Yo, minna! Back again with another chapter! Hehe, I hope this turns into a good fic. I have some ideas for the upcoming chapters, so don't worry! Also, In my last chapter, I made an error. The sentence reads: "I might find that someone special someday, but I know it was Paris." It sort of contradicts itself there, heh. The last "was" should be "wasn't." Thanks to PJ-san for pointing this out. Anyways, READ ON!
Disclaimer: you know how it goes.
December Snowflakes -- Chapter 2
Goten touched down softly in front of Capsule Corp. He looked down into the snow as he walked toward the entrance. He noticed footprints all the way to the door. His friends' footprints. He tried to figure out who's whose footprints, and quickly picked out Trunks'. After a couple seconds, he figured out Pan's and Marron's. His foot stopped at the last set to be discovered.
Wow, her feet are pretty small compared to mine.
Goten looked at his footprint next to Bra's. Her foot was about half the size of his and he zoned off with the thought of Bra. Goten must have sat there for a couple minutes before he heard a voice.
"Goten-kun, come out of the cold!"
Goten looked up to gaze into the eyes of Bra. He smiled at the twinkle in her eye and followed her indoors. She bounced happily in front of him as they walked into the living room, where the other three sat, drinking hot chocolate. Goten smirked.
"I though we were going skating, guys?" He asked the others. Trunks looked up and chuckled a bit.
"We thought we'd warm ourselves up a bit first," Trunks said. Goten looked for a seat. Trunks and Marron sat together on one couch while Pan sat in the large recliner in the corner. The only spot left was next to Bra, who was seated alone on the other couch. Goten cheered in his mind for some reason.
"Hey B-chan," Goten said, "Mind if I sit next to you?"
Bra's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know why.
"Sure, Goten-kun!" Bra said. Goten sat down next to her, casually putting an arm on the back of the couch. Bra blushed a bit.
Bra thought to herself, Why am I blushing? It's not like I like Goten or anything... is it? Okay okay... so maybe I have a little crush on him. But that's it. I'm sure that's it. Am I sure that's it?
Am I sure that's it?
Goten glanced at Bra. Wow, she looks deep in thought, Goten thought, Yeah but why is she grinning like that? He smiled at her. She looks cute when she's thinking.
Bra came out of her phase and tried to steal a glance at Goten without him knowing. Unfortunately, Goten was already glancing at her.
Two pairs of eyes met. One black, the other blue. Only for a fraction of a second did they meet, but that fraction was enough to send electricity through both people. Goten looked away first. He blushed.
Bra looked away, too, but stole another glance when she knew Goten was looking away. He's blushing. He looks cute when he's blushing. Hehe Goten! You cute little baka!
Bra sighed and smiled. Goten looked at Trunks and Marron, who were chuckling a bit at the two on the other couch. Goten gave Trunks a questioning look, but he was only met with a sly grin at the other end. Goten thought to himself.
Trunks, what are you grinning at, buddy? I didn't do anything wrong, did I? Hehe all I did was look into B-chan's eyes. Those pretty eyes. Those enchanting eyes. Those eyes are beautiful. B-chan is beautiful. But... she would never like a guy like me.
Goten frowned. Bra looked at him and wondered why. She dismissed it for something unimportant and got up.
"Well, guys," she started, "let's get our skates and go!" Everyone got up and went to the extremely huge Capsule Corp closet. Trunks and Goten picked up a pair of hockey skates, while the girls settled for normal figure skates. They walked to the door and out into the cold.
After a little ways, they decided to take off. Bra and Goten went first, followed by Marron in Trunks' arms and Pan flying behind. Goten thought as he flew.
I bet B-chan has a boyfriend. What would she see in a guy like me? Nothing. I should just give up now. I mean, I don't have a chance with her. She wouldn't like a guy like me. I'm just a normal guy. Not worthy of her.
Goten wasn't the only one thinking. Bra was also pondering about someone. She smiled as she flew, thinking of that one guy.
Behind Bra and Goten flew Trunks and Marron. Marron grasped onto Trunks' neck, looking at everything below. Trunks smirked as Marron looked up into his eyes. A quick kiss followed, and both hoped no one had seen.
"We have to tell everyone, soon, Trunks," Marron stated. Trunks just nodded. He knew they had to tell everyone. They certainly couldn't keep it a secret forever. The two smiled at each other and started to converse once more.
"Trunks, did you see the way Bra was looking at Goten back at your place?" Marron asked her boyfriend. Trunks nodded and smirked.
"And Goten looking at Bra?" Trunks asked, too. Both smiled and both knew. They would try to get them together any way they could.

The five touched down near the frozen lake, skates in hand. They trotted over to the edge and slipped off their shoes. Soon the skates were on and four people were skating on the lake. Goten looked embarrassed and sat on the edge for a moment, watching everyone. Bra looked over at Goten and noticed his humiliated look. She chuckled and skated over.
"Goten-kun, what's wrong?" she asked. Goten looked up and chuckled a bit.
"Well," Goten started, "I can't skate very well. I've tried once..." He tried to hide his face, but Bra would have none of that. She quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him onto the ice. Goten tried to stand up, but only to fall onto his ass. Bra laughed.
"Goten-kun!" Bra said, "Come on! Get up!"
"I.. I can't, B-chan!" Goten pleaded.
"Sure you can!" Bra encouraged. She helped poor Goten to his feet.
"Thanks, B-chan..." Goten, still embarrassed, said to Bra. She grabbed his hands and Goten's heart started to race. She pulled him ever so slightly on the ice to get him started. Goten started flailing his legs all over. Bra couldn't help but laugh.
Goten fell on his ass again. Bra helped him up and pulled him along once again. On the other side of the lake, Trunks and Marron noticed Bra and Goten.
"She looks to really like Goten, ne?" Marron asked Trunks. Trunks nodded. He smiled at the two friends on the other side. He looked at Marron and planted a quick kiss on her cheek. Marron blushed.
"Trunks-kun...!" Marron said, "Not here!"
"Sorry, babe!" Trunks apologized, "I can't help it! You're so beautiful!"
Marron blushed.
Goten tried to stop himself from flying off the edge of the lake. Unfortunately, he couldn't, and he took Bra crashing into the snow banks.
"Owww..." Goten cried as he held the back of his head. He then noticed someone laying on top of him. He opened his eyes to see Bra looking back into them. Both were enveloped in each other.
Bra blushed and got up.
"Gomen, Goten-kun..." Bra said.
"Iie. Gomen, B-chan," Goten replied. They looked into each other's eyes and blushed again.
...so cute... Goten thought.
...how kawaii... Bra thought.
They went back to skating, but not forgetting the moment they both shared.

Well, there's chapter two. Chapter three should be out soon, so don't worry. And it will get to be more of a romance next chapter! Ja, minna!
