This Is Definitely Not Dragon Ball!!

The plan for Yuujin to train with Trunks in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber had been finalized. On one hand, it was to help Trunks gain the strength he needed to return to his world and defeat the androids. On the other, Yuujin, Goku, and the others planned to take this opportunity to further enhance themselves.

However, before entering the Time Chamber, Bulma, being cautious, brought Goku to the laboratory for a thorough checkup. The results showed that Goku was perfectly healthy, which put everyone at ease.

Though Yuujin had previously wished upon Shenron for Goku to have eternal youth and immortality, it didn't mean she was immune to injuries or illnesses. If Goku were to suffer from a severe heart disease like the alternate Goku, it would be disastrous.

"Trunks, while you're training, could you let me study your time machine?" Bulma asked eagerly as they stood before the entrance to the Time Chamber, ready to enter.

"This…" Trunks hesitated, clearly unsure.

"Come on, just a quick look," Bulma coaxed. "Didn't you say this was made by another version of me? I'm your mother here, so what's the harm?"

Bulma's playful whining left Yuujin, Chi-Chi, and the others speechless. While Trunks had explained it was made by another version of Bulma, she still treated herself as his rightful mother.

"Alright," Trunks relented, blushing slightly, as he handed over the capsule containing the time machine. It was hard to say no to a sight of his mother acting this way.

"Great!" Bulma exclaimed. "Don't worry, I'll be extra careful with it. You all go ahead and train. I'll make sure a feast is ready for you when you're done."

With that, Bulma dashed off to the lab, her excitement evident as she prepared to study the time machine crafted by her alternate self.

"Alright, Trunks, let's head in," Yuujin said.

"Yes, Yuujin-san," Trunks replied.

Watched by Princess Snake and several maidens, Yuujin, Trunks, Goku, Chi-Chi, and Vegeta stepped into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. The clock ticked relentlessly as time passed. Though only a day elapsed outside, a full year went by within the chamber.

Inside Bulma's lab, Trunks' time machine stood in the center, covered in wires and sensors. Bulma and a team of female scientists diligently recorded data. As the door opened with a hiss, Tights entered, flanked by two of her Red Silk Girls.

"Sister, have you handled everything below?" Bulma asked.

"Yes, for now," Tights replied. "Is this the time machine you mentioned, built by the alternate me?"

"Exactly," Bulma confirmed, her excitement uncontainable. "The technology on this thing is amazing. With the data we've gathered, I should be able to build one myself soon."

Tights smiled but wasn't particularly interested in the technical details. "Where's Trunks? Didn't you say he's the son of the other me and Vegeta?"

"It's Vegeta, not 'Vegeta'!" 

(T/N: …)

Bulma corrected, annoyed at her sister's playful tone. She knew Tights was teasing on purpose.

"Haha, alright, Vegeta," Tights replied, grinning. She was equally surprised to hear that the alternate Goku and Vegeta were both male.

"Trunks is training in the Time Chamber with Yuujin and the others. They should be coming out soon. Let's go greet them."

"I'd like to meet him, the child of the alternate you," Tights said with curiosity.

The Time Chamber doors slowly creaked open. Under the watchful eyes of Bulma and Tights, Yuujin, Trunks, Goku, Chi-Chi, and Vegeta emerged. Though only a day had passed outside, the intense training of a year was evident in their significantly enhanced auras.

"Bulma, Tights, I missed you both so much!" Goku exclaimed as she rushed over, hugging them tightly and playfully rubbing against them.

"Ugh, Goku, you're filthy! Go clean up before coming near us!" Bulma protested, but Goku's enthusiasm left her and Tights helpless.

"Tights, you're back too?" Yuujin asked.

"Yes, after hearing about Trunks, I returned once I wrapped up the tasks below."

Bulma and Tights typically handled logistics and administration. Bulma oversaw affairs in the temple, while Tights managed matters on Earth, sometimes staying there for extended periods if needed.

"Trunks, your training must have been grueling," Bulma said. "In just a day, you've become even stronger." Her eyes gleamed with pride as she looked at him.

Trunks, who now appeared more muscular and mature after a year's training, blushed slightly under her gaze. "Mother," he greeted, nodding.

"You must be Trunks," Tights said, studying him intently. "The child of the alternate Bulma. You're an impressive young man."

"You are…?" Trunks asked, puzzled by the woman who resembled his mother but with a slightly different demeanor.

"I'm Tights, your mother's sister. Don't I exist in your world?" she teased.

"A-Aunt Tights?" Trunks stammered. "I've heard about you, but you left home for your dreams before I was born. After the androids destroyed our world, we lost all contact."

"Ah, I see," Tights replied thoughtfully. "I hope the alternate me is still living happily somewhere in the universe."

"Enough talk for now," Bulma interrupted. "You must all be starving. Come, I've prepared a feast!"

"Yes, Mother!" Trunks replied with a smile.
