agony ... That could be something!




"Goten is really a spoilsport!" Trunks was a bit angry, because Goten had ... contrary to their original plans ... separated from the troops. "Oh Trunks ..." Ice tried to reassure his friend "... leave him alone! The poor guy is already suffering from withdrawal symptoms ... He hasn't been able to hit a girl properly for over three days because of the house arrest! And on her Roshi's booklet doesn't help for long either ... "Ok, yes, that was an argument that could be accepted."All right ..." Trunks sighed, "... but now I want to see the pterosaurs!" So the two of them made their way to a huge building with a dome-shaped roof, where, as Trunks knew, the pterosaurs are housed. He was impressed. Inside there were visitor galleries at the edge on different levels one above the other, separated from the enclosure by a thick pane of glass. If you were on the top level, like our boys now, you could see the tops of the trees planted in the enclosure and the nests of the dinosaurs. Although Ice would originally have preferred to see the penguins, he now also pressed his nose against the pane, there was just too much to see. Four different species lived in this enclosure ... the largest had a wingspan of over ten meters! And one of the smaller species was just being fed, all hell broke loose at the feeding place! And further back, in the bushes ... there were just two mating. Sufficient reason for the two boys to giggle wildly.And in one of the tallest trees there was a nest, actually nothing special, but there were eggs in this nest. And the young dinosaurs were just about to hatch. "Man Ice ... I have to see that up close!" Trunks exclaimed enthusiastically. "You're unlucky ..." said Ice "... we can't get any closer!" Well, he didn't know Trunks well! It would find a way to get closer to the nest! “Come on, Ice!” And Trunks had hissed off. Ice, who had absolutely no idea what his friend was up to, just followed him ... He didn't have to wait long to at least suspect something. Trunks ran purposefully towards a door that had a sign that read 'Entry only for zoo staff'. This door led into the pterosaur enclosure ...




Goten had other worries now. The `little one` he wanted to hook up with had done what all girls seem to do with him sooner or later. She had taped him one and was gone.Now he was looking for ice and trunks ... he turned a corner ... and almost ran into his teacher! He owed it only to his Saiyajin reflexes that she looked quite confused from the laundry ... after all, what was hissing in front of her nose looked vaguely like one of her students ... but she did not suspect anything. Phew! That had just gone well ...




"Man Ice! Now hurry up!" The two were in the enclosure and were now trying to find the tree with the nest. Without being noticed by the dinosaurs, the keepers who were feeding, or the zoo visitors. Not an easy undertaking ... And especially not when you dawdle like Ice! Finally they had made it ... they were standing next to the tree in question. "Flying or Climbing?" asked Ice, he didn't particularly like either. He wasn't afraid of heights, or anything like that ... but if you would see them ... Uiuiuiui! "Climb!" Trunks replied "It's more fun ..." Well, he had to know.So the two boys climbed up the trunk of the thirty meter high tree ... At the same time, the school class, accompanied by the teacher, had just reached the pterosaur hall. They entered one of the visitor galleries just in time to see Trunks and Ice. In any case, her classmates saw her, the teacher had her back to the window and was about to start her lecture about pterosaurs when ... "Ms. Haiku, look! Trunks and ice are in the dinosaurs!" Kimo, of course. Nerd, slimy ... and whatnot. If it were about any other student, she would have rebuked Kimo and asked him why he was telling such nonsense. But it was about Trunks' letters, and she was quite capable of doing something like that. So she turned around ... but Trunks and Ice were neither stupid nor blind, and so they quickly climbed onto the side of the tree that could not be seen from the galleries. And so, when Ms. Haiku turned around, saw ... nothing.Just trees, a few dinosaurs ... But no trunks and no ice. She sighed and turned back to the class ... "Kimo, you have a blooming imagination!" But in the meantime the two had climbed back to the other side of the tree and waved to their classmates. Ice even with both hands, since he could hold on with his tail. This led to suppressed salmon volleys and violent protests from Kimo. "But Ms. Haiku! They are really in there!" With a sigh, she turned around again ... Trunks Briefs could do anything ... and the boys repeated the game. Ms. Haiku was getting a little angry. "Kimo ... I think I have to talk to your parents!" That sat and Kimo was silent. In the meantime, Goten had also reached the pterosaur enclosure. He had remembered that the two of them really wanted to see the dinosaurs and the penguins ... Since he had not found them with the penguins, they must be here. His mouth fell open when he saw her climbing around in the enclosure ... And his heart almost stopped when he saw that the whole class was in the visitors' gallery ... less than ten meters away from him.That became a bit too dangerous for him. There were two possibilities ... either he would quickly run away in order not to run the risk of being discovered by the 'empty body' ... or he would quietly join the class again, as if he were never been away. He chose the latter. But before that he waved to the two climbers again ... afterwards he wouldn't have any more opportunity. The number was just too weird ... Ms. Haiku gave her talk. Whenever she turned to the class, Trunks and Ice made all sorts of nonsense, which of course led to amusement. Every time the teacher turned to the enclosure to show something, the two were gone in a flash. Which left the young teacher with the uncomfortable feeling that SHE was the reason for the general amusement. After two minutes she was tripping nervously from one foot to the other ... After five minutes she was slowly turning red ... after seven minutes bright red ... and after ten minutes she was about to fall into a crying fit.



