Hey everyone! This story is about what Mirai Trunks thought about Vegeta when he traveled back to the past. I think this is going to be pretty much from Trunks' POV, but I have a habit of changing my mind sometimes, so who knows! I'm planning on this sticking to whenever Vegeta and Trunks were in the same room, when they first met in the past, definitely during the time chamber, and maybe a few made up stuff, but I'm going to try to stick to the timeline. If I mess up, let me know! Thanks and please review when you finish reading : )

PS. I kind of got the idea to do this after reading Sango's story called Unexpected, so I think some of the credit should go to her for some of this. : )

I don't own Dragonball Z or anything that TOEI or Funimation owns.

Mom warned me before I left that I shouldn't expect very much from my father. I didn't believe her, or at least I didn't want to. I couldn't understand why she would say that he wasn't very nice or talkative. If she feels that way, why did she go out with him in the first place? Well, she did tell me that it was more of a fling than dating…but if he was so bad, what did she see in him? When I traveled to the past in my time machine, I found out exactly what my mom was talking about.

I waited for Goku to show up to kill Freiza. I could see my father, my mother, her ex boyfriend, and all of their friends crouching down looking at Freiza. I saw my father, I knew him at once. Mom had described him to me and showed me the one picture she had of him many times. He didn't smile, Mom told me it wasn't his thing to smile and he didn't smile when I saw him in the flesh for the first time either. Mom told me the closest thing to a smile she got out of him was a smirk. My father looked every bit a warrior while he watched Freiza. I could see his hate for the monster barely containing itself inside of him. He looked cold and calculating. I just couldn't believe that this man, excuse me saiyan, was my father. In a way though, I couldn't help but be proud of him. He was, after all, a prince of an entire planet. And he was my father. It was nice seeing him in person since my own father didn't live long enough for me to remember him. Now I got to see how my parents first started out and what led to their 'fling.'

Every once in a while I would look down at my watch to see how much time had passed. Goku wasn't coming fast enough and I thought that I had already dramatically changed the timeline by coming here. Goku did not arrive at the time I was told he would and so I defeated Freiza myself. All the while, I heard everyone being shocked at how strong I was and saying so. They argued over whether or not I was a saiyan. If it hadn't have been for concentrating on killing Freiza, I probably would have laughed!

After I had killed both Freiza and his father King Cold, I looked down at the ground and listened for their voices. I could barely hear them, but I knew that everyone was still there. I looked up in their direction and waved to them to follow me. I tried to sound as nice as I could so they wouldn't be afraid. I heard my some of them grumble about not trusting me, but Mom seemed to trust me and Dad wanted to know who I was so everyone followed me. I brought out a capsule and opened it to reveal many different kinds of drinks. My mom had packed it herself, she remembered what everyone had liked and made sure to have at least two of each kind for everyone. "That way," she had said with a smile, "We'll trust you more."

"Ooh, wow, what a great selection," Gohan said when I opened it and he looked inside.

My younger mom peeked in. "Hey I'm starting to like this guy. He has root beer!" Of course my own mom had to pack in her own favorite drink. She knew her younger self would enjoy it.

"Orange for me!" Gohan said as he grabbed a drink.

From the group of people who still weren't very sure of my motives, I heard Krillen say, "Is there a grape guys?"

"Yeah! Two grapes," Gohan called to him.

Dad of course, didn't drink anything.

My younger mom turned to me and stared at me. I felt her stare more than noticed it. I turned to her and she asked, "Have we met? You look so familiar."

"Uh, no, sorry." I wanted to tell her everything, that I'm her son from the future. I knew she would have understood me completely, but I just couldn't risk not being born. I definitely couldn't tell her in front of my dad. The way he seemed to be, I think if he overheard me saying that I'm his son, he would deny it and never speak to my mom ever again which would mean that I would not be born.

Gohan was now the one looking at me. "Excuse me, mister, but how do you know my dad?"

Again, if I were to tell anyone of my mission, I would have to Gohan. The Gohan in my time was my best friend, master, and the closest thing to a father in my childhood though I considered him like a brother. But I knew I couldn't tell him, so I opted for the best answer I could give that would not give anything away. "Actually, I haven't met your dad before. I've only just heard about him."

"Then how do you know that he's going to arrive at this spot in two hours?" Krillen asked.

"Well that's a- Sorry, I-I can't say."

Before I had left, my mother had given me strict instructions not to tell anyone anything about the future and our world. She told me only to tell these things to Goku and if he really wanted to know, I could tell him who's son I was. Mom knew he could keep a secret, but if I told anyone else anything, it could ruin our plans to save their world.

"Why not?" My father finally decided to say. "I'll tell you because you're up to something. Tell us now, tough guy, who are you?"

"I wish I could. Sorry."

