Orange Star High School gymnasium was hosting the annual school ball a week before school was due out. Trunks Briefs, a lavender haired boy in a smart black tux, was at a table watching people dance with his best friend, Goten Son.

"Let's put on a show for them," Trunks said as he winked at Goten. He grabbed Goten's hand, pulling him towards the dance floor. Goten frowned in confusion whilst being dragged by a smiling Trunks.

"What the hell? Trunks, I am not dancing with you!" Goten supplied, while making an attempt to get away but was pulled back.

"Come on Goten, a dare is a dare, or don't you remember?" Trunks smirked.

Goten looked nervous. "No way. I was joking, Trunks. Anyway everyone is staring."

Trunks shrugged, "C'mon Goten, it's one dance and you know full well we are the best male dancers in the room…I will let you lead, Chi-bi."

"...Awww, let's get this over with Trunks. Next time we make dares while sparring, remind me to keep my mouth shut." Goten sighed and wrapped an arm around Trunks' waist.

"Haha, I knew you wouldn't say no."

Trunks and Goten started to notice that while they were dancing the girls at the tables were pointing, clapping, and cheering them on.

"You know, Trunks, we are never going to live this down!"

"Chibi, you worry too much, it will be forgotten by Thursday."

"Huh? Why Thursday, Trunks?" Goten twirled Trunks round until he faced him again.

"Well, Goten, you have to do your part in the dare."

"No way, Trunks! I am not dressing in drag! I will be thrown out of class again," Goten protested.

"Well, Goten, at least this time it won't be for sleeping." Trunks looked at him with an evil grin.

"What if they ring my Mom?" Goten's eyes were wide with the thought.

"Relax, Goten, they won't."

"I was joking about the dare, Trunks. Let's forget it, huh?"

"No, Goten, because you promised I could do your make-up." Trunks faked a pout.

Goten was going to answer when he was interrupted by Jason Simmons, Orange Star's best athlete, and his girlfriend, Tessa.

"You guys make the cutest couple on the floor," Jason said, making his voice sound as feminine as possible.

"Oh, don't worry Jas, I am dancing with you next." Trunks waited for his reaction.

"Shut up, faggot Briefs." Jason replied, then took his partner away. Goten pulled away from Trunks after hearing that comment.

"I need to get something to drink, Trunks." Goten's tone was cold. Trunks watched in confusion as the dark-haired demi-saiyan left the dance floor and decided to follow him to the drinks.

"Goten, are you angry at me?" Trunks gave his best friend a worried glance from across the table.

"No, Trunks, I am just getting tired. I might head home." Goten set his drink down, getting up from the table they were sitting at.

"Don't you want to stay and find out who is prom King and Queen of the night?"

"Its practically the same every year, Trunks. I bet its Lucy Rider and Taylor Jacobs, the most popular kids in school"

"I could give you a lift home."

"I'm gonna fly Trunks, you stay and enjoy the function," Goten replied, brushing him off.

"What about the after party? Jerry says it's at Taylor Jacob's place. Everyone is going to be there!" Trunks said, hoping Goten would change his mind and stay.

"Nah, I can't. I promised Mom I would be home at a decent hour. I better go, Trunks. See you Monday, okay?"

"Yeah… Okay. Bye, Goten."

Heading for the exit, Goten waved back to Trunks. Trunks sat back at the table and watched Goten leave, knowing there was something wrong with his friend. His thoughts were broken by snickers behind him; turning around he saw Jason and his gang of four watching him.

"Aww, poor cupcake, your boyfriend left you… Hey, don't cry, cupcake, we will find another boyfriend for you. There are still plenty of nerds dancing out there by themselves," mocked Jason, making his friends laugh. That was the limit. Trunks got up and slugged Jason in the stomach, making him fall to the floor to his knees. Mild standards for Trunks. Adjusting his tux, Trunks addressed the group with an angry frown.

"Anyone else want to insult cupcake?"

Jason's gang backed off, leaving two of them to help Jason up.Trunks turned and walked outside of the school gym, grabbing his jacket on the way and not really listening to Jason's threats as he went out. He knew his temper had gotten the better of him tonight. It wasn't the fact that he was made fun of. It was the fact something was wrong with Goten and he wasn't talking to him about it. Walking up to his shiny black limo, he told the chauffeur he could go home. The chauffeur handed Trunks a grey shoulder bag from the front seat. Watching the limo speed away, the lavender-haired demi-saiyan put on his favorite CC jacket and bag. He could understand why Goten loved flying at night, there was a slight misty look in the sky and the stars were shining, giving a great effect. Rather than going straight home, he decided he would drop by Goten's place to see if he was okay.
