The last time in "The Lost Warrior":

Mrs. and Mr. Collin greeted Jenny, as she went into the house. "Hello Jenny! And? How was it?" her mother asked her.

"Great!"

"And where have you been?" Jenny's father wanted to know.

"Tom found a lake in a forest, don't ask me where, and there we had a great time. But now I'm tired and I still have to do some homework. So, excuse me please." With that Jenny went upstairs and quickly made her homework. After she finished her homework, she went downstairs to say goodnight to her parents and went to bed. Her last thought before she drifted to sleep was how incredible this day had been.

Chapter 9: "Telling The Truth"

As Goten woke up, he still didn't know if he should tell Shana about him, his family and friends. He thought about it the whole night. So he decided first to talk with his father and his brother about it. He hoped that they knew what to do. The boy got up, took a shower and then went into the living room, where Goku and Gohan were sitting and talking. 'Good, both of them are here,' he thought. "Morning," Goten greeted the other male members of his family.

"Morning Goten!" Goku greeted him cheerfully.

"Morning bro! What's up? You look so … I don't know … so serious. Is everything alright?"

"Can I talk to you? It's important."

"Sure, come on! Sit down," his father told him.

"Thanx. Ok, how should I begin? There's a girl in my school. And I … oh Dende … I fell in love with her. And she with me. But there's more…. I think, no, I know that we've bonded, too. Like Trunks and Jenny. And now I don't know what I shall do."

"It's, one moment, what was her name? Shana, right?" Goku asked his youngest grinning.

"Yeah, but where do you know that from?"

"Fathers know these things."

"Goten, are you really sure that you two have bonded?" Gohan brother nodded.

"Yesterday in the cinema I looked at her and thought, how I could tell her everything. And she suddenly asked what I could tell her."

"So she could hear your thoughts. And that means you're definitely bonded to her," Gohan stated thoughtful.

"And what shall I do now? I mean, shall I tell her everything about us?"

Goku and Gohan thought for a moment and then Goku stood up and patted his youngest on his shoulder. "I think the best thing you can do now is to listen to your heart. Don't you think so Gohan?" The young man nodded.

Goten sighed of relief. "Ok, then I'll go now and tell her. I hope she'll believe me."

"Don't worry, when she really loves you, then she'll believe you," his father told him.

"Thank you… to both of you." Goten said before he left.

About 20 minutes later Goten stopped his black VW Golf in front of the house where Shana lived. He got out of the car and pushed the doorbell. Shana's mother opened the door. "Good morning Mrs. Fehr. How are you?"

"Oh, hello Glenn. I'm fine, come in. I'll tell Shana that you're here. You can take a seat in the living room. Do you want something to drink, or to eat?"

"No, thank you," Goten told Shana's mother, as he sat down on the couch in the living room.

"Ok, I'll go then and tell Shana." A few minutes later Shana entered the living room.

"Hi Glenn!" Goten quickly walked towards her and pulled her in an embrace.

"Hello Shana. I've missed you."

"Glenn, the last time we saw us was yesterday evening. How can you miss me after such a short time?" she asked him laughing.

"I don't know," he answered also laughing.

"Ok, and what are you doing here, besides that you missed me?"

Suddenly Goten got serious. "Can we go for a walk? I have to tell you something. Something important."

Shana pulled apart, startled by his sudden seriousness. "You won't break up with me, won't you?" she asked worried.

"No, I won't. Don't be afraid. Can we go now?"

"Ok." Shana took her jacket and so they went for a walk.

After they walked for about 10 minutes in silence, Shana got impatient and stopped. "Glenn, we walked now for I don't know how long and you didn't say anything. I thought there was something you had to tell me."

"There is something, … but it's not that easy." Goten spotted a nearby bench. "Let's sit down and then I'll tell you." Shana nodded and they went to the bench and sat down. "Ok, first of all I must tell you that it would be hard to believe what I'll tell you. But you must trust me. I swear by god that this is the truth."

'Oh my god. What could be so important that he hold this speech before he begins?' Shana thought. Goten could hear her thought but decided not to react to it, because he didn't want to confuse her with that now.

"Can I start?" he asked her and she nodded. "Ok, you know that Tom and me aren't from here. You maybe think that we're from another Land or from another country. But that's not completely right. The truth is, yes we aren't from here, but we come from another dimension. I know it is really hard to believe, but it's true. We were sent here by our god Dende to look for my twin sister, who was taken by gods who are more important than Dende and sent to this dimension even before she was born. So she has got her own parents in this dimension and didn't know anything about us. We should look for her, because she will need our help in a battle that will take place in about one year. But that's not all. Trunks' father and my father… "

"Trunks? Who's that?"

