Finding Hope

Chapter 78: Something Fun

Tsubaki's pov

I let out a yawn, sitting up in bed and heard light breathing coming from my left. When I looked down, a smile appeared on my face as I saw that it was Goten and to my right was Gohan. I had nearly forgotten that we spent the night together in Gohan's room, watching movies and playing board games with one another. We had fallen asleep late last night, which didn't make Mom too happy but it seemed that she was enjoying this as much as I was. I sat there for a while, just watching the two of my brother's sleeping. Back in my timeline, there is no Goten. He was never born because of Dad's premature death, it made me sad to think about. The only equivalent I have to any semblance of Goten is Oliver, whose not even related to me. Even when Trunks and I go back home, there's no Gohan either. But at least he existed in my time, he helped Mom raise me and his death was hard on all of us, especially Mom. But Goten.. He never got to be apart of my life until Trunks and I traveled here to save their time, so that they didn't end up like us. I watched Goten turn onto his side and curl into a ball in my side, he literally is the spitting image of Dad and I could only guess that maybe Goten's attitude was a lot like Dad's when he was little. Mom would tell me all kinds of stories about him, especially how Dad didn't really understand the human anatomy or how to differentiate girls and boys. My eyes then trailed over to Gohan, who was peacefully sleeping on his back. I smiled at him, just taking in the moment. This Gohan was so very different from my Timeline's Gohan, he wasn't rough around the edges or angry all the time. Instead, this Gohan liked peaceful talks and he was not much of a fighter as he used to be when he was younger. I looked over at the clock, smiling as I became excited what was in store for me today. I was going to be spending some quality time with Vegeta and Trunks, yeah, you heard me. I'm spending the day with Vegeta, he didn't agree to it at first until I promised him that I would train with him sometime soon which I really hope that I would get to do at some point in time. Not wanting to wake up both of my brothers, I quietly moved around threw my leg over Goten. I held myself using my arms as I got my foot on the floor, I continued inching myself over him as he slept and finally got my feet on the floor when the door was thrown open.

"It's time to get up, you three!! You've been sleeping for too long!" Mom shouted, startling me enough to make me fall onto the floor. Gohan shot upright in bed, looking over at Mom as he heard me hit the floor. Mom let out a sigh, shaking her head and walked away leaving the bedroom door open. Goten sat up slowly and rubbed his eyes, "Why are you on the floor, Tsu?" He asked, looking down at me with one eye open. "Yeah, why are you on the floor?" Gohan slid off the bed, he held out a hand and helped me to my feet. "It's nothing. Anyways, I gotta get ready to head out." I brushed my clothes off, heading for my closet. Mom always kept this closet full of clothes that I could wear, she started doing this because I usually didn't have many clothes packed when Trunks and I came to visit. "Oh yeah, you're hanging out with Future Trunks and Vegeta today." Gohan said, "Wait, you're spending the day with Vegeta and Trunks?" Goten asked, I looked over at him.

"Yeah, I am, Bud."

"But I thought that we could hang out today! I wanted to show you some cool new tricks I learned from training with Trunks." Goten furrowed his eyebrows, looking up at me with a pout.

"I'm sorry bud, I promised Trunks that today would be a bonding session with Vegeta. I'll tell you what, tomorrow, I promise to hang out with you and you can show me all the tricks that you learned. What do you say?" He gave me a big smile, throwing his body at me. "Okay!!" I hugged Goten tightly, before putting him down on his feet and said my goodbyes. I headed to the bathroom and got ready for my day with Vegeta and Trunks, which I was really excited for. After leaving the house, I headed over to Bulma's where I had a brief run in with Mrs. and Mr. Briefs. I never got the meet the two of them in my time as they had already passed away before Trunks and I were old enough to talk, these two were a crazy dynamic. But I always wondered how Mrs. Briefs fell for Mr. Briefs, he didn't really seem like a ladies man though he must have been handsome when they were younger.

"So this is where you've been hiding?" I turned my head to the left, smiling as I saw Vegeta and Trunks walking over to me.

Bulma came into the room behind Trunks, smiling as she saw me sitting with her parents. "Veggie!!" I threw my body at him, wrapping the full-blooded saiyan into a warm hug which only made him grumble under his breath. Bulma and Trunks just chuckled at my nickname for him, smiling as they saw Vegeta reluctantly wrap his arms around me. "How many times have I told you not to call me that?!" He scolded, pulling away from the hug. "But Vegeta," I whined, "No! Now let go of me." I pouted and let go of Vegeta, heading over to Trunks who kissed the top of my head as well hugged. "So where are you guys going?" Mrs. Briefs asked, "First, we're taking Vegeta to see a movie and then we'll be going to an amusement park." I smiled, Vegeta only huffed and rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Oh, you guys are in for a day of fun, aren't you?" Bulma chuckled.

"Oh, shut it woman." Vegeta snapped.

"Excuse me?!!" Bulma yelled, Vegeta jumped at the sudden rise in Bulma's voice.

"Nothing," Vegeta quickly answered, "Let's go or we'll be late for this stupid movie!" He turned around and walked out of the living room, leaving Trunks and I behind. "Have fun, you three." Mrs. Briefs smiled, "Will you two hurry it up?!!" Vegeta shouted, making Bulma chuckle. "We better get going, we don't Vegeta to explode out there. Bye Bulma, Bye Mr. And Mrs. Briefs." I grabbed Trunks' hand and the two of us left the house following after Vegeta, who grumbled under his breath when he saw the two of us. Something tells me that I will have a lot of fun today with the two of them.
