Second Chapter : Plotting The Revenge
___________________________________________________________________________
When everything looks right,
When everything runs smooth,
something is ought to happen,
that makes it all ruin.
By, Chi Chi, taken from her poetry notebook, a fragment of a poem called "Something Always Happens"
___________________________________________________________________________
For Saiya-jins, blood lines and pride and honor are second in importance after strength, that's why King Vegita found a lack of honor in his great blood line worst that any other "crime". Of course settling in a planet inhabited with "Weak little pathetic humans" (words quoted from King Vegita's own words) and even marrying one (me) and worst of all, letting all this "trash" (again words by our great, peaceful and not arrogant at all, King Vegita, so there's where Vegita took off) live. That's why he wanted vengeance with Prince Vegita worst than with Freeza, that was the one who eventually wiped out the Saiya-jin race ...
By, Bulma Briefs, taken from her book "An attempt to enter the Saiya-jin culture" chapter 4, page 51.
***************************************************************************
King Vegita has now come to a decision, he will call those scientists again, he wanted to go to the future, somehow, he believed them.
King Vegita called in Chuntra and Dantreo. He looked at them impassive while they visibly shook in fear, he smiled, he liked having that effect in people. He looked at them a little more.
Vegita : So, scientists, tell me about that machine. I want to know more about this strange future you have been talking me about, tell me more about my son and his settlement in Earth.
Dantreo : Well, your highness, your son Vegita goes to Earth in a attempt to conquer it, but is defeated by Kakaroto ...
Vegita : What ? Defeated by a low class soldier, what kind of baka do you take me for.
Chuntra : Sir, if you would like I could show you in the machine...
Vegita : Hai, do so ...
Chuntra and Dantreo go out of the palace, after some minutes we see them dragging in a small, prism like artifact. They bring it in and place it in the floor. Dantreo pushes some buttons and says ...
Dantreo : Your highness, we have configured the time machine's coordinates to the time of Vegita's defeat (ahem, cough, clears throat) and then, we'll see a scene of 30 years later in which he is settled in planet Earth that is inhabited with a strange race that looks roughly like Saiya-jin, have almost the same anatomy, but are weaker called humans (looks nervous) and has two children, halve-breads ...
Vegita : Go ahead you baka,. spare me the technical, just show me ...
Dantreo : (ahem) Hai, Vegita-sama.
Then, Chuntra pushes yet another button and a holographic beam comes out from the machine. Then, just like TV images pass by. Goku's and Vegita's battle and then another scene, Vegita and a lavander haired woman and a teenage boy and a girl fighting. Everything looked so real, Vegita was totally convinced.
Vegita : So, my boy grows to be a coward and a traitor. He'll pay for it. I want to go to the future.
Dantreo : Itsu ?
Vegita : As soon as possible, I'll have my revenge on that weak son of mine, he has contaminated the Vegita dynasty, he'll pay for it, he'll die.
In the present .....
Goten : Yo, Trunks, slow down, I need a rest.
Trunks : Since when do you need rest ?
Goten : Since today. I need mental rest, that pop quiz let me hanging down.
Trunks : Well, you were the one who decided not to study.
Goten : You say that because you came out of school last year, you think that just because you are a year older than me, you can act like a daddy.
Trunks : Hey ! I just told you, you didn't study, is that a lie, or would you like me to tell your mommy.
Goten : Hey ! I'm 18 years old, don't treat me like your little brother !
Trunks : Fiscally, you are an adult, mentally you are a 10 year old maximum.
Goten : At least I don't date a sophomore !
Trunks : If I want I can date 11 years old, that is my problem.
Goten : Yeah, but Marron, she is 16 years old and overly sweet, she gives me a toothache. And does Krilin know you are dating her ?
Trunks : I care for my problems, not you, and look who is speaking about sweetness.
Goten : Well, well, look now who is the touchy one. And, just a detail, friends are made specially to mind his friend business.
Trunks : Well, Marron is my girl, my problem.
Goten : I better go home to study, and don't bother to come for dinner, *friend*.
