Vegeta had made the pool for the family. He had it made shortly after Bra had been born as a sign that he was Bulmas and Bulma was his. The Pool had three lanes for laps, and the rest of the pool has a shallow end that was as low as 3 feet, and the deep end had a diving board and a slide that went in circles until it reached the end. The deep end was as deep as 20 feet. On the bottom of the pool Vegeta got the constructers to put the royal sign of Vegeta-sei on it, so that people knew that his family was royal (even it he was the only person on the planet besides his family that knew what it meant).

Mirai Trunks now swam in the water, enjoying the solitude of the water and the peace and quiet. He would swim down to the deep end, and sink down to the bottom, where he would sit until he ran out of breath. He then later on decided to do some laps, so he elegantly swam over to the lane that was on the edge of the pool.

Bulma and Chichi had suggested that he go swimming until everyone got home that way he could explain who he was only once. Bulma told him that Bra ("Who's Bra?" Trunks had asked Bulma and Chichi, but he only got a school girl giggle from them) will be home at 4:00, and Trunks would be getting off of work at 8:00, Vegeta would be coming home at the same time as Bra because he would be driving her home from where ever she was.

Right now it was a little bit past4:30, so Trunks was going to try and stay out of sight for a few more hours. So, he figured he would swim for a couple of hours until 7:00, take a shower, get dressed, then sneak a snack from the kitchen, then it should be about time for him to stop hiding.

Right now Trunks was on his tenth lap, being a Saiya-jin, he was able to stay under water much longer than a Ningen, and his muscles didn't get tired that easily. Only know was his muscles getting a little bit tired, but he could easily got fifty or more laps until he would be pushing himself, right now, it was just relaxing to feel the water go pass him.

Mirai was wondering how much everyone else had changed, he knew he hadn't changed that much, but what of these people? How had they grown?

From what Bulma told him, Vegeta was now being more of a father figure to Trunks, and Gokus second son, Goten, was the youngest Super Saiya-jin. Trunks was shocked, awe, jealous, and even a little bit angry that this little boy of seven had gone Super Saiya-jin as if it were nothing! And Trunks himself had to struggle real hard, and then it took Gohans death until finally transformed.

So, now Mirai was enjoying the pool. It was so new to him, people in his time didn't get to do this. Unless, of course, you had a pool in your backyard, but that was just like having an invitation for the Androids to come play (he never quite figured out why the androids were attracted to pools). So, swimming in a pool was quite a luxury for him.

He swam our of the lanes, and into the wider pool area and turned on his back and just floated there. His long hair (yeah yeah yeah, I know I said that he had short hair in the previous chapter, but sigh I can just imagine him with his long hair, swimming in a pool, his hair surrounding him) fanning out.

"You can't be here."

Mirai was startled by this new noise, and stood up in the water, and looked towards the female voice. What he saw shocked him. There in the pool, no more than 10 feet away from him was a clone of his mother.

`I know she was fooling around with cloning before I left…but I never thought she'd succeed! And to go as far as cloning herself?'

"uummm…" Mirai started `What if she doesn't know she's a clone? What if she doesn't know who I am and she starts attacking me? I'd hate to have to kill one of moms' experiments…'

"Why can't I be in the pool? Have I done something wrong?" Mirai started, trying to get his mind off of another one of his mothers.

"Because Trunks isn't allowed to have friends in the pool!" She stated.

Boy did this girl remind Trunks of his mother. So…she thought he was one of Trunks' friends?

`Better than her thinking I'm an enemy.'

"Why isn't…Trunks…allowed to have friends in the pool?" Mirai decided it'd be best to call Trunks Trunks instead of Chibi, It might confuse the people who didn't know Mirai and where he was from. But it was kind of weird for Trunks to call someone by this name, especially when you were referring to yourself.

"Because he invited a bunch of girls over to `teach' them how skinny dip."

" Chibi did WHAT?!?!" Mirai yelled, shocked.

The girl looked at him as if he were insane, "'Chibi'? Who's Chibi? Are you referring to Trunks as `Chibi'? Jeeze…are you messed up."

"It's his nick-name for me." A voice said.

Mirai looked over to the edge of the pool, to see Chibi Trunks in beige pants and a white shirt tucked into his pants. The legs of his pants were rolled up and his feet were dipping into the pool. After he said that, he took a cigarette he was smoking, and put it out on the edge of the pool.

"Trunks," The bluette said "You know that Tou-san doesn't like it when you smoke."

"And Tou-san doesn't like it when you sneak out at night, yet you still do it, princess." Trunks said, stressing the word `princess', Mirai didn't understand why, but he felt like this scene was, or should have, been familiar.

Mirai turned to Trunks, and pointing at Bra, he asked "Who it she? And mind explaining why I'm not allowed in the pool?"

"You're allowed, but Trunks' friends aren't, because he is banned from having any friends in the pool, and it better stay that way for another 3 and a half weeks." A deep voice growled from the entrance to the pool.

Mirai looked over to where the voice came from, only to see a man with hair that looked like he had a bad day with a Destructo Disk. He looked kind of familiar, and the feeling of familiarity washed over him again. He searched the area for a certain Ki, and sure enough, he felt his fathers.

"Tou-san? What happened to you? Dis Krillin again?" Mirai laughed.

Vegeta frowned. A long time ago, had Mirai said that, he would be in a pile on the floor in a matter of seconds. But not now. He guessed that in some ways, his father had changed, he was hoping enough to where he wouldn't hit him out of anger.

Which he didn't. And Mirai was shocked, yet happy. This was more what he guessed his father would be like when he was younger.

"Tou-san?" The girl yelled, "He is NOT your Tou-san."

Mirai looked at the girl, still puzzled to who she was. "Yes, yes he is my Tou-san."

"But he's MY Tou-san, I think I'd know if I had two brothers."

"What?" Mirai yelled, shocking Bra "You mean you're my Imouto?"

"What do you mean I'm you little sister? Trunks is my only Brother!"

"But…" Mirai stammered, then looking at Vegeta, he said " I thought it was a one night stand!" he yelled.

Vegeta just grinned.

"So did I, so did I…"
