Enjoy the story!
On one hot summer day...
Goten and Trunks were sitting at the Pond, which was near Goten's house. They were just sitting there and relaxing like they always did together every Saturday.
They would always hangout on Saturdays. They did all sorts of things together. Things like training, fishing, and exploring the forest every once in a while.
Goten took a deep breath and then exhaled it out. He loved the summer, it was his favorite part of the year. He looked up at the clear blue skies and closed his eyes.
He didn't say a word, he didn't move or do anything at all. That's when Trunks observed him and then interrupted him by saying,
"Hey Goten."
Goten opened his eyes again and looked back at Trunks asking him,
"Whats wrong Trunks?"
Trunks reached into his backpack and pulled out a band. The band was made out of Rubber Bands!
"Here, I made this for you! As a token of our friendship. I know it seems pretty lame for me to do something like that but..." Trunks said, but he was cutoff by Goten reaching into his backpack as well and pulled out the same type of band Trunks had as well.
"Here Trunks, I made this for you too! Because you're a really awesome friend!" Goten exclaimed.
He smiled brightly and put the wristband on Trunk's wrist. Trunks did the same thing with his wristband as well.
Both of them wore it proudly and agreed to never take it off ever again.
"Best friends?" Goten asked, giggling a bit.
Trunks laughed and then replied back by saying,
"Yep, best friends!"
They gave each other high fives and a fistbump. Both of them laid back down and decided to take a peaceful nap.
A couple of hours later...
Goten woke up slowly. He lifted his head up and looked around again. He was still next to Trunks and started getting bored.
"Hm... I wonder if I can find something cool for Trunks!" Goten thought happily.
He got up quietly without making a sound and flew to the nearest forest.
After a while of flying, Goten spotted all kinds of things everywhere in front of him.
He thought carefully,
"Okay let's see... Something cool to give Trunks!"
Goten looked around and spotted a shiny sky-blue and purple flower. It looked really cool to Goten.
"Perfect!" Goten thought.
He examined the flower for a bit and carefully took it. He didn't notice the thorns on the flower and one poked his finger. The thorn went deep into his finger too!
"Ouch!" Goten cried.
He toughened up and pulled it out of his finger.
"Wow, this is a pretty cool flower! It even has thorns on it too! Trunks would like to see this sorta stuff!" Goten thought happily.
He flew back over to Trunks and yelled out,
"Hey Trunks! Look what I found!"
Trunks woke up and sat up. He looked behind him and saw Goten holding something behind his back.
"What's up Goten?" Trunks asked.
Trunks was wondering what Goten was hiding. Goten showed Trunks the flower and Trunks took a closer look at it.
"Oh hey! Pretty cool! Where'd you find it Goten?" Trunks asked.
"I found it nearby, there weren't any other flowers of it's kind! Maybe it's a new type of flower!" Goten answered.
"Heh, wow you must really like to pick flowers and stuff." Trunks smirked.
Goten nodded his head,
"Yeah! I usually do that from time to time. Along with discovering bugs and stuff!"
That's when Goten started feeling funny. His stomach growled and it growled loud! But the strange thing about it was that Goten's hand started to hurt.
Goten looked at his finger and saw it turn purple a bit. Trunks noticed it too and asked him,
"Um Goten? What's going on with your finger?"
Goten dropped the flower and immediately ran home.
"It's nothing Trunks! I probably just bruised it or something! See you next week okay?" Goten shouted as he ran towards his house.
Trunks was left there confused and alone... He sighed and rolled his eyes. Trunks flew back home and started to worry about Goten.
Back to Goten...
Goten ran back home and eventually made it back.
He looked back at his finger and it looked normal. It wasn't purple anymore and the pain stopped, Goten started to laugh.
"I guess nothing was wrong with my finger after all!" Goten thought.
He opened the door and went inside. After he got inside and closed the door behind him, his mother called,
"Goten? Is that you honey?"
"Yeah mom! I'm home!" Goten answered back.
"Alright baby, you know the drill right? I want you to read a little bit more in your room okay?" Chi Chi reminded him.
Goten nodded his head and ran back up to his room.
He closed the door behind him and read his book for a bit.
After about two hours worth of reading, it was almost dinner time. Goten kept on reading until his finger started to hurt again, along with his stomach.
"Maybe I'm just hungry..." Goten thought.
