A/N: Hey you guys! Okay, I feel a lot better now that some time has
passed. Like they say, time heals all wounds, whew! Oh, and I'm not
planning to make this G/B. Remember folks, Bra's only 16! Goten's 28!
There is no way in hell those two would get together at this time or place.
Maybe in 10 years or so but not in this story. This is only a puppy love
thing that Bra's going through, it's just a little side story to see a
certain side of Goten. Enjoy the chapter!
Ch. 15 - Made in China!?
'Wow, I can't believe Marron actually managed to drive the full 5 hours to get here.' Trunks thought as they began to drive through many streets with factories and shops and homes. 'She mustn't drive a lot.' "So which part of China should we start with first?"
"How about the Great Wall of China?" Bra said excitedly.
"How about a Great Bar full of food?" Goten said rubbing his stomach. "I'm really hungry."
"How about a we check into a hotel?" Trunks teased.
"How about we stop with all the questions while I think?" Marron said irritated.
"Hey, you're the driver Marron, this is what you have to go through." Trunks pointed out.
"No, we're only asking Marron because she's nice and she listens to our opinions." Bra stuck her tongue out at Trunks.
"Yeah, Marron's cool like that Trunks, but I guess a boring and dull person like you wouldn't understand that." Goten looked at Marron's mirror and winked at her again.
Marron once again looked away only this time she began to blush. "T-thanks you guys, um..how about we go to a hotel, Goten they should have a bar or restaurant where you can eat, and Bra can check a map to find where we can get to the Great Wall." 'That should quiet them!' Marron thought proudly.
And quiet they were, they all grew silent agreeing with Marron's plan. Goten and Bra sat back and relaxed while Trunks looked at Marron showing a face expression meaning 'Good Job.' He nodded and looked around with Marron for a hotel. "Okay, there's one right over there."
And once again we go through the routine where they all settle in. This hotel room had two rooms with a door connecting them and the girls in one room while the boys in another.
"So Marron, are you excited about Goten coming with us?" Bra squealed while they were unpacking in their room.
"Bra, if anything, he shouldn't have gone on the trip. You're lucky that your brother is manipulative like that." Marron grumbled.
"Manipulative? Such an interesting word to describe him. Why'd you even listen to my brother?" Bra said in a more teasing voice.
"Because...B-because..." Marron began to forget the reason why she agreed. Er, not forget, just not wanting to tell.
"Because?" Bra leaned her ear closer to Marron's face.
"Oh, you know the reason. Why should I bother to tell you?" Marron was hoping against hope that Bra would shrug it off.
But shrug it off she did not. "You know, I asked you first, but you should bother to tell me because it'll help you'll stop being in denial."
"I'm not denying anything! Look, whatever is between Goten and I is over okay?! I didn't ask him to go on this trip! I don't want him on this trip! And to make it perfectly clear, him being able to go with us wasn't the reason why I listened to your brother!" Marron yelled spontaneously. Lucky for her, Trunks and Goten were at the diner down stairs of the hotel.
Bra looked at Marron a little worried, "Um..I know that. That wasn't what I was implying..." Bra said backing away from Marron.
"What?" A very confused Marron said.
"I know you're over Goten and stuff...I was implying that...well you know..." Bra began to whisper.
"No..apparently I don't know, you should tell me Bra." Marron wasn't sure how she felt at the moment, stupid, angry, embarrassed, happy.
"Um..well, I was implying that you actually had feelings for my brother." Bra began to head for the door in hopes of escape.
Marron stood there and formed a sweat-drop on her forhead. "You mean feelings for Trunks? Where did you get that idea from?" Now she felt relaxed, Bra wasn't questioning about Goten.
"Well, it seems that you're a lot nicer to him than Goten. You know, letting him sit in the front and all and having him talk to you while you were driving. And you suggested his idea of going to the hotel first. It seems you two get along perfectly." Bra reasoned.
Marron thought about it for a moment. It was true, she has been nicer to Trunks, always listening to him and talking to him. "Bra, I see him as a good friend and nothing else. He sat in the front so he can see how good of a driver I am, I talked to him so I wouldn't fall asleep behind the wheel, and his hotel idea was the most logical."
