It had been exhausting, for all involved, and so - once their families had filed through, oohing and aaahing at the twins - Trunks was able to get the children into the crib, Truten into bed, and tuck Goten in so she could sleep peacefully.

One thing still bugged him though. It didn't matter how much his father seemed not to care about their lives - ever since Trunks had been wished back into a man, they'd rarely seen him - why didn't he come to see the twins?

Trunks sighed as he leaned in the doorframe, watching the three children sleep, so different, yet so similar.

"Why didn't you want to see your grandkids, Dad?" Trunks asked with a sigh to the empty room, before closing the door down to a crack.

It wasn't long before exhaustion took him into her arms for the night's sleep as well.

Shortly after midnight, the door to the living-room balcony slid carefully open, and then closed. Soft footsteps made their way across the carpet, silent - so as not to wake the residents of the apartment.

The door to the nursery opened without a sound, closing just as silently behind him, as the figure made his way over to the shared crib. He looked down, seeing Teena and Gotenks... and smiled. He nodded in approval, but frowned when Gotenks began to whimper in his sleep.

"Shhh," he reached down and rubbed the infant's stomach gently - and Gotenks fell fast asleep once more. "Hn... just like your father," he shook his head, bringing his hand away - but not before gently brushing it through his second grandaughter's wild hair. He pulled back and looked over to see Truten fast asleep, her blanket fallen off. He went over to tuck her in, and the little girl opened her eyes. "Granpa Geta?"

"Shh, go back to sleep," He said, his gruff tone softened for the child. She yawned and closed her eyes without a second thought.

He made his way to the door, and looked back at the sleeping children, then nodded, slipping through and leaving it cracked so that their parents might hear if they were needed.

Then, he looked in on their parents. He shook his head slightly, seeing them huddled together in the centre of their joined bed, but did nothing more, closing their door back to a crack before leaving as silently as he had come.

Trunks came in, a golden, star bespeckled ball in his hand. He set it down on the kitchen table, "Goten!" he called. "I got the last one!"

Goten looked up from the bed, the two infants on the bed beside her, protected with pillows from rolling over as she played with Truten. "You did?! You actually found it?!"

He moved back to look in the doorway, "Yep - what say tomorrow we put things the way they should be?" he asked.

Goten bit his lip a bit. "Are you sure you want to do this?" she asked softly.

Trunks looked at her, blinking. "...what?"

"I mean... I really don't MIND being this way... if you want to stay a guy...."

He brought the chair over and sat, tipping his heels onto the edge of the bed and resting his arms over his knees. "Goten," Trunks looked at her seriously. "Tell me what YOU want."

"I want for us to be together... to raise our children," Goten stated. "Who the man or woman is, that I don't care about. As long as it's with you," She smiled.

Trunks sighed, "That's not the answer that's going to help," he admitted.

"But it's the truth...."

"I know," he sighed. "Okay, maybe if I ask a different question. You seemed so exited when I found the last dragonball.... which body are you more comfortable with yourself in?"

Goten shrugged. "I'm fine in either one... which one do YOU want, Trunks."

Trunks looked away, his toes playing on the mattress.

"Trunks?"

"Hmm?"

"What do you want to be?" Goten crawled across the bed to look in his face.

Trunks mumbled something under his breath, and shrugged.

"I can't hear you..." Goten sing songed.

"Nwnnnagrlmmm..."

"Nani?"

"Well...." Trunks sighed. "You... I... we... mmm... uhm What do you wanna be?"

"Whatever you don't want to be," Goten said firmly. "Trunks, honestly, I'm comfortable in both... which one do YOU want to be."

Trunks whimpered, shifting uncomfortably in his chair.

"You want to be the girl again, don't you?" Goten guessed.

Trunks shrugged, then nodded slightly.

"Ok," Goten nodded. "Guess I'm going to have to beg for my job back... " Goten stood up happily and picked up Truten. "And Truten is going to be so happy to see her Mama and Papa again, aren't ya?" she said as she tossed the toddler into the air.

