One week had passed and it was time for another reunion at Capsule Corp. Neo went on his own this time since Piccolo, Dende and Mr. Popo weren't interested in going.

Trunks and Goten immediately greeted him when he landed.

"Hey Neo," said Trunks. "How's your training coming along?"

Neo smiled down at the little boy. "I'm making progress, though it will still take a while. I should be ready by the time Glorft get's here."

'Hey Neo, Gohan says you seem familiar to him. Did you know him some how?"

Neo shook his head. "No Goten, I didn't know him. I guess its because I'm a saiyan like he is. Its probably just a feeling."

"Oh, okay."

Neo walked past Trunks and Goten to join the older people inside.

"That guy's really cool," said Goten.

"Yeah," replied Trunks, "but do you notice that he actually does look like Gohan?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah, he does look kinda like him…except his eyes and hair looks closer to Eighteen's."

Trunks smirked. "Yeah. He did say his time was in the future. Maybe Gohan and Eighteen will…" Trunks made a kissing face.

Goten shook his head. "No way Trunks! Eighteen is already married to Krillin. Gohan would never do that."

"But maybe she isn't with Krillin in the other timeline. Who knows?"

"I still don't like that," said Goten.

"Hey guys," Marron came running up to them from inside. "Whatcha doin?"

"We were talking about Neo," said Trunks. "Goten says he looks like your mom."

Marron giggled. "Silly, mommy's a girl. A boy can't look like a girl."

Trunks sighed. Marron was five years younger than him and wasn't able to interpret everything they said. They would have to dumb down a little for her.

"He means that he has the same eyes and the same hairstyle."

"Oh, mommy says he looks that way too. She thinks she might be related, but daddy doesn't like it when she thinks that."

"I see," said Trunks with a smirk. "Maybe your dad's jealous."

Marron scratched her head, trying to remember what jealous meant.

Trunks and Goten sighed. This would be a long conversation.

When Gohan saw Neo coming he smiled. "Hey Videl, I'm going to talk to Neo for a it okay?"

"Sure Gohan, just make sure you come back to me."

Gohan nodded, then went to find Neo. He found him in a private hallway, just exiting the bathroom.

"Hey Neo, are you enjoying the party?"

"Yes, I am. These are the first real parties I've been to. There was never a party like this in my time."

"Could you tell me more about your time? I'm curious as to how it differs from this one."

Neo had mixed feelings. On the one hand, he wanted to tell his father the truth, but he also didn't want to disrupt is relationship with Videl or disrupt his mother's marriage to Krillin.

"Well, the timeline differs at the time when Frieza comes to earth. You do remember the Trunks who traveled through time right?"

"Yes, so your timeline basically plays out the same way as his for a while?"

"Yes, but the main difference occurs thirteen years into the android's reign."

"That's about the time that I would be killed by them."

"Yes, but you're not. Instead, the androids mysteriously disappear. Now I know that Glorft was responsible for that. He brought them out of power so the earth could recover enough for him to have fun with it. I'm sure I've already told you how he operates."

"Yeah…so when does Glorft really come into the picture?"

"He comes back a year later…I'm just a few months old at that time. He then kills ff you, and Trunks. Bulma survives and completes her time machine in the hopes of having Goku destroy Glorft as well, but then Goku comes back to Earth to fight Glorft. Apparently, King Yemma made an exception out of him due to the magnitude of a threat."

"And Bulma's ideas are crushed when Glorft defeats my dad…" Gohan's monotone revealed disbelief. His father had lost…how powerful could this monster really be?

Neo nodded. "Yes, but I eventually surpass the Goku of my timeline, though I'm nowhere near Glorft's level. I then discover the Oozaru as a ray of hope, which leads to my time travel here."

"I see…so...you must be at least half saiyan, and if you were born at a time when Trunks and I were the last beings with saiyan blood, then one of us must be your father."

Neo was glad that they were in a private area, where nobody was listening in. Unfortunately, Bulma had heard Gohan's statement when she walked out of the bathroom.

Normally, Bulma would be against eavesdropping, but curiosity got the better of her and she hid behind a wall t listen in.

Neo looked away, unable to meet his father's gaze. "Yes…I guess I can tell you if you don't tell anyone else." Neo looked up at Gohan.

As he examined Neo's features, Gohan realized the truth. "You're my son." He thought only he and Neo could hear it, but Bulma heard it too.

Neo nodded. "I am, but I had my reasons for keeping my identity secret. I will never be born in this timeline and I didn't want to disrupt your relationship with Videl…that's why I can't indentify my mother for you."

Gohan nodded in understanding. "I get it. Future Trunks did the same thing, only he was able to reveal his identity after his parents had gotten together…I do want you to know that I'm very proud of you…son."

Neo felt a few tears slide down his cheeks. He had wanted to here his real father say that for the past Eighteen years of his life. Even though the other Gohan had recognized him as well, he was just a child. This Gohan was an adult and had the true presence of a father.

"Thanks dad." Neo wiped away his tears. "I think we should keep my identity a secret from everyone else. It's best if you act as if you never found this out."

"That's fine Neo." Gohan patted Neo on the shoulder, and the two of them went back into the party to join everyone else.

Bulma came out of her hiding place when the coast was clear. She finally knew who that boy was, but se couldn't tell anyone. She didn't want to disrupt Gohan's relationship with Videl, though that small bit of knowledge made her hunger for more. Whether or not she revealed her findings, she had to know who the mother was.

I decided to have Gohan figure it out, like he did in the other timeline, though I'm going to have a major time skip in the chapter after the next chapter.
