Disclaimer: Same as first chapter.POV: Trunks
I cradle my best friend's head against my chest as he bawls his eyes out. He really loved my sister and she broke his heart. Lately she has been different. I can't quite figure it out yet, but what ever it is, it bothers me.
Goten's alcohol problem is another matter for concern. After while, said alcoholic stops sobbing and decides to take a shower. He gets out of bed a bit too fast and stumbles, but I catch him before he could fall. After he seems steady, he heads over to the bathroom to pee and shower. Not knowing what else to do I just sit in the chair and wait. As I do so I can hear the trickle into the bowl, before it is flushed.
A short while later Goten exits the bathroom, nude to my embarrassment, and headed to his dresser to pull out a pair of boxers. He catches me blushing and puts on that grin of his and puts them on.
"Thanks for being such a good friend, Trunks."
"Sure thing, Goten."
"So, how are things going with Jenny?" he asks me.
"Not so well. Lately there has been a lot of tension between us."
"Tell me about it."
"Well... The other day we were riding in the car to her home and she was unusually quiet. I asked her if anything was wrong and she said no. And now she hasn't returned any of my calls for the past month."
"Well, that's ironic." Goten frowned.
"That's what Bra did to me before she publicly dumped me in the mall. It was humiliating."
"Hmm." I furrowed my brow in thought.
"I think Bra was just in a bad mood, after all she was on her period when she dumped me. I don't think that will happen to you. After all, you are the C.E.O. of C.C. now. The girls swarm around you."
"Yeah, but all they care about is sex and money."
"I didn't think about that."
POV: Goten
I am soon completely dressed, with my wallet, and head out of my room with Trunks in tow. Mom gives me a weary look and sets a medium sized plate for me and a large plate for Trunks, of food, on the table to encourage me to stay longer.
"Trunks won't you and Goten have a bite to eat before you go out?" Mom asks us.
"Sure." Trunks says, and I join him reluctantly.
I was hoping to go out and head over to my favorite bar. But I'll do that after I eat something. Last time I had a lot of scotch with no food, and I got sick. But it is better than feeling the stab of pain from being dumped by the one you love.
As if reading my thoughts, mom said to me: "Bra can't take away what you feel for her. Love is yours to give, to who you choose to give it. If she can not handle your love, you deserve someone better." I just smile wryly at her for a moment and finish my meal.
"She's right, I hope you know." Dad says as he walked in smiling and closed the kitchen door.
"Hey Trunks."
"Hey Goku."
POV: Goku
I'm glad my youngest is finally awake. Chichi sets a large bowl of teriyaki chick and rice in front of me and I dig in. "Goten come with me to the office, I want to show you around. I have to leave soon, my lunch break is almost over." Trunks says. And they took off.
Bulma had given the Ministry of Defense the 'samples' they required. But they were simply Rhesus Monkey DNA combined with human DNA, in such a way to be close to a saiyans, but not exactly, so any clones will fail, or have diminished brain capacity.
