Chapter one: The Plan

The sun was setting and a middle aged man named Goku walked alone in the park. He sat down on a bench that over looked the lake. This was the best place to watch the sun set on the main land. He put his hands in his pockets because there was a chilly breezes. He looked out in the water and an image of his youngest son Goten appeared. He closed his eyes and shook his head. Goten still lived with him and his wife chichi even though he was 24 years old. A tear tickled down from his left eye but then he quickly wiped it away. He was sad because Goten was sad also. See his girlfriend Paresu dumped him today and she said the meanest things to him and made the proud sayin cry. his wife was not there at the time just him so that was a good thing. Right after paresu walked out the door goten started to blame himself and for a minute Goku thought he was going to kill himself. Goku tried to calm him down but then goten slapped him and it was like some one put a hole throw his heart. Goten tried to say he was sorry but Goku grabbed his coat and left with out a word.

"hey Goku!" yelled Goku's best friend Kullin

"Hi." he said not looking at him just the ground.

"What's wrong?" kullin asked as he took a set next to Goku.

"It's Goten, to make a long story short Paresu dumped him and then he slapped me."

"Oh really."

"Yes I know its not his fault but... i don't know what to do."

"Maybe him and Marron could take each other to the Carnival in two days?" Kullin said as he took out to ticks.

"I don't think he'll want to." said Goku

"He may not but Marron needs some cheering up she just dumped her boyfriend because he was being an ass hole." said kullin

"Maybe I'll have to ask him if he will talk to me when I get home."

"Well then don't ask him when you get home, tomorrow bring Goten and yourself over to my house then will ask both of the at the same time."

"why do you want them to go any way Kullin?" asked Goku

"Well me and 18 were going to go but then her brother is come to Satan city that day so she wanted to go see him. So I just thought that Goten would not mind taking Marron out for a day."

"Like a date." Goku said with a little excitement.

"Sort of." said Kullin getting Goku's draft

"This is it Kullin your so smart. They can both go out and then I could get Bulma to get them two seats at the best restaurant in town. They may think there just going as friends but maybe something will happened andthey both will be happy again."

"That would be cool if they did go out. Maybe get married and then they would have to move out of the house and get there own." said Kullin. Goku and Kullin liked the plain and they had to get to it.

"See you tomorrow Kullin." said Goku

"You to." he said then they both shot of torts there homes.

****Goku's house***

"ChiChi are you home yet." Goku called in the house

"Yes Goku hun I'm home." she said as she walked in and gave him a huge."how come your face is red?"

"Oh it's nothing. Were is Goten?" he asked then he hung his coat up.

"Up in his room. Are you hungry I fix you something really fast."

"No I'm fine." said Goku then he walked down the hall and knocked on Goten's door.

"Who is it." goten said

"Your dad." right away Goten shot up and opened the door. Goten hugged him and started to cry. Goku hugged him back.

"I'm so sorry dad, I did not mean to I'm sorry."

"It's okay Goten I forgive you."

"No it is not I'm so stupid I got mad at you for no reason at all it is all my fault."

"No its not Goten you would have never said any thing she said today and I know you did nothing to her. You treated her like a queen and she abused you and hurt you." Goten still hugged his father tight and Goku looked around Goten's room. All his pictures were on the ground or in the trash, the only one still up was the one of Goten, Marron and Trunks. There was glass on the floor from the picture farms. Goten let go of his dad 5 minutes later and lade down on his bed. Goku looked at is youngest son and his bare feet were cut and bleeding from the glass on the floor.

"Hear Goten have a sensu bean." Goku said as he dug in his shirt pocket and took one out. He sat on the bed by Goten and handed it to him. Goten held it for a minute then put it in his mouth and chewed it up. Then all the cuts on his feet disappeared.

"feel any better?"

"No." Goten said then he put his pillow over his face.

"Goten will you come with me to Kullin's house tomorrow with me?"

"Why?"

"Because I want you to come with me. Then you and Marron can cheer each other up." said Goku

"What's wrong with Marron?"

"She dumped her boyfriend for being an ass hole and now she also is feeling blue so if you want to then you can come with me."

"Okay I'll go."

"Thanks Goten Good night." said Goku the he moved the pillow away from Goten's face then he kissed his forehead then walked out of his room.

"Good night!" Goten yelled out to his dad. goten curled up in his blankets and went to sleep.

"Goku what is wrong with Goten." ChiChi whispered to him as he walked in the living room.

"His girlfriend dumped him and before she did she said the most meanest things to him and made him cry. I told Kullin and he said Marron dumped hers to so we said maybe they both would like to go to the Carnival together." Goku whispered back then sat down.