"Yeah, but every time I see you look at him I see a certain spark in your eyes." Bra felt her hand touch the door knob.
Marron stood there blushing a light shade of pink. "B-bra, you're too young to understand it completely."
"No I'm not! I know my brother! Why do you think I'm asking you this?!" Bra let go of the knob and began to yell herself.
"I don't know, please don't get mad Bra." Marron said calmly.
"Sorry, it's just, I'm old enough to understand how you two feel toward each other."
"What?" An even more confused Marron said.
"Marron, come on, don't tell me you haven't noticed."
"Notice what?"
"He likes you, Trunks likes you." Bra stated.
Marron stood there silently thinking for a moment on how to respond to that. "N-no he doesn't. He's just doing that because I'm his hostage. We made a deal on that."
"Yeah well, you two made a deal on not having Goten coming and looked at what happened. Making a deal doesn't stop the feeling, you should know that."
"No kidding. Look, this is getting really confusing Bra, let's talk about this when I'm not so tired."
"All right, but we will talk about this later. Promise?"
"Promise. Now, how far is it to the Great Wall of China? We should also consider getting Goten a disguise as well." Marron suggested.
Bra immediately began to giggle at the thought. "What kind of disguise could we give Goten? He'll probably end up putting the wig on his chest and say he's disguised as big foot."
Marron began to laugh at that as well. "Come on, we should get them and head out."
Marron and Bra grabbed Trunks and Goten and they all headed out for the Great Wall since it was the only thing that they wanted to see. But first, they went out and grabbed Goten a disguise...
"Hey this wig looks cool! And this one! Oooh! Look at that one!" Goten tried on blond, blue, green, and brunette wigs. Apparently, Goten wasn't picky.
"All right Goten, you can get two wigs, that's all you need. Do you want any contacts like Bra and Trunks?" Marron said. Trunks and Bra had their disguises on as well and stared at Goten for him to examine.
"Hmm.I must admit that they do look cool. Even on you Trunks, it's the only thing that's saving you from looking like a dork." Goten blabbed.
"Yeah well, your blue and brunette wigs aren't exactly the world's greatest either." Trunks mumbled.
"Nah, I don't think I'll need contacts, even though they look cool, I don't want to deal with the hassle." Goten said. "Why don't you have a disguise Marron?"
"Because I don't need one. No one recognizes me, except for my parents and well, they aren't here." Marron said matter-of-factly.
"That's okay, who would want to disguise that soft gorgeous hair and beautiful sapphire eyes?" Goten said softly and stared straight at Marron.
However, Marron is one who learns from her mistakes, "I don't know, but looks aren't important are they?" She rudely said.
Goten's mouth was about to fall off had it not been for Trunks' smirking and Bra's giggling. Marron looked at Bra and she saw her wink at her. She looked away blushing remember the talk they had back in their room. "All right, we got what we came here for now let's go."
Ah, so after 30 minutes of driving, the foursome reach the Great Wall of China. Marron of course, brought her camera and took pictures of everyone and everything. "This is so cool!" For once, Marron squealed and not Bra.
"Ugh, can we go now? I'm really hungry." Goten groaned while patting his stomach.
"Goten! We've only been here for 30 minutes! We're not going yet." Marron barked.
"But I'm hungry! Can't I just go while you guys stay here? I'll meet you back at the hotel." Goten reasoned.
"I'm hungry too though." Bra complained.
"Bra, why don't you go with Goten? That way you guys can see some other things while we stay here for a bit." Trunks said, his self-consciousness began to develop a plan all on its own without him knowing it, only feeling it.
"Okay, as long as we get to go now, we'll take a taxi and see you guys later." Goten said, had he been not hungry, he would have done anything to stay with Marron and not leave her alone with Trunks. But well, the only thing on his mind was food.
As for Bra, she was a happy little camper. "All right see you guys later!" She began to walk side by side with Goten along the wall getting to the end. As far as Bra thought, she wished the walk would never end. "Where do you want to eat Goten?"
