Who knew babysitting was so infuriating...

Who: Vegeta, Bulla, and Trunks
What: He wakes up to find his kids have now been returned to their child selves.
When: The morning of September 21st.
Where: House 29
Summary: One princely parent has his patience tried with a five year old and an eight year old. Both of which will terrorize him until this experiment ends.
Rating: L for LOL.

Thankfully for Vegeta, he wakes up feeling exactly the same as always, grouchy but mentally preparing for another day of rigorous training. He debates going to get Trunks to come with him for the day, but he wants his own alone time first to wake up. Rolling out of bed, he starts to head to the bathroom to do those morning essentials before heading into the kitchen to make himself some breakfast. Can't train on an empty stomach, you know.

He's got his back turned to the doorway, concentrating on making pancakes without burning them like he has so many times in the past. Bulma's not around to do the cooking anymore, so he's had to do a little learning himself for a change- maybe he'll give a shot at eggs today too, even though that's usually a disaster upon itself.

Trunks woke up from his bed looking around to not only see he's in clothes that don't fit him anymore, but he's also in a different house and he has wings now! He darts out of bed and Vegeta will hear the screams of an eight year old having a panic attack in the hallway.

"Ahhh! Where am I?! Dad?! Mom?! Why are there wings on my back?! What's going on?!"

Bulla's equally freaked out. This isn't her bedroom. None of the clothes fit. They're for a much bigger girl, but not a grown up woman like her mother or even like Videl. What's more - there are wings on her back. She cautiously pulls on a t-shirt which now fits her like a dress, and peers down the hallway when she hears a child's voice.

Even more alarming is the fact that the boy panicking looks just like her brother did when he was younger. But Trunks is a teenager, not a boy just a little older than her! How can this be?

"Mommy! Daddy! Trunks!" she calls out.

"Would you two just shut-"

Oh. My. Goodness.

Those are the familiar voices of his children, but not as he knows them now. He turns around, running out to the living room and looking around for the two of them. Those were the cries of his children when they were small. What is going on? He peers down the hallway and sees the two of them.

"T-Trunks? Bulla?! What in the cosmos happened to you two!?"

Trunks turns to the voice of his father, but...what happened to him. This isn't the father Trunks knew. He was a lot shorter and his hair was taller.

"Dad? Is that you? Why do you look so old? And what happened to your hair? You also got a lot taller."

Sure enough, Trunks wasn't impressed by his father's new looks.

Bulla's reassured to hear her father and goes to run to him. He just called the boy there Trunks, and now that Trunks mentions it...he does look older. There's only one logical explanation for all of this.

"Someone must have kidnapped us and thrown us in time machines! Daddy, you need to find out who did it and punch them in the face!"

Okay, despite the fact that his son and daughter have suddenly become the age to drive him completely crazy, he's going to make sure that they know he is still their father and he is not putting up with their shit.

"Well Trunks, why don't you learn to keep that mouth of yours shut before I decide that you won't see Goten for a month and give you a good spanking to boot?" Oh, he knows how to play this game. He hasn't soon forgotten. He scoops Bulla up as she runs over to him.

"Don't worry squirt, I'll take care of whoever did this." He'll just let her believe what she wants. Logic is telling him the Malnosso were behind this anyhow.

Trunks suddenly backs off since he is still afraid of his dad at this age but then turns to look at Bulla. She was calling Vegeta daddy, but he's never seen her before. Who was this girl and who did she look like a younger version of his mom? So he'll focus on that and avoid his dad's wrath.

"So um dad, who is this little girl? And why does she look like mom? Is she my cousin or something?"

Bulla feels better up in her father's arms. Her father, after all, is the strongest ever, and anyone who messes with their family is in big trouble.

"You're my big brother, Trunks...except you're supposed to be older and even taller than daddy. That's why I think we got time-kidnapped!"

He's not so sure how to address this with a five and eight year old. Trunks will probably get it but Bulla probably won't. Well then.

"What she says is true. This is your sister, Bulla. Let me put it this way- this place we're in now disregards any sort of logic when it comes to time, so you won't know because she simply hasn't been born yet from when you remember." He sighs, this is going to be so much more hassle than he expected.

His sister? He's going to have a little sister in a couple years? But he wanted a baby brother, not a sister!

"My...sister." He says out-loud and the expression on his face is one of both awe and horror. Also what his father said is slowly starting to sink in along with Bulla being right about them being kidnapped from different time. He's just going to sit on the floor now and not be sure what to really make of it.

"See? Time kidnapped! Is mommy here? Daddy can punch whoever did this in the face and then mommy can build a time machine to fix everything!"

She's not troubled by the look on Trunks' face, because it makes total sense to be freaked out after realizing that they really have been kidnapped from different points of time and meeting family from the future.

