TRUNKS AND LOVE "What is it, are you sleeping, Trunks?". "No, we can go on. I was just thinking." Trunks really couldn't concentrate anymore today and after 6 hours of training it was no wonder. Vegeta also took his 16 year old son really hard. After all, the 34th Great Fighting Tournament was soon to be held, and Trunks were supposed to take part.


After the training ended, both father and son went home to eat. Trunks' mother, Bulma was already waiting for her. "I could eat a whole house!" Said Trunks hungrily. Vegeta just shook his head while Bulma laughed and filled his plate.


In contrast to Bulma or Trunks, Vegeta was a rather headstrong and proud guy. He didn't care much about everyday things, but led a life of his own.His only big dream was to become the strongest man in the universe. He would be very close to his goal (he is the second strongest man ever !!) if it weren't for Son Goku.


Son-Goku is the strongest man of all and also very popular. He and Vegeta are eternal enemies and Goku's strength always makes Vegeta totally mad.


Trunks was very different. Although he didn't always like his father, he let him train him for a long time. Trunks also wanted to be the strongest. In battle, he and Vegeta saw themselves as rivals.


Trunks did not imitate the (many) murders of his father, but was rather a good-natured and calm person who also knew how to use his head. He helped his mother, who owned the Capsule Corporation, with many experiments. Later he was supposed to be the manager of it.


Bulma is one of the most famous people all over the world. She is popular and rich. Much to Vegeta's annoyance, she is a good friend of Goku.

So all three sat together over dinner and each indulged in his own thoughts.




"Hey, Mom, can I call Goten?" Trunks wanted to know. Son-Goten is the youngest son of Son-Goku and Trunks' best friend. Bulma smiled: “Well, as long as you don't do anything with my capsules!” Trunks immediately thought of the capsule car that had been wrecked. Evasively, he said: "OK, I'll call him now!"


As soon as he had dialed Son-Goten's phone number, someone picked it up and a screeching woman's voice shouted into the receiver: "Son-Gohan is finally coming home! Your love games with Videl are getting on my nerves slowly! You should study for your exam ! Come on ... "Trunks had to keep the receiver away from his ear, the screeching was so loud. Now he said carefully into the receiver: "Um, ... Chi-Chi here, ... uh, ... this is not Gohan, I'm Trunks ...". Suddenly there was silence on the other end of the line. "Oh, Trunks, it's you!I'm sorry, but I can't find Gohan! You know ... "" Um, could I talk to Goten? "With Chi-Chi he always felt queasy as soon as this woman was worried about her children. Gohan was already 22 and she always treated him and Son-Goten like five-year-olds. Chi-Chi said, very embarrassed:


"I'll get it right away, wait a minute!"


Shortly afterwards, Trunks and Son-Goten arranged to meet in the mountains. They talked about this and that and Chi-Chi's screaming fits.


After a while they practiced together for the fighting tournament, in which Son-Goten would also take part. Trunks found that training with Goths was much better than training with his father.


During a pause the two talked again. Somehow they came up with the topic of girls or girlfriends. Neither of them had ever had a girlfriend. They didn't care much about girls or going out either. They were always just about fighting. Vegeta had impressed on Trunks that he didn't need a girlfriend, but his mother, who was all too familiar with such things, always tried to match him with girls, but that had never worked because Vegeta had usually interfered.But he often wished for a girlfriend, but until now the right one has never been there. He didn't even want to imagine how his father would react if he brought a girlfriend home with him ...


But not only did he not have a girlfriend, but also Son-Goths. His mother always used to say: "Wax up a little, my little darling, because once you have a girlfriend, then you won't be with your mommy so much anymore. And that would make me soooooo sad!"


When Trunks told Son-Goten how he would love to have a (pretty) girlfriend, Son-Goten said, very embarrassed: "I think that once you have a girlfriend, I'll be pretty jealous. After all, you're my best friend! "Trunks had to laugh unintentionally:


"Hey, you idiot, I won't just let you lie on the left! You wouldn't do that either, would you? And now let's continue training. I want to win the fighting tournament and not be eliminated because of too little training in the first round !Otherwise my father might kill me! Let's go! "Son-Goten nodded and the day passed.




The next day was a wonderful spring day, as you can only imagine it: birds were singing, the sun was shining and a cool breeze stirred.


