Okay everyone... This is the continuation of "Only Time Will Tell." I suggest you read that fic before this one but if you wanna give it a try, I am not gonna stop you. This is a Kyoko/Goten fic from Kyoko's POV and I hope you like it! Love you all, *FAYE*

*** 5:30 Saturday Night ***

"Pan, are you sure that I look alright?" I did a little turn in front of my pregnant friend.

"Sweet Dende, Kyoko. You've asked me that 100 times and for the 100th time you look wonderful." Pan gave me a knowing glance and giggled at my expense.

I looked in the mirror and tucked my red hair behind my ears. I was wearing a short black mim skirt and a shiny green tank top. I wanted to look calm, cool and collected in front of Pan but I obviously failed. I couldn't help it. Goten was cute and sweet in his own goofy way and he was also half saiyan which intrigued me a lot. I'd been waiting months for this night.

"Woohoo." I heard a whistle and a cat-call behind me and turned to see Trunks grinning wickedly from the doorway. "Goten will never be able to keep his hands off you."

I flashed him an equally evil grin. "Let's hope not."

"Trunks! Don't encourage her. He IS my uncle. UGH!" She made a discusted face but quickly broke into a smile.

Trunks grinned at Pan playfully and I still couldn't get over how in love they were. I'd only ever dreamed of a love like that. They only had eyes for each other, even after everything they'd gone through together. All I could do was tease them to break up the feeling that I was intruding.

"Awwwww... you guys are so cute."

"Don't start! Wait until you get married Kyoko. I'll---" Pan stopped talking when she heard T.J. crying in the next room. "Be right back."

Pan left the room, leaving only Trunks and I. He crossed the room and gave me a big hug.

"Seriously Kyoko. I wish you all the luck in the world tonight."

"Thanks Trunks." I returned the hug with a smile. It was amazing how close Trunks, Pan and I had become. I really considered them as much family as I did Touya.

"Hey, get your hands off my husband!" Pan had come back in the room and had a devilshly playful gleem in her eyes.

I just laughed and held my hands out to hold my beautiful godson. He smiled the moment I took him in my arms and it made me a little jealous. I'd always wanted children but I guess I'll have to wait for that.

"We'll have to keep an eye on T.J., Trunks. I think he's getting sick." Pan flashed Trunks a worried expression.

"He looks fine to me." No sooner did the words come out of my mouth, T.J. vomited all over my shirt and lap. "Shit." I just sighed and held him out to Pan.

Trunks burst into laughter and Pan took T.J. before laughing right along with him.

"Dammit! It's not funny." I tried to sound angry but I couldn't. I ended up laughing with them. It just figured that this would happen 10 minutes before Goten was supposed to get here.

"Go use the guest bathroom. There's towels in the closet." Pan winked as she fought to stop laughing and clean up her son.

"I'll stall Goten." Trunks grinned as I walked out of the room trying not to make a mess. Then I heard him call after me, "or I can just send him into you, if you want."

"TRUNKS!" I heard Pan smack him playfully and then both of them burst into laughter again.

I got in the shower and laughed at the irony of the sitsuation. I'd spent over an hour trying to look perfect for Goten and now I had to start all over. T.J.'s vomit had even gotten into my hair so I had to wash that too. The only other clothes I had with me were some blue jeans and a light blue baby-tee. I guess that would be my outfit along with a wet ponytail and bare mininum makeup.

It took me a total of 20 minutes to get ready again, start to finish. I really felt dressed down for a first date but thankfully Trunks and Pan would have already explained the sitsuation to him.

I made my way down to the living room and grinned to myself when I saw Pan, Trunks and Goten all chatting on the couch. Part of me felt a little jealous of their closeness. I remember as a young teenage being evacuated from earth because of an explosion. Today Pan finally admitted to me that all of them had been involved in the evacuation efforts. There was so much that they'd all been through together that I'd never understand it all. I just hoped that Goten would give me a chance to try.

"Hey Kyoko. Sorry again about T.J." Trunks smiled and waved me over when I'd hesitated in the doorway.

"No problem." I smiled and them met Goten's eyes after he looked me over.

"You look beautiful." He flashed me a goofy grin that I'd seen Pan use on occasion. I remember that Bulma had called it the "famous Son grin."

"Thanks." I felt my face growing warm and I could tell by the looks on their faces that I was blushing.

Pan came over and gave me a hug while whispering in my ear. "I think you look even better now. Dressed down will definetly make Uncle Goten more comfortable." She let me go and winked.

"You ready to go?" Goten stood up and walked over to me.

"S-sure." I could feel my body tremble as he put his arm around me shoulder.

"Have fun tonight." Pan called out the door after us.

"Don't forget protection!" Trunks yelled out to Goten before bursting into laughter. His words were immediately followed by a slamming of the door and some rather choice words from Pan before even more laughter erupted behind the door.

I looked over at Goten who was as red as I felt.

"S-Sorry about Trunks. We've been friends for so long that he doesn't know when to shut up."

I giggled a bit nervously. "No problem."

I could have hit myself. I'd always been told that I had a sharp tongue and quick wit. They'd also always told me that it was due to my red hair. If that was true though, why couldn't I just be cool. It was only Pan's uncle. I mean, I was acting like a shy, innocent virgin for Dende's sake!

"So what do you want to do tonight?" Goten looked at me with a grin.

"Ummmmm..." I suddenly remembered that Pan said that Goten liked laid back atmosphere so I took a chance. "How about we go to dinner and then we can go to the arcade."

His jaw dropped in shock. "You like the arcade?"

"Hell yeah! I was on the ping pong club in jr. high and I am a pro at Street Fight Alpha!" I smiled proudly and instanly felt more relaxed. This was probably going to be the first date where I didn't feel like I had to prove myself. I could just be me.

"Sweet Dende, Kyoko. This night is going to be even better then I thought." Goten grinned and kissed my cheek. I couldn't help but smile because somehow I just knew he was right.