"Oh, sorry, Trunks is Tom's real name. My family and friends all got different names here."

"So, Glenn isn't your real name?"

"My real name is Goten."

"Goten, aha."

"Can I go on?" Shana nodded. "Ok, mmmh, where was I? Oh yeah. So, our fathers are from an alien race called Saiyajins. The Saiyajins are, or better were, because their planet was destroyed, a warrior race. My father came to the earth in our dimension as a child with the mission to destroy the planet. But luckily he bumped his head and forgot his mission. My grandfather Gohan, who gave him the name Goku, found him. My grandfather died and Goku met Trunks' mother Bulma, as he was about 12 years old. They soon became best friends and experienced many adventures on the search for the Dragonballs. Dragonball are 7 magic spheres. When you got all of them, the eternal dragon Shenlong will appear and fulfill you a wish. On this adventures my father met my mother ChiChi. Years later, as my dad was already married to my mom and they already had one son, my brother Gohan, who was named after my grandfather, another Saiyan came to earth with the mission to destroy it and told my father about his Saiyajin-heritage before he was killed. About one year later two other Saiyans arrived to destroy my father and the earth and to find the Dragonballs. One of them was Vegeta, the Prince of all Saiyans. He is the father of Trunks. During the battle against the two, Vegeta killed his own companion and later was beaten by the warriors of our dimension, but not killed. He fled with his spaceship to planet Namek, to find the Namek-Dragonballs. On this planet was at this time a powerful being named Frieza, who destroyed hundreds of other planets."

"Sorry that I interrupt you… But why did Vegeta want to have the Dragonballs?"

"Vegeta wanted to wish for immortality so that he could kill Frieza. You must know, Frieza captured him as he was a small boy and then destroyed his planet. He had a terrible childhood on Frieza's ship, I'm sure, though he doesn't talk about it. He was raised to kill and the only thing that couldn't be broken by Frieza was his pride. But now back to Namek. Bulma, Gohan and another warrior and good friend of my dad, Krillin, went to Namek to find their Dragonballs, too, because in the fight on earth three of our warriors were killed, including the one without whom the Earth-Dragonballs ceased to exist. They wanted to wish them back to life. My dad followed them and after Vegeta was killed by Frieza, my father fought with him. But Krillin was killed by Frieza and that made my dad very angry. The anger took control and so my father transformed into the legendary Super Saiyajin. So, he killed Frieza easily and all who were killed by Frieza and the Saiyajins were resurrect with the Dragonballs of Namek. Under them was Vegeta and Bulma invited him to stay at her house, because it was big enough and he had nowhere to go. In the next years Vegeta trained there, because he wanted to become a Super Saiyajin, too and he wanted to be prepared for a threat a young boy from the future, who happened to be no one else as the future version of Trunks, warned them against. In this time Bulma and Vegeta fell in love and bonded and Trunks was born. I was born about nine month after my dad died in the battle the Future Trunks told us about, but he was brought back to live 7 years later because of a new threat." Goten exhaled slowly. "I think that I've told you now the most important facts of me, my family and my friends," he said and then looked at Shana.

There were a few minutes of silence between them, which seemed like hours to Goten until Shana finally said something. "And now you want me to believe what you've just told me, right?" Goten nodded. "Prove it," she said calmly.

"What?"

"Prove it. Show me something that will make me believe these things."

He looked around and saw no one. He sighed. "Ok, I told you about my dad becoming a Super Saiyajin. Not only he can become one. Vegeta, Trunks, Gohan and I can do it, too. I'll show you." He walked a few steps away from her and powered up and with a scream a golden aura surrounded him and his hair was blond and his eyes teal. As he saw the look on Shana's face he powered down.

"Oh my god." She was speechless. Goten walked towards her and embraced her.

"Are you ok?"

"I think so. It's just a bit overwhelming, I mean, not everyone got an alien as boyfriend."

"Half-alien."

"What?"

"I'm just half-alien. My other half is human. And there are 5 People who got an alien or half-alien as boyfriend."

"Oh you!" She punched his upper arm.

"Ouch!" Goten shouted laughing.

"Don't pretend it hurts, because from what you told me I know that it doesn't hurt!" She laughed too.

After a while they sat back down on the bench. "Does Jenny know about you?"

Goten nodded. "We told her yesterday."

"And how did she react?"

"She didn't want to believe the whole story, but then Trunks decided to show her everything and opened his heart and mind for her through their bond."

"What does that mean through their bond? Do we have one?"

"Yes, there's bond between us. When a Saiyajin bonds with someone then they share this bond till eternity. They are able to read the others thoughts and feel their feelings. They know exactly when something's wrong with their partner and when they deny the bond, both of them will suffer and they will slowly get killed."

