Chapter 38: A Bigger Threat Emerges

A/N: As you were comforting Goka, you soon sensed the Presence of a threat more dangerous than even that of the Androids.

Android 17 was inside the van waiting for her sister, who was inside a clothing store, trying out clothing. 18 was currently in a western-styled outfit while looking at a mirror.

Android 18: this is... the best... you've got?

Store Owner: that is our top-of-the-line! How do you like it?

Android 18: "Like" is a strong word. So is "tolerate". "Hate's" actually lookin' a little weak right now.

Store Owner: oh, but darlin', you look like the most beautiful rose in a rose garden! I'm sure if I came home with you, my daddy might even love me again!

Android 18: and that is my cue to leave. Later, cowboy. 

She began to walk out of the store.

Store Owner: uh, sweetheart, you gotta pay for those... 

He stuttered as Android 18 left the store.

Store Owner: cash or credit! 

He ran up to the van as Android 18 got inside.

Store Owner: the register's on the inside! You are getting into your car! You are drivin' away! 

The Androids started to drive away.

Store Owner: and I have been robbed... You blonde bimbo, you get back here this instant!

The van stopped and then began to reverse back in the store keeper's direction.

Store Owner: oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

He said while running back inside.

Trunks and Gohan were flying towards the mystery time machine.

Trunks: all right, we should be getting close to the site.

Gohan: um, Mr. Trunks?

Trunks: what's up?

Gohan: If you don't mind me asking... you know me in the future, right?

Trunks: yeah. Actually, you were my mentor.

Gohan: oh, wow! What is adult me like?

Trunks: well, I suppose you take a lot after your mother...

Gohan wasn't really happy about that comment. 

Gohan: in what regard?

Trunks: you're the strongest, bravest warrior on the planet.

Gohan was relieved.

Gohan: okay, good. By the way, why do you keep staring at my arm?

Trunks: oh, uh... Hey, what's that? 

He noticed a mossed up time machine.

Gohan: oh!

They landed near the mysterious time machine.

Trunks: well, this definitely looks my time machine... but it also looks like it's been here for ages.

Gohan: ooh, a mystery! I never get to solve mysteries! Like Sherlock Holmes or Batman! Usually we're just busy fighting people. Like Bruce Lee... or Batman.

Bulma showed up in a plane.

Bulma: hey!

Gohan: oh, look, Bulma's here!

Trunks: oh, good...

Bulma landed her plane near both of them and got out.

Bulma: so, is that your time machine?