"When you defeated Freiza and that big guy you were a Super Saiyan weren't you?" Gohan asked me.

"Yes. Yes I was."

I could almost feel my father's anger. "That's a lie!" He managed to calm himself down. "Look, my friend, Kakarrot, the one you call Goku, and myself are the only saiyans left. Kakarrot's kid there is half saiyan. So if you count him, that makes three of us. There's no way that you can have saiyan blood."

I kept my eyes locked to the ground. He was challenging me a little, but I didn't really want to have to fight my dad the day I met him. Instead I chose to just keep quiet and let him think what he wanted. Over and over I told myself, "Don't risk the mission. You're here to save the planet, not give your dad something to yell about."

Gohan stepped in and said, "Yeah, but we saw him. He just defeated Freiza and that huge guy all by himself."

"Well I'm calling him a liar, not a weakling."

That was a direct challenge. Everyone gasped and looked at me waiting to see if I would do anything about it, but I'm afraid I left them disappointed if they wanted to see a fight. I stayed put and didn't respond to his challenge.

Everyone stayed quiet for a little bit, then my mom finally noticed my jacket. I have to admit, it was a little dumb on my part to leave it on especially since I wasn't supposed to give any details of who I am, so I had to think quick.

"Oh! Hey, you got our logo on your jacket!" Mom said. "That's my dad's company. Are you one of our employees?"

Deciding to be cryptic I said, "No not exactly. Just a fan." And I wasn't lying, I am a fan of Capsule Corp. I have lived in that building my whole life.

"Oh, I see. Well, tell me your name and I'll recommend you to Dad."

I was grateful and reassured that my mom was so nice. It made me feel at home. It's great to know that my mom would treat a stranger so well.

"I, uh, can't do that. I'm sorry, I know it's strange."

At that point, Tien and Yamucha, my mom's ex, got agitated and tired of my concealing of my identity and started to make fun of me. I wasn't used to people treating me this way. In my time, some people were afraid of my powers, but after they realized I was on their side, they treated me nicely. Yamucha kept going on about me being a spy and mocking me and I just stood there and took it, the only thing I could do without making them hate me. If any one of them began to hate me, then that person would not be willing to listen to me if I ever needed to tell them to do something, they would only be suspicious.

Thankfully my mom stepped in. "Knock it off you guys. You're all just jealous. This guy beat Freiza single handedly, so there!"

After that, everyone quieted down and we all sat down. Dad chose to sit away from the group by himself. Now that we were really up close, I couldn't help but stare at him…especially what he was wearing. It was…interesting I guess. I had never really seen someone wearing yellow pants and a pink shirt. Least of all, I never expected my own father, a warrior, to be wearing that.

"What are you looking at?!" he asked me.

I snapped out of staring at him. "Oh, n-nothing. I just like your shirt."

"You would," he mocked.

I looked away and tried to think of something else, for example, what I would say to Goku when he arrived, I still hadn't figured that out. I wanted to talk to someone, especially my younger mom, but I just couldn't risk it. Maybe I would let something slip and she would figure everything out. My mom has a knack for that! I could never lie to her when I was little and I bet that I wouldn't even be able to lie to this Mom. Eventually though, my gaze drifted back to Dad.

"Why do you keep looking over here?!" He yelled from where he was sitting. "Haven't you ever seen a pink shirt before? If you like it that much you can have it!"

My mom had told me about how my dad hadn't liked that pink shirt too much and while I thought that maybe it would make Mom laugh and bring back memories if I brought it back, I decided to not take it. Who knows, maybe Dad really did like the shirt and only pretended he didn't like pink shirts!

"No, no thank you," I replied.

"Then knock it off kid," he warned me.

I forced myself not to laugh and look down at the ground, but I could still sense him staring me down. I couldn't help but grin a little afterwards.

Everyone continued to wait for another hour until Goku arrived. As soon as he arrived, I got him to talk to me alone and I told Goku about everything. I told him about the androids and how they would appear in three years. I also gave him the medicine I was sent to give. Goku would suffer from a rare heart disease and that was how he had died in my time. Hopefully this would save this Goku and help him to destroy the androids. I warned him not to let anyone know who I am after I had told him who my parents and I were. He fell over laughing when he heard who they were! I would have to agree with him. My parents seem like two completely different people. My mom seemed nice, but a little ditsy and head-strong while my father was…well…grumpy. He didn't seem like a very nice person at all, just like my mom had said. After that, I got out my time machine and left that time to return to my own.

Hope you liked the first chapter! If you noticed at all, I followed their lines from the show…I'm not sure if I'm going to continue to do that in later chapters because it gets a little tedious pausing the VCR every five seconds. I would like to keep the lines in, but I might not. If anyone knows of a site where they have the script for the shows, please let me know and I'll use the lines, otherwise I might only use a few from now on. Okay see ya, please review!
