It's been two weeks since Trunks left for the past. Two weeks. He should've been back by now. Bulma begins to get nervous. Gohan over there spends most of his time meditating. It's driving Bulma up the wall. She figured that being unconscious for years would make somebody want to be more active.

Bulma sits beside Gohan, who is currently meditating

"Do you think Trunks is okay?"

Gohan keeps his eyes shut, still trying to meditate

"Yes, Bulma. Trunks is completely fine"

Bulma looks at Gohan with confusion

"How do you know that?"

Gohan still keeps his eyes shut, still trying to meditate

"I don't. I have faith"

Bulma leans on Gohan's shoulder

"Do you think there's some way we could check on him?"

Gohan shakes off Bulma's head

"No."

Bulma punches Gohan in the stub

"Why aren't you more nervous?!?!"

Gohan opens his eyes and winces in pain

"Because Trunks is still stronger than I am you dick!"

Suddenly, Bulma and Gohan hear the alarm that Trunks is back. They both run over to the time machine to see how Trunks is doing. Hopefully he hasn't lost an arm. Gohan would be really bummed if Trunks had lost an arm.

When they got to the room holding the time machine, Trunks flew out to be hugged by Bulma. Trunks looked mildly annoyed. Gohan had a pretty decent guess why

"Hey mom! Ever meet dad?"

Bulma let out a sigh as Gohan is cackling in the background

"Okay, look, love is complicated."

Trunks looks over at Gohan

"And Gohan, when were you going to tell me you were a major nerd!"

Gohan puts his hand on his hip

"Sue me, I'm allowed to have my own childhood"

The three hugged each other. They were together again. At that moment, everything was okay again. These three felt like they could take on the world. All three of them finally had hope again. But Trunks still had one more question

"But seriously, mom, what did you see in him?!?!"

"A short, powerful person, desperate for attention! As a female scientist in her early 30's I could identify with that!"

Gohan gathers them in for a huddle

"Okay, Trunks. I want to see how strong you've gotten. So how about we go and finally kill those Androids?"

Trunks steps back

"Gohan, I'll take them on. I've gotten exponentially stronger"
