The younger saiyan has tried to get his mother to come within her senses, but his plans surprisingly hasn't been working out. Whenever he tries to bring up a good memory she quickly shuns them, making up a ridiculous story how she was so miserable. After all that Goten still has hope to make her recover. His brother didn't want anything to do with his plan telling him it won't work. He's had help from his friend sending him photos of his father and his family from childhood to now. He even asked his grandfather to send him photos of his daughter and Goku from when they were kids.

After the tournament the Ox King has been visiting them on the weekends. Goten noticed it was one of the only times his mother stayed away from Gohan.

"Hey! I'm so glad to see you both doing well." The Ox King is always happy to see his grandkids.

"Same here Grandpa. Are you going to spend the night here?"Gohan asks.

"You know what, that's a good idea Gohan. I haven't slept over in a while."

"Great, I'll be in the back picking out food."

After Gohan leaves towards the backyard Chichi quickly follows him. Goten asks his grandfather, "Did you bring them Grandpa?"

"Whoops I must have forgot."

"Aww-"

"Just kidding kiddo, you'd think I'd forget something like that?" he takes out the photos he brought.

"Yes! Thanks Grandpa, you're the best!" Goten takes out his own family photo album he made on his own. He used different scraps of paper he accumulated and turned it into his own album scrapbook.

"My my, you did a heck of a job Goten."

"Thanks to you Grandpa it's almost complete."

"No problem, though, I would've thought your mother would've kept her own photo book."

"It was too small for all the photos I collected from you and Trunks."

"I see."

"Well, I better go and see how your brother's doing, he might need my help collecting the food for tonight."

"Okay Grandpa."

The younger saiyan felt proud he was able to put this whole project together. With this there's no way his mother can resist these good memories.

"I can't wait to show her." he felt a rush in his chest, he couldn't wait to show her. As he puts it away the door abruptly opens and Gohan storms in telling him.

"Goten, we have to go upstairs."

"Why?"

"Grandpa just caught Mom and he wants to talk to us."

"Uh oh…" Goten thought.

.

After revealing their mother's true nature, the Ox King was baffled.

"I'm sorry Grandpa. I thought you'd be upset or you wouldn't believe me."

"Gohan, you and your brother are both my grandkids, I love you both so much I'd do almost anything for you.

After a long explanation the man took a deep breath, "I wish I could've done something to stop this. I really am sorry Gohan, you didn't deserve this, you either Goten."

After they hugged him, their grandfather tells them.

"Don't worry kids, this ends now. I'll have a serious talk to your mother before things get out of hand. Plus I also don't want your mom to get in between you and Videl's relationship."

"Um…"

"What's the matter Gohan?"

"About that Grandpa, there's something you need to know."

"What is it?"

"I...don't like Videl. I mean... I'm not in love with her."

"You're not?"

Gohan had to explain his attraction towards guys and that he's in love with someone else.

" So who's the lucky uh… guy?" he aks.

"Um…"

"Is it someone I know?"

"Yeah... Grandpa what would you say if it's…"

Goten didn't like it when someone's beating around the bush, and Gohan wasn't making this easy.

"It's Vegeta Grandpa."

"Goten what the hell?!"

"You were stalling big brother." whined the younger saiyan.

"Vegeta?" the man looked surprised.

Gohan replies

"No offense but why him?"

"I don't know Grandpa, I can't explain love you know."

"Wouldn't you rather want someone more… tame. He is taken after all, if you want I can find someone much better for you back home."

"I'm fine Grandpa." Gohan laughs a little.

"Are you sure? He's pretty fit and I hear he owns a lot of land."

"Grandpa…"

"It's just that I don't really trust him Gohan, he almost destroyed the world and he beat you up when you were a kid." their grandfather sounded worried.

"The past is the past, plus he did kinda helped us on namek and saved me from Cell." Gohan tells him.

Goten explains "Don't worry Grandpa Vegeta's been taking good care of him. Gohan told me last week that he's planning to leave Bulma so he could be with him."

"Is that true Gohan?"

"Yeah."

"I can imagine how Bulma's going to react after he tells her." the Ox King grew a little worried. "Are you sure about this guy? Do you think he's willing to go through with it?"

Gohan smiles. "Yeah, I'm sure."

"Then I support you. I'll talk to your mother about it too."

"Actually Grandpa, Mom doesn't know yet. She doesn't know I'm into men or that I'm in love with Vegeta."

"Do you want me to tell her-"

"No. I want to tell her."

"As you wish." Their grandfather nods.

The two brothers decide to go see a movie so they can give their mother and her father time to talk.

.

After one action packed movie later, the boys come home to their mother who was in the kitchen sipping tea. They didn't get greeted by their grandfather so Gohan asks her,

"Mom, where'd Grandpa go?"

"He left." Chichhi nonchalantly tells them.

"He left, why?"

"Because he couldn't accept our love. I told him if he didn't want us to be together then he should leave."

Their grandfather must have been really mad enough to leave without saying goodbye. Goten felt they should go after him.

