Chapter 10

Hey everyone. Sorry I been gone for a long time, I've been busy with school and had the worst writers block ever, but hopefully this updated chapter will make up for my absence.

I know from the timeline that the 25th world martial arts tournament started on May 7th, but since this is different, I made it so that the tournament started on May 31st instead.

I wanted to make a birthday chapter just for Goten. Just to make a special chapter for Goten and this could be perfect to do so. Gotta have some good things happening to Goten instead of bad ones.

The timeline doesn't say when Goten's birthday is, but it's between June and December, so I decided to make it for June 3rd.

The time date is currently Age 774, June 2nd

Another day has gone by since the world tournament and the incident with Chi-Chi. The last two days have been Goku and Goten training and training has been going good. Goten has managed to control his Super Saiyan form and is trying to get the hang of flying. Goten wanted to learn more, but Goku insist on taking a break considering that they been training for 2days straight.

The day is going good considering that it's bright and no kind of trouble has happened yet.

Goku was in the kitchen cooking some lunch and Goten was in the living room watching cartoons and playing with his toys. Goku is wearing a white muscle shirt, light green pants, white socks and black shoes. Goten is wearing a white muscle shirt as well, blue shorts, and white socks.

"Hey Goten. Can you go to the market and get some supplies?"

"Sure Dad."

Goten put on his shoes and grabbed the shopping list and left for the market. Goku was keeping the food warm until he heard someone was knocking on the door. Goku went to answer the door and he saw Trunks standing there wearing his green gi outfit with a small blue present in his hands.

"Hey Trunks. Goten just left for the store."

"It's fine. I came to drop off this present for Goten."

"For what?"

"Because it's Goten's birthday today."

"It is!?"

"Yeah. His mom didn't make it a big deal. She didn't want a party for him or anything. Every year I come on by and sneak a gift to him through his window. Since you're here, I don't have to sneak a gift to him anymore."

Goku zoned out in disbelief from hearing what Trunks has said. It's upsetting because a birthday is something special. Goku remembered how happy Gohan used to be whenever his birthday came up. Hearing that Goten never had an actual birthday, made Goku's heart feel like it just shattered into pieces.

"Actually Trunks, can you hold onto that present?"

"Why?"

"Because I think it would be best to give it to him at his party."

"Do you really think we should throw him a party?"

"Why not. He might have fun."

"Ok. We can have it at my house. I'll ask my mom and see if she is up for it."

"Ok. Use my phone to ask her."

Trunks entered the house and went over to where the phone was at and called Capsole Corp. Trunks managed to get hold of his mom and told her the plan. After a while, Trunks hanged up the phone.

"Does your mom like the plan?"

"Yeah she does. She said she is gonna start setting up the decorations now."

"Nice. I guess I'll call everyone."

"Alright. I'll go and help my mom out."

"Ok. Whenever you guys are ready, I head over there with Goten and we can celebrate his birthday."

"Sounds good to me. See ya Goku."

Trunks ran out of the house and went flying back to his house. Goku was waiting in the kitchen for Goten to come back.

Goten came back with a bag full of supplies.

"I got the supplies daddy."

"Thanks son." Said Goku as he grabbed the bag from Goten.

"What are you gonna make?"

"I'm gonna make something small because later on, we will be going to Bulma's place for a special occasion."

"Really? What's the occasion?" said Goten with a confusing look.

"You'll see."

"Ok."

Goku used the supplies on the food and he finished making spaghetti. Both started to eat the small meal.

After when both father and son finished eating, Goku told Goten to dress into something nice. Goku decided to dress up as well so he went to his room and changed out of his current attire and into a black suit with a blue tie. Goku stepped out of his room and the phone started to ring. Goku walked up to the phone and answered it and it was Bulma telling Goku that everything was ready to go. Goku was surprised to hear that everything was ready that fast, but he wasn't gonna think too much about it.

Goku hanged up the phone and called for Goten.

"Goten. It's time to go!"

"Hold on Dad. I'm having a hard time here. Can you come in here and help me!?"

"Sure, I'm coming!" shouted Goku as he was heading towards his son's room.

Goku entered his son's room to see that Goten was having a having a hard time putting on his red bow tie. Goten was wearing a white dress shirt, black dress pants and black dress shoes. Goku went up to Goten, kneeled down, and began to do his bow tie.

Goku finished doing his bow tie and started to head out and Goten followed his dad after grabbing his black dress jacket. Goku called for nimbus and both father and son left to their friend's house.

After 15mins, they arrived at Capsole Corp and started to walk inside the building. Both kept walking until they ran into Vegeta in the lobby, who is wearing his regular dark blue attire.

