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 ...

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.