In the meantime Piccolo and Gohan ... and of course Nail ... had already started their training. Although Gohan actually trained very little, he preferred to watch how his former mentor struggled with his newest student. He had to bite his lip more than once to avoid accidentally laughing out loud. Nail could safely be described as ... um ... a little clumsy. Sleight of hand. At four weeks, body control is not that far off, even for a Namekian. And it was precisely this clumsiness that drove Piccolo crazy ... and the funniest actions. Gohan sat on a rock and watched the two of them. If you didn't know better, you might think Nail was Piccolo's son and not Dendes. Both wore the same clothes, both looked very similar ... Well, somehow all young Namekians looked more or less the same. He had already noticed that with Little Piccolo. Even if this one, in contrast to Nail, who shone like a honey cake horse the whole time, always had a slightly nasty facial expression ... Then the devil came through again.Gohan hung on to his thoughts, playing around with the protruding end of his belt ... Until he heard a heartbreaking cry. Nail. Piccolo must have hit him unhappily and harder than he wanted. Gohan looked up ... and didn't know which of the two to console first. Nail crouched on the floor, clutching his arm, and howling to soften the stone. Piccolo stood by and looked like he was about to start too. He was sorry that he had hurt the little one ... but he also didn't know what to do now. If it wasn't Nail, but Gohan, Goku or one of the other fighters ... Piccolo would probably have just said that he shouldn't get in line like that. But Nail ... Looking for help, he looked at Gohan, who did not take long to ask. He slipped off the rock, walked over to the two of them and picked up Nail on his arm ... "Show me ..." He carefully felt the injured arm. Nail was reluctant to let Gohan approach him, it really hurt. "Ouch!"Nail winced and sniffed ... Piccolo just watched. He liked Nail ... no question about it. But that didn't make it any easier. The kid was crying all the time, it was almost worse than it was with Gohan. And. And." if ... "... PICCOLO! "Piccolo started with shock" What, Gohan? "Gohan shook his head ..." Oh man! I've been screaming my lungs out of my throat for almost two minutes ... and you're not reacting at all! The arm is broken ... Dende should be able to do it, right? "Surely Dende would manage that, what a question! Only ... if he found out that Piccolo had seriously injured his son ... Piccolo was plagued by a guilty conscience." Hey Piccolo ... it's not that bad Gohan tried to cheer him up, Piccolo hadn't said a word about his concerns, but the expression on his face spoke volumes ... Does he have any idea, thought the ex-devil. Dende is going to freak out!




As for the school trip, it was now drawing to a close.The visit to the Zookino was canceled, but otherwise at least Trunks and Ice had stuck to their original plan. They were all already on the bus, on the way back, and it was only a matter of minutes until everyday life ... and with it the house arrest ... had our three heroes back. Still, all in all, they were happy with the day. They had once again had their freedom, were in the class ... at least Trunks and Ice ... increased by a few degrees of popularity, and had really screwed the new teacher! What could be nicer? Trunks leaned back, relaxed, in his seat ... next to him Goten was just feeding his last food reserves and Ice was just turning around to the two of them ... "You know what? We have to tell Piccolo that! He's going to throw himself away Laugh! "Trunks
