As they grow older they develop

Ball world, peace is relatively short-lived. An
Peace is restored once again after Buu's defeat. Goten and Trunks grow up into teenagers by the end of the Dragon Ball Z series. Trunks becomes a dashing 18 year old and Goten a sloppy looking, but still cute 17 year old. Both have lost interest in training and fighting. Goten is already into dating and girls. It isn't known as to what Trunks is into, but his father has to threaten cutting his allowance and ordering his son into joining a tournament. Goten's already being forced into it by his father. Not much is shown as far as these two fighting, but it is known that Goten is defeated by his four year old niece, Pan in the tournament and he was whining about having drawn Buu (the good half of Buu...the bad half died) before the tournament even began. (Apparently there was a shift in drawing order after Goku and Ubuu left in order to refill the fighting brackets). Nothing is known about Trunks' fights though he had initially drawn a burly gay fighter who had developed a liking to the purple-haired boy.
As GT progresses, the trio eventually
return back to Earth successful only to By the end of GT, there is a jump of many years into the future. All the known DBZ members are now dead aside from Pan who's over 100 years old. She watches her grandchild, Goku Jr. who's a lookalike of the original Goku and Vegeta Jr. who's a dead ringer for a little Vegeta face off in a tournament bout.It is mentioned that the two families (the Briefs and the Sons) parted ways and no longer spoke to one another. And that is how the series ended. The end of the GT series is rather unlikely and a cop-out by the writers. Personally I don't believe the two families would ever lose contact with each other and Trunks and Goten's friendship was too strong to ever separate.

Trunks
may be one year older than Goten, but the two are so close that
they are like brothers. Blame it on their mothers, but they seem
to compliment each other perfectly. And when they're together,
you can be fairly certain that trouble is right with them. As
kids, they were a humorous pair and devious, troublesome brats
(well mainly Trunks, but Goten followed along anyway). As adults,
they seem more "mature" and independent though their
friendship is still obviously close. And their greatest accomplishment
together...a technique Goku taught them when they were kids...FUSION.
With fusion, Goten and Trunks fuse into one powerful warrior
known as GOTENKS. Gotenks is the only other saiya-jin other than
Goku that reached Super Saiya-jin Level 3.
Trunks and Goten in the Dragon Ball world are like
peanut butter and jelly. The two compliment each other perfectly,
their differences giving them the right blend of competition
and bonding. Early in life, ChiChi and Bulma seemed to rely on
each other in helping to raise these two energetic saiyan hybrids.
In that, they were raised like brothers. Gohan, Goten's oldest
brother was also a sort of step- big brother to Trunks as well.
world and satisfying their curiousities
is mainly due to Trunks' thinking and scheming. Goten is often
aware that what they're doing is going to get them into trouble
and he sometimes goes as far as to remind Trunks of it. But,
Trunks is skilled at manipulating his friend and Goten naive
enough to follow.
During peacetime they enjoy their carefree childhood
by playing "fight" and being little brats or pests
to the adults. Gohan's "girlfriend" Videl ends up being
easily manipulated by these two when she's babysitting them.
Goten has a knack for throwing tantrums when he feels wronged
and continues them until somebody gives in and gives him his
way. Trunks simply smooth talks or deceives others into getting
his way. But, the son of Vegeta is also the typical spoiled little
rich kid. He has to do very little to get what he wants.
evil being called Buu is resurrected
by the vengeful Babi Dee. The strongest enemy ever encountered
by the Z Team ends up overwhelming them easily. Vegeta and Gohan
die at the hands of Majin Buu and Goku is dead already. Left
to defend the earth is Piccolo, Goten, and Trunks. During Goku's
one day visit back to the living earth, he teaches the two little
saiyan hybrids a technique that he believes capable of destroying
Buu if the two master it. It's called Fusion. A special set of
motions are to be followed if fusion is to occur. It's poses
and motions are ugly, but done correctly, two warriors of similar
power levels can fuse into a single, very powerful warrior. It's
very energy expensive and can only be held for under an hour,
but according to Goku, the power of this fused warrior should
be strong enough to defeat Buu in less than that.
Piccolo continues training Goten and Trunks in the
technique after Goku returns to the afterlife. Protesting and
whining, the two kids eventually learn the technique. They're
fusion is unsuccessful the first two times, forming useless fused
warriors that are too fat or too thin and both too weak to fight.
Their third try is perfect and they form Gotenks, a strong but
arrogant warrior.Gotenks is cocky and inexperienced in fighting
and it shows when he goes off to challenge Buu. His little saiyan
butt is kicked badly by Buu. Upon their return to Piccolo and
the others, Goten and Trunks are promptly scolded by Piccolo
and their mothers.
Gotenks learns quickly however. He manages to even master super
saiyan level 3. The only other to accomplish such was Goku himself.
Trunks is very concerned with style however and influences Gotenks'
fighting style. Gotenks tries to be cool and stylish always making
sure he looks good as he fights. It does nothing for his skill.
Buu has to eventually be defeated by their dads, coming back
from the dead.
By
Dragon Ball GT, Trunks and Goten are now adults. They are 28
and 27 years old respectively at the beginning of this series.
They are beginning to embark on their own lives though obviously
close friends. Goten's still busily obsessed with dating and
cell phones. He's got a girlfriend named Parisu. A flaky, naive
but very pretty young woman, she makes Goten look smart. Trunks
has assumed the presidency of Capsule Corporation and appears
to be taking it to new heights. He hates his job however. Neither
is doing much about training though both appear to still maintain
some level of fitness.
Disappointed in the two, Vegeta talks Gohan out of
a mission into space to find the Black Star dragonballs. Instead,
Vegeta literally drags a protesting Trunks and Goten onto the
mission. Luckily for Goten, his cell phone rings and while he's
busy chatting about a missed date, a stowaway Pan hits the ignition
button leaving him on Earth. Trunks and Goku join Pan on the
mission across the universe. It would've been interesting to
see how the two best friends would've fared on this mission if
only Goten had gotten onto the ship. Anyway, poor Trunks ended
up in one pitfall after another on this mission and probably
longed for his 'dull' desk job.
discover
Earth isn't at peace anymore. As one enemy after another shows
up to complicate matters (Baby, then Super 17, then the evil
dragons), Goten and Trunks stick by each other in combat though
neither is an effective warrior any more. Goten mentions fusion
once, but Goku talks them out of it. Fusion is useless, especially
when Goku and Vegeta have accomplished super saiyan level 4 PLUS
fusion. And so, the two best friends remain as such throughout
the series though sadly, no longer strong fighters.