Both of them talk upstairs.

"Gohan, maybe we should go see him."

"Maybe you're right, though he could be mad right now, seeing how impossible Mom is. I say we should give him some time. He'll come back next weekend."

Goten nods.

.

.

.

After one month of waiting their grandfather never returned. By that time Gohan tells Goten about the new apartment Vegeta rented. It's perfect he said since it's near his school, and he can just stop by or maybe live there. No one in the area will ever suspect the husband of Bulma Briefs meeting up with a teenager in a random apartment.

"Look I appreciate what you're trying to do, but you have to understand that Mom will never change." Gohan tells his little brother to give up on curing their Mom.

"But you said Vegeta used to be evil, now he's on our side."

"Well… that's true."

"If it's possible with him then the same thing can happen to Mom."

"Dammit Goten-"

The phone rings, interrupting the conversation. The boys then hear their mother's voice,

"Hello…? Oh Bulma what a surprise… What…? You've got to be kidding… But why…? ...Why that little…don't you listen to him! He's the one who caused all the trouble… you shouldn't have married that man in the first place...! I… I know you only did it for Trunk's sake but the man is an animal Bulma. Do you actually think that scumbag could ever love someone, he doesn't even pay attention to his son. We'll talk more about this later, right now….I have to take care of a few things…" After clicking the phone off she quietly laughs then laughs a little louder, and louder. The amount of laughter scares Goten.

"Mu...Mom? Are you...okay?"

"Oh yes Goten. This just turned into the best day ever. Bulma just told me that Vegeta wants a divorce."

"Well that's too bad." Gohan responds.

"I say she deserved it."

"You don't mean that do you?" Goten asks her.

"Of course Goten! That skank was probably sleeping around. I bet she slept with someone and that mongrel probably caught them in the act."

Chichi wraps her arms around Gohan.

"Oh honey that means you never slept with Bulma all along, I'm so proud of you."

"Proud?"

"Yes darling, you overcame temptation and kept your distance away from that dirty whore."

"How do you know I didn't sleep with her?" he pushes her.

"Oh honey, because if you did that lazy bum would have flown here and tried to kill you."

"Well… since Bulma's single now, maybe I can drop by and see if she needs my company."

"Oh you don't mean that darling, we all know you prefer me over her."

"Yeah right, with someone stunning and smart like her who wouldn't wanna go out with her? And…She does have money, which could be also part of my benefit, that's kind of a win."

Chichi grabs him by the collar. "Don't you dare see her!" she yells. "You know damn well you're going to marry Videl!" She shakes him "And what do you mean stunning, am I not good enough for you?!"

"You're my mom dammit, we'll never be together!"

"Don't dare say that in front of our son!'

"Goten's my little brother, we gave you the tests!"

"Those tests are made up!"

"You're just jealous Bulma's sexy!" Gohan mocks

"AAAAGH! You just turned this into the worst moment ever!"

"Good!" Gohan leaves.

Goten was growing tired of the arguments cluttering the house. He can rarely think with his brother purposely making their mother angry.

"Gohan what are you doing making Mom more angry?"

"Goten how can you stand there and listen to this?"

"I don't like Mom saying things like that either but you shouldn't have made her angrier."

"I'm sorry. I'm just getting sick and tired of her sneering at everybody who she thinks is lower than her. I mean she kicked Grandpa out of our house last month and now we haven't seen him in weeks. She probably said something to offend him. And how could she say that to Bulma after everything she's done for her, then again I shouldn't be talking either. But what gets me more mad is when she belittles Vegeta."

"What's belittle?" Goten asks

"It means making someone feel less than a being or not important I guess."

Goten leans against his brother. "Don't worry brother everything's going to work out." he tries to give him hope.

"How could you be so sure?"

"Because we were able to get this far without getting hurt so I guess we can do anything."

Gohan sighed "You're a great little brother Goten. Whoever marries you will be the most luckiest person in the world."

"Can I ask you something Gohan?"

"Sure."

"Since you're gay does that mean I'm gay?"

"It doesn't work like that Goten, it depends how you feel towards someone."

"Well how can I tell what gender I like?"

"Well between a man or a woman, which ones more attractive?"

"Huh?"

"Which one's sexy to you?"

"Oh, women."

"That's your answer."

"So I'm normal?"

"Heterosexual meaning you're straight so...yeah."

.

After a day at the park Gohan, Videl and Goten relax on the couch,

"That was fun Gohan."

"Yeah big bro, what should we do now?" Goten asks.

"Well I'm thinking we should all see a movie next. "

Goten smiles "Great idea."

As they set up the TV in the living room, Gohan went to go make snacks in the kitchen. "I'll go make some popcorn."

Videl asks "So what do you want to watch Goten?" "Anything's fine with you and Gohan." "Alright then."

The younger brother was curious to know if Videl is actually in love with his brother. He asks

her "So Videl are you really planning to marry Gohan soon?"

Videl replies "It's a little early, why? Has he mention anything about it?" Her eyes grew when she asked that.

