I know you guys are gonna love this one.
A week later, Marron, Trunks, and Bra stepped out of Trunks' car in the airport parking lot. Marron swung her overnight bag over her shoulder and silently, the three walked into the airport. Krillin and Juuhachigou stepped out of the car behind them and followed them.
The stewardess called Marron's flight over the loudspeaker, and she gave her parents and friends hugs.
"I'll see you guys next Saturday. My flight comes in at four. Bye guys." And with a wave, she boarded the plane.
………………………………...
Goten smiled as the loudspeaker announced that the flight from Japan was now landing. He had a dozen roses in his hand. The gate opened, and passengers started filing out. After about twenty people had got off the plane, Goten saw a flash of gold.
"Marron!" he yelled.
Ten seconds later, she stood twenty feet away from him, a big smirk on her face. She dropped her bag and ran into his arms. He lifted her up and spun her around a few times.
"I missed you," he whispered, kissing the top of her head. "And I got you these." He handed her the roses.
"Oh, Goten. These are beautiful. And I missed you more." She stood on tiptoe and gave him a kiss.
When the kiss ended, he smiled at her. "Whatever you say, babe. Come on, get your bag, and let's go."
………………………………...
Goten unlocked the door to his apartment, and Marron gasped when she walked in. She was in a small, rectangular room, and one wall was a complete window, from ceiling to floor. Another wall had a black leather couch pushed up against it, and yet another had a matching recliner.
"Goten, this is beautiful," she breathed.
He smiled and led her over to the windowed wall. It was night, and he pointed outside, where thousands of silver stars glittered the midnight blue sky. The full moon was positioned in the middle of all the stars, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. "That's the whole reason I moved in here," he whispered in her ear. "It reminded me of you."
She shot him a puzzled look. "Me?"
"Yeah. The stars reminded me of you. I don't know why though."
"Me neither." She yawned.
"You tired, babe?" he asked. "Go to bed. We can talk more in the morning."
She shook her head. "I'm okay. It's beautiful here."
Goten nodded. "Yeah, it is." He led her over to the couch, where he sat down and pulled her into his lap. ""How're things at home?"
She laid her head on his shoulder. "They're boring without you. Nothing's the same. It's funny how you can change everything so much." She smirked.
"Is that so? What else has been going on?"
"Nothing. But can I ask you something?"
He nodded.
"You've been here for close to a month now. Did you ever get the feeling you might meet someone else? Someone that you would love more than me?"
He fingered her hair. "No. Why? Did you- you didn't. Did you?"
"Oh, no! It's not like that! I just get… worried sometimes that you'll meet someone here, and you'll realize that she's better than me. And I get worried that you'll fall in love with someone else. I can't help it," she admitted, sliding off his lap and snuggling up next to him.
He wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "Like that would ever happen. I'm not going to meet someone I love more than you. It's impossible."
She smiled sleepily. "That's good." She yawned before her eyelids closed.
………………………………...
Carefully, as not to disturb her, Goten lifted Marron off the couch and carried her to his bedroom. He laid her on the bed and covered her with a blanket. He kissed her softly on the cheek and fished around in the closet for a pillow and blanket. After finding them, he went back into the living room and slept on the couch.
………………………………...
Marron woke up in a different room. She was in the middle of a soft bed, with a blue blanket over her. The walls were a soft gray, and there was a window on three of them. A small dresser with a mirror framing it was across the room, and according to the digital clock on it, it was 2pm.
She carefully stepped out of the bed and made her way to the door. She wandered into a small hallway that led to a kitchen. A light was on in the kitchen, so she made her way into the bright room.
Goten was in there, flipping pancakes in an apron, whistling to himself. Marron couldn't help but laugh.
Blushing, Goten turned around and smiled. "Morning babe. Want breakfast?"
"Goten, it's the middle of the afternoon. I think we missed it by about three hours," she pointed out.
"I'll never get used to this stupid time difference. So to me, whenever I wake up is breakfast time. So, do you want some pancakes?" He shot her a smile.
She yawned. "They better be chocolate chip, or I'm not eating them."
He put two pancakes on a plate. "I know you too well, don't I?"