"I don't know, wherever we go, they have to have a lot of food..." Goten's and Bra's voices began to fade along with their bodies as they walked according to Marron. She then looked back to the mountains and the view she got taking a few more pictures.
"This is incredible. Have you been here before Trunks?" Marron asked.
"Yeah, the last time was a few years ago. I was here to promote a new capsule that could hold two cars and a helicopter. I needed the factory to make it."
"So those things are made in China?" Marron joked.
Trunks sweat-dropped but chuckled all the same. "Yeah, all my capsules are made in China."
"Do you visit the Great Wall while you're here?"
"Yeah, it's my favorite part of the whole trip. I get to come here and be by myself and relax without any responsibilities." Trunks stood next to the edge with Marron and looked out into the green mountains thinking to himself.
Marron gazed at Trunks really quickly and remembered the conversation she had with Bra, which made her go slightly pink. "It is beautiful isn't it?" Marron stared out like Trunks and admired the scenery some more.
"Yeah, you should see the very bottom of the mountains, there's a little stream and it's isolated from everyone's view."
Marron stared at Trunks curiously, "How would you know?"
"I fly down there. I even went there one time to hide from my mother." Trunks laughed at himself.
"What do you do down there?"
"I'd just sit there and enjoy the fact that I'm by myself and no one is around to boss me or talk to me like I have no opinion. I sit there and think about the person that I am." Trunks looked down the wall as if he wanted to go back down there for old times.
"Well, kind of person are you Trunks?" Marron wasn't sure if she wanted that question answered. What made her even ask that?
Trunks began to put on a sly grin, "Why don't we find out?" Trunks picked up Marron into his arms and when he was sure no one was looking, he flew down the wall and went to the very bottom of the mountain, where no one could see them. When he got to the bottom, he smiled very widely, "We're here. You can open your eyes Marron."
Meanwhile, Marron was scared for her life, the moment he picked her up she wanted to scream but for some weird reason she couldn't. Er.her voice or mind didn't want to scream, it wanted to see the stream with Trunks, but that didn't stop her from closing her eyes, she was still afraid of flying in Trunks' arms.
When Trunks said they were here, she quickly got out of Trunks' grasp and open her eyes and her face looked of one who never saw true beauty until now. There was indeed a little stream with no current, just a calm line of water, the mountains were green but also flowers growing within the grass as well. And finally, near the wall that blocked the view to go any further, there was a rock to sit on. Marron gazed at the rock with questioning since there were no other rocks to be sighted.
"I put the rock there." Trunks said softly.
"Is that where you sit down and think about yourself?" Marron began to take pictures of the area and a few of Trunks standing there. Anything to keep her from melting away right there and fly into Trunks' arms.
"Yeah, isn't it beautiful?"
"I've never seen anything like it. I really love it here Trunks, thank you. Although, I didn't like the transportation to get here." Marron said, indicating of another way out.
"You're welcome, but flying down here is the only way to get down here and to get back up." Trunks said cautiously.
Marron showed a look of worry as the thought of flying back up wasn't exactly her favorite thing to do. "You're gonna have to give me a minute."
"Take you're time, you wanted to know what kind of person I am right?" Trunks motioned Marron to go sit down on the rock, which she did.
"S-so what kind of person are you?" Marron stuttered, the feeling she was having was very knew to her, she didn't have butterflies in her stomach like she did with Goten, but instead, a warm comforting feeling that she was scared to feel but was feeling it anyway.
Trunks was beginning to speak but his eyes glared right into Marron's. "I'm..not sure."
"You want to know who you are Trunks?" Marron said, who was glued to Trunks' eyes as well. "I think I can tell you that myself now that I think about it."
"I know who I am. I just can't remember for the moment."
"Come sit with me and I'll tell you who I think you are." Marron patted an empty space that had enough room for Trunks to sit on. Marron wasn't sure what she was doing, only going with the moment.
He walked toward Marron like a robot not having his eyes look anywhere else. When he sat down, both of their faces were very close to each other. Marron could here Trunks' heart pounding wildly. "Who do you think I am Marron?" Trunks said very softly. His face began to get even closer to Marron's.
