"... and she just doesn't pay any attention to me ..." howled Son Goten.


Trunks had listened carefully to his friend until now ... as always when he had love problems again.


School had just finished and they had stopped on the flight home.


"I don't understand, why doesn't she pay any attention to me? WHY?"


Trunks sighed. It's good that he had other problems than women, it just fell to him, even if he probably hadn't inherited it from Vegeta.


But Son Goten didn't have the best prerequisites for a heartthrob ... well ...


Trunks cleared his throat.


"Well, Son Goten. You're 16 now, and you still can't speak to a girl."


He took a pair of pink sunglasses from his pocket and put them on.


"Now only Mr. Love can help you personally ..."


"Oh come on Trunks, leave that shit! Don't pretend you've gotten everyone around by now!"


"But almost every ..."

"You look like a pimp with those glasses!"


"I won't let you offend me!"


He threw his bag into the bushes.


"Let's fight ... that makes you think differently ..."


Son Goten did the same.


"Yes, you're right ... there's nothing like a good fight ..."


Trunks grinned and they started exchanging blows.


At some point they both sank exhausted into the grass.


"Wow, now I somehow have even less desire to fly home to my grumpy father ..."


"Yes, and I don't feel like hearing my mother's" Where have you been for so long, I was worried "sermon."


"You know what, best of all, we're going somewhere ... do we call it a vacation?"


"Great idea! And what were you thinking of ..."


"The best place to get away from all the goats in our class:


HAWAII, palm trees, beach, women, hot cocktails ... "

Son Goten started to grin ...


"Yeah, we'll do that ... maybe in 10 years when we finish school ..."


"You ole bastard, I just imagined the pina-colada drink so nicely!"


"But it's true ... sometime in the middle of a hot dance, our fathers will probably come dancing, oppressed by our mothers and forced to bring us with them ... and then


there is a lecture that is hotter than any woman in Hawaii ... "


"Yes .. our life is a single dreary gray!"


"No opponents to defend the world against, no joys except a 1 in math, no women ..."


"STOP! Objection of your honor, I have women ... only our little Son Goten not ..."


"You really turn everyone on ..."


"What do you mean? That's not true ... I can hear envy in your voice ..."


"Why should I be jealous?"


"Hey, I've got it! Son Goten, you're gay and that's why you hang out with me all the time ..."

"ARE YOU SPINNING? I DON'T HAVE TO GET THIS OFFERED FROM YOU !!!"


"Man, that was a joke!"


"I don't have fun with that!"


Trunks grinned.


"I just wanted to see how far I can irritate you ..."


"And you were hoping that I would pounce on you and kiss you ..."


"Hey, you're the gay pig here and not me!"


"Yeah .. Trunks I've seen through you for a long time, your gay hair color is already suspect!"


"Better than such a rotten color that you can see every gray hair in old age!"


Then they both burst out laughing.


That was their daily verbal exchange of blows.


Nothing was meant as they said and they both knew it.


At that very moment, they both felt a strong, unknown aura.


"What's this?"


"Oh man, heavy!"


"Yep. Who does it belong to ..."


"That should be found out ..."


They forgot their school bags and headed south ...

"Man o man, that's at least as strong as Gohan ..."


"Yes, but who is as strong here as Son Gohan ... I somehow have a bad feeling about it."


Son Goten nodded imperceptibly.


They didn't know how long they were flying, they had been following the aura for quite a long time and were now in the mountains ...


suddenly the energy had stopped and landed ... Trunks and Son Goten extinguished their aura and landed.


A small mountain lake ...


the surface was unsteady as if something had just dipped in and not yet reappeared ...


"What now?"


"Waiting..."


A nod and both of them hid tensely behind a rock ...


then the surface of the water was suddenly churned, and something rose from the water.


Trunks and Son Goten were stunned ...
