Trunks' Looking Glass Time: In the afternoon Activity: Christmas Shopping Trunks: So, this is a mall... Interesting... Trunks walks through the door with the rest of the Z-gang. Gokou: Chi Chi, I'm starving! Let's go to the food court! Trunks: Not surprizing, I'm amazed he lasted this long without complaining. He may be the earth's biggest hero, but sometimes I wonder... Chi Chi: No, Gokou. We're here for Christmas shopping, not food. Gokou: But I'm hungry! Trunks turns away from the soon-to-be argument and focuses on getting the right gifts so he can leave as soon as possible. He finds that being around so many people is uncomfortable. Looking around, Trunks marvels at the amount of stores crammed into the one building. Trunks: There're not many of these... malls... in my time thanks to the andriods. How am I going to find any presents in here with so many places to look? Which one is the right one? I don't even have the slightest clue where to start! Separating himself from the rest of the Z-gang, Trunks wanders into a clothing store. Upon walking inside, he is greeted by hundreds of rows with clothing of every size, color, and ... unusual... shape. Trunks: Uh.....help? After looking at the misc. items of clothing in one isle in search of something for his mother, Bulma, Trunks realizes how hard this task was going to be. Trunks: This is insane! I don't even know her size is in this timeline, and not to mention my own! And what about my father? What would he want anyway, spandex? ^_^' While Trunks debated over his choices, a girl on the other side of the isle was taking notice of the handsome teenager across from her. (whispering to her friend) Girl: Hey, look at that guy with the purple hair over there! (turning to look at Trunks) Girl #2: Wow! He's cute! Girl #1: I wonder if he has a girlfriend... Girl #2: I don't know... Never seen 'im around here before... Meanwhile... Trunks: Hmmm... What about this shirt? Does she like pink? No, I think that's dad's favorite color (BADMAN). Then what about this blue one? No, maybe... Trunks is so caught up in his thoughts, he doesn't notice the girls coming from behind to get a closer look at this new boy they've found. Trunks: So it's between the blue one, and- Girl #1: (in a peppy, sqeaky voice) Hi there! Trunks whips around, dropping the articles of clothing he was looking at. Trunks: I...um... (trying to sound cheery, his voice cracking) hi. (giggling and peering down at what he had been looking at as Trunks picked it up) Girl #2: Do you have a girl friend? Trunks: Well, you see (voice cracks)um... no. The next thing you know, the two girls are fighting over who would get Trunks. Girl #1:(screeching) ME! I saw him first! Girl #2: (taking Trunks' arm) No! He's MINE! Trunks: Ahhh! What do I do! Mom!? Trunks ran for all he was worth out of the clothing store and into the adjacent toystore. Finding an isle with no one in it, he decides to hide there for a while. Trunks: Th-that's never happened to me before! What's wrong with those girls anyway? I thought they were going to tear me apart! Meanwhile, another group of girls began checking Trunks out not too far away. Now alert for that type of erratic behavior, Trunks notices, and walks briskly out of the store. To his dismay the girls follow him for some time at a distance throughout the crowded mall, trying to act inconspicuous (rather ridiculously) Trunks finds a big man to hide behind, and ducks into the nearest store. Trunks: What is going on here?! Trunks notices what kind of store he's in. Trunks: Gah! N-no! It c-c-c-can't be!! Oh yes it is, Trunks! You've managed to land yourself in a store full of the most horrible things to ever walk the earth... Trunks: Oh... Kami... What is earth coming to?! Trunks: AAAAAHHHHH! In a flash, Trunks disapeares from the Pokemon store. Unfortunately for him, the girls that were following him earlier have told all their friends in the mall that a hunk who was single, with long purple hair and a muscular body was walking around somewhere inside the mall... They spread out and begin the search. Meanwhile... Trunks is inside yet another clothing store, still searching