"You're nice, kind, smart, strong, wild, and-and..." Marron began to lose her way of thinking but was determined to finish her thought before anything else was going to happen. She could see Trunks closing his eyes and feel his arms encircling her waist.
"And what?" Trunks whispered into her ear. Trunks didn't care if he was losing himself to Marron, it felt right to him.
"And-and you always seem to know what I want or think and know just what to do..." Marron felt herself closing her eyes and felt her lips touching Trunks' and putting her hands on his shoulders as they both began to melt into the kiss....
Meanwhile....
Goten and Bra were having the worst luck in the world finding a restaurant.
"Goten, do you have any sense of direction?" Bra said getting irritated.
"By now I should, my stomach has been growling ever since we got out of the Great Wall."
"You think there'd be a restaurant on every corner considering how many people live in this country." Bra groaned.
Goten stood there for a minute and began to think for once. "You know what? I know that yours, mine, and Marron's family are all back in Japan. What's the hurt in flying around here to look for a restaurant? Besides, we're still in our disguises, no one should recognize us." Goten was wearing his brunette wig.
At this point, Bra was to hungry to say no. "Fine with me Goten, you'll have to carry me though." Bra began to love Goten's idea.
"No problem! I'll keep my ki down so Trunks won't notice and we'll find a restaurant in no time!" Goten swung Bra into his arms and lifted her up and they began to fly around.
Bra was giggling with delight as Goten was playing around with her as he was flying. He tickled her, flew down really low so she'd lose the feeling in her stomach, and then he would drop her a few feet but then she'd drop right into his arms again. "Goten! Are you even looking for a restaurant?"
"Yeah, but I didn't want you to get really bored. Besides, you looked like you were having fun." Goten smiled.
Bra smiled as well, "Thanks Goten." She couldn't understand how Marron is able to hate this guy.
"You're welcome Bra, you're just like a little sister to me." Goten smiled even more.
Smack! Bra felt her heart being succumb by piranhas as he said 'just like little sister to me.' The words kept echoing in her head like a continuous nightmare. That's all he was to her? A little sister? What he was doing with her was sibling playing? "Er...same feeling over here Goten." Bra tried to smile. 'Stupid Jerk.'
Well, after about 10 minutes being airborne, Goten and Bra find a restaurant. "Yay! We found one!" Goten cheered.
"Thank Dende, I didn't know how much longer I could stand being up there." Bra moaned.
"I thought you were having fun?" Goten said disappointedly.
"Yeah, but after a while I can't stand to be in the air, I'm not used to it." Bra said, although it was a complete lie. She didn't want Goten to hold her anymore.
"Oh, than it was a good thing that we found a restaurant very quickly. Come on, let's go!" Goten and Bra flew down and Goten dragged Bra into the restaurant.
"I hope this place has a ton of food, my stomach's been vibrating my body with it's growling." Goten moaned.
"Yeah, I'm sure they do Goten." Bra sighed.
"By the way Bra, there's something I want to talk to you about. Just between us two." Goten said in a lower voice.
Bra's heart leaped, maybe he was tricking her earlier? 'I hope so!' She thought. "Okay Goten, tell me when we get to our table."
Well, they got to their table and ordered everything, literally, everything on the menu. Now they just have to wait.
"So what did you want to tell me in private Goten?" Bra said eagerly.
"Well, I thought I could cope with being alone but I couldn't. Not when I saw her face again." Goten said softly.
Bra felt her excitement rise. "And?"
"And when I laid my charms on her, she blew them right off. What's wrong with Marron? I thought she still liked me?!" Goten whined.
Bra felt her heart blow into bits. "Maybe she likes someone else." Bra advised, although, she did feel a pang of guilt for Goten, considering that she was the one who set Trunks and Marron up. Hey, she had a crush on Goten okay?
"Well, that's where you come in my plan. I want you to help me get Marron back. For now I need you to tell me if she likes anybody or if she's seeing anybody. Could you do that?" Goten asked.
