DARES

the sun burned brightly out in the turquise sky on the 4th of july. bulma was setting up outside for a big party.
vegeta: why the hell do we have to celebrate some stupid american holiday?! if you haven't noticed woman we don't live in america!! vegeta complained as he tagged along with bulma
bulma: i think it would be nice for a change to celebrate something  different! so bite me shorty! cause i'm not changing my mind!! she yelled waving a fork in the air.
vegeta: *sexual growl* don't mind if i do woman as he leaned in to nibble on her earlob.
bulma: vegeta! as she playfully smacked him. the sons will be here any minute and i don't feel like getting caught doing you know what on the grass!!
vegeta: vegeta scowled a bit but turned into a smirk. alright but you owe me.
bulma: *sighs* kisses him gently on the cheek and giggled at the pinkish red in his face. can you go get trunks and tell him to come down here? i just saw the sons pull up.
vegeta: fine woman. as he walked into the house. BOY!!!! GET DOWN HERE!!!! KAKORROTS FAMILY IS HERE!!!
trunks: coming dad!! as he ran flew down as fast as he could.
vegeta: behave yourself boy. or you know the punishment.
trunks: yes i know. go to the gravity room with you and train.
vegeta: good and don't you forget it! now go and help your mother as he ruffled his hair.
trunks ran outside and greeted chi-chi, gohan, and ofcourse he was most delighted to see his best friend, goten.
Chi-Chi: oh!! this is so exciting! we finally get to celebrate a forign holiday! * squeals with joy*
goten and trunks rolls their eyes. and slink away from the parade of adults.
trunks: hey goten, last night my dad told me that their are all sorts of dinosaurs and tigers and... other animals in the forest..... WANNA GO!!
goten:i don't know trunks.... wern't we suppose to stay near the house and not get in trouble?
trunks: *thinks for a second and goes into a flash back*~*~*vegeta: behave yourself boy. or you know the punishment.*~*~ no! so lets go... or are you scared?!
goten: NO!
trunks: prove it! said trunks cockily
goten: if your so fearless then why don't you go by yourself!?! and stay there the whole night! or are you chicken?!  goten screamed while clucking and scratching the ground
trunks: *gulps* f-fine t-then
goten: good. meet me back at my house tomorrow morning and we'll see whose chicken and if you make it without getting eaten, i'll give you one of my toys. seeya  as he strutted off back to the party.

CH 2

the night was old and everyone was still having a blast.
bulma: oh my! its 2:00 in the morning! i didn't even notice! bulma replied looking at her diamond laced watch.
chi-chi: *yawned* i did. i think we should head home now. thanks for the fantastic party! hey i got a great idea! to repay you for the party you could come over and spend the night. kindof like a girls night out thing.  as she shoved goten and gohan into the car.

bulma: thats a great idea! vegeta do you think you can put trunks to bed if he isn't already asleep?
vegeta: woman, i'm the prince of the sayians not a damn babysitter growled vegeta underneath his breath
bulma: well i'm sure you won't mind doing it just for one night now will you?! giving vegeta a stern look.
vegeta: fine....
bulma: oh thank you! i knew you would agree!!! and she kissed him on the cheek. bye bye veggie!!! don't get spooked out cause your by yourself!!  tehe.

vegeta:pht! woman your scared of your own shadow.as soon as he shut the door he heard the tires screech and soon the car become smaller then a star in the sky.so he decided to procede  to do what he said. he stomped up the stairs and whipped open his door to trunks bedroom.hmm no brat. maybe hes in the bathroom. he slammed open that door as well. not a brat in sight.... where could he be..