"Hey Vegeta. What are you doing here? I figured you would be training." Said Goku.

"I was until the women yanked every wire out of my chamber and won't put them back in until after the party."

"Party?" said Goten with a confused look.

"Hey Vegeta. Can you take us to where Bulma has everything set up?"

"Whatever."

Both Goku and Goten followed Vegeta until they entered the room where everything was set up. Goku and Goten saw all the balloons and streamers hanged up everywhere, food prepared, and a pile of gifts on top of a table. The next thing they knew, the Z-fighters jumped out of their hiding spot.

"SURPRISE!" shouted Everyone.

Goten was so surprised that he nearly jumped out his clothes. Goku kneeled down to Goten's level.

"This party is for you, Goten. Happy Birthday Son." Said Goku.

Goten was speechless, he didn't expect to have a party for his birthday. He never had a party before because of his mom, although his birthday last year was indeed different. Goten looked down at the ground and started to think about his birthday last year.

-Flashback begins-

Goten was in his room playing with his robot that he got from Trunks earlier this morning. Goten was wearing a blue and grey sleeveless vest with a white long sleeve shirt underneath, white slacks, and white and blue socks. As Goten was gonna grab another toy, his mother, Chi-Chi entered the room.

"Hey Goten, I made you a cake. Come and get a slice.

Goten followed his mother with a smile on his face. Both got into the kitchen and Goten saw that their was a lot of people in the living room and by the look of it, almost all of them were drinking and smoking. Goten didn't like any of the smells.

"Here you go Goten." Said Chi-Chi as she gave Goten a medium size piece of cake.

"Can I eat this in my room mom?"

"Sure. Just don't make a mess."

Goten walked back to his room and shut the door behind him. Goten walked to the middle of the room, sat down and started to eat his cake. Goten loved the cake because it was chocolate flavor and he loved chocolate.

Goten finished his cake and decided to get another piece. Goten got up and walked out of his room. Goten entered the living room and he saw his mother sitting down on the table drinking a bottle of alcohol. Goten walked over to his mother.

"Hey mom. Can I have another piece of cake?"

"Sorry. There is no more cake. I gave everyone a slice."

Goten wasn't happy about that. He looked around and it looked like everyone had gotten a bigger piece than what he got. Goten threw his plate away and went back into his room.

An hour went and Goten was still in his room playing with his toys. Goten managed to build a small city out of blocks. Right when Goten put a small flag on top of a tower, the door was flown open and a teenager walked in with a present. The teenager had long blond messy hair that went to his shoulders and was wearing a long red plaid shirt, black jeans, and dirty white shoes.

"Hey Birthday boy. I came to give you a gift."

"Really!" said Goten as he ran over to the teen.

The teen handed the gift to Goten and Goten opened it up. What Goten saw was a medium size piece of pie with "SURPRISE" written in whipped cream on top.

"It is this for me!?" said a happy Goten.

"Yeah it is. Let me get it out of the box."

The teen got the pie out of the box and just shoved it into Goten's face, knocking him down onto his butt in the process. The teen and his friends, who were hiding in the hallway, started to laugh.

"What was that for?" said Goten, who was about to cry.

"Because it was funny."

"Well that wasn't nice."

"Your right. I'm sorry. Let's clean you up. Care to help me out guys?"

Three teenage boys entered the room and went around Goten. Goten slowly got up and if right on cue, each teen grabbed one of Goten's limbs and lifted Goten up in the air. Goten was shocked and tried to break free, but they were stronger than him. All teens took Goten outside and went to the back of the house and kept walking until they got to a big muddy puddle. All the teens threw Goten into the puddle and they went back inside laughing at what happened.

Tears started to form in Goten's as he was standing up. Goten got up and looked at himself and he was completely covered in mud. His colored vest was darkened and his undershirt, slacks, and socks were no longer white. His hair had a lot mud and leaves. And his face was not only covered in pie still, but also with mud.

Goten walked back inside the house and saw that almost everyone left except the teens and Chi-Chi's boyfriend. Chi-Chi turned to see Goten covered in mud and started to yell at Goten.

"GOTEN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING COMING IN HERE ALL MUDDY?"

"I wanted to get cleaned up."

"WHY WERE YOU PLAYING IN THE MUD WITH YOUR CLOTHES ON ANYWAYS?"

"I wasn't I was thrown-"

"NO EXCUSES. YOU ARE GONNA WASH OFF OUTSIDE INSTEAD."

"Can I get another pair of clothes, first?"

