Chapter 7 - The Day of the Party and a Secret Mission

Scene: Goku's House - Early Morning

The sun is barely rising, and the house is quiet—until the sound of drawers opening and closing and footsteps moving around wakes Goku. He sits up in bed, rubbing his eyes.

Goku: [yawning] What's all this noise so early in the morning?

Goku steps out of his room and sees Goten tying his shoes, ready to leave.

Goku: Hey, Goten! Where are you going this early?

Goten: [startled] Uh, Dad! I didn't mean to wake you. I'm just heading out for some training with Trunks.

Goku: [grinning] Training? You? Wow, look at you being all responsible! [teasing] Just don't forget about the party at Bulma's later, okay? You know your mom will destroy you if you miss it.

Goten: [laughing nervously] Of course, Dad! I'll be back in time, I promise.

Goku: [giving him a thumbs up] Alright then, have fun! But don't slack off—it's called training for a reason!

Goten: [smiling] Got it! Bye, Dad!

Goten powers up and flies out of the house, leaving Goku smiling and shaking his head.

Scene: Flying Through the Sky - Morning

Goten is flying through the clouds, the morning air rushing past him. He pulls out his phone and calls Trunks.

Goten: Hey, Trunks! I'm on my way.

Trunks: [on the phone] Good! I'm ready. Let's meet halfway and head to the chamber together.

Goten: Got it!

A few moments later, Goten spots Trunks in the distance. The two wave at each other and fly side by side.

Goten: [excitedly] This is going to be awesome!

Trunks: [grinning] Yeah. Just remember—if anyone asks, we're doing this because our dads think we're getting weak.

Goten: [laughing] That's not far from the truth!

The two friends laugh as they continue flying toward the Lookout.

Scene: Kami's Lookout - Morning

The majestic floating structure comes into view as Goten and Trunks approach. They land gracefully at the entrance and are greeted by Dende, who is watering some plants nearby.

Dende: [surprised] Goten? Trunks? What a surprise to see you two here so early in the morning.

Trunks: [grinning] Hey, Dende! Yeah, we're here for a little training session. My dad thinks we're getting weak, so we figured we'd use the Time Chamber to get stronger.

Dende: [nodding] I see. Well, that's a good idea. The Time Chamber is always ready for you.

Goten: Thanks, Dende!

Mr. Popo appears silently, as he always does, and nods at the boys.

Mr. Popo: Follow me.

Mr. Popo leads them across the Lookout to the entrance of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. The large white doors loom in front of them, glowing faintly with energy. Mr. Popo opens the doors with ease.

Mr. Popo: Remember, time moves differently in there. Make good use of it.

Trunks: [smirking] Don't worry, we will.

Goten: [grinning] Yeah, thanks, Mr. Popo!

The two step into the chamber as the doors close behind them with a heavy thud. They look around at the endless white void, their excitement building.

Scene: Inside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber - Morning

Goten and Trunks drop their bags and stretch, looking at the vast emptiness surrounding them.

Goten: [amazed] I forgot how huge this place feels.

Trunks: [smirking] Yeah, but it's perfect for what we're about to do.

Goten: [excitedly] Alright! Let's figure out this sword and other dimension stuff!

Trunks: [nodding] First things first—we've got a lot of work to do.

The two friends fist bump, ready to start their secret adventure.