He put his book down and went downstairs. He spotted his mother setting up dinner plates at the table. Goten helped her and it didn't take too long until food was served on each plate.
When they finished, Chi Chi, Goku, and Goten all sat down at the table together and ate. Gohan wasn't there because he moved in with Videl after Pan was born.
While they were eating dinner, Goten looked back at his hand and it still had that painful sensation in it. Goten ignored it and continued to eat, but every time he took a bite of his food and swallowed it, his stomach continued to hurt.
"What's... Happening?" Goten thought.
Goten started to sweat a bit. Goku noticed this and said,
"Goten? What's wrong son... You look like your in pain! and you're sweating too!"
Chi Chi looked over at Goten and asked him,
"Are you okay sweetie?"
Goten toughened up again and said,
"Yeah mom and dad, I'm just tired from my training with Trunks earlier today."
"Well alright Goten, if anythings wrong you'll tell us right?" Chi Chi asked, just to be sure.
"Yeah mom! I always do." Goten replied back.
Goten finished eating before his parents did, and they were both surprised because Goten only had one plate. Usually he eats a lot more than that.
"Goten are you sure you're alright? You didn't really eat much." Goku asked.
Goten nodded his head and said,
"Yeah dad! I'm just tired. I think I'm gonna go to bed early."
Goten walked up to his parents and gave them both a hug and a kiss on their cheeks.
He went upstairs to his room saying,
"Goodnight!"
"Goodnight Goten." Chi Chi and Goku said.
When Goten closed his door, Goku whispered to Chi Chi saying,
"Do you think anythings wrong with him?"
Chi Chi shook her head.
"No, if he says he's alright then he's telling the truth Goku." Chi Chi explained.
Goku nodded his head in agreement.
They finished eating dinner and decided to stay up a bit. They decided to watch a movie together.
A couple of hours later...
It was about 10:00 P.M. At night, Chi Chi and Goku went upstairs and were already in bed sleeping.
Meanwhile...
Goten woke up instantly and had a nightmare. He sighed and then he felt the same pain again in his stomach.
"Ugh... My stomach is still hurting me." Goten thought.
He started to rub his belly until his hands felt weird. He took his hands off and looked at them.
They were clammy and shaking. He felt the pain come back again, except it was all around his body now. It was pure agony to Goten. He couldn't move because he was in too much pain.
"W-What's happening to me?" Goten thought.
He couldn't do anything except scream out in pain. Goten's loud scream woke up Goku and Chi Chi instantly.
"GOTEN?" Chi Chi shouted.
"Come on Chi Chi, I think he's in trouble!" Goku yelled.
Chi Chi and Goku immediately ran to Goten's room and opened the door. They turned on the lights and saw Goten on the floor.
"G-Goten?" Chi Chi asked, she was scared and worried about him.
She scooped him up into her arms and she tried to wake him up.
No success...
Goku tried to feel his Ki, but he didn't feel it... Now Goku was scared, and Chi Chi just cried.
She was panicking and didn't know what to do. She just held Goten and tried feeling his forehead. It was very hot.
"I think he has a really bad fever." Chi Chi said.
"No, I can't feel any of his Ki... We gotta take him to the hospital." Goku replied back.
Both Goku and Chi Chi were really worried now. Goku knew what to do, so he took both Goten and Chi Chi's hands and used Instant Transmission to get to the nearest hospital.
A while later...
It took a few seconds for Goku to reach the hospital, and he immediately ran up to a nurse and shouted out,
"Please! Help us! My son isn't feeling too well, he's unconscious and his head is really hot."
"Quick! Let me take him to the Emergency Room!" The nurse told them.
She immediately took Goten and carried him into the Emergency Room.
Goku and Chi Chi followed the nurse, but they were blocked off from the manager.
"I'm sorry, but you can't go past those doors." The manager said.
"Why?" Chi Chi asked.
"Sorry guys, but I have to follow the rules. You have to wait in the lobby, and don't worry about him. He's gonna be alright." The manager strictly told them.
Goku and Chi Chi did what the manager said, and they waited in the lobby area.
Chi Chi called all of her friends and told them what happened.
In a matter of minutes...
All of Goku's friends came and tried to comfort them while they waited for an update on Goten.
Chi Chi still kept on crying and Goku tried to comfort her too.
That's when the doors open...
A doctor came out and walked towards them...
He announced something that made everyone feel even more worried than before.
The doctor said...
"I'm sorry..."