for some kind of gift for his parents. Finding nothing of interest, Trunks leaves the store, only to be confronted with- Trunks: Oh sh*t! Not again! -the mob of girls looking for him. Trunks:AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Misc girls in the mob: He's mine! Oh is he handsome!! I get him first! No, ME!! HE'S SO CUTE!! r Once again running for all he was worth, Trunks zipped down the crowded mall with his pursuit right behind him.. Trunks: What the dragonballs is wrong with these people?! Nothing seemed to work to shake off Trunks' determined pursuit behind him. Poor Mirai Trunks was about to give up... Trunks: Maybe I should stop and ask them what they want... Someone's going to- hey! Isn't that Gokou-san up ahead? Trunks' eyes haven't deceived him, for Son Gokou is walking out of a candy store only a few meters ahead of Trunks' and his pursuers Trunks: Gokou-san! Gokou-san, RUN!! Gokou, who -let's face it- isn't the brightest crayon in the box turned toward the source of the sound and grinned his famous grin at Trunks. Gokou: (oblivously) Trunks! What's going on? Trunks: That's Gokou-san for you... Hero of the world, and village idiot all rolled into one! Trunks: Are you BLIND?! I'm being chased! RUN! The boy-hungry cheerleaders catch sight of Gokou as well, and begin to chase after both Gokou and Trunks. Gokou didn't need to be told again, he turns on a dime and runs down the main hall of the crowded mall. Trunks: And Gokou-san's a married man! What is wrong with the earthlings in this time!? Gokou: Trunks! What's going on? Trunks: I don't know! Is was just minding my own- hey! isn't that Piccolo-san up ahead? Maybe he can help us! Sure enough, Piccolo was right ahead, walking out of the local Water Store with one jug being carried on his shoulder. Trunks: I didn't know there was such thing as a 'Water Store' in this timeline... Must be the local namekian hangout. Trunks: Piccolo-san! RUN!! Piccolo, who's a whole lot smarter than Gokou, didn't waste anytime. Soon, he was running away from the mob of girls that were now chasing Trunks, Gokou, and a myterious tall green man (who they decided wasn't too bad looking either ^__^'). Trunks: Looks like those girls go for tall green men as well... Piccolo (to Gokou): Son! What's going on here? Gokou: I dunno! I think we're playing that chinese fire drill game, this is the third time we've circled the mall! It's kind of fun! Piccolo (shakes his head and turns to Trunks): What's going on? Trunks: I'm not sure! I was- hey! Isn't that Vegeta up there?! Trunks' eyes were correct once again, for Vegeta is walking out of Spandex 'R Us store just ahead with several large bags...^__^' Trunks: Ahh! So getting Dad some spandex was the right idea after all! Must be a saiyan thing. Gokou (still totally oblivious to what was really going on): Hey Vegeta!! What's Up? Trunks: Vegeta!! Father, RUN!! Vegeta looked toward the sound of his son's voice, and saw the now massive mob of girls chasing Trunks, Gokou, and Piccolo. Vegeta: What in HFIL (^_^')?! Without slowing, the girls continue chasing Trunks, Gokou, Piccolo, and now the spandex-clad Vegeta. Trunks: Dang! I thought that Dad would have scared those girls away! I guess they like short men in spandex... Vegeta: What in HELL is going on here?! Trunks: I have no idea! I was- hey! Isn't that Kuririn up there? Once again, Trunks's eyes hadn't deceived him. Kuririn was only just ahead, walking out of the Shoe and Shoe Polish Store with an unusually shiny head... Trunks: Kuririn-san! Kuririn-san RUN!! But it was too late, the Z-senshi ran past Kuririn, while the girl mob completely bowled him over and crushed him. The mob continues their pursuit and the Z-senshi are forced to leave their comrade. Trunks: Poor Kuririn-san! He never even had a chance! Kuririn: ...ouch... The chase continues, and by the 27th time the Z-senshi had circled the mall inside and out, they were desperate for a solution. They had caused such a rucus in the parking lot that traffic was backed up for miles with all the piled-up cars who had swerved to avoid them. They had pretty much given up hope when they happened upon