"Now I see the change, Leaving us it seems so strange
I am hoping I can find, Where to leave my hurt behind
All the shit I seem to take, All alone I seem to break
I am living the best I can, Does this make me not a man"

Chapter V
The Letter, and Old Friends
(Trunks POV)
I was so angry. I was glad that he left. I didn't want to see him ever again. He tried to kill me, and there's no telling how many other people have done the same. He should have never come back. People like him deserve to die. I miss Goten, but not this one. He's not the Goten I used to know. That Goten is dead. I remember just flying out of the house after Gohan left. Gohan. How can he just forgive someone so easily? And Goku for that matter. When I saw him I wanted to hurt him. Put him through the hell that I've been through. When I charged him, I was gonna kill him. When he was on the ground and I was on top of him with my hands around his neck, I was gonna clench my hands together until I felt his life slip away.
I flew for hours straight till I came upon a snow cover cliff, with a tree on the edge. I sat in the tree and just looked of the small gorge. There were so many things going through my head right now. I sat and thought about things for a while, and after not coming to a better conclusion I just went home.
I had returned home and went up to my room. I found an envelope on my bed addressed to me. I saw that it was from Goten. I almost threw it away but something that I can't really explain stopped me from doing it. I opened the envelope and began reading it:
Dear Trunks,
If your reading this then up apparently I had to leave. I had really much really tell this to you face to face, but circumstances are preventing. I that what I've done can never be forgiven. All I can do is try to make up for it. ………Trunks I missed you. I missed your companionship, I missed our talks, I missed when we used to train together, and I missed having a best friend. There was Ry, but he only brought me down, besides he's dead anyway. Not by my own my hand though. But I don't want to get into that right now.
Anyway back to my point, sometimes I get off track. I'm not like the little old Goten in the old days, nor am I the bloodthirsty killer I was not to long ago. I'm just me. Though you may laugh in my face, or scoff at me and blow this off, but at least I'm trying. But If you'll accept it, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for al the pain I've caused you. I'm sorry that I hurt you, physically, and emotionally. But you had hurt me by cutting our ties, and I just lost control. But that isn't an excuse. I refuse to use that as an excuse.
It's cool and okay with me if you want me to stay out of your life. I understand. Well till we talk again, if we talk again.
Sincerely
Son Goten
Trunks stood in his room at a loss for words or even a thought. He couldn't explain it. It was true he missed his friend, but ye t he couldn't help but remember that his former best friend tried to kill him. 'But if he wanted to kill me he would have. Damn you Goten! ' Trunks thought.
He needed to think, he could stay in that house. He flew off to a place he knew well.
~!~!~!~!~
I sat under a tree on mine and Trunks' old training ground. I wonder what he did with the letter? I wonder if he chucked it and not thought twice about it. But Trunks also has that curiosity of his that he got from his mother. I really hope he did read it.
~!~!~!~!~
I landed at the only place where I could go to think about something like this. I went to our old training ground. I landed by an old stump on the edge of a steep hill. I know this stump. This is the one that Goten, along time ago, tripped over, fell down the hill, and ripped his pants clean off. I can't help but smile at this thought. I remember falling on my ass laughing when he emerged for the small valley and didn't realize why it was so draft down below. I have never seen anyone turn that shade of red before. He made me go get some more for him because he was to embarrassed to leave the woods. From then on I always carried and extra pair of clothes in a capsule just incase. I miss those days.
I continue walking around, noting every land mark that reminded me of our good old days. Like the time I pushed him in the lake and brought me with him. I chuckle out loud at that.
"Whose there!?" a familiar voice called
~!~!~!~!~
I though I had heard someone walking around, but then I heard a laugh and called out.
"Whose there!?" I called out
~!~!~!~!~
I think for a minute and decide whether I want to call back or not.
" Whose there?" I called back knowing full well that it's Goten
~!~!~!~!~
"I'm a broken spirit that has wronged many people and is try to make amends." I call back reciting a line for one of the many poems I've written.
"I know it you Goten" Trunks answered. I knew it was him too.
"What are you doing here, Trunks? Come to take my worthless life? If so go right ahead." I say
Trunks stepped in to the moonlight. He glared at me hard, then slapped me across the face. My head jerked fro the blow.
"You have some nerve" he started with a glare that would rival Vegita's "first you almost kill me run off for six years, and now you come back trying to make things better. You give me a letter then expect me to kill you!? Your such a fucking IDIOT!" I flinched as he yelled the end. "But it's nice to have you back chibi" he said as his face softened.
I look up in disbelief……
"Follow me." he stated
I did so.
We walked till we came upon the lake. We both stood on the edge and just looked out.
"Hey Goten"
"Yeah"
"Remember that time I pushed you in the lake?"
"Yeah wh…. Oh shit" I said as he pushed me in the lake. I heard him just laughing his ass off, but I had my one Idea. I jumped up grabbed Trunks in a bear hug and took him in with me.
"Hey I'm your prince. You shouldn't treat me that way" he said with a mock pout.
"Well" I started with a glint of mischief in my eye and a smirk on my lips " the price can kiss my ass" I said as I started to laugh. It felt to good to actually laugh again. I was very happy, the happiest I've been in a long time. But my fit of laughter was soon cut short my a wave of cold lake water splashing in my face followed by a snicker.
"Such behavior for a prince!" I say jokingly and splash him back. Our Tirade eventually ended with us both laying on the beside the lake just looking up in silence. We spent the whole night there and even watched the sun come up like we used to do.
