So, to start you all off, I wanted to introduce the one who originally planned this story, BarbieGirl82! She came to me with a plot, and I got to work.
What you see is what came of her plans, so I hope you enjoy this fun adventure piece!
I don't own DBZ stuff.
A baseball flies through the air and Son Goku stops its motion with a swift catch. He throws it into the air a few times before sending it back to his son who is hovering above the ground several meters away.
Goten catches it again and the energy from the ball throws him a few feet back. A smile spreads across his face.
"Man dad, I felt the force on that throw! You aren't holding back, are you!?"
Goku laughed.
"Maybe a little, want a harder throw this time!?" He yells to his son from across the field.
"Sure! Gimme everything you've got!" Goten answered cheerfully.
"Alright, be careful what you ask for!"
Goku powered up, and while he started to transform, Trunks jogged over to his best friend and powers up himself, catching the ball before Goten has a chance to reach for it.
"Trunks! I wanted to catch that!" He complained.
Trunks chuckled, "Then you should've seen me coming, dude."
Along with Trunks came his sister, Bra, then Pan and Marron.
Goten's eyes lingered on Marron for a moment before Trunks decided to throw the baseball back to him.
"Earth to Goten – Catch!"
Goten was able to focus on the throw at the last second, catching the ball one-handed.
"Nice try, Trunks."
Trunks smirked and shrugged, walking over to bump fists with his best friend. The girls followed behind him, and Marron went to Goten's side, smiling and pulling him in for a sweet hug.
"Hi," Marron greeted, a blush creeping up on her already rosy cheeks.
"H-hey, Marron," he said back, pulling her in tighter.
Trunks turned to his sister and imitated gagging, to which she and Pan started laughing.
It was Goten's turn to blush now, glaring at his friends as Goku made his way over to the teens.
Goku gave a knowing smile to his son, before he turned to Trunks.
"Hey, you kids waddaya say we have a race? Whoever makes it to Capsule Corp first gets the first batch of Bulma's dinner biscuits!" Goku said giddily, already taking his place.
Trunks mirrored Goku's stance, and then the girls followed suit.
"You are so on, Uncle Goku. Let's go!" Trunks exclaimed, and seconds later they were off, leaving Marron and Goten in the park by themselves.
The couple glanced at each other and blushed before looking down at the ground. They had just declared two days ago that they were officially dating, and the puppy love was fresh and evident in the pair as they both looked down at the ground with embarrassment.
Goten was the first to break their awkward silence.
"Let's go for a walk to get ice cream!" Goten told her enthusiastically.
She lifted her head and beamed at the suggestion.
"Sounds good to me!"
She grabbed his hand and they were off and ready for scoops of strawberry and chocolate.
As the pair ate their desserts, Marron told Goten about her day.
"Alright, so me and Bra went to the mall today, and we saw this keychain, and thought of you…so I got it for you," Marron said as Goten ate his ice cream. He watched her reach into her pocket and pull out a bird-shaped figure and handed it to him.
Marron knew how much he loved animals, and one of his favorites were Jiji birds.
"Gee, Marron, I love it. Thanks!" He told her happily.
Goten looked it over, noticing how detailed the wings were before putting it into his own pocket for safe keeping.
When they finished their treat, they walked out of the shop, hand in hand as they made their way to Marron's house since it was now late and he was starving.
"I'm glad the gang let us hang out, just the two of us. I had a great time with you," she said grinning.
"Likewise. I'm glad you're my g-girlfriend now too."
"Yeah! This is gonna be fun!" Marron answered excitedly as they rounded the corner that led to her house.
Before they got to the door, Goten pulled her into his arms and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. He pulled away and immediately turned red.
"Aww, Goten. Thank you," she gushed, pulling him back in, much to his surprise and planted a big kiss-right on his lips.
Ever the affectionate one in their group, Marron was hardly fearful of giving her significant other tender kisses and hugs.
She really-really liked Goten and wanted him to know it!
He was still shocked, but she started walking away before he had a chance to fully recover.
"Bye, Goten. Thank you for walking me home. I'll see you tomorrow," She told him, and he waved goodbye as they parted.
She turned around and blew him a kiss before heading inside and greeting her parents for dinner.
Goten whistled happily as he took to the sky, ready for a meal over at Trunk's house. He was sure they would still have food for him, and as he thought about his dinner, he didn't notice the menacing, cold glare he received from behind a nearby house before he took flight.
The being watched Goten fly off and crossed it's arms, smirking.
I'll get you yet, boy. Soon, you will be mine.