"You want them to go out don't you goku?"

"If it makes him happy." Goku said then Chichi sat next to him and gave him a huge.

***Kullin's House****

Kullin walked in his front door and his wife 18 and his only child Marron were both setting on the couch talking. He took a seat on his favorite chair and 18 looked at him.

"Where have you been?" she asked him

"I went for a fly and meet up with Goku." Kullin said as he took off hisJacket.

"Don't tell me you were fighting again?" gronded 18

"No I was not we were talking about Goten and how Paresu dumped him."

"Oh but did you give him the tickets?"

"I forgot but I told him about them and he said he'll come over and get them tomorrow."

"Kullin you knew bulma is coming over tomorrow."

"I for got that to... but I promise we wont bother you or bulma."

"Whatever."

"Daddy do you think that I could go to the Carnival sense you and Mom are going to see uncle 17?" Marron asked drying her face.

"Sure. Well come to think about it why don't you and Goten go together."

"What about Goku?" Marron asked

"I'm sure he does not even want to go Marron." Kullin said " and guess what also why I was out I found a house that we could move into and leave this Island."

"Really?" asked 18

"They are not moving out for a few mouths but they said they give it tome for a good price."

"Oh that's Great daddy." said Marron as she got up and hugged her dad.

"I know. It is close by Goku's house and across the street from Yamcha's house."

"That's just great." said 18. 18 did not really like any of Kullin's friends.

"Oh 18 Yamcha is not that bad." said Kullin.

"Well I did not say that hunny. Good night. Marron don't stay up so late will you." said 18 then she kissed Kullin then gave Marron a huge. Then she walked to her room.

"Daddy did you ever have a girlfriend that dumped you or you dumped her?" Marron asked

"Well Yeah I had one before I met your mom. She dumped me and went with another guy. God I'm glad she did, she was always flirting with other guys and I always had to take her shopping. I did cry but I got over it and so will you." said Kullin then he patted marron on her head then walked to his room.

Marron stood up and walked outside. She sat down in the sand and put her feet in the water. She looked up at the stars and remember her father tell her about the moon they had until Mr. Piccolo blew it up. Marron sat there and cried she had love someone but he never loved her back just using her so he could be the most popular kid in school (they been dating ever sense she was 17, five years). She never kissed him once and barley getting a huge once in a great while. She was stupid for falling in to his trap and never wanted to see him again. But still she cried. "oh daddy I know I'll get over him, but when? You know that I hate to be alone and cant live with a part missing in me." Marron cried in her arms.

"Why... he used me when I could have went out with someone elseand maybe gotten married already, for five years."

***the next day****

Goku and Goten were flying to Kullin's house and they day was bright and sunny. Goten was still upset but he got a lot better. Goku was still worried about him and did not trust him just yet to be alone, might want to kill himself.

"Were almost there Goten!" Goku yelled back at his son who was flowing him the best he could.

"I kown there's the Kama house now." Goten yelled to him.

Goku looked ahead and stopped right above the small Island. Goten not paying attention run right in to his dad.

"sorry." Goten said as he fell to the sand and Goku landed right by him.

"It's okay, keep your eyes ahead next time." Goku said as he helped Goten up.

"Nice landing I give it a 10." laughed 18 as she saw what happened.

"Nice to see you to 18." said Goku

"i was kidding I'll go get Kullin." she said then she walked in to her house. Goku and Goten wiped the sand off them. one minute later Kullin,18 and Marron walked outside.

"Hi Guy's." said Kullin as him and Marron walked over to them and 18 sat down on her beach chair under the tree.

"Hi Kullin Hi Marron." said Goku

"Hi." Marron said not to happy

"Hey." Goten said

"We'll would one of you guys take Marron to the Carnival tomorrow?" Kullin asked like he never had the conversation yesterday with Goku.

"Well I can't go how about you Goten?" asked Goku

"I don't know." he said

"Please!" bagged Goku and kullin

"Daddy it's okay if he does not want to go then I'll go by myself and try and have fun." marron said then she turned around and started tow alk back to the house.


"Wait Marron..." Goten said then stopped. Marron tuned and looked at Goten. "I'll go with you." Goku and kullin were so filled with joy but neither one of the two kids look any happier.

"Thank you." Marron said. the wind started to blow faster and they looked out to sea and saw Bulma's air speeder coming. The speeder stopped on the Island and Bulma and her daughter bra got out.

"Hi everyone!" Bra yelled then she ran over by Marron. Bra had two best friends and that was Marron and Pan. the friends at school she only talked to when she went to school and she called them miner.