Truten squealed and giggled.

"Y'know... that kid's gonna have one effed up way of looking at momma and papa, Goten," he laughed.

"Yeah, well... in the end, she has two parents who love her. That's all she needs, right Truten?" Goten nuzzled her daughter's face.

"RAR!!!" Truten grabbed on Goten's nose.

Goten squeaked. "LEDDGO!" she said, giggling.

Their eldest squealed, and clapped her hands. And Trunks smiled... things were going to go right, for once in his life.

Finally.

Trunks had Truten on his shoulders as he carried the bag with the dragonballs to the centre of the field, putting them down. "Let's wait until Videl and Gohan get here, they can hang onto the kids, then."

Goten nodded and leaned over the stroller, tickling the two infants. "You think they'll understand one day about all this?" she asked, then tugged at the too large clothing she was wearing, prepared for her switch back.

"Depends, you think they'll give us a hard time about being part alien?" Trunks chuckled, looking up, as he felt an approach, "They're almost here."

"Man, we need to start searching for a therapist now..." Goten chuckled.

"Nah, we turned out okay, didn't we?" Trunks laughed.

Goten raised an eyebrow.

"Well, other than the whole.. gender.. confusion... thing.... yeah. Hey Videl!" Trunks looked up as the woman landed.

Goten shook her head, then smiled at his sister in law and brother. "Hey guys."

Gohan chuckled. "Good Afternoon..."

"Good, you're here," Trunks picked Truten off his shoulders and handed the toddler over to Videl. "Thanks for coming you guys - Gohan, your job is to keep my Dad from horning in until AFTER both wishes are made," he chuckled.

"Dad's out with him... training... I think we're safe." Gohan smiled and tickled Truten's chin.

Goten sighed in relief. "Good, I get to live a few more hours."

"What are YOU worried about, Chibi?" Trunks asked, moving to start setting the balls out on the ground.

"Your father's wrath. You KNOW he's going to blame me..." Goten pulled her pants up a bit more.

"You're paranoid, hon."

Videl chuckled, "Oh stop playing with the balls, Trunks," she shook her head. "Go on and make the wish, so we can all go home."

Gohan shook his head. "At least it'll be good to have my brother back to normal..." he said softly.

"Yeah, we'll just turn you into a woman," Videl teased, laughing.

"Don't joke like that," Gohan wrinkled his nose.

Videl stuck her tongue out at him.

Trunks just rolled his eyes and stood back. "Shenron... come forth and grant my wish!" he called to it.

The balls began to glow, throbbing before a bright light shot into the air, the sky going black as the light twisted and turned, soon becoming a dragon.

Truten reached out toward it, "Mine!"

"Shh," videl hushed the child.

"You have summoned the Eternal Dragon... You have two wishes - what is your first wish?" It looked down at Trunks.

"My first wish, is that Goten return to having the DNA he had two years ago!"

The dragon seemed to sigh and it's eyes glowed. "Your wish has been granted."

Goten gasped as he felt his body changing, closing his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he was back to his male body, and he stared at his hands in shock.

Trunks looked back and smiled - now THAT looked right.

"Does anyone ELSE want to spend a year as the opposite Gender?" The dragon asked boredly.

"Well actually, Yes, someone does," Trunks said, nodding.

Gohan's eyes opened a bit, and he looked at Videl, then started to back away, fearful that his wife and Trunks made a deal.

Videl rolled her eyes, "Gohan," she growled at him.

Trunk's eyes widened. No... not again!

"Your... Wish...."

"WAIT NO! NOT HIM!!!"

"Has...."

"NO NOT ME!" Gohan added in desperation

"Been Granted."

"OH FUCK!" Trunks threw a rock at the Dragon. "YOU IDIOTIC OVERGROWN LIZARD!"

Videl's eyes widend. "Oh. shit."

"Oh Shit!" Truten giggled.

