While you were sleeping

Chapter 13: Re-located, Re-met, and Re-proposed

Trunks walked into Goten's room where Goten was getting settled into a wheel chair. "Hiya bro, what's up?"

"They're moving me down to the second floor." Goten sat down and fixed his robe.

"Cool, hey, mind if I drive?" Trunks grabbed the handles of the wheelchair. Goten shrugged and leaned back relaxing.

"Not at all." Trunks wheeled Goten out of the room. He then pulled something out of his jacket.

"Oh hey, here I got you something." Trunks gave Goten a carton of ice cream. Goten grabbed it and the spoon with a large grin.

"Ooh Chocolate peanut butter, my favorite!" Goten took a bite. "Mmm now this I remember. Everything is better now. I feel better, everything looks better, and even this chocolate peanut butter tastes better." Trunks ran a hand through his lavender hair.

"Good, it's fudge mint."

"Whatever all I know is that I'm gonna start appreciating things more. I talked to Ryanna yesterday and she gave me a whole new lookout on life, and all she did was smile. Do you know we're engaged.. yeah me and Ryanna starting a new blissful life together. If you were a preist now I would confess everything" Trunks tried to motion he didn't wanna hear it. "I don't even know what mom and dad sent Uncle Roshi for christmas last year."

"It was a fruit basket, look Goten I need to talk to you about Ryanna."

"Remember the squirrels?" Trunks' eyes widened and he threw his hands in the air holding back curses.

"Don't even,"

"first I knocked them out by accident trying to get my favorite toy." Trunks gulped as if he was going to be sick. "Then I saved them."

"Ick, dude, did you mention any of this to Ryanna?" Goten shook his head and took another large bite of his ice cream.

"It doesn't, matter anymore. I'm having a whole new start with Ryanna. She's I mean she's..." he pondered then adjusted his seat trying to describe his fiancee but came up with a blank. "What is she?" Trunks ran a hand through his hair then pressed the elevator button.

"I say that she gets under your skin so bad and drives you nuts that you don't know whether to hug her, or just arm-wrestle her." Trunks leant against the wall and stared off into space. He recalled the day he had walked her home and over the bridge and began to smile akwardly. " She has a passport that she carries with her all the time and she would go all the way to Italy just to get a stamp in it. I dunno if you would call that being insane..." He imagined Ryanna's smile when she mentioned her dad and the trip to florence, "or just being really really likeable."

Goten snapped out of his daze then shook his head. "No, that's not it, but she's got to be special, she's got to be. And I could spend the rest of my life figuring out why." Trunks rolled his eyes and left Goten by the elevator. "I don't have to know now I don't have to know later." The male nurse came over with Goten's things and listened to him. "I don't have to know in a year or ten years." The male nurse gave him a puzzling look as he watched Goten talk to himself. "I don't have to have the answers today or maybe someday I'll have a clue but, that doesn't mena ic na't make a lifetime commitment. Is this making any sense?"

"Not really but that's common after a head injury." He placed Goten's things in Goten's lap. Goten looked at the items in the box. "My shoes."

Goku waited patiently for Ryanna to appear. Ryanna approached him. "How did they take it?" Goten gulped down what food he had in his mouth and looekd at her.

"What?"

"The Briefs,"

"you missed them."

"Well what was their reaction to the news?"

"I haven't told them yet." Ryanna's eyes widen and she placed a hand on his shoulder.

"What do you mean you haven't told them? What about Goten?"

"I haven't told him either." Ryanna snapped and wacked him with her handback.

"WHAT GOKU I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO HANDLE THIS!" Goku winced and held his hands up in defense.

"I am handling it." She pointed to the hospital.

"This is handling it?"

"This is handling it." Ryanan pointed a finger in his face.

"Goku you're fired!" Goku gawked at her as she and a brown haired female entered the building. Both entered the elevator.

"Two please," the other female announced.

"Four please," Ryanna said. Paris stomped out of the elevator and into Goten's room. Goten looked up from hhaving his IV placed back in and nearly choked."Paris!"

"Scumbag!" Goten blinked and looked at his roommate then back at Paris. "you're engaged?" Goten grinned and nodded sheepishly as his roommate watched in intrest. "May I remind you that you proposed to me."

"You said no, we broke up."

"No I was confused, we stepped back."

"You moved to Portugal."

"Yeah well I didn't think you would come and marry the first bimbo you would come across." Goten hold up his hand in Ryanna's defense.

"Oh Ryanna's not a bimbo."

"Ryanna, Ryanna who?"

"I don't remember."

"Liar,"

"I don't remember proposing. I was in a coma, I have amnesia."

"Amnesia, oh now that's rich. Fine I want my stuff back."

"Fine then I want my stuff back."

"What stuff?"

"Your nose." Paris covered her nose.

"You can't take my nose away."

"I paid for it." Then she pointed to her breasts.

"Well here, you paid for these too."

"You know what keep them. I'm a changed man."

"Go ahead, go ahead and marry her, you one balled bastard." Paris stomped out of the room. Goten's roommate looked at him.

"Holy pockets Goten, you're moving on to greener pastures."

"Yeah." He gave him a thumbs up.

"You got it pal." Ryanna went to the fourth floor only to realize he was moved. Marron showed her down to the second floor. Ryanna smiled sheepishly and entered Goten's room. Goten smiled brightly.

"Ryanna," Ryanna smiled at him and looked him over.

"Hi, wow, you look really good." Goten sat up straight and leant her direction.

"I feel really good. You know what, facing death makes a man evaluate his life, and I haven't liked what I've seen. I've seen a man with courtside tickets to the bulls game, an investment portfolio, and an apartment in France." Goten sighs and looks deeply into Ryanna's eyes. "You though Ryanna, you were there for me when I needed you the most. You gave me a second chance. Heh, it took a coma to wake me up. My family loves you, I might as well love you. Ryanna Millie Coutsa'n, will you marry me?" Ryanna's eyes widened and Marron who had been listening the whole time by the door fainted. Ryanna looked over to her.

"Uh hold that thought... Marron?" Goten looked over to her and smiled making her smile back sheepishly as she tried to lift Marron off the ground.

HA HA HA I'm sorry but I have to laugh at that...Do you get the testicle thing now? Okay good. Review me please!
