Marron heard from the secretary that Hercule was at the Son residence, so she drove in the direction of the mountain area. When she came upon the house, she noticed Goten playing with his niece Pan. She smiled. "Hey you guys long time no see. How's it going?"

"Hey Marron, well nothing really new has happened to me, but Uncle Goten has had some things happen to him."

"Oh like what?"

"Nothing important Marron. Pan just doesn't know when to mind her own business."

Pan stuck out her tongue. Marron turned to Goten. "So I'm getting married."

"Wow! Really congratulations, to who may I ask is the lucky guy?"

"Trunks. I've been planning the wedding for a while, and we're getting married in a month."

Goten was shocked while Pan went to congratulate Marron with a hug. It was weird. He thought he would be happy for them, but he hadn't seen Trunks since his father left them. He didn't think he would feel pure, white, rage and what is this other emotion. Jealousy? No it couldn't be. That would be weird, but he had lost his father, his girlfriend, and now Trunks. He didn't know how much more he could take. His best friend was getting married. It was just very unsettling to him.

"And you're all invited, but I need to ask Hercule if we can have the wedding at his mansion. It's so nice."

"I'm sure he would be happy to. He likes weddings. He's inside my house with my mom."

"Ok thanks Pan I appreciate it." She rushed over to the house as Pan turn to her uncle as a Super Saiyan, which surprised her.

"Uncle Goten." She took his hand in her, and he returned to his normal form. "What's wrong?" He turned to her with a frown.

"I have to go now and just tell mom I went to talk to an old friend." He let go of her hand and used instant transmission to locate Trunks's whereabouts.

Trunks was in the middle of a board meeting. He was listening to one of his colleague's idea about updating Orange Star High School, and he was about to tell him that it was a good idea when a figure appeared out of thin air before him and his team. He was surprised to see his best friend here with a look on his face that he had never seen. He shivered inwardly and stood.

"What is the meaning of this young man? You can't just interrupt this meeting," said one of the men.

Goten ignored the man's question and looked directly at Trunks who turned from him to his team. "We'll continue this meeting later so everyone get back to work."

"Mr. Briefs, are you sure? I could get someone to throw him out."

"That won't be necessary Jin."

Trunks closed the door behind his last employee and turned back to the face of his angry friend. He sat down in one of the chairs and waited for Goten to say something, but he didn't. "Goten."

"You're getting married, and you didn't even tell me. It's not so hard to contact me you know. A phone call, that's all it takes, but you're probably too busy planning your wedding to notice anything else."

"I'm not even involved in the planning of the wedding. I've been busy running a company, but I'm sorry I didn't tell you Goten it must have slipped my mind."

Goten looked at him in disbelief and shook his head. "It wouldn't slip your mind if you really loved her because if you did, then you would be excited."

"Goten, you know I'm not the most emotional person in the world."

"Yeah but you think if you loved her, then that would change. You would start to open up you know."

"You're really starting to annoy me with this so what's been up with you lately?"

Goten wasn't surprised Trunks changed the subject of their conversation. He would do it every time he got uncomfortable. Goten decided to indulge him. "Well high school's the same, and I'm single now."

"What happened with Valese?"

"I caught her in bed with another guy. I learned later that she had been sleeping around behind my back during our relationship."

"I don't understand if she was sleeping with you, then why did she sleep around? Unless, you've never slept with her, and she was tired of waiting for you to come around."

"Trunks, I-. A blush came on his face as he faced the floor. He took a deep breath and turned to him. "I'm a virgin."

Trunks didn't know how to respond to his best friend's confession. He swiveled in his leather chair and turned back to face his embarrassed friend. He looked worried, and he decided to put it to rest. "Goten, there's nothing to be ashamed of. It's your choice. I mean I admire you for even holding out this long. I don't have that kind of self-control."

"Thanks Trunks it means a lot to me."

"So, why did you decide to be a virgin?"

"Well I might sound like a girl, but I'm waiting for the person I'm going to spend the rest of my life with."

"You know that sounds right. That's usually rare, but there are people like you who want that to. If I have to be honesty Goten you're decision is sexy. It makes you more attractive to potential mates."

Goten's face went red as he tried to hide it from Trunks. "S-so, do you plan to mate the saiyan way with Marron?"

"Well honestly I don't think she could handle it."

"Why not? Your mom was able to."

"My mother is a much stronger woman than Marron. My father told me so, but that's just something I really didn't want to imagine."

"What makes you think I want to imagine it Trunks?"

"Sorry chibi. Forgive me."

Something about the affectionate term made him feel warm inside. He looked right into Trunks's eyes and realized something. There was emotion in them. "Oh no." He realized in his mind. "I have a crush on my best friend. Damn it, this is not happening right now. I have to get out of here." Goten looked at the door. "Well I guess you have to get back to work, so I'll just see you when I see you."

As Goten was about to leave, he felt a hand on his shoulder and the breath of Trunks in his ear. "Hold on a minute." He buzzed his secretary to call in one of his employees. The man entered and looked at his boss. "Yes Mr. Briefs."

"You were just about to tell me about the plans you had to improve Orange Star High."

"Well yes and I believe it would benefit the students of the school as well as the professors for learning."

"Very good Jin. We'll discuss it more in depth latter." Jin left the room but stood by the crack of the door.

"You're working on the school."

"Yeah it's a good idea isn't it? I think it's very beneficial and plus we'll see more of each other. I after all have to oversee the whole project."

Goten smiled. "You always think of everything, don't you?"

"They don't call me a genius for nothing."

"Who calls you a genius?"

He laughed. "I've missed you chibi."

"I missed you to Trunks."

Jin looked in to see his boss hugging the raven-haired boy. He was surprised at how comfortable Mr. Briefs was with the boy. He turned and walked down the hall. Didn't Mr. Briefs have a fiancé? He looked awfully close to the boy he was hugging. He decided to talk with one of his co-workers to figure out what was going on.