Goten held a hand over his mouth as he watched a light surround Gohan. Gohan screamed as he changed into a female.

Videl put Truten down, and the toddler giggled, picking up rocks to make a pile, while the Dragon disappeared, the balls scattering across the world. She ran to her husband.... wife? "Gohan, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean. Oh Kami..."

Gohan gave Videl a glare, then looked down at his... her body... then promptly fainted.

Goten went over the Trunks and put a hand on his shoulder. "You ok?"

"What's another year?" Trunks grit his jaw and turned, picking up Truten quickly. The child, sensing her mother's distress, began to cry. "Get the twins, we're going home." Without looking back, he took to the air. I give up....

Videl knelt next to Gohan, "Honey? Wake up honey.... c'mon...."

Goten sighed. He brought the twins over and knelt beside Videl and Gohan. "Great going Videl," Goten muttered.

Gohan moaned... a very high pitched female moan.

"How was I supposed to know the dragon would take my yelling at him, as finishing Trunks's wish? Who was he gonna wish on - revenge on that woman who started this?" She shook Gohan's shoulder a little more.

"No...." Goten said softly. "He wanted... well... it's not my place to say."

Gohan's eyes fluttered open and he looked at Videl. "I had a strange dream... wait... my voice..." Gohan looked down at herself, then fainted again.

"Well, it's a good thing Pan decided to go to America for a year before starting college," She bent over then pulled Gohan up, putting her over her shoulder.

"Are you two going to be ok?" Goten asked, easily picking up the stroller that held the twins.

"Yeah," Videl nodded. "I'll call if I need any help."

Goten nodded. He looked at his... sister... one more time, then took off after Trunks.

"C'mon, Gohan, let's get you home," Videl pushed off into the air, sighing. "Hope you'll forgive me."

Gohan just groaned.

"Wake up, Gohan."

"I'm not talking to you," a higher pitched voice replied.

"It was an accident! What were you doing, sneaking off, anyhow?

"Cause I knew you were going to do this!" he... she whined.

"No we weren't. I think Trunks was going to get back on the girl who started the whole mess. Honest, nobody wanted to turn you into a female," she patted her mate's bum with a laugh, "You're whiney enough as it is."

Gohan just started to cry.

"Case in point," Videl touched down outside their house and put Gohan back to her feet, "C'mon, you can borrow some of my clothes."

Gohan just crossed her arms tightly over her body, looking at Videl like a lost puppy, her hair falling across her face.

Videl sighed, going back, putting an arm around Gohan's shoulders, and leading her into their house. "Just be glad Pan's gone to America for the year, okay? You won't have to go through what Trunks and Goten had to with her."

"No... but we're going to have to deal with my mother," she grumbled.

"Don't worry about Chichi - I'm sure she'll be fine."

"I dont' want to be a girl, Videl.... maybe we can get Dende or the Kai's to help..." Gohan whined.

"They didn't help Goten or Trunks, either."

"But I saved the world many times! They HAVE to help me!"

Videl closed the door as they got into the house, and looked at Gohan sternly. "Stop whining."

"What do you expect me to do?! Cheer and dance around?!" Gohan waved her hands in the air. "Yee-haw, look at me, I have breasts!"

As her hands left her waist, her pants fell down.

Videl sniggered, "Uh... Gohan..."

Gohan just closed her eyes. "Don't... speak," she stated as she leaned over to get her clothes.

"You're being overly dramatic, now let's get some clothes for you, c'mon!" she motioned to Gohan as she headed up the stairs.

"I'm going to kill that Dragon..." Gohan muttered and followed Videl defeatedly.

"Just think, it's only a year, and there's no chance of you getting pregnant and prolonging it," She chuckled. "In fact, you don't even have to find the dragonballs to get back to normal!"

"Just don't get any ideas, ok Del? I'm not going to have any kids, in fact I'm never leaving this house." Gohan sighed.

