That's the last time he saw Trunks. Every time he would come by his office, the secretary always gave an excuse about Trunks not being available. Leaving Goten frustrated and upset, he went back home to Mount Pao. Sitting in the grass and watching the tall grass sway from side to side, he tried to make sense of his best friend's sudden interest to distance himself from him.

"Hey little brother, something on your mind?" Gohan sat next to him. "You know you can tell me anything, right?"

"I don't know what's going on with my best friend," he looked at his brother, "and I can usually read him so well, but I think he's blocking me out of what he's feeling. I don't know what I should do?"

"I'm guessing you tried to confront him about it."

"Yeah." He could tell Gohan was thinking about something. "What is it Gohan?"

"I was talking to Bulma on the phone one day about Trunks. She thinks that when you went off to college far away, Trunks got upset for some reason."

"Well as long as I can remember, Trunks and I have always been together. When I left, I guess he couldn't handle me being so far away."

"So, what are you going to do?"

"Well I can't give up college Gohan. I'm just going to have to talk to Trunks, and I was wondering if you knew about Trunks and his father's arguing."

"Yeah, it's not a good side to be on the other end of that's for sure."

"You have any idea what they're fighting about?"

"No. When I got to where they were, they stopped. Like there's something they are trying to hide."

"They did that with me to Gohan."

"So, mom wants to know if you met any nice girls at college."

Goten smiled. "Of course she wants to know so she could marry me off."

"Come on Goten that's ridiculous."

"She's been mentioning it to me before I left for school and every time on the phone when she calls me."

"Wow she is persistent."

"Can you try and keep her off my back when it comes to my love life?"

"I'll do my best bro but between you and me. Are you interested in any of the girls at your college?"

"No. Ever since I caught Valese in bed with another guy, I've pretty much sworn off love for a while."

"What you should do is not let mom get to you. You should let love find you. Don't be in a rush to commit to someone just because mom is pressuring you."

"That's good advice Gohan. Thanks." Goten got up, getting the grass off his pants, and heading inside.

"I'm full of it anytime you need it."

"I'll keep that in mind."

"I'll see you later Goten." Goten watched as his older brother entered his home with a smile on his face. A smile caught onto his face to. He was happy for Gohan. He had everything he wanted, a family of his own and a successful job. Leaving Goten feeling cold and incomplete. He thought of his best friend Trunks and a headache began to form. "Just what is Trunks trying to hide from me?" He made his way inside.