"And what does that mean to you and me?"

"That means that you are stuck with me forever," Goten told her with his goofy Son-grin.

"Great, I can't wait," Shana answered sarcastically which caused a tickle attack from Goten.

"Hey, stop!" She struggled laughing and tried to get free, but both of them fall from the bench on the floor.

"But now let's get serious," Shana told Goten as they got up. "Why didn't you show me these things through the bond?"

"I didn't do this because it was too exhausting for Jenny and I didn't want to do this to you. And it was a bit more complicated for her, because she had to digest more than you."

"Why?"

"Because Vegeta found out yesterday morning, that she's the one we were looking for the whole time."

"Really? She's your sister? God, I've never thought she could be half-alien. But I wonder how she could have been so carefree yesterday evening."

"I think she's pretty good in hiding her true emotions. But even though she doesn't tell us how she feels, Trunks knows it."

"That's good. I can imagine that it must be pretty hard for her. You suddenly get to know your real family and then someone tells you such a story. And how do you feel? You must be happy that you finally found her," Shana said leaning her head at his shoulder.

"Yes I am, and I am happy that it's her and not someone I can't stand." He put his arm around her and pulled her closer.

They sat there like this for about half an hour as Shana suddenly heard Goten's stomach growl. "Let me guess. That's a Saiyajin thing, too. Jenny is also very often hungry," the girl said laughing.

"You're right. No one can eat as much as we Saiyajins," the half-Saiyajin told her.

"Ok, but now let's go and satisfy your stomach… I bet my mother got some cake for us."

"Very good. What are we waiting for?" Goten said and picked Shana up and ran in the direction were her house his.

"Hey! Put me down! I can walk on my own!"

"No way! I like holding you in my arms!" he quickly said and shut her up by kissing her.

After eating cake with Shana and her parents, Goten decided to go home, because he still had some homework to do, and Shana brought him to the door. "You're lucky. My parents really like you," she said smiling.

"Good, because, when you're stuck with me, they have to like me," Goten answered and gave her a goodbye kiss.

"Goodnight, see you tomorrow!"

"Goodnight. Have sweet dreams."

"Ok, then I won't dream of you," the boy told her smirking.

"Somehow I wonder why I could fall in love with you." Shana tried to act seriously but failed miserably as Goten told her that she fell in love with him, because he's irresistible and putted on his trademark Son-grin, while he was getting in his car.

As he arrived home, he could feel his dad and his brother sparring in the backyard, so he went there. Both of them stopped, as they sensed Goten's ki approaching them. "Hey Goten!"

"Hi bro! And? Did you tell her?"

"Hello you two. Yes, I told her."

"And how did she take it?" his father asked him.

"Well, she took it well. Better than I thought. I had to prove it to her by becoming a Super Saiyajin, but she believes me now. I can almost say, that everything's back to normal between us."

"That's fine."

"By the way, is Trunks home yet?"

"Yeah, he just arrived a few minutes ago," Goku told him.

"Great. Then I'm going to him. See ya later!" he waved and ran into the house to the Briefs apartment.

He knocked and Vegeta opened him. "What do you want brat of Kakarotto?"

"Hello to you, too. I want to Trunks. Is he at home?" Vegeta went a step aside, a sign for Goten to come in.

"He's in his room."

"Thank you Vegeta," the boy said and went to Trunks room. "Hey Trunks, can I come in?"

"Sure, the door is open."

Goten walked over to his friend. "What are you doing?"

"Trying to paint this stupid picture we had to do till tomorrow. Did you already finish it?"

"Yep, I finished it already in school last Monday."

"You're lucky."

"Yep, I think so, too. Now tell me. How was your day with Jenny?"

"Great, really, I've never seen her that happy. And how was your day? You were with Shana, right?"

"Yep, I was with her. And I told her everything about us."

"You what?"

"That was the advice dad and Gohan gave me."

"And did she believe you?"

"I first had to show her Super Saiyajin before she entirely believed me."

"Good for you. Now, can you please help me with this picture? I really don't know what to do."

"Alright then, let me do it," Goten said and took the picture and began to paint.

"I owe you something," Trunks said as he got the picture back from his friend.

"How about letting me have dinner at you this evening. Mom, Videl and your mom wanted to go out today and so there's no one to cook at home. I bet dad and Gohan went somewhere, too."

"Ok, then let's go and see what my dad left for us." The boys stormed into the kitchen and found Vegeta eating the last food they had.

"Why do I have this feeling that we have to go to McDonalds?" Goten asked.

"Because my dad ate everything we got," Trunks answered his friend.

So they went to McDonalds and after they've eaten they went back home and decided to go to bed, because they had to get up early the next morning.
