Thank you for those who reviewed the last chapter.

Deal
Dende had stood by her throughout the whole time and she was glad, beyond believe. For if it wasn't for him, she knew, she wouldn't be fortunate enough to receive, in any way, such a wonderful task. Her parents, through some long and excruciating conference, had agreed to allow the two to date. Like all plans, it came with a consequence. It held one condition that may result in changing her future forever, whether it may be for the worse or the better.
Marron stood in front of her large mirror, smiling in satisfaction of her dress. It was a shade of ocean blue with straps on her shoulders. The dress flowed down to her knees and she had on a matching heels with straps circling her ankles. Her hair was gracefully placed in a bun with several waving strands falling loosely, framing her angelic face.
Watching her reflection, her mind began to wander off to her parents' ordeal. After her parents found out about the bond, they kicked her out of the room, where she waited agonizingly, for the result in the hallway. When she was called back, she meekly entered and awaited their verdict. What came out of their mouths was very unexpected. They told her to go on a date tonight as a test to confirm whether or not if he was fit to be bonded with her. If not, they would find a way to terminate the bond, probably ask Vegeta on that area.
She sighed.
Yesterday, was not just another day
Not like before
Then her visage gradually creased to a content one as she remembered Goten grabbing the proposition in an instant. He had said if this was the only way to prove to them, then he'll gladly accept their proposal. She quickly came back to reality when a sound was heard in the front door, knowing well enough he was here, and right on schedule.
'Score one for us and zero for them,' she thought, all the while, hastily running to the door. She ignored her parents disapproving looks of being unlady-like, and ran into his open arms.
Yesterday, I saw your smilin' face
Love walked through, my door
"Remember, hon, don't do anything I wouldn't do and be home by 11!"
"Yes, daddy dearest," she said, while pushing Goten away from the closed door, not wanting to waste anymore time. If she were to end up separated from him, she wanted to make sure tonight would be a night to remember.
"Don't worry," he chuckled, taking air, "It will be. I heard there's a amusement park that just opened up and we're heading straight over there." He smiled in content when he felt her snuggle deeper into his arms, glad she was over her fear of being airborne.
One precious moment
Changed my life
Soon they touched ground and sauntered over to the park, enjoying the fresh, warm breeze. The lights from the park, glistening in the evening, added a romantic atmosphere for them to enjoy. They rode on every rides possible, mostly ones that were using speed. The evening soon joined to a closure when the stars started coming out, glistening in the black night. They soon found themselves laughing out of sheer contentment after coming out from a roller coaster ride, (A.N.: Hehe, those are the best!) while finding a seat nearby. Marron's laugh was the first to subside and soon Goten joined her. He noticed she was looking straight ahead, and, curious, he followed her gaze to find that she was watching some children playing, mostly running around a beautiful fountain, with various lights highlighting the waters. Their childish games were abruptly halted when their parents came giving each an ice cream cones, while taking them to another ride.
It was then, he noticed how the lights from the fountain reflecting her made her form look more angelic. He had a sudden urge to kiss her right then and assure her that her dream of having little Marrons and Gotens running loose with white picket fences surround their yard would come true.
One tender kiss
Made everything right
Albeit, the air was cooling and relaxing, Marron couldn't help, but snuggle deeper into his arms, her head resting on his muscular chest.
One touch from you
And this world was mine
It was in your arms where I found forever
Like all things, it must come to an end as a biker gang saunter arrogantly, over to their bench. Goten couldn't help but pull Marron closer to him, protectively. All clad in leather jackets, a couple went to his left sides. One of them extended his arm, making a fist vertically, attempting to make peace. Goten's narrowed his eyes, then he felt a sudden force pulled from his other side and quickly averted his gaze.
His eyes widened. "Marron!" he exclaimed, while being locked into a sitting position by the previous guys.
Marron, in the other hand, was being pushed back and forth, like a ping pong ball by two muscular men. Then, into the arms of what she assumed to be their leader. He had gel back his raven hair and underneath that sunglass, she could tell, it was showing one of amusement on the current situation. Their faces were just a foot apart and she couldn't help, but hold her breath.
'Jeez, doesn't this guy ever heard of a tic-tac.' She grimace when he opened his mouth to say something. 'Scratch that, make that a mouth wash.'
