A/N: This is my first fanfic so enjoy it. I'm gonna explain the plot in this story...
It has been 7 years since the Cell games and 6 years since Chi Chi's death. Gohan is now raising Goten and he feels empty. Goten already knows Goku is his dad but he really thinks it's Gohan. So in order to make his brother happy again, they travel to the past 9 days before the Cell games. Can Goten keep his identity a secret? Will he make his brother happy? (Goten has the same power up as Gohan. When Goten gets mad he powers up)
Seven years has past since the Cell games, Gohan would never forget that day. He remembers when Goku gave up and chose Gohan to fight Cell. 'What kind of a father chooses his son to fight a monster like Cell. He could've gotten me killed!' Thought Gohan. He also remembered when he got really angry and ascended to super sayian 2. He soon destroyed the cell jrs., those little pests hurt his friends. 'Goten has the same problem as me,' Gohan thought to himself 'Whenever he gets angry he becomes powerful.' Gohan chuckled when he remembered when he got Goten really pissed off. Gohan told him he was weak and he wouldn't save the universe. Gohan knew this was risky but he wanted to find out what will happen if Goten got mad. Gohan was stunned when his brother powered up. Goten went super sayian then almost ascended!
Anyway, After he destroyed the cell jrs, Gohan fought cell himself and he defeated him. Cell had enough and almost self destructed himself and blew up the earth! That's when Goku showed up and sacrificed himself to save the earth. 'That may have been heroic, but to me you're still a dead beat.' Cell regenerated and became more perfect. Gohan destroyed Cell for good and saved the earth. When Gohan was about to wish his dad back to life, Goku said that the earth will be a lot safer if he wasn't there. That's when Gohan started to hate his father. 'Damn you father! I can't believe you chose training over us!' Gohan yelled in his head. He didn't know his own strength, so he broke his coffee mug in pieces. FLASHBACK: One year later, Gohan's worst nightmare was about to come true. Gohan was playing with Goten upstairs when he heard pots and pans falling. Gohan soon rushed to the kitchen where his mother was.
"Da-Da?" asked one year old Goten. He didn't get a reply from Gohan. Gohan ran over to his mother where she lay motionless on the floor.
"Mom what happened?!" asked a really scared Gohan. Chi Chi opened her eyes a little and said "Gohan... Mommy loves you... please take good care of Goten." said a very weak Chi Chi. He soon called Bulma and told her to come here right away. Bulma came as quick as possible and went over to Chi Chi. Gohan was looking away with tears in his eyes while holding a sleeping Goten. Bulma did the best she could, but failed. Chi Chi was dead.
"Gohan..." said a very sad Bulma "I'm sorry... she's gone." Gohan couldn't believe his ears. His mother, his only parent left, was dead. He ran up to his room and cried his eyes out. Bulma put Goten to his room and walked to where Gohan was. "Gohan I'm sorry." said Bulma "I did the best I could."
"I know." said Gohan wiping his tears away.
"Where do you plan on staying?" asked Bulma putting a hand behind Gohan's back. Gohan didn't need to think and said "I'm staying here." Gohan explained why Goten needed to stay where he was born and raised. Bulma understood
"You know if Goten gets lonely, he can play with Trunks." said Bulma. Gohan agreed.
Back to the present
Gohan could feel a tear drop fall from his cheek. He will never forget that day. Elsewhere, Goten has been watching Gohan.
"I'm sorry daddy, I know I'm the only one you have left..." whispered Goten (A/N: I made Goten less naïve) "But I promise you, I will make you happy again." Goten thought of a way to make Gohan happy. He thought of something. He ran over to Gohan and gave him a big hug.
"Thanks, squirt." said Gohan smiling a little. Goten wanted Gohan to smile big and laugh. So, Goten kinda failed. He soon tried everything, tickling him, cleaning his room, and even washing the dishes but he still failed. Gohan wanted to know why Goten was being helpful and Goten told him why. Gohan smiled and said "Goten, as long as I have you, I'm always happy." Gohan gave Goten a big hug and walked away. Goten knew he was happy but that wasn't enough.
"Dang it, I've tried everything and he's not really happy!" said Goten putting his index finger to his temple "Let's see...The only person he had left was mom, he doesn't care about dad anymore." He soon thought of something... but it was really risky "That's it! Me and Gohan will travel to the past and he can become happy again!" He soon got excited imagining himself and a young Gohan playing together. But he found 2 problems "But how am I gonna get the time machine from Bulma?" then he looked at himself in a mirror "And what about my hair? I don't want people to think I looke like Goku." He shrugged it off and asked Gohan if he can go to Capsule Corp.
"Sure thing squirt, I'll come with you." replied Gohan hoping on nimbus. After a little while, they landed at CC (Capsule Corp.) and rang the door bell. What surprised them is that Vegeta answered.