"Hi Bra." said Marron

**

Bulma walked over and took a seat next to 18 and then looked over at her daughter.

"thanks for coming over Bulma." said 18

"Oh it was nothing 18, anyway I had to get out of my house before Vegeta drove me insane." said Bulma

"Why what did he do this time?"

"Well I can not drink coffee with out cream. So he found out how to lift the cream out of the coffee even when it is mixed so he keeped doing it.So I did not get any coffee this morning. Then i went to take a shower and there was no hot water left so I had to freeze. Then I put my towel on and walked to my room to get a pair of cloths, and half the house was missing because him and Trunks blow up the gravity machine, which is right out side my bedroom window so I had to put on dirty clothes." said Bulma

"Oh."

*****

"I'm sorry about your boyfriend." said Bra as she and Marron were setting on the steps to the house.

"It's okay but I feel so alone I thought some one liked me besides my friends and Family. I thought he loved me." marron said almost crying again.

"All you have to do is find yourself a better guy and you'll forget he was ever born."

"that's it what if i cant find anyone."

"I'm sure you can, look you could get Goten he does not have a girlfriend any more, theirs my brother but no one wants to go with him, see there are a million people that you could pick from."

"But I cant image me with them I grew up with them."

"I could..." Bra said and marron giggled "NOT MY BROTHER!" Bra yelled but Marron still laught.

"I could see it now Bra and Trunks. What a lovely couple you two would make!" Marron laugh and bra throw so sand at her but marron covered her face before it hit her.

"Can I set over hear?" Goten asked as the two girls stopped what they were doing and looked up at him. hearts grew in Bra's eyes and she blushed a little bit.

"Sure you can." said Marron as she moved over to make room for Goten.

"Marron you look a lot happier." Goten said as he looked at her and smiled at her and bra.

"Well that's what your best friends do make you smile." said Marron

"You can say that again" said Bra

"So are you going tomorrow Bra?" asked Goten

"What... where? oh the Carnival. I cant I have to go with Trunks some where. I don't want to go but my mom said if i did she would make him take me shopping." said bra

"Oh that's why Trunks would never call me back." said Goten

"Some times bra I think that job of his is taking over his life." said Marron

"I know, he never does much of any thing any more. I have to go to try out the new Capsules him and my mom made. That's why he did not come today he had to get a stupid call." said Bra

"We'll i'm happy that at least one person could come with me." said Marron

"Any time." said Goten

"Oh guys did you hear that alive Queen and king is coming to Satan City in two weeks. They are throwing a grand ball and only people that get invited get to go." said Bra

"How do you know?" asked Marron

"Well they sent my mom in invitation. But don't worry you guys might get invited to they are going to keep handing them out until the night."said Bra

"I don't know Bra my family does not really do any thing that would getus an invitation." said Marron

"Mine either." said Goten

"I'm sure you guys will go. i cant wait finally a good reason to buy a thousand dollar dress." said Bra they a laugh a bit.

"If I did get invited I don't think i would want to go anyway." said Goten then his smiled faded a bit.

"Why not." both girls said.

"Ah... Ah... " Goten said as he put his hand on the back of his head and turned cherry pink.

"Well?" asked Bra

"Never mind." said Goten

"It's okay Goten you can tell us." said Marron

"I don't know how to dance."

"That's silly Goten everyone can dance." said Bra

"I don't know how to do the dance "River", "Bird heart", "Love evening" or any of the other dances that they do at those kind of things." he said

"What!" they said as there jaws hit the floor.

"Everyone knows how to do that Goten even my dad and brother." said Bra

"I know my dad can to. but I tried but I always fall on my face or step on the girls feet. Then I run in to other people. I just make myself look stupid and my parents." said Goten

"I'm sure we could help you out Goten even maybe teach you the way we were and you'll be fine." said Bra.

"You can try." he said

***

"Bulma can I ask you some thing?" Goku said as him and Kullin made there way over to them.

"Sure Goku." said Bulma

"I want to know if you by any chance can get me a pair of tickets to the Diamond restaurant in Satan City." he said then he took a keen in the sand.

"Sure I can I know I have a few in my car. They always send me them. I'll be back in a minute 18."

"Okay Bulma." she said. Bulma and Goku walked over to her hover car and she opened the door and pulled out a white envelope.

"How many do you want?" Bulma asked

"Just two." he said

"Are you going?"

"No I'm going to give them to Goten and Marron for tomorrow night."

"They are going out!?" said Bulma as she looked over at the three kids that where now running over to the ocean shor laughing. Then they all started to splash water at each other.

"No not yet anyway. Me and Kullin want them to. We just did not tell them that yet."