Goten answers "Oh no, I just wanted to ask... If anyone else confessed their love to you would you accept it?"

"I don't know Goten." As Videl faces the other direction, he took this moment to go for the kill, in this case a kiss. Goten reaches in for a light peck on her cheek, very close to her lips. Videl panics "Goten, what are you doing? I'm your brothers girlfriend, we can't- I mean- you can't do that." By the reaction of his crush she's very in love with her brother. "I… I'm sorry I didn't... It…It was just...out of nowhere. I'm sorry." he apologizes. Videl assures him "I'm sorry, I'm not mad at you, but if Gohan finds out what you did he'll be very upset, and I don't want there to be a fight between you guys."

"But he…he's… You're right, I...won't do it again..." Videl tousled his hair "No worries, I'll keep it a secret okay." Goten felt frustrated, it's so unfair that his brother can keep a pretty woman even though he likes men. He should just tell Videl that his brother is into men, not women. The younger saiyan wonders how her reaction will be if she found that out.

"Hey Videl, by some crazy chance, what would you do if Gohan was seeing someone else?"

"Someone else? Why? Do you know something that I don't?"

"It's just a what if situation."

"I...don't know, I guess I'd be really mad…"

"And what if it's a...man?"

"Wha-wha...what?! A man?!" The question seemed to throw the teen off. She then laughs it off.

"Ah...hahaha! Don't be silly Goten, your brother's not gay, if he were why would he be going out with me, heheh…"

Gohan comes back with the popcorn in hand, "Hey, what did I miss?"

"Oh nothing much, your little brother is really funny you know. He asked what I would do if you turned out to be gay." Videl laughs.

"Really? Goten, think you can help me with the drinks." Gohan urges him.

As both of them went back to the kitchen,

"Goten, what are you trying to do?" he whispers.

"Why are you still lying to her? You should tell her the truth."

"Because It's not the right time."

"What about Vegeta?"

"I already explained to him."

"I don't know why you even went out with her if you're not even into women." he harshly whispers,

"So I can throw Mom off. Why do you even care right now?"

"Hmph, I don't care…" Goten walks out with the jug of tea in his hands. He couldn't believe the nerve of Gohan using people this way, the younger saiyan can just scream.

.

The younger saiyan didn't have enough sleep that night. Apparently his mother snuck into Gohan's bed making him so angry that he threatened to blow up the house if she didn't let him leave. His brother spent the rest of the night at Vegeta's new place.

Later on, as the sun rose his brother knocks on his door.

"Goten, you ready to meet up with Trunks?"

"Yeah, just give me a moment." Goten rubs his eyes.

After a small quarrel with their mother, the two were successfully able to go.

Gohan asked his little brother.

"So is that why you were angry with me yesterday?"

"Huh?"

"You're in love with Videl?"

"Ye… yeah." Goten nervously responds.

"I'm sorry. I wish you could've told me before I even went out with her."

"Videl said you'd be mad if you find out."

"Why would I, you already know about me and Vegeta. Anyway, I'm going to finish things with her, besides, you guys look better as a couple. We better start flying." Gohan looks at the time.

As they both started to float towards the sky Goten asks.

"Gohan, does that mean Mom's going to find out soon?"

"I… I don't know…"

"I know you're afraid of telling her, but it's only going to make her more angry Gohan. I notice your fights with her are only getting worse."

"It is?"

Goten shakes his head.

"I'll find a way, just give me some time. Which reminds me, how come you didn't tell me Mom threw you down the stairs?"

Goten froze for a moment.

"You didn't think Videl would tell me?"

"I just fell."

"Goten, you can fly now, it was easy to put the pieces together and there's no way you could've fallen that easily. If I'm going to tell her, this means you're coming with me."

"Gohan…"

"I mean it. This isn't good for your mental health"

Goten explains. "Gohan if I go with you Mom will only bother us. If I stay she'll have to leave you alone while I keep her busy."

"No she won't. She's still going to come after me whether you're with me or not. She's obsessed with me, she won't stop until she has me. Goten for the love of god please stop trying to cure this woman."

"I won't…"

.

.

.

A few days have passed. Goten couldn't stop thinking about what Gohan said about their mother being a lost cause. He felt a bit of hopelessness thinking that there could actually be no way of curing her mental state, and if not what can he do now.

"Maybe I should go with Gohan, if Mom's going to treat me bad I can't stay."

Gohan comes in wearing a blank expression on his face. "It's done."

"You mean-"

"I broke up with Videl."

"What did she say?" Goten wanted to know.

"She yelled, calling me sick, and then she slapped me in the face. Goten do me a favor, don't ever treat a woman the same way I did. It just makes you feel less of a man."

"I won't."

His older brother sighs, "Any moment now Mom's going to come crashing into this room and ask why. It's time I tell her the truth."

"Maybe it'll change her."

"I hope you're right-"

"GOHAN!" a scream echos the house.

"Here goes nothing, stay here Goten."