"I WILL GIVE YOU CLOTHES WHEN YOU FINISH CLEANING YOURSELF AND THOSE CLOTHES. NOW GET BACK INSIDE."

Goten went back outside and went around back to where the hose was at and stripped down naked. Goten turned on the hose and started to clean himself and his clothes. Goten was rushing to get clean because of how cold he was, the hose was spraying ice cold water and the air started to blow.

Goten finished cleaning himself and hanged his washed clothes on the clothesline and started to wait for his mother, which was taking longer than expected. Goten was standing in the same spot for a long time, so he decided to go see where his mom was at. Goten got to the front and saw that everyone had left, so he decided to go inside the house.

Goten shut the door behind him and saw that his mother passed out on the couch. He didn't bother to wake up his mom, so he walked back into his room and change into something warm. Goten entered his room and decided to wrap himself up with his blanket because he was too cold to change into anything and passed out.

-Flashback Ended-

That day was horrible because of how much he went through with those teens and his mother didn't do anything about it. He told his mom about it the next day, but again, she didn't do anything about it.

"Hey son. Are you ok?" said Goku.

Goten snapped back into reality and turned to his father.

"Do you like it. We did it for you."

Tears began to form in Goten's eyes and then he gave his dad a big hug. Goku gave his son a hug back, knowing that his son was happy about the party.

Both let go of each other and the party started.

Everyone was having a fun time. The adults were sitting down, talking about the old days. Goten, Trunks and Marron were playing in the big inflatable house.

An hour went by and everyone was eating birthday cake. Goten was sitting down with his brother and his girlfriend eating. Goten stopped eating and looked around.

"What's the matter bro?"

"Where did dad go? I don't see him anywhere."

"I saw him walking towards the lobby." Said Videl.

Goten got up and ran towards the lobby to find his dad. Goten entered the lobby and he didn't see his dad, but he did see Vegeta. Vegeta turned and saw Goten standing by the door.

"What is it brat?"

"I was wondering where my dad went."

"He said he was going somewhere to get something."

"Why?"

"I don't know. He will be back. Just wait until he gets back."

Goten decided to do so and just waited for his dad in the lobby. Goten sat down on the ground and just looked at the front door. Gohan entered the room and saw Goten sitting on the floor.

"Goten, what are you doing on the floor?"

"I'm waiting for dad to come back."

"He will be back soon. Come back to where everyone else is at. It's about time to open your gifts."

"We can't yet. Dad isn't back yet."

"We need to do them now Goten. Everyone has other things to do in a while."

Goten couldn't argue with that. Goten got up and followed his brother back to the group. Goten sat down near his gifts and was about to grab a gift until his father walked in with a box in his hand.

"Sorry about that, but I had to get this for Goten."

Goku handed the box to Goten.

"What's in here?" said Goten.

"Open it and find out."

Goten opened the box and inside it, he saw that he got a new gi. Goten had a big smile on his face.

"You got me a new gi!?"

"Yes, I did. Since your other gi got destroyed, I figured I would get you a new one. Why don't you try it on?"

Goten went behind a tree and tried on his new gi.

"Hey Dad. How did you get that gi so fast." Said Gohan as he approached his dad.

"I went back home real quick, got Goten's ripped up gi, met up King Kai, and asked him to fix up the gi. He did and he said he changed up the gi as a gift." Explained Goku.

Goten came from behind the tree and he was standing in his new gi outfit. His new gi still had the same colors and his gi was still kind of the same as his old one, but his undershirt's sleeves were shorten, the back of his pants had a hole for his tail to stick out, his boots were the exact same as his dad's, and instead of bands, he has dark blue fingerless gloves with 'Goku's family' kanji's symbol on the back of both gloves.

"Hey dad. How does this look?" shouted Goten.

"It looks great on you." Replied Goku.

Goten ran over to his dad and gave him a hug for the gift. Goten went back to the table and opened the rest of the gift and most of them were toys that he doesn't have and the rest were gift cards that allowed him to go and eat at any restaurant's he wants.

Goten finished opening his gifts and went back to playing in the inflatable house while his father put all the gifts into a capsule that Bulma gave him.

It's night time and it's time to go back home for Goku and Goten. Goku walked over to Goten, who was sleeping at a table. Goku picked him up and called for nimbus and headed home.

Both father and son got home and Goku went to put Goten to bed in his room. Goku took off Goten's boots, tucked him in, and gave him a goodnight kiss on the forehead.

"Goodnight little man. Hope you had a great birthday." Said Goku as he left the room.

Sweet moment for Goten.

Now next chapter, I will start the Majin Buu arc. Still having a hard time starting it out, but I will figure that out as soon as possible.
