My Old Life
So here I am trying to build my IQ light when I am called downstairs by my mother to see my best friend. He is smart, ~maybe he can help me~ I thought leading him to my room. He points out where I messed up and soon we correct it and it looks amazing, just like him,what the hell was that? Did I just think that? Well that came from no where didn't it? I ask myself.
"Something on your mind?" he asks
~Your hotness~ I think but instead say "Oh, nothing"
"I know when your lying, what is it" he asks getting impatient.
"If someone you knew was gay, what would you do?" I ask a little bit afraid of his response.
"I'de push them away, beat them to a pulp, and avoid them"he said coldly.
That response was the one thing I didn't want to hear. It shattered my heart into a million pieces and then those pieces disintegrated.
"I would accept them, and still talk to them like normal human beings" I say hoping to sway his mind.
All of a sudden I start to howl. I grow hair and start getting larger. I looked up to see a full moon uncovered by clouds above my head. Since I'm a saiyan with a tail and there's a full moon there's only one conclusion,I'm turning into an ape. I look down to see the shock in my friends eyes as he gets up and runs away calling me a freak. This has happened twice now and it looks like I'm moving again.
~Later that week~
I have moved to Japan in a nice secluded spot, thank god, so no one else can see what we saiyans are like. I look down from our house on the mountain and see the town below. The lights are beautiful and I believe there's a festival going on.
"Goten, I have some good news" my dad says as he interrupts my thoughts about the city.
"What" I ask as curious as I can be.
"My old friend, Bulma, lives near by and has a son that you can be friends with"he says bouncing with happiness and excitement.
"Dad I'm a senior, what good is it to have a friend for only one year?" I ask as I go back to glaring at the city beneath me.
"You'd be surprised" He said walking back in the house.
My room wasn't finished yet so I camped outside that night. I wonder what this kid is like,I keep thinking about as I fall asleep and even in my dream that night.
"Goten, breakfast" my mother shouted from the door way of our house.
That one word got me up in the morning everyday. It put a smile on my face and even made me not care if the world was going to end.
"Thanks mom" I shout back from inside the tent putting a shirt on.
I walk inside to a lavender haired boy sitting at the table next to a blue haired woman in a fancy dress.
"Hello, I'm Goten" I say with my arm outstretched for a handshake.
"Hi Goten, I'm Bulma and this is my son Trunks" She says with a smile never leaving her face as she shake my hand.
"Hey Goten, I hear you practice martial arts, care to spar?" He asks with a smile.
"Sure" I tell him letting him lead the way out the door and into the yard.
We start the match standing still until he rushes at me and try to connect a punch to my cheek. I dodge it and knee him in the gut.
"Are you done warming up?" I ask very confident in myself.
"Yea I'm done" he says sending multiple Ki blasts my way.
I dodge those too and notice he's not hitting anything is he, I can use this against him. He notices the same thing I did because he powered up to super saiyan. I did too but must have gone super saiyan 2 without realizing it because Trunks dropped his super saiyan state, mouth agape, and kneeled.
"You win, I give up" He says with a shameful expression.
"Soooo, now what?" I ask.
"You want to come over later, maybe spend the night?" He asks with a sheepish grin.
"I guess so" I say with a smile as I slug him in the arm.
"What was that for?" He whines.
"For giving up" I say before standing up and walking inside.
"Hi guys" I say with a grin.
Everyone except Trunks looked at me shocked.I felt like I was a freak the way they were staring at me.
"What going on?"I ask curiously.
"Umm Goten, your power level and tiny lightning" My dad says pointing a finger.
"Oh yea that, its easy" I say about to explain.
"Goten, I'm not that powerful yet" my dad explains which shocks everyone including me.
"Really?"I ask in disbelief while powering down to my raven haired self.
"Yea I can only go super saiyan" he says with a proud smile.
"My father can too" Trunks adds in.
"Who's your dad?" my father asks.
"Vegeta" he says with a frown.
"Really, he was my enemy years ago"my dad explains the story about Raditz then Nappa and Vegeta.
So we discuss what each family has been doing in the past several years and the next thing I know I'm in a car with a suitcase in the trunk and Bulma is driving me to their house with Trunks in the passenger seat.
"Goten, there's something you should know about us, out last name is Briefs" he says looking me straight in the eye.
"Briefs, like Capsule Corp?" I ask not caring what his last name is.
"Yea" he said looking downward.
~He thinks I want to use him for money~ I thought in to myself.
"I've never bought anything from Capsule Corp, only things made in china, but hey that's America" I explain with a smile and a laugh.
He laughs and smiles and so does Bulma, they must trust me. Its good to be trusted you truly feel as though you are a part of something.
"So what do you know about Capsule Corp?" he asks.
"Only that they make things like space ships and capsules that can consume anything, I had to do research for a paper in history once" I say
"So what do you do for fun Goten" Bulma asks.
"Umm I sang in the show choir in my old school, and I text my friends from America who don't think I'm a freak" I say that last part made me frown.
"What?,You a freak, no way" he says laughing as if it were all a joke.
Its not, but he may figure this out later. Its all too real, I'm a true monster.
"Oh no, its true, that's why we moved" I explain.
"Well then I gotta see it" Trunks says with a smile.
"It only occurs when a full moon happens"I say.
"Awwww" he says whining.
"We discuss school and colleges as I look into those deep sapphire blue eyes.
"Goten, you ever played a virtual video game before?" Trunks asks curiously.
"Once at a party, one of my friends pulled it out and we played all night"I explain.
"Okay good to know" he says with a devilish smirk.
"Trunks explain the side effects of the game" Bulma says.
"Whatever you feel in the game, you feel in real life" he explains
"Okay it sounds like fun, I cant wait" I say with a genuine smile.
"We're here!" he says excitedly jumping from the car and onto the drive way.
Okay so this is great so far. I walk into the mansion to see a young teenage girl with blue hair.
"Who's the cutie Trunks?" she asks looking me over.
"This is Goten and he's off limits" he says with a smirk towards his sister.
I was lost deep in his eyes but snapped back to reality before HE noticed.
"Come on let's go upstairs"Trunks says motioning me to follow.
I start to follow him but I'm yanked from behind and pulled into a bathroom. I turn around to see none other than Trunks'sister.
"Do you like my brother? Are you gay?" she says with a smirk.
"Is it really that obvious?" I ask her.
"Yea but I won't tell him"
"Thank you so much" I say
"No problem, now get upstairs" she says pointing towards the stairs.