Trunks : Fine, have it your way, I'll take my girlfriend Marron to a movie today, I don't need your food.
So they both go to their house, disgusted with each other ...
That night, we can hear a mother and daughter conversation, not so pleasant for the daughter, that's for sure ...
#18 enters Marron's room. Marron is staring glazed eyed at a photograph in her hands, a closer inspection would reveal it is a photograph of Trunks. When #18 enters, at first Marron doesn't see her entrance, but when she does, she quickly hides her photograph, but not quickly enough.
Marron : Mom, I'm going to Bra's house tonight (she said with a too rushed voice)
#18 :Is that so (one of her pale eyebrows rise)
Marron : Yes, and we are going to watch a movie ...
#18 : Since when have you been so friendly with Bra. If my memory serves me right, some weeks ago I heard you say to Pan over the phone "That Bra is such a snob, because she is rich she thinks she is the best, all she does is shop"
Marron : (she blushes) Well, some things have changed ...
#18 : Yeah, like her brother, so Marron, tell me, how long have you been dating him ?
Marron : Wha, what, I'm not dating him ! !
#18 : Did you know you are a terrible liar ? Now, again, how long have you been dating him...
Marron : Three weeks. How did you know ?
#18 : You blush each time you hear his name, your sudden interest in "snobby" Bra and this that I found on the floor of your room...
She showed Marron a peace of paper, in it were the words "I Love Trunks" plastered all over.
#18 : You'll have to do better than that to hide something like that. So, you are going to the movies with him tonight hmmm.
Marron : Yes, I'm sorry mom, I thought you'd be furious with me if you knew.
#18 : Worst is lying.
Marron : I'm sorry ..
#18 : OK. This is your first boyfriend, so change to a dress that'll impress him and go out to his house.
Marron : But what if dad finds out.
#18 : Don't worry, I'll deal with him. Hurry of you'll be late, and that's not good in a date ..
Marron : Thanks mom...
Meanwhile, Goku and Ubuu are in the Son house in Satan City. A year ago Ubuu moved in and has been sleeping in what had been Gohan's room.
Goku : Are you hungry Ubuu ?
Ubuu : What a question Goku ! Of course I am ! !
Goku : OK. Let's go to the kitchen.
In the kitchen was Chi Chi, washing the dishes.
Goku : Chi Chi, we are hungry.
Chi Chi : You have just eaten dinner.
Ubuu : But we are still hungry ...
Chi Chi : Do I look like a cooking machine ! !
Goku : No..
Chi Chi : Oh you Baka (she said so gently it sounded like "my love"), that was figurative language !
Goku : Figure what ?
Chi Chi : Oh, never mind, look for something in the fridge, I'll be in our room when you finish talking. I'm just exhausted.
Goku : What is wrong with her ?
Ubuu : When was the last time you went out to eat ?
Goku. Hmmm, let me see, ah, ahem, I don't remember ..
Ubuu : You see, you have to do that someday, and always complement her on her cooking.
Goku : But I do !
Ubuu : Not enough.
Goku : But she know I like her cooking ...
Ubuu : You have to say it to her, a lot of times..
Goku : Why isn't one time enough ?
Ubuu. She has to feel appreciated.
Goku : I don't get it
Ubuu : You'll never do. You are my sensei, but I have to teach you common sense...
Marron's diary, 752 days after the last Tenkai-ichi Budoukai :
Tonight I went in a date with Trunks. It was so romantic...First we went to the movies and saw a romantic movie, when we went out of the theater we were in the mood. Then we went to a restaurant and ate. I'm always shocked at how much he eats, but he was being a little more civilized (in what food concerns) and then we talked a little. He told me about great battles, and I told him about school. I wonder what he sees in me. Well, at least I got my mother's eyes, hair and body, what more is to ask ? Then he took me to his home, and from there I would go with Bra to my house. When we got to the door of his house, he kissed me, my lips are still tingling. I swear I'll never wash my mouth again. Thinking better of it, I better do it, because then I'll have bad breath, yuck. My mother already know about Trunks, thanks to Kami-sama she wasn't mad.