Trunks didn't get to enjoy the morning, because Vegeta had already shooed him out of bed at sunrise. He wanted to train before Bulma annoyed him again with her "oh what a nice day". That was quite an annoyance to him. And because he needed someone to train with, he took Trunks with him.


Both of them soon felt the midday heat, so they took a break. Trunks said out of breath: "Tell me, can't we break up for today? I'm totally exhausted, I'm hot and I'll soon fall out of my shoes!" Vegeta grinned: "What doesn't kill you makes you strong, son! you that and train yourself a little more condition!"Trunks just thought," Oh God !!!! "so they kept practicing.


About half an hour later someone called into the hall where Vegeta and Trunks were training, "Huhu ?! Hey, you two strong fighters, how about some refreshment?" It was Bulma who had prepared a picnic outside in the grass. Only now did Trunks notice how his stomach growled.


Outside, all three crouched on the grass and began to eat. Bulma broke the silence by saying to Trunks: "You, I just remembered that we are all invited to Goku and Chi-Chi for a barbecue tonight!" Vegeta twisted her mouth at the name of Goku. Bulma added to him: "And if we are all meant, then we are all meant too! You included! Oh yes, Trunks! Chi-Chi wanted us to take some baguette bread with us because she forgot which one to go with Couldn't you go to the bakery and buy some? "Trunks did his mother this favor and Vegeta finally agreed to come too.

Trunks met Son-Gohan, Son-Goten's big brother, at the bakery. He told him that his father Son-Goku had invited almost the whole neighborhood as well as the whole group Z with families. Before saying goodbye to Trunks, he said with a smile: “There are sure to be some pretty girls who are still single!” He gave Trunks a little pat on the shoulder and flew away. He hadn't even thought of this possibility of maybe finding a friend at the barbecue. But most of the neighborhood girls just weren't his taste ...


Besides, he's never had any luck with girls anyway.


On the way home (he flew as most fighters do) he imagined what it would be like if he were actually lucky. Trunks was completely lost in thought, so that he almost flew into a huge fir tree.


It was just before half past seven and the barbecue was supposed to start at eight. Trunks listened to Bulma's advice, "If you want to impress a girl, dress properly!That's how I got hold of your father! "And put on a light purple shirt (matching the hair color) and black jeans.


There was a knock and Bulma came in. "Well, already done?", She looked at him from the bottom up, Trunks hated that, reaching the shirt collar she said: "Well, you have to open the collar! It looks much better!" She opened three buttons, looked at him and nodded approvingly. She herself wore a short mini-skirt and an off-the-shoulder top. Both in bright red. Trunks thought of her words "dress properly" and found that this didn't apply to her. He looked at himself in the mirror and said, embarrassed:


"Don't you think that this is too ... well ... daring ..." "But Trunks, that's exactly right! You are like your father! Typical Saiya-jin!" Shaking her head, she went out and shouted after Vegeta.


Finally they made their way to Son Goku. Vegeta's expression indicated that he had no need to go to the barbecue.He didn't like parties anyway. Bulma, on the other hand, was really looking forward to delighting the other guests with her outfit. She just liked to be the center of attention. Trunks was pretty excited too, because who knows what else could happen that evening.


Even Goten saw his chance, he and Trunks had talked for two hours by phone about the barbecue and about his guests the previous evening. As he learned from his mother, some pretty girls would also come to the festival. Both were very, very enthusiastic about it ...


When Trunks and his parents finally got there, it was pretty busy. Chi-Chi and Son-Goten received them. Chi-Chi and Bulma went straight to the kitchen because the baguette ran out.


To Vegeta's annoyance, Son-Goku came to introduce him to the guests. But also by an annoyed "Kakarott, piss off and leave me alone!" Son-Goku did not let himself be dissuaded from his plan. "Aaaach, Vegeta old buddy, don't let yourself go like this!"And poor Vegeta was dragged along.


Trunks whispered to Son-Goten: "Well, have you found someone yet?" Son-Goten smiled meaningfully. "Say, just ... !!" "Yes, her name is Kaori and is the 15-year-old sister of a friend of Gohan's! She is soooo cute!" Son-Goten's look had changed completely. Trunks feared the worst. Besides, he was the one who got jealous now. What if he couldn't find anyone and Goten just toddled around all evening. He quickly chased this thought away again.


"OK, then I'll show you around, right?" Trunks just
