It had been a few days since Trunks' sister went with her boyfriend Uub to meet his parents in India. Trunks had gone into the lab to see the red button on the keyboard flashing. He smiled, knowing what this meant."

"Mom! Dad! Incoming call from Bulla," he yelled as he heard two pairs of footsteps rush into the room.

Before he pressed the button, Goten appeared out of thin air right in front of Trunks, startling him. "Goten!" he screamed.

Goten laughed nervously as he rubbed his neck. "Sorry Trunks, just testing out the instant transmission technique."

"Well your aim needs work."

"Thanks for the advice so what's everyone doing in the lab?"

Bulma pressed the button on the keyboard as the screen came up to show a smiling Bulla and her boyfriend. Trunks sat down at the keyboard.

"Hi mom, dad, Trunks, and Goten. It's great to see your faces."

"How's India?" asked Goten.

"It's great. His family and the people of this town are so nice. His parents and siblings love me, and I love them."

"Really?" said Trunks as he smirked. "I'm not sure they're seeing the whole you."

"And just what are you trying to say you big jerk?" asked Bulla.

"Bulla, calm down he's just kidding," said Uub.

Bulla smiled. "Well I'm glad you're doing good Trunks. I guess you told your mystery man how you feel."

"Yeah, we're just going to be friends," said Trunks.

"Oh, that's too bad," Bulla frowned, "but I guess it's better to have him in your life then not at all."

"How long were you planning on staying sweetie?" asked Bulma.

"A month, I really want to help out around the village and spend time really getting to know Uub's family."

"Is there something you're not telling us?" asked Vegeta.

"Someday I plan to marry Uub and I thought it was a good idea to meet his family, it was all my idea."

"What!" exclaimed Vegeta.

Before Vegeta could yell, a bunch of excited girls burst into Bulla's room, pushing her and her boyfriend out of the way to see the people on the other side of the screen.

"Oh my god it is true, it's Trunks Briefs!" said one girl.

"He's so hot in person," said another as she giggled.

"Trunks, marry me!" professed another girl.

While this was happening, Trunks was flabbergasted and Goten was frowning at all the attention his friend was getting. Bulma noticed Goten's behavior and wondered something. "Hey Trunks," said Bulma.

"Yeah mom," said Trunks as he turned around in the chair to face her.

"Is Goten your mystery guy?"

Goten blushed as he looked at the floor and then to Trunks who was looking at him. "Yes," he said as his mother smiled.

"Wait a minute!" exclaimed Bulla as she pushed Trunks' fan girls aside. "Trunks is in love with Goten?"

Goten felt nervous, as he looked up at the screen to see a bunch of disappointed girls, some who were crying and some were angry. He felt sorry for them. They would never get to be with Trunks, and Trunks would never let them close enough to know him anyway.

'Why me? What's so special about me?' he wondered. He came out of his thoughts to see one of the girls had mentioned him.

"You can't make him happy like I can," said one of the women.

"If I can't, what makes you think you can?" Goten asked.

"Good question Goten!" exclaimed Bulma.

"A woman knows what a man wants. Two men together is an abomination. I could be a good, supportive, wife, and a good mother. What can you possibly give him?"

When the woman said abomination, Trunks' eyes widened. It reminded him of all the time he spent with his psychiatrist. 'I—I'm so sick of feeling guilty and ashamed for my feelings,' he said, feeling all this rage fill him. 'I'm so sick of being scared!'

"More than you ever could!" Trunks screamed at the woman.

"Bulla, we'll talk to you some other time," said Vegeta.

"I understand dad," said Bulla. "I love you all, bye," she waved before the screen went dark.

"Tr—Trunks sweetie you need to calm down," said Bulma as she walked up to him, "you're a super saiyan," she said, lying a hand on his shoulder.

"I got carried away," Trunks said as his hair turned back to lavender, "didn't I?"

"When you're fighting for someone you love, it happens," she smiled.

Vegeta looked from his family to Goten, who he couldn't quiet read.

"Goten."

"Huh, oh hey Vegeta," said Goten.

"Clearly my son cares a great deal about you. It shouldn't have surprised me."

"I've been the root of his pain for a long time. How can I deal with that?"

"Do you love him Goten?"

Goten's eyes widened in surprise at Vegeta straightforwardness. "I—I—He felt Vegeta's strong hand on his shoulder.

"It's all right Goten."

Goten smiled at Vegeta. "Who knew you were a good guy to talk?"

"Don't tell anyone," Vegeta smirked.

"What are you two talking about?" asked Bulma.

"Well I should get home. I have an early day tomorrow at the restaurant," said Goten, as he was about to leave the lab.

"Goten," said Trunks as the raven-haired man stopped in his track and turned around to face his best friend.

"Yes Trunks."

"We should hangout again some time."

"Sure," Goten smiled, "when?"

"I'll call you ok."

"Sounds good Trunks, I'll see you later. Bye Bulma, Vegeta," he said as he walked out of the lab.