"Oh, they would be so cute together. I wish my kids would go out and get them self a boyfriend or a girlfriend."

"Yeah there going to the Carnival tomorrow." said Goku

"that one that only comes every 20 years. The one they got lost at when they were very little."

"What? what do you mean bulma."

"Oh yeah you were not there the fist time we went."

"What happened." said Goku as bulma handed him the two tickits.

"Well Goten and Trunks wanted to go on the roller coster but they were too small so me and chichi said no. So why we were eating they stared to walk off with out us knowing. They were going kind of slow so marron who was just learning how to walk flowed them. I guess they knew Marron was flowing them so they took her along to. Then about two hours later after we all went crazy looking for them we found them asleep but the roller coaster entrance. They also took a picture look." said bulma as she took out a picture of two year old Marron, four year old Goten and five year old Trunks. Goten was holding Marron, and Trunks was putting bunny earson Goten.

"And I missed all of it." said Goku as they walked back over to Kullin and 18.

"Well its not your fault Goku." said Bulma as she took her seat.

"What are two talking about?" asked Kullin

"The time when Goten, Marron and Trunks got lost at the Carnival." said Bulma

"I'll never forget that until i die." said 18

"You and me both." said Bulma.

****

Goten, Marron and Bra were splashing the ocean water at each other and having a fun time. It all started when they started to talk about Marron on the swim team. Then they started to make fun of each other and how bad they were at doing an thin they could thin of. Goten of course got them soked in one splash. they all stopped and sat down in the water and looked at the sun it was going down and soon would be night again.

"That was fun." said Bra as she splashed some water up in the air.

"I know." said Goten

"I wish this day would not end it was so much fun." said Marron

"I never thought I would ever be happy again because of what happened yesterday." said Goten he was not going to let Paresu take him over. He would never cry or try not to cry about her again.

"Me nether." said Marron

"See what a signal girl named bra can bring to your guys life." said bra and she smiled

"That's why your my best friend." said Marron as she gave he wet frienda huge.

"Maybe you should become my best friend." said Goten then he laught.

"That's what I'm hear for. Don't worry Goten when i get home I'll rag my brother out for you. If they fix the house before I go to bed." she said

"HEY GOTEN!" Yelled Goku from the small Island

"Yeah dad?" he called back

"Time to go home don't want the girls to get you more wet the you alrady are." Goku teased "No we got to go before you mom comes looking for us."

"Okay dad. Bye girls, see you tomarro Marron." said Goten then he got up and walked over to Goku.

"Bye!" they both yelled

"Your mom is going to shoot you." said Goku

"Bye!" Goten Yelled to 18, Kullin and Bulma. They waved back then Goten and Goku jumped up in the air and flew off tords home.

"He is so cute is he not?" asked bra

"Who?" Marron

"Goten."

"Oh yeah well sort of."

"Not sort of he is so dame fine!"

"Then why don't you go out with him Bra?"

"No... He is to old for me. And have you ever liked a singer or a movie star that you have a huge crash on and blush when ever they talk to you?"

"Of cores I did."

"Well that's how i fell about him. I would ask him and he most likely would say yes but I know I'll never be as happy."

"Why not?"

"Well I don't love him like that, I more love him like a big brother. Away better one then the one I have now. And I really would like some one my own age."

"Do you have any one in mind."

"Yes his name in Paul and he is in my class." said Bra

"I wish I could have a new boyfriend a better one the the last one."

"I would not call him a boy friend Marron I would call him a friend that turned in to a big ass hole."

"Your right."

"Why don't you give Goten a chance see if he is romantic and nice. Tomarro when you go to the Carnival see if you can find things out that he would only tell his girlfriend then you'll know if he likes you ornot."

"but what if he dose not want another girlfriend?"

"It wont heart to ask. I know you like him. If you would not have went out with that other guy you two probley would have been together already."

"Your right I do like him and I wont stop until I'm happy again." said Marron

"You really did like him all these years?" Bra asked

"Yeah of course doesn't everyone?" Marron said then she fell back in the water and found something in her she had locked away and almost forgot about.

"I knew it a new Romance is going to start."

"Hey Bra sorry to end your fun but we have to go home now will come over again." said Bulma

"Okay mom. right in the good part. See you later Marron call me tomorrow after the fair and tell me every thing." said Bra then she ran over to her mom.

"Marron why don't you come in to." said 18

"Bye. Can I watch the sun set Mom."

"I guess so but when your done come inside for dinner." said 18

"Okay." Marron said then bulma's air speeder flew by and Marron sat up and watched the sun set the a image of Goten came to her eyes and she smiled. The hole in her heart melted a way and she was happy again.
