Chapter 5 - A Morning Encounter

Scene: Capsule Corp Garden - Morning

Goten and Trunks are walking through the lush garden of Capsule Corp, discussing their secret plans. Suddenly, they hear a familiar voice.

Vegeta: [crossing his arms] Trunks. What are you two brats doing this early in the morning?

Goten nervously salutes Vegeta.

Goten: Good morning, Vegeta, sir! I just came to hang out with Trunks.

Trunks: [quickly] Yeah, Dad. We were just about to play some video games in my room.

Vegeta: [raising an eyebrow] Video games? [snorts] You two waste your time on such nonsense when you could be training? Look at you—weak and unprepared. You should be in the gravity chamber, not sitting on a couch pressing buttons like fools!

Trunks sighs and scratches the back of his head.

Trunks: Dad, it's just for fun. We'll train later, I promise.

Vegeta: [stepping closer] Later? You're turning into a lazy Earthling! If you keep this up, you'll be left behind. Come with me to the gravity chamber right now!

Before Vegeta can drag them away, Bulma walks into the garden, holding a shopping list.

Bulma: [calling out] Trunks! Goten! Good to see you boys.

She turns her attention to Vegeta with a knowing smirk.

Bulma: Vegeta, I need you to come with me. We're going shopping for the party, and you're carrying the bags.

Vegeta: [grumbling] What?! I'm not some pack mule! Send someone else!

Bulma: [sternly] Oh no, mister. You're coming with me. Don't make me use the remote for your training chamber again.

Vegeta: [growling] Fine. But this better not take all day.

Bulma waves at Goten and Trunks as she drags Vegeta toward the house.

Bulma: Have fun, boys. And Vegeta, try to look like you're enjoying yourself.

Vegeta: [muttering] Hmph. Stupid shopping trips...

As Bulma and Vegeta disappear into the house, Goten and Trunks exchange relieved looks.

Scene: Trunks' Room - Morning

Trunks and Goten enter Trunks' room and close the door behind them. The room is filled with futuristic gadgets and posters of action heroes.

Goten: [sitting on the bed] Phew, that was close! Your dad is intense, Trunks.

Trunks: [rolling his eyes] Tell me about it. Anyway, let's focus on what I wanted to tell you.

Trunks sits at his desk and leans in close, lowering his voice.

Trunks: So, yesterday I overheard Supreme Kai talking about something really strange. He mentioned a mysterious sword and another dimension. Apparently, it's connected to what happened during the fight with Majin Buu.

Goten: [wide-eyed] A sword? And another dimension? That sounds so cool!

Trunks: Yeah, but it's not just cool. Supreme Kai said it could be dangerous. Something about screams and roars opening dimensions, and if the wrong one opens, it could destroy everything.

Goten: [excitedly] Woah! So, what are we gonna do?

Trunks: [grinning] We're going to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber tomorrow. If anyone asks, we'll just say we're going there for some training. They'll let us in for sure.

Goten: [nodding] Got it! This is going to be so awesome!

Trunks: Just remember—don't tell anyone about this. Not even your dad or mine.

Goten: [smirking] Don't worry, Trunks. My lips are sealed.

The two share a fist bump, their excitement building as they finalize their secret plan.

Scene: Outside Capsule Corp - Morning

Goten prepares to fly back home, waving at Trunks before taking off into the sky.

Trunks: [calling out] Don't forget—early tomorrow morning!

Goten: [grinning] I'll be there!

As Goten disappears into the distance, Trunks looks up at the sky, a mix of excitement and determination in his eyes.