"Hey little lady. Why don't you ditch that pint size of a boyfriend and come with me?" he huskily said, gesturing Goten from behind her.
Her visage change into one of disbelief. 'Why do these punks always come up with the same cliché? Can't they think of anything new to say?' she thought, still held firmly in his grasp.
"I'll show you a great time," he added in a sing-song tone.
'Apparently not,' she sighed. "So where did you learn to come up with that, huh? Pick-up Lines for Dummies?" she smirked.
"Hey boss, are you going to let her talk to you like that?" said one of his men.
"Shut up you fools, of course I am," he shouted, attempting to wipe away his initial shock at her bold reply and hoping against all hope not one caught it. Unfortunately for him, Marron did and so did Goten. "She'll be dealt with as soon as we finish off her boyfriend," he said, attempting to make that smirk of hers disappear and, at least, into one of shock, anger, afraid, anything. Her visage never changes, which made him more irritated and confuse. "What is wrong with you? Don't you care about what we're about to do with him?" he gestured to the man behind her. "Never mind, she'll regret the day she made that remark. Boys, get to work."
The men gradually moved in, attempting to agitate their unlucky captives, with knifes, clubs and any sort of weaponry they had on, which were now firmly gripped in their hand.
Cried my first tears of joy, last night
Heaven shined a light
Suddenly, their captive disappear and soon every men were kissing the ground, with their wind knocked out of them. The leader's mouth flew agape, observing the scene before him. Every one of them lying on the ground, their body twitching at the pain inflicted by…what? All he could see was a gust of wind before one of them lay flat on the ground.
All my dreams came true
My first night with you
Fear soon plague him and he came with the only conclusion he could come up with. He started thrashing his arms wildly in the air, hoping to lay a hit on this unseen enemy. Only to have his eyes almost popping out of their sockets when he felt a strong force punched him in his abdomen. Soon, he was joined by his friends.
I felt the sun
Shine so bright on me
Albeit, she knew who would be the victor, she still couldn't help but to feel overjoyed when she found him as the only one standing. She hastily ran into his arms and, over the mounted bodies, they went toward the nearby beach.
Chased the rain from my heart
Through the storm
Through the darkest night
I found my brightest star
Once they reach there, Marron could have sworn she saw a mischievous glint in Goten's eyes.
One magic moment
Made one magic night
I fell in love
With one look in your eyes baby
Soon enough, he picked her up and saunter over to the sea where they stood romantically, watching the beautiful scene before them. Then, out of nowhere, she was dumped into the waters.
I never knew I could feel so loved
Darling, in your arms
I could feel forever
"GOTEN!" she called out, thrashing about in the waters. "I should've known you would do something like this when I saw that glint in your eyes."
Goten came chuckling and extended his arms for her. "Heh, sorry babe, it just seems like the right moment."
She stopped her thrashing when she realized she could sit on the sandy waters. " 'The right moment'? We were having a romantic atmosphere and you ruined it!" she exclaimed, pretending she was angry at him.
Goten, however, hadn't caught on and he started pondering on an apology. If he had been paying attention at that moment, he would have realize the mischievous smile Marron gave before pulling him into the waters.
One precious moment
Changed my life
They playfully splash waters against each other, ensuing in a water war. Once the game died down, they rest on the shore. Goten laid on the sand, while Marron, finding comfort on his chest, laid her head on top of him. Marron looked up into Goten's face, a smile plaster on her face, showing what a great time she was having.
At that moment, he couldn't hold it in any longer. He gently laid his hand on her cheek and lean in, capturing her lips. He was glad when he felt her responding, instead of leaving him in the cold.
One tender kiss
Made everything right
One touch from you
And this world was mine
It was in your arms babe
Where I found forever and ever
~*~
Inside the pink house, Android 18 sat restless on the couch, occasionally glancing at the clock, hanging on the nearby wall.
It was coming close to their curfew and still no signs of them.
~*~
As dawn approaches, the light emitting from the sun woke the blonde pigtail up. She sat up groggily, looking at her surroundings before her eyes lay upon the man next to her. She smiled.