"Hello, Gohan. I'm a FEMALE - I can't get you pregnant," she laughed.

"You're evil... you'll figure out a way..." Gohan muttered. "What did I do to deserve this!"

"Maybe you whined too much as a kid?" Videl laughed over her shoulder, heading to their room.

"I hate you," Gohan wrinkled her nose.

"Nah, you love me - you just hate being teased," Videl tossed a bra at her.

Gohan looked at it and started to whimper again.

Videl then tossed a blouse over her shoulder at Gohan, before rummaging around for a pair of jeans.

Gohan just sat on the bed, biting her lip, staring at the bra.

"Ahha! And look, I bought new panties yesterday," Videl grabbed out an unopened package of thongs. "You're all set until I can go shopping for you," she turned around, panties and jeans in either hand.

Gohan just looked at the clothing. "I really hate you right now..." she said softly. Videl put the items on the bed next to Gohan, and knelt before her. "Honey, I'm so sorry - I never meant for this to happen, you have to believe me."

"It's not just that..." Gohan sniffled.

"Then what?"

"I don't know how to put on the bra..." Gohan looked up at Videl with teary eyes.

Goten landed on the balcony, working to toe the door open while holding the stroller. "Trunks?" he called questioningly.

"What?!" Trunks called back, having Truten in her highchair already, and was at the counter cutting up food for their eldest.

Goten winced, still trying the door. "Can you get the door? It's kinda awkward..."

Trunks sighed, dropping the knife on the counter, putting a handful of sliced steak onto the highchair table, and went to wrench the balcony doors open. "There." He turned and started his way back to the kitchen.

Goten watched Trunks, then wheeled the infants into their bedroom. He lifted each one, fast asleep, into the crib, then closed the door. Walking to the kitchen, he kissed Truten on the head. "Hey cutie."

Truten looked at Goten curiously, not quite sure what to think, just now.

"You wanna talk?" Goten asked Trunks.

"No." slice, slice, slice.

"I know you're upset, Trunks. Please talk to me." Goten asked.

"I have nothing to say on this matter," Trunks replied, turning the slices of steak to the side to cube.

"It was an accident, Trunks... I mean, none of us knew the dragon was going to ask that... it was like he set it up."

"Hn. Well, considering the last four wishes that had been made, were for gender change - I'm not surprised."

Goten walked forward, wrapping his arms around Trunks' waist. "Please, Trunks... relax. Everything will be alright... we just have to wait a year, ok?"

Trunks stiffened, pulling away, "Don't."

"What's wrong?"

"Just... leave me alone, Goten," he said, finishing cutting up the steak and bringing it over for Truten.

Goten lowered his head, biting his lip. "Fine. I'm going for a fly then. Since you don't want me here." He started for the balcony.

"Hn," Trunks only shrugged, moving to get some vegetables down for Truten's meal.

With a final look back, Goten took off, flying out, no destination in mind, just flying.

Once Trunks felt Goten's ki wane, he sat down in a chair near Truten. "Why can't anything go right... just once?" he asked her.

"MAMAMA!!" Truten held out a bit of steak, opening her mouth and sticking out her tongue.

Obediently, Trunks opened his mouth, allowing the chibi to feed him, as he sighed.

It was late that night when Goten came home. He opened the door slowly, not intending on waking anyone up, especially the kids, and walked inside.

The television was on, volume low. It seemed to be in a waiting mode, as Trunks had fallen asleep on the couch, the controller in hand, a scowl on his face.

Goten looked over gently, then shivered, having nearly frozen himself to the bone flying around like he had. But still, he reached over and turned the tv off, then found a blanket to cover Trunks with.

Trunks didn't stir, exhausted; though, as the blanket covered him, Trunks huddled under it, a hurt, angry expression on his sleeping face.

Goten leaned over and gave Trunks a gentle kiss on his forehead, then went to the bedroom. He pulled off his clothing, then got dressed in much warmer clothes, and crawled into bed.