'Doesn't he have any brains whatsoever? She likes Trunks you idiot!' Bra angrily thought. "Does this mean we'll have more private meetings in restaurants?"
"Yeah, we're gonna have to." Goten said.
Bra thought a moment. 'Let's see, if I say 'yes,' I'll spend more time with Goten. If I say 'no,' I'll have less time with Goten and an even smaller chance of getting him. But if I say 'yes,' I'll be helping him get with someone else.' "I know!" Bra shouted without realizing she was speaking from her thoughts.
"You know what?" A confused Goten said.
"Um.I know..that for a fact I would love to help you!" Bra sweat-dropped. 'Once he gets the picture that Marron doesn't like him, he'll feel terrible and that's when I come to comfort him! Genius!'
"Great! Thanks a lot Bra, you're the greatest." Goten said excitedly.
"Anytime Goten, anytime."
A/N: And BOOM! Well, I hope you like the update. I've had this chapter for a while now but I couldn't post it, but now I can. As for the next chapter, it's half way done, you'll get it when ff.net is up again. See ya!
Ch. 15 - Made in China!?
'Wow, I can't believe Marron actually managed to drive the full 5 hours to get here.' Trunks thought as they began to drive through many streets with factories and shops and homes. 'She mustn't drive a lot.' "So which part of China should we start with first?"

"What do you do down there?"
"I'd just sit there and enjoy the fact that I'm by myself and no one is around to boss me or talk to me like I have no opinion. I sit there and think about the person that I am." Trunks looked down the wall as if he wanted to go back down there for old times.

And finally, near the wall that blocked the view to go any further, there was a rock to sit on. Marron gazed at the rock with questioning since there were no other rocks to be sighted.
"I put the rock there." Trunks said softly.
"Is that where you sit down and think about yourself?" Marron began to take pictures of the area and a few of Trunks standing there. Anything to keep her from melting away right there and fly into Trunks' arms.
"Yeah, isn't it beautiful?"
"I've never seen anything like it. I really love it here Trunks, thank you. Although, I didn't like the transportation to get here." Marron said, indicating of another way out.
"You're welcome, but flying down here is the only way to get down here and to get back up." Trunks said cautiously.
Marron showed a look of worry as the thought of flying back up wasn't exactly her favorite thing to do. "You're gonna have to give me a minute."
"Take you're time, you wanted to know what kind of person I am right?" Trunks motioned Marron to go sit down on the rock, which she did.
"S-so what kind of person are you?" Marron stuttered, the feeling she was having was very knew to her, she didn't have butterflies in her stomach like she did with Goten, but instead, a warm comforting feeling that she was scared to feel but was feeling it anyway.
Trunks was beginning to speak but his eyes glared right into Marron's. "I'm..not sure."
"You want to know who you are Trunks?" Marron said, who was glued to Trunks' eyes as well. "I think I can tell you that myself now that I think about it."
"I know who I am. I just can't remember for the moment."
"Come sit with me and I'll tell you who I think you are." Marron patted an empty space that had enough room for Trunks to sit on. Marron wasn't sure what she was doing, only going with the moment.
He walked toward Marron like a robot not having his eyes look anywhere else. When he sat down, both of their faces were very close to each other. Marron could here Trunks' heart pounding wildly. "Who do you think I am Marron?" Trunks said very softly. His face began to get even closer to Marron's.
"You're nice, kind, smart, strong, wild, and-and..." Marron began to lose her way of thinking but was determined to finish her thought before anything else was going to happen. She could see Trunks closing his eyes and feel his arms encircling her waist.
"And what?" Trunks whispered into her ear. Trunks didn't care if he was losing himself to Marron, it felt right to him.
"And-and you always seem to know what I want or think and know just what to do..." Marron felt herself closing her eyes and felt her lips touching Trunks' and putting her hands on his shoulders as they both began to melt into the kiss....
Meanwhile....
Goten and Bra were having the worst luck in the world finding a restaurant.
"Goten, do you have any sense of direction?" Bra said getting irritated.
"By now I should, my stomach has been growling ever since we got out of the Great Wall."