Cried my first tears of joy, last night (last night I cried)
Heaven shined a light [Heaven shined a light]
Suddenly, her instincts told her to look at her watch, which she obeyed. She couldn't believe her eyes, it was closing in on six. She hurriedly shook the sleeping man awake.
Goten awoke to a fearful-looking Marron. "What's the matter?"
"We're suppose to be home by eleven, yesterday," she said.
That was all he needed to hear before scooping her up and taking flight at maximum speed, heading straight for the Kame House.
~*~
Krillen stepped into the living room where he smiled, watching Juuachigou sleep, soundlessly. Usually, she was the one who wakes up first, but last night, albeit he tried persuading her to go to bed, she wouldn't budge until a certain blonde step through the front door. He made the mistake of suggesting herself to step through the door, but that only bought upon a very heaved Juuachigou, glaring straight towards him. After that, he quickly left the room, not wanting to bought an Armageddon upon the island. He quietly, tiptoed over to her sleeping form and kissed her on the forehead.
Juuachigou eyelids fluttered open to reveal blue eyes staring into black ones. She smiled, but it ceased to stretch any further when she notice it was morning. "Where is she?"
Krillen's brows furrowed. "Where's who, honey?"
"Marron, who else! Did she come home last night?"
"You mean you don't know?" he said, confusion clearly etched in his voice.
At this point, her eyes turned into daggers and she growled in a dangerously low voice, saying one word, all the while, turning her husband's spine into icicle. "Son Goten."
~*~
"Aachoo!"
"Bless you"
"I think someone's talking bad about me," Goten said.
Marron glanced at her watch for what seems like the fifteenth time. "Goten, they're probably awake by now. I don't think we'll make it before they notice I'm still gone."
"We'll make it," he comforted, turning into a super saiya-jin. "Don't worry because we just have to make it." Soon he heard a squeal of joy from the person in his arms and when he looked up, he saw the reason why. Up ahead, the pink Kame House was in sight. Still, he couldn't help but feel a little edgy. If they got caught, Juuachigou would…Hell, he didn't want to think what she'll do to him if they got caught. He silently pray for Dende to help them through this. 'Please, please, Dende…'
~*~
'Don't make me suffer. Be kind, Dende.' Krillen prayed. He tried calming his wife. "I'm sure Marron's in her room sound asleep."
"Well, then. what are we waiting for? Let's go check," she said, walking towards the staircase.
~*~
Just outside her bedroom window, Marron bid farewell to Goten. "Thanks for everything. I'll let you know how everything turns out later." she whispered.
"You don't need to. You keep forgetting that we're bonded, remember? Now hurry and go in before they walk into this room," he said, ready to levitate her, but she stopped him from going any further.
"Don't worry about me, I can climb up to my room," she said, gesturing to her vine latter, hanging on the wall of the house. "It's crucial for you to worry about getting home before someone notice that you were gone," she said. "Goku might not care, but if Chi-Chi finds out, she will call my parents."
Before he left, he gave her a quick kiss and flew away, knowing that one of her parents was already on his way to her room by detecting Krillen's ki.
All my dreams came true
Cried my first tears of joy, last night (cried, tears, shined)
Heaven shined a light
~*~
Knock, knock
No answer.
Getting agitated by this, Juuachigou opened the door and entered the room with Krillen in tow. What presented before them would have made any parents happy if not for the deal they were in. Before them laid Marron's bed neatly made. In another words, it look like no one slept on it last night.
She growled. "She didn't come home last night!" she exclaimed, averting her gaze to her husband, searching for an answer.
Krillen didn't know what to say. His visage was one of nervousness and at the moment, he froze. 'Dende, you can be so cruel sometimes.'
"What are you guys arguing about?"
Both froze and averted their attention to the source of the voice. They saw Marron, standing next to her bathroom door, dressed in a pink robe with a toothbrush in her hand.
Juuachigou eventually spoke, "We…we didn't hear you come home last night."
"I was…very quiet."
"Yeah, apparently. And you even made your bed," Krillen noted happily.
"So…does this mean I can still date Goten?" she smiled sweetly at them.
"Yes, you guys deserve it," Juuachigou said, walking to the door. "I guess we'll leave you to your daily routines."
After they left, Marron closed the door behind them and slide down to the ground. "Thank you, Dende."
All my dreams came true
My first night with you.
The end.
