace where ever you are. I really think that if I could have shown you what Christmas was all about, you would have loved it in a few years." Bulma then places three plastic Christmas trees on the graves before a siren blares out, "Come on Trunks, we need to hide right now."

Soon the sight of Bulma running with a young Trunks faded away.

"I know you may not have liked some of the things that happen at Christmas Father, but it is a magical time of the year where families are suppose to be together," said Trunks as he shows him one last stop but this one is of a younger Trunks with Vegeta and Bulma's parents in a cemetery. All of them are looking at one tombstone before Vegeta looks at what the future him is looking at with a solemn face. Vegeta falls to his knees as he looks at what the tombstone said.

'Here lies Bulma Briefs, Loving Daughter, Mother, and Wife. She died broken hearted.'

"Mother never forgave herself for ruining your first Christmas and could never be the same again," said Trunks with tears in his eyes.

"Bulma...blamed herself for all of that?" Vegeta asked.

"Yes. And it looks like time is up. Farewell, father."

As everything turns to black, Vegeta wakes up, finding himself back in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.


yeah, sad I know. hope you liked it.
