Gohan was in his room with Goten. They were both holding the door shut because Chi-Chi was on the other side. When Gohan told her about what happened between his little brother and Trunks, she dropped to her knees and began to cry. Goten hugged her and asked what was wrong. Chi-Chi stood up and had a livid expression on her face. Goten ran into Gohan's room and they started holding the door shut.
"GOTEN, YOU COME OUT HERE THIS INSTANT!" she yelled as she pounded on the door, each thump getting progressively louder. Gohan looked at his brother with concern.
"Goten, you have to face the consequences," he said, pushing against the door so that it would not open. Goten's eyes were dripping with tears. Gohan felt awful about what he'd done. Tears began to stream down his cheeks as well. Goten gave up holding the door and curled up on the floor.
"Let her in, I can't take it!" he sobbed. Gohan nodded and opened the door, getting punched in the face by Chi-Chi as she was knocking. It didn't faze him though. She looked down and saw Goten crying on the floor. Gohan had a worried look on his face. Chi-Chi had to punish him, but he was crying. She felt as if this would make her seem mean. She sat down beside Goten.
"Goten, sweetie, settle down. It's gonna be okay. I've calmed down now," Chi-Chi whispered to him. Goten wiped the tears from his eyes and faced his mother.
"Goten, I know you're friends with Trunks. But being friends doesn't mean you can do these things," she explained.
"You don't get it! This isn't just a friendship!" Goten shouted as he stood up and walked over to the nearest wall and punched it.
"Goten, calm down!" Chi-Chi gasped.
"No, you calm down! I love Trunks and that's all there is to it!" he yelled. He punched a hole through the wall and flew off. Gohan went after him. Once he finally caught up, he tried to stop Goten.
"Come on, she's not mad!" Gohan said. Goten stopped flying and so did Gohan. Goten faced him and began to blush.
"I guess I did get a little bit carried away," he said.
"I don't blame you, Goten. Mom can cause a lot of stress," Gohan laughed. He put an arm around Goten and smiled.
"You know, I have a way to relieve that stress," he said as he held up two tickets to an amusement park.
"Really?" Goten asked excitedly. Gohan nodded and gave the tickets to his brother.
"And don't tell mom about any of this," he whispered to Goten. Goten flew off to Capsule Corp. to see Trunks. When he landed at the door, he knocked. Nobody answered. He knocked again, but to no avail. Goten opened the door and called out to Trunks. He walked around for a while trying to find someone. Finally, he found Trunks in the bathroom. He was washing his face with a wet rag.
"Are you okay?" Goten asked. Trunks turned around to reveal that his face was bloody and bruised. Vegeta's bloody gloves lay on the floor. Trunks' purple hair was stained red in some spots. Goten gasped and almost fell over in shock.
"What happened?" he asked.
"My dad was lying to himself. He couldn't stand to have a gay son. Mom had to get Goku over here to hold him down. They left me because they thought I was dead. Mom went with Goku and said she'd come back for my body later. She was devastated. Dad really hurt me," Trunks explained, occasionally stopping to cough up some blood. Goten ran over and hugged Trunks.
"Goten, my face is horribly messed up. Don't even pretend like you still love me," he cried, his blood mixing with his tears as they streamed down his face. Goten kept hugging him.
"Trunks, I don't care what you look like. You're still Trunks," Goten said.
"What's so great about being Trunks?" he asked, wiping his face again.
"You mean besides being perfect?" Goten asked. Trunks laughed and returned the hug. Goten held up the amusement park tickets.
"Wanna go ride a roller coaster?" he asked.
