p class="MsoNormal""What's up Trunks?" Goten asked his friend./p
p class="MsoNormal"All the Z Fighters, their friends, family, the Androids, and even Lord Beerus and Whis were gathered at Capsule Corp celebrating. It was turning into an all-day event, it had started with the story of how the 7supth/sup Universe won the Tournament of Power, followed by their wish and the Omni-King's test. For those who hadn't witnessed the Tournament from the Null realm, it was hard to imagine so much had happened in such a short period of time. The story of each individual battle was described in great detail, emphasizing the resiliency of the warriors as they continued to break through their own barriers and achieve greater power. As the talk continued and Goku's mastery of Ultra Instinct was revealed, young Trunks' expression started to resemble the scowl often worn by his father. Eventually the story telling died down and most turned their attention to food. Except for Trunks, who made his way to the backside of one of the large Capsule Corp domes./p
p class="MsoNormal"This is where Goten found trunks, leaning back against the dome, arms crossed, wearing a scowl./p
p class="MsoNormal""What do you want Goten?" Trunks responded, making no attempt to hide his annoyance./p
p class="MsoNormal"Goten was slightly taken back by his friend's attitude, but continued "What are you doing back here? Your mom has tons of food at the party."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Leave me alone Goten."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Goten's disposition finally changed, to a more series look. "Trunks?" he questioned./p
p class="MsoNormal"Trunks let out a sigh, as he finally looked at Goten, "They went off to fight for the survival of our Universe and we were sent to guard a bunch of stupid animals."/p
p class="MsoNormal""I liked the animals" Goten responded, unsure why Trunks was upset./p
p class="MsoNormal""They don't respect us Goten. They brought Krillin, Old Man Roshi, and Tien over us, we could each whip each of them on our own, let alone fused!" Goten looked the ground as his hands clenched into fists./p
p class="MsoNormal""When was the last time they asked to help? The fight against Majin Buu?" Trunks asked Goten./p
p class="MsoNormal"Goten's express changed to one of bewilderment and his head slightly tilted, "But Trunks that didn't work out so well, we were absorbed and the Earth was blown up."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Trunks let out a slight growl as he continued "Goten that's not the point! They didn't want our help, not in the Tournament against the 6supth/sup Universe, not fighting Goku Black, and not now. They treat us like kids" Trunks voice had grown from angry to sad as he finished his style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal""But we are kids" Goten nervously said as he looked down and dug the toe of his shoe into the ground./p
p class="MsoNormal""Think about what our dads and Gohan were doing at our age" Trunks retorted "My dad was traveling from planet to planet, your dad was training fighting saving the Earth, and before Gohan became a dweeb he was fighting Freeza and Cell!" The passion in Trunks' voice was building and he bent his elbows bringing his hands up and forming fists./p
p class="MsoNormal"Goten was staring at Trunks, he was excited and had an intense smile on his face, "So what do we do?" Goten asked/p
p class="MsoNormal""We get strong!" Trunks declared smiling at Goten./p
p class="MsoNormal"After a moment Goten met his friend's intensity, "Let's do it"/p
p class="MsoNormal"On the other side of the dome Piccolo smiled. He too had needed a break from the party and had retreated behind the dome, where he happened to hear the small half-Saiyans conversation./p