"You brat of kakarot." said Vegeta pointing at Gohan "I want a spar NOW!" Gohan smirked and said "I'll be right back Goten." He soon followed Vegeta and went into the gravity room. Goten let himself in and shouted "Bulma! I need to talk to you!" After 2 minutes, a blue haired lady walked in and said "Hello Goten, what brings you here?"
"I need to talk to you about Gohan. Can you get Trunks too?" Bulma nodded and called for Trunks. He came down the steps and said "Hey Goten!"
"Now, what did you want to talk about?" Goten explained to them how Gohan wasn't all that happy. And how Goten wanted to go to the past and help Gohan. Bulma and Trunks looked at each other then at Goten. Then Trunks asked Goten "Are you sure? I mean that's nice, but that's kinda risky?"
"Yeah Goten, that's nice but it's too risky." said Bulma. Goten wanted to shout at them for not helping Gohan but he held it in.
"But you, guys think of Gohan. When was it the last time you seen him laugh?" Trunks and Bulma thought for a moment and didn't say anything. "See, that's why I need to help him." Trunks understood and said "Goten's right mom, we need to get the old Gohan back." Bulma thought for a moment and said "Yeah, I guess you're right."
They thought of a plan on how they get Gohan into the time machine. Trunks suggested that they knock him out and put him in there. Bulma and Goten quickly said no. Bulma suggested that she'll ask Gohan to help her with the machine while Goten hides in there. And when Gohan goes in, Goten sets the destination and take them there. Goten said that wasn't a bad idea.
"My idea was better." said Trunks pouting. Goten chuckled and looked up at his hair.
"Oh, my hair. Bulma?" asked Goten
"Yes?" asked Bulma looking at Goten
"Can you cut my hair to look like Gohan's when he was fighting Cell?" Bulma looked at him shocked. Why would he want to cut his hair? It looks just like Goku's.
"Why? It looks like Goku's. You should be proud to have the same hair as your fathers." said Bulma
"But I don't look like my dad. I don't have Gohan's hair." replied Goten. Bulma looked Shocked 'Goten thinks Gohan's his father?' Bulma went through memory lane and seen how Gohan took care of Goten and raised him. She couldn't help but smile.
"Come on kid, lets go cut that hair." replied Bulma.
One haircut later
"Thanks Bulma I owe you." said Goten looking at himself in the mirror and grinning.
"Wow Goten, I barely recognized you!" said Trunks looking at is friend. They all chuckled until they heard Gohan.
"Squirt i'm back!" Bulma ran to where she kert her time machine and Goten followed, Trunks just sat on the couch. "Hey Trunks? Have you seen Goten?" Trunks shrugged.
"Hey Gohan can you help me with something?" asked Bulma
"Sure!" replied Gohan walking to where the voice came from. He soon found Bulma in front of the time machine.
"Do you mind hopping inside and I'll tell you the rest?" asked Bulma. Gohan looked at her suspiciously and hopped in. "Alright on the right you will see a NOW GOTEN!" shouted Bulma.
"WAIT...WAH!" cried Gohan. Goten came out of nowhere and pressed a button and then they vanished.
"Trunks! Goten did it!" cried a happy Bulma.
PAST
"Goku I want you outta here! As for you Gohan, you're gonna stay here and help me clean!" screamed Chi Chi. Cups and plates were broken everywhere including a table. It was a messy scene.
"Sorry Chi Chi." said Goku walking out of the house with Krillin.
"Gee, some mess you made back there." said Krillin chuckling.
"Hey why don't we go fish?" Goku asked and Krillin agreed "Okay, let me go get Gohan." Goku flew home while Krillin was looking for a lake. While flying, Goku saw a flash of yellow light and decided to go see where it came from.
With Gohan and Goten
The time machine came to a complete stop and landed softly on the ground. When Gohan & Goten stepped out from it, it soon fell apart.
"GOTEN! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Shouted Gohan at his 'son'. Goten stepped back and said "I'm sorry dad, I just wanted you to be happy again so..." Goten told everything. Gohan was silent then he smiled.
"Oh Goten, I told you, I will always and forever be happy when i'm with you." said Gohan. Goten smiled back at him.
"Umm...Hello?" asked someone from behind them. Gohan & Goten turned around and Gohan was shocked. There he was the man who ruined his family, in his supper sayian form, standing 2 yards away. Gohan wanted to scream in anger and hit him. But he held it in. "Hi ,I'm Goku. Who are you?" Gohan stood silently looking at the man. Then Goku noticed Goten and said "Hey, you look like my son Gohan!" Goten was finally happy that he finally get to look like Gohan.
"Hi, I'm Goten and this is my dad. His name is..."
