Chapter Two: Making friends

You wonder through the city, eating a tub of something from earth apparently known as 'ice-cream' as you take in the sights - those being brightly coloured buildings, palm trees and a small army of little round robots... you didn't trust the robots.

You pass by an ugly golden statue, to which you had to do a double take, in your distraction you failed to notice the big pink figure stood in front of you.

"Aghh!" You collide with the huge person, landing on your backside, barely managing to save the precious ice-cream. You quickly turn your head left and right, looking around hoping no one saw that embarrassing scene.

"Huh?" The pink figure turns around, staring down at you. "You ok?" He questions in a child-like voice. His eyes suddenly land on your icy dessert. "You have ice-cream, you share with Buu?" A smile forms on his pudgy face as he rubs his hands togeather.

Now back on your feet you quickly hold the large tub away from this 'Buu'. "What the heck are you pinkie?" You question, generally confused.

His brows furl and he pouts. "Buu is Buu. Now you gonna share?"

Your eyes drift back to the dessert, then back to Buu twice before you sigh and hold out the remains of your ice-cream.

The strange creature happily takes your offering, smiling as he devours it at an impressive pace.

"...You're welcome." You say watching him skeptically. "I'm (y/n)." He ignores you and continues eating. "Sooo... Uh Buu? What do ya do around here?" 

Just like that the ice-cream was gone, tub included - you think he might have eaten that too. "Uh, don't know. One day Buu was playing, then Buu was here. Buu confused - but the food here is good!" He scratches his head, looking upwards.

You also scratch your head upon hearing his awnser. "Oh, yeah I know that feeling. Anyway, I gotta go meet someone- uh, nice talking to ya pinkie."

"Buu." He says frowning again.

"Sorry- Buu." You correct, figuring it best not to anger the odd pink creature with your habit of assigning bad nicknames to almost everyone you meet, before walking away, briefly waving back at him.

"Bye." He calls after you, waving back with more enthusiasm. "(y/n) bring Buu more dessert next time!"

"Oh, you're here." Says Trunks, pushing himself away from the wall he had been leaning against. "Did you have a look around?"

"Yeah... it was interesting..." You respond, rubbing the back of your neck.

"I hope you mean good interesting." He says with a unsure chuckle. "Anyway, on to why I asked you here." He holds out a scouter for you to take.

"Uh... Dose it come in (f/c)?" You ask looking down at the rather outdated scouter in your hands.

"Um... Sorry." He answers negatively, one brow raised, apparently a little surprised by your question.

"Oh well." You proceed to place it over your left eye with a shrug.

"Please, come this way." He gestures towards a strange pink ship of some kind. "So as you know..." What followed was another talk about time patrol duties and minor changes in certain timelines requiring fixing. Or something. You stopped paying attention before he finished yet again. "Any questions before we leave?"

"Why is it pink?"

"Huh..?"

"The time machine - wouldn't something a little more subtle be better?" You say waving you arm at the object in question.

"I-it's-" He puts a hand in his purple hair, rubbing his head, as though he was developing a migraine. "Look it's not important- let's just get going."

You shrug once more before following.

(A little later - or many years earlier, depending on how you look at it...)

"What are you doing?" Asks your increasingly tried companion as you hover before the big floating circle, one hand on your chin, inspecting it closely whilst squinting your right eye.

"So it's another portal?" You reach out a hand, fingers passing through the blurred image.

"Yes, this will take you to your next objective-" He begins, his voice hinting he would like you to hurry up.

"And you just leave em laying around?" You ask, turning to face him and pointing a thumb back at the portal. "What if someone, like,  flys a plane through one."

"It's ok, we're the only ones that can see them." He answers before placing a palm over his closed eyes. "And, uh... I don't think a plane would fit through that (y/n)."

"Well- maybe it's a really small plane!" You respond, glowering a little and crossing your arms, not wanting to admit how ridiculous your question had been and instead opting for an even more ridiculous argument. "But anyway! We should be going right?" With that you hastily fly through the middle of the circular portal - Trunks pursuing shortly after.

The rest of your trip passed by with few noteworthy events as your companion showed you the ropes.

~~~

"I'll see you back here tomorrow and we can work out what's going on." Trunks said with a tired smile shortly after you returned to TokiToki. "There's someone I need to introduce you to... but for now- I need to take a break."

"Yeahhh, about that." You say before he can wonder off. "Where am I supposed to crash?"

"Oh! Right, I'm sorry." Trunks responds, scratching his head. "Uh...I guess..." He pauses, looking a little conflicted. "...You're going to have to stay with me tonight."

"Really?" You ask skeptically, having no desire to share sleeping accommodations with anyone. "Well as long as you don't expect me to sleep on your couch or something."

"Hey, it's a nice couch." He replies with a nervous laugh that's met with silence on your part. "...I'm sleeping on the couch I guess..."

(A/N: Sorry this is so slow getting started, in the next chapter I'm going to skim through the saiyan saga - then it's onto the Ginyu and Frieza sagas, which I intend to combine into one. After that things can start deviating more. :3)