"No, mommy's not here. Now. Why don't the two of you play or something while your dad figures this out." Because is he going to need a beer or something after this. He sets Bulla back down, not really realizing quite yet that leaving these two unattended might have awful results...

And he walks back out to the kitchen because he smells his pancakes burning. Ugh. It figures.

Trunks immediately protest this idea. He's not going to do that. Thus he stands up again with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face as he follows Vegeta into the kitchen.

"But dad, I hardly know her. And besides, I don't want to play with a girl. She'll make me play dress up and house, that's so lame."

There's no ifs, ands, or buts about it for him.

"That's mean!" Bulla protests, sticking her tongue out at her brother. "I was going to say we should play hide and go seek. I bet you wouldn't be any good at playing house anyway!"

She turns up her nose in a gesture reminiscent of her mother. "Hmph!"

He glares back at Trunks. "She is your sister, and if you don't know her now, then maybe you should think about getting to know her." What a little brat, argh. "Anyway, Bulla, you're right. Trunks isn't very good at any games, now that I come to think of it. I'm sure that you'd easily beat him at hide and go seek or house."

Man he hopes that his son takes the bait on that one. A man has things to do, you know, like making god damned breakfast for the three of them.

Trunks does take the bait, especially since his pride is on the line. Being beaten by a girl? There's no way that would happen!

"She would not! Fine then, we'll play hide and seek so I can show you I'm a master at that game." He sounds so confident and full of pride, it's ridiculous. "I've beaten Goten multiple times before, so I can beat a little girl."

That's enough to make Bulla smile. Daddy is the strongest and smartest, because now Trunks is willing to play with her when he wasn't a moment ago.

"Okay! We can play a game you like better after, Trunks."

It's only fair that she co-operate. Maybe if they take turns and she plays some of his boy-games, he'll play house later.

Cue a big heavy sigh from their father. He is praying this shit ends soon, because the two of them in this state will surely be the end of his sanity.

"Alright you two, now go play and leave me be. I'll call you when breakfast is done." At this rate though, maybe it's better just to take them to Seventh Heaven instead...

Trunks takes Bulla outside the house and they prepare to play the game, however Trunks has another idea. Maybe, he thinks, he can dupe her into doing things like he used to with Goten. Sure she was a girl, but she seemed easy enough to be pulled into pranks and hi-jinks with.

"Say Bulla, do you want to play a better game than hide and seek? One that's way more fun?"

Bulla hopes it's not something like playing with toy cars or pretending to be dinosaurs, but she's trying to get along with her big (but not as big as before) brother. If it's a game like that, then he's totally getting roped into playing house and having a tea party when it's her turn. Maybe the game will be fun, though. He is older and more knowledgeable.

"Okay. What's the game?"

He hears the two of them finally go outside. Thank goodness. He's just going to concentrate on not burning the damn-

"Argh! Not again!"

-pancakes.

Trunks grins from ear to ear before crossing his arms and looking around to make sure their dad doesn't hear then continues.

"It's called Surprise. We go around and surprise people with things like gifts or other stuff. Sounds fun, right?"

Yeah, he's totally got her duped on this. What a genius you are, Trunks.

"Oh! Like toys and cookies and things like that?"

Yup, she's not suspecting a single thing. Way to dupe your five year old sister, Trunks. Good job. She's thinking it'll be something like sneaking up and dropping a cookie in someone's lap, then running away before anyone sees who did it. Something perfectly harmless. Little does she know.

"Yeah, that sounds fun. Who do we surprise first?"

It's a good thing he can't hear them. He knows his son and if he had heard any of it Trunks would be a dead boy. But unaware Vegeta is unaware. Cooking does take time, after all.

"No no, I've got better ideas than that. Just come with me and we'll find some really nice gifts. Trust me."

Trunks feels so sneaky and devious right now, but so proud at the same time. Oh man the fun he's about to have with this, he can't wait at all. This place won't know what hit it with the plans Trunks has.

"I don't know, let's just find someone nice and see if we can't surprise them."

"Like a whole cake? Or a pony?"

Bulla's wondering what kind of gifts they might give now. She trusts Trunks' judgment, although they'll have to see where they can find gifts to give in the first place. She follows after him, utterly clueless that his intent is anything but benign. At worst, maybe they'll startle someone, but who could stay mad when presented with a cake?

"Even better than that stuff! Come on, let's go."

He grabs his sister's hand and starts dragging her off to find some nice "gifts" they can find around since this was going to be great. Or at least that's what he thinks anyway.

He still doesn't notice they'd gone. But he will in about twenty minutes or so when he's done 'cooking'. which he is still making feeble attempts at.