a Santa Claus scene... Without a word the Z-senshi tackled Santa and his helpers (and the poor kid that was sitting on Santa's lap at the time). Voices from inside the dust cloud were heard by the kids standing in line: Vegeta: Take this, you red-clad fat butt! BIG BANG ATTACK! Trunks: Hey! Someone just stepped on my foot! Piccolo: Ow! Son! Those are my attennae, not candy canes! Gokou: Those aren't candy canes? What are these then? Trunks: Ahh! My hair!! When the dust clears, a new scene has appeared: Veggie-Claus sitting on his throne with an unusually large kid with purple hair and a overly large hat covering his face perched on his lap, and his helpful elves: one a green color and the size of Chewbacca was escorting a little kid to see "Santa", but was so tall that the kid was dangling from his hand -- the other helper was quite tall himself, had black spiky hair sticking out of the sides of his cap, and was eating the large plastic candy canes on display. Trunks: Oh the humanity! A few seconds later, the mob of girls rush by, thinking that the Z-senshi had continued down the mall. They all breathed a sigh of relief until they realized that there were kids standing in line. A litte later...Or about fifteen kids later... Vegeta: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, A MR. SATAN ACTION FIGURE?! Trunks: Oh no... The kid on his lap had pretty much sh*tted himself. Kid: Wuh-wuh-well h-he's the s-st-strongest p-p-person in the world... and I-I wuh- Vegeta: The strongest?! Ha HAH! Don't make me laugh weakling! Get out of my sight! *Vegeta tosses the kid to the side, where Trunks barely manages to catch the poor kid before he almost collides into the large Christmas tree* Trunks: The baka! We have to lie low since those girls are still running around! And where did my dad get his kid skills anyway?! It's okay if he's ignorant me some of the time, I'm his son! But to do the same to those little kids?! The mob of girls rushes by again, for about the tenth time. Trunks: They don't give up, do they!? Gah! Dad threw another kid again! Trunks catches the kid and sets him down onto the ground, but as he was kneeling down to ask the kid if he was alright, his hat concealing his face fell off. At the same time, the girls rush by again. At first it seemed as if Trunks had gone unnoticed, but the girls go into rewind and come back... Trunks: Oh shi- Girls: THERE YOU ARE!!! Trunks: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! The chase continues once again. Trunks: This is all Dad's fault! If he hadn't been throwing those kids- Vegeta: Great job, kid! Why did you take of the hat?! Trunks: What about you?! Throwing those kids everywhere! What kind of Father are you?! Vegeta: WHAT DID YOU SAY?! Piccolo: Break it up, you two! We need to think of a way to get out of this, not fight! Gokou: Yeah! And those candy canes tasted kinda odd... Trunks rolls his eyes. Trunks: Piccolo's right. There's got to be a way out of this mess... AHH! This is insane! These girls have chased us everywhere! Don't they get tired?! This- hey! Isn't that Yamucha ahead?! Trunks: Yamucha-san! RUN!! Sure enough, Yamucha was coming out of the Disney Store (?) just ahead. Recognizing the source of the voice, Yamucha turns around just as the Z-senshi rush past him. Seeing the girls, Yamucha beams and prepares a pickup line- Yamucha: Hi- -but the girls continue on past him, not even pausing to glance. Oh well! Trunks: Oh Kami! Will this never end?! Just then, Chi Chi and Gohan walked out of a science store on the second floor. Hearing the commotion from downstairs, Chi Chi leans over the rail to see what it was about. What she saw made her angry... Chi Chi: How DARE they chase my husband!!! In a flash, Chi Chi produces a bazooka out of nowhere and blasts the girls away. When the smoke clears, there is nothing left that resembles a mall. In the middle of the rubble heap stands the bewildered Z-senshi... Trunks: Oh Kami! I better not get on Chi Chi's bad side! But I wonder why those girls were chasing me anyway... --guess Trunks hasn't looked in a mirror recently. And so ends an exciting day to Mirai Trunks' mind!  |