"You think there'd be a restaurant on every corner considering how many people live in this country." Bra groaned.
Goten stood there for a minute and began to think for once. "You know what? I know that yours, mine, and Marron's family are all back in Japan. What's the hurt in flying around here to look for a restaurant? Besides, we're still in our disguises, no one should recognize us." Goten was wearing his brunette wig.
At this point, Bra was to hungry to say no. "Fine with me Goten, you'll have to carry me though." Bra began to love Goten's idea.
"No problem! I'll keep my ki down so Trunks won't notice and we'll find a restaurant in no time!" Goten swung Bra into his arms and lifted her up and they began to fly around.
Bra was giggling with delight as Goten was playing around with her as he was flying. He tickled her, flew down really low so she'd lose the feeling in her stomach, and then he would drop her a few feet but then she'd drop right into his arms again. "Goten! Are you even looking for a restaurant?"
"Yeah, but I didn't want you to get really bored. Besides, you looked like you were having fun." Goten smiled.
Bra smiled as well, "Thanks Goten." She couldn't understand how Marron is able to hate this guy.
"You're welcome Bra, you're just like a little sister to me." Goten smiled even more.
Smack! Bra felt her heart being succumb by piranhas as he said 'just like little sister to me.' The words kept echoing in her head like a continuous nightmare. That's all he was to her? A little sister? What he was doing with her was sibling playing? "Er...same feeling over here Goten." Bra tried to smile. 'Stupid Jerk.'
Well, after about 10 minutes being airborne, Goten and Bra find a restaurant. "Yay! We found one!" Goten cheered.
"Thank Dende, I didn't know how much longer I could stand being up there." Bra moaned.
"I thought you were having fun?" Goten said disappointedly.
"Yeah, but after a while I can't stand to be in the air, I'm not used to it." Bra said, although it was a complete lie. She didn't want Goten to hold her anymore.
"Oh, than it was a good thing that we found a restaurant very quickly. Come on, let's go!" Goten and Bra flew down and Goten dragged Bra into the restaurant.
"I hope this place has a ton of food, my stomach's been vibrating my body with it's growling." Goten moaned.
"Yeah, I'm sure they do Goten." Bra sighed.
"By the way Bra, there's something I want to talk to you about. Just between us two." Goten said in a lower voice.
Bra's heart leaped, maybe he was tricking her earlier? 'I hope so!' She thought. "Okay Goten, tell me when we get to our table."
Well, they got to their table and ordered everything, literally, everything on the menu. Now they just have to wait.
"So what did you want to tell me in private Goten?" Bra said eagerly.
"Well, I thought I could cope with being alone but I couldn't. Not when I saw her face again." Goten said softly.
Bra felt her excitement rise. "And?"
"And when I laid my charms on her, she blew them right off. What's wrong with Marron? I thought she still liked me?!" Goten whined.
Bra felt her heart blow into bits. "Maybe she likes someone else." Bra advised, although, she did feel a pang of guilt for Goten, considering that she was the one who set Trunks and Marron up. Hey, she had a crush on Goten okay?
"Well, that's where you come in my plan. I want you to help me get Marron back. For now I need you to tell me if she likes anybody or if she's seeing anybody. Could you do that?" Goten asked.
'Doesn't he have any brains whatsoever? She likes Trunks you idiot!' Bra angrily thought. "Does this mean we'll have more private meetings in restaurants?"
"Yeah, we're gonna have to." Goten said.
Bra thought a moment. 'Let's see, if I say 'yes,' I'll spend more time with Goten. If I say 'no,' I'll have less time with Goten and an even smaller chance of getting him. But if I say 'yes,' I'll be helping him get with someone else.' "I know!" Bra shouted without realizing she was speaking from her thoughts.
"You know what?" A confused Goten said.
"Um.I know..that for a fact I would love to help you!" Bra sweat-dropped. 'Once he gets the picture that Marron doesn't like him, he'll feel terrible and that's when I come to comfort him! Genius!'
"Great! Thanks a lot Bra, you're the greatest." Goten said excitedly.
"Anytime Goten, anytime."