Whoops, he burnt another one. This is so annoying, how does the woman do it?

Well, since Fayt suddenly had no idea who she or Cliff was, Nel had decided to check in with some of the people she knew to make sure everything was alright. Vegeta was on the list and she knocked on the door to his house cautiously.

She knew that he lived with his son and daughter, but she had no idea what to expect.

Vegeta will answer the door. Who knew where those tykes were at. He's not entirely sure if he wants to know.

"Well, what brings you here? I don't remember inviting anyone over."

Well, it was a relief to see that Vegeta was still the same. And that he remembered her as well. However, that's not going to show on her face.

"I simply came to check up on you. I believe there's another Shift going on. It appears that Fayt was affected, so Cliff is watching him. I volunteered to check on your and your children. To see if you were still yourself, that is."

"Yeah, tell me about it." He looks behind him to see if he can spot the kids. "I'm fine, but Bulla and Trunks...well, let's say they remember me but they're not quite the same as they were yesterday."

From outside of the house and around the corner, Bulla tugs at her big brother's arm, noting the arrival of a woman talking to their father from the doorway of their hosue.

"Should we play the surprise game with her?" she whispers.

Seeing Nel, Trunks gets a large grin growing on his face and nods at Bulla. Oh man it was their first target of the day! This should be good.

"Yeah, let's totally play the surprise game on this lady." he whispers to her.

"What kind of present are we going to give her?" Bulla asks. "What about a flower?"

Sorry, Trunks. Your little sister just isn't going to think of anything awful on her own. Sneaking up on someone and surprising them sounds like it might be fun, but her "gift" ideas are benign.

Trunks finds a frog near a puddle and smirks, but stuffs it into his pocket before grinning at his sister.

"Nah, I got something better." He says before going over to see Nel.

"Anyway, we're perfectly fine thanks, so if you don't mind, I'm going to continue taking care of some things." He'll give Nel a moment to say her goodbyes if she likes, but he's going back in and doing some things he's got to take care of, especially with a couple of young brats running around.

Bulla can't see why a frog would be a better gift, so she picks a few dandelions and daisies growing amongst the grass and follows hastily after her brother to see what she's supposed to do next. Maybe the surprise is supposed to be giving a person a gross present that no one would want first and then a nicer one, and Trunks just forgot about the nicer part?

She holds the dandelions and daisies behind her back and follows behind Trunks with a sweet little smile on her face.

"Hi, miss!" she greets enthusiastically. "Are you Daddy's friend? I'm Bulla, and this is my big brother Trunks!"

Nel had watched the children as soon as they showed up, and her heightened hearing could pick up their whispered conversation, even over Vegeta's postering and general crankiness.

"You're fine, Vegeta," she said with half relief before she turned her attention to the little girl at her feet.

"I suppose you could call your father and I acquaintances, Bulla. It's nice to meet you and your brother Trunks." Although, she'd seen the girl before now, and she should be as old as Sophia, not a small child. While her experience with children extended to Roger, she was going to attempt to not be scary, as Cliff and Clair had called her a few times. "My name is Nel."

There they are. Good. Nel can deal with them now. And he'll totally say nothing as he closes the door to go inside and continue his work. Pro dad, right here.

Trunks has a grin on his face before answering Nel.

"Nice to meet you Miss Nel, Bulla and I have a gift for you if you'd like to see it."

He just continues smiling at her, unaware she may or may not have heard their conversation.

Lovely. Stuck with Vegeta's children. Nel had no practical knowledge of children, seeing as how she had no brothers or sisters and no desire to have any of her own.

Trunks... She looked down at him, wondering who he thought he was fooling with that too large smile of his, but she'd play along with him.

"Of course. Gifts are always nice."

"Ready Trunks?" Bulla said, trying to stop herself from giggling. She had her own surprise ready, to follow up with Trunks' "gift". She wondered if Nel would jump or shriek when she saw the frog.

"You go first."

"Okay, I hope you like it."

From his pocket, he lets a frog jump out and onto Nel's shoulder then waits for her reaction. Obviously she's going to have a freak out, right?

Nel looks at the frog and then back at the little boy, face impassive. "Is this it?" She picks it up and brings it around to look at it better. "It's smaller than the ones I used to catch with my best friend as a girl."

Bulla blinked. Well, that was kind of disappointing. Nel had no real reaction to the frog. Bulla wondered if she'd even react to the dandelions and daisies that Bulla presently had behind her back.

With a flourish, she pulled out the makeshift bouquet. "Surprise!"

Flowers? Bulla was really cute. "Thank you, Bulla. These are very pretty. Where did you get them?"

And seriously, these were Vegeta's children? She was sort of interested in meeting their mother now. Because there was no way that children this adorable were raised solely by that man.
