Dragonball and all its characters belong to Akira Toriyama.
This is simply another get-together of Goten and Trunks.
This follows the events AFTER DragonBall GT (In Japanese Dub it's set 5 years after the ending DBZ.)
I generally don't like DBGT, but I decided to put my feelings aside and make use of it.
What started off as drabbles ended up as a short story thanks to my many bus rides to and from uni ^.^
I know that this type of storyline has been done SO many times, but forgive me; I wanted to try it too.
I'm sorry if the story doesn't feel completed or feels rushed. I wanted it to be short and quick.
"..." is speech
-italics- is thought
"What if we were more than friends? What would people think? What would you think? I know we've been friends our whole lives - we're like brothers. We've always been Trunks and Goten. But that one night made me question; what if? Could it work?"

Age 790

Weeks had passed since Goku and the dragon balls had left. With the world finally at peace once more, cities were finally being rebuilt. The progress came along quickly with the help of the many robots Bulma and Trunks had built.
Things soon enough fell back into place as everyone tried to accept the fact that they were no longer ever going to see their great friend and hero or the magical balls that had changed their lives. Even though the cities were busy being re-built, in the outskirts things look great.
The Son residence was filled with laughter everyday as things fell back into place. Gohan and his family would visit next door at Chi-Chi's quite often for a nice meal. Goten still stayed at home, regularly bringing his girlfriend, Valese, over for visits.
Trunks and the Briefs' Capsule Corp. home was still in top shape, but rush hour had been placed inside it since their return. They had robots and machinery to build after all.
Bulma's hard work and late nights finally caught up to her as she walked through the halls early that morning. She walked past a mirror and nearly shrieked when she saw her reflection.
"I seriously need a holiday," she groaned. She cringed as she realised the wrinkles forming on her once beautiful face.
With the increase work-load, things started taking a hard time on her body. She soon realised that Vegeta wasn't the same either. Granted, he had changed so much over the years that there wasn't much of a difference, but she could see the fire that once burned in him was slowly dying. She knew it was because of Goku; his friend and rival all gone in that one day. The weight of the world was suddenly placed onto his shoulders once Goku had opted to leave. Vegeta didn't care much, although he did visit the lab every once and while, but he mainly still trained. She sighed, knowing that they needed some sort of holiday. They both needed to get away from the city and enjoy some time alone. Mr. Satan came to mind and she knew that she had to book a get-away for her and Vegeta for at least one night. Bulla was old enough to look after herself for one night, but perhaps she would get Trunks to keep an eye out on her just in case. She hoped this plan would work out.

"I want you to babysit Bulla for two nights,"
"What?" Trunks asked, looking up from his computer screen. Once Bulma had made the bookings, she had raced to the Capsule Corp Headquarters to discuss the plans with Trunks. She was thankful to find him in his office. He had a bad habit of flying out whenever he was bored.
"Vegeta and I are going over to Mr. Satan's Hotel later today. We need a little time away,"
"But mum, don't you think Bulla is old enough to look after herself?"
"Trunks..." Bulma furrowed her brows. –There's no way he's getting out of this one.-
"I... I had a date planned for this weekend... You can't tell me to cancel now!"
"Please Trunks. Vegeta and I don't ask much of you. I've already talked to Bulla about it and she's fine with it. She even invited Pan over for the weekend,"
"She did what?!" Trunks' eyes bulged, not liking where this was going. –One person is bad enough... But throwing Pan into the mixture is making it into a mess!-
"Come on,Trunks. It won't be that bad; just ask the girl to have the date next week. And anyway, you could always invite Goten over. I'm sure he won't mind," she tried to encourage.
"If you and dad really need to get away, then fine," Trunks sighed reluctantly. There was no way around it. It wouldn't be too bad? Right?
"Thank you, thank you! Vegeta and I leave this afternoon, we'll be back Sunday sometime, alright?!" Bulma waved, already running through the door as all the endless possibilities filled her mind. –A weekend away with Vegeta. This is going to be amazing.-
Trunks sighed, placing his hands to his face and running his fingers through his hair. -Having Goten over wouldn't be too bad. Well, that's if I can get him to come over without Valese.- An idea struck him at that moment. He beamed brightly, picking up his phone to text Goten and Marron. He decided this would be a perfect opportunity to have a small get together with the three of them. He quickly texted both recipients: 'Drinks tonight at my place, keen?'