trunks: g-g-god its c-c-cold. i wish i could o-of brought a jacket a-atleast. his thoughts were interuptted by his protesting stomach. man.. i have to find something to eat before i chew my arm off! i'm starving! trunks whipped his head to his side as he heard the speak of a baby dinosaur. trunks peered to look throught a bush. ah! hes alone! i can't pass this up. trunks jumped and charged at the small orange spiky creature. but his wish was put aside as in a flash of light a giant tail came and whipped trunks in the face causing the young 7 year old fly into a tree. blood trickled down his forehead and trunks stared up in horrier as the protective mother came closer to him. his once horrified face turned into a tipical smirk as trunks jumped up in a fighting stance and powered up into super sayian mode.he charged again but this time at the mother dinosaur. he punched her dead on the face. it had no affect. trunks, once again was smashed into the ground by the ruthless dinosaur. he jumped to his feel and staggered back a little and stared up, mouth hung open, not knowing what do. he snapped his fingers and put his palms together. final flash!!!!! a blinding light appeared. it didn't even make a scratch. trunks was whipped back into a tree by a clawed reptilian paw. he wiped away  blood stains from his mouth and more pain erupted from his body as it was being crushed underneath the monsters weight. he tried to scream but nothing came out. the only difference was in his power level.

vegeta: vegeta whipped his head towards the capsule corp window, eyes wide. I TOLD THAT GODDAMN BOY TO BEHAVE HIMSELF!! as a raging vegeta broke through the capsule corp window flying twords the woods. cold air whipped vegeta him in the face as he flew faster and faster towards the spot trunks was at. soon he spotted a small dot being mercifully beaten. he kicked the dinosaur in the head and watched as it fell to the ground. he looked at his son and let his jaw drop. he wouldn't of known it was his son unless had senced his energy at first. he was positive it was him. he approached him quietly. his shirt had been long torn off from the dinosaur. there were numerous deep cuts and bruises all over him. his whole chest was practically covered in blood. his own blood. he was just glad that bulma wasn't here to see this or she would be in a screaming fit right this second. t-trunks? he kneeled down and picked him up so he was cradling him. he put his index and middle finger to his neck. good hes still breathing mummered the prince. it was obvious that he was choking on his own blood to the older saiyan. he turned him over and held him up while as gently as he could pat his back to try to get him to cough it up. it worked. within a few seconds trunks was throwing up blood onto the cold ground of the night. after it was apparent he was able to breathe again he stroked his back a little to calm him down and flipped trunks over to look at him. his eyes showed his tiredness. trunks, what happened?  
trunks: i was hungry
vegeta: vegeta chuckled a bit and started to fly home with trunks relaxed in his arms.
vegeta kicked open the door with a sleeping figure in his arms. he sat trunks down on his knee and shook him a little. trunks, trunks wake up were home. i have to get you cleaned up a bit so your mother won't see the blood stains in your bed.
trunks: trunks snapped open his eyes and looked at his father. please, don't tell mom dad, please... trunks eyes started to get watery as he then just realized how much trouble he was going to be in. tears slowly started to stream down the blood stricken face, actually starting to clean it. vegeta looked at him and said nothing. he leaned over to the sink and grabbed a wash cloth and wet it. trunks sighed in relief, closed his eyes and welcomed the warm water sliding down his face. why shouldn't i? replied vegeta as he rubbed the cloth on trunks face. dad, i couldn't let goten know that i was afraid to go in the woods and there was no way that i would back out of the dare after i made it.
it was a dare? vegeta stopped washing his face and looked at him
yea, it was. i know, i know it was stupid but... i don't know.. the thought of going off into the woods sounded kind of cool. i wanted to go and hunt animals. that sounds too weird though.
no, infact its saiyan instinct to want to be the top predator vegeta smiled and closed his eyes in satisfaction as he knew now the boy wasn't as much of a human as he looked. Trunks winced a bit as vegeta moved to his chest and the warm water cleaned out one of his cuts. soon after trunks changed into his pajamas and climbed into bed. vegeta moved over and covered him with a dark blue sheet specially made for the steamy, hot days of summer.  before vegeta turned out the light vegeta whispered into trunks ear don't worry i won't tell your mother and tomorrow morning meet goten at kakorotts house and get your toy. trunks looked up at vegeta and wrapped his arms around vegetas muscular neck. vegeta unraveled him and restored him back in his bed, leaned over and turned out the light. trunks fell asleep right away and knew that his dad, vegeta was there to watch over him. before vegeta left, standing at his doorway he silently whispered to himself you have made me proud, my son, a prince of vegeta-sei and of the saiyan people, a true warrior race.
