Chapter 4 - Moonlight
**************************************************************************** ****
"She.... she loves me?" Goten wasn't supposed to hear it, but Bra forgot that Saiyans have a great hearing. Goten was stunned. He couldn't believe what he just heard. His unanswered question.... was finally answered. He wanted to laugh. He wanted to smile. He wanted... to go after Bra, embrace her tight and tell her that, he loved her too. But he just stood there. Like a wooden block, not moving. He wanted to move, but he was unable to move. Stunned.... just stunned....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Goten! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!!!!!" Tears ran down. Not stopping... She just cried, while she was running. She didn't bother to wipe away her tears.
"Like your sister? Am I JUST like your sister?! I don't want to be JUST like your sister!!!! You stupid fool! I hate you!" Bra stopped when she reached her home. She reached the front door and searched for her keys. Suddenly, someone tapped on her shouders from behind. When she looked back, she got herself a little shock.
"Keith? What.... what are you doing here?" Bra stared at the handsome young man. Then Keith grabbed her hands and then wrapped himself around Bra.
"I'm sorry..." That was all he said. Bra was stunned. She couldn't move. Was there a slight of possibility to forgive him? Was there a slight of chance, that Bra loved him again? Or was it all lie? All she knew was, that she had to get Goten out of her mind. Even if it was for just a second. She wanted nothing more, but a warm embrace. She really needed it. But when Bra saw something shining in Keith's eyes.... her heart melted. Slowly, Bra wiped away the tear in his eyes. She leant close to him... So close, that she could smell him. Bra let her own tears roll.... She couldn't help it, but when she smelled at him, she remembered it all. Every single detail. Did she really want someone who she knew, he could not be reached? Or did she want someone who once already gave her a place, where she could feel safe? Deep inside her heart, she knew. She knew that she already mad her choice a long time ago, but maybe, it was time to change her choice... So she kissed Keith.... Their kiss lasted for a while and then they both let go of each others warm, soft lips....
Keith just embraced Bra tight and let her cry on his shoulders.
"Oh Keith...." Bra cried and cried. Keith stroke her hair and slowly... he let go of Bra. She stared at him with her red eyes and still forced herself to smile.
"Bra, I'm sorry.... I think.... I got a little too drunk the other night. I'm so sorry for whatever I did to you. I... I didn't hurt you, did I?" Keith looked into her eyes and Bra saw the warmth in his eyes again... The old Keith...
"No Keith... you... you didn't hurt me.... Can you... hold me a little longer?" Keith nodded and smiled at her.
"Sure Bra, I love you....." So Keith wrapped himself around Bra again.
'Keith loves me. He really loves me.... Why can't I then?' So Bra didn't struggle or anything. Because she wanted to give Keith a second chance and also because for one minute, she forgot about Goten..... just for one single minute......
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Uncle Goten? What are you doing here?" Goten didn't seem to notice, that someone was talking to him. When he looked around, he saw his niece....
"Pan, it's you..." Pan tried to force herselve a smile, but she couldn't.... No, not after what happened...
"Are you alright, uncle Goten?" The sun was shining upon Goten's face... When Pan looked closer, she saw it... She couldn't believe it, but it was true.... She saw it glistening like small crystals... She was sure, her uncle was crying.....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bra?" When Bra looked up, she saw a woman standing right in front of her with suitcases and bags and all... The woman was quite similair to herself. Bra couldn't believe it. She was too happy to believe.
"Mom! You're back!" Bra also looked the other way... She saw a young man with lavender hair with beautiful blue eyes and a man dressed in jeans and a blue shirt. The one laughed, the other smirked. The one was Trunks, the other was Vegeta.
"Trunks! Daddy!!! Oh my God, I can't believe you're back! I'm so happy!" Bra hugged her brother and smiled, then she hugged her father. Vegeta smirked.
"Hey princess..." When Bra finished hugging her brother and father, she eventually ran to her mother. Trunks just said: "Uh-oh!" Not a few seconds later, Bra knew what Trunks meant.
"Mom... I... I'm.. chooooking!" All of them laughed and Bulma let go of her child.
"Oh baby, I missed you so much! Did you mss your old mother?" Bulma laughed and Bra laughed as well.
"You're not old, mom..." All of them laughed again, till they saw someone show up. Vegeta took a step forward, in a protecting Bra kind of way and frowned.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" Vegeta took a quick look at his daughter. She just smiled.
"Daddy, it's okay... Keith and I are back together again...." Vegeta and Trunks both widened their eyes. They had no idea why Bra would ever get back together with Keith. They all knew that Bra was sensible. They knew that Bra was responsible and wise... But why? Why did she get back together with Keith? But Bulma didn't find it surprising or whatsoever. She knew that something was wrong. She knew her own daughter more than anyone. She was the most silent of all.
'I just hope, that Bra knows what she's doing...' With a sigh, Bulma invited Keith in very friendly and started to order some chinese. Bulma didn't want to cook after a such a long trip and they were all starved. So they simply ordered something. With Keith in their house...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Uncle Goten, I know you like... love Bra! Why don't you tell her that?" Goten sat down and sighed.
"I... I just don't know how to say it... I don't know how to start!" When Goten said that, Pan just glared at him.
"You knew when you dated Paris...." Pan crossed her arms and looked the other way. She hoped that Goten would come to his senses. He knew what to say to Paris, when they were together. Those sweet words wispering in her ear... Suddenly, Goten grabbed his coat and stood up.
"You're right! I have to tell her!" Goten gathered all his courage together and then took off. Pan just stood there... Like a mother, who was proud of her own son. In this case, proud of her uncle...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
'I love you, Bra... I never knew you loved me. If only I had...' Goten sighed and then smiled. Thinking how things would be, after he would her, that he loved her too. He didn't know what to say yet. Finally, Goten arrived at the Capsule Corp after a few minutes of flying in the sky, which was filled with stars and with the big, beautiful moon. It's light shone upon Goten and Goten was happy. Finally, he had found the courage to tell her. Finally....
'Tonight.... tonight, all things will be different. Bra will know my love for her and there is nothing that could get in my way,' Goten walked slowly to the door. He took a deep breath and rose up his finger, ready to ring the doorbell, but all of the sudden, he felt a hand on his left shoulder. Goten was filled with excitement and smiled, but when he turned around, his excitement disappeared from his face.
"Vegeta... I'm here for...." Vegeta glared at him and didn't let him finish his sentence.
"Get out of our territory!" Vegeta snarled. Goten didn't understand. He knew Vegeta could be mean to him, but not like that.
"Apparently, you haven't heard me quite well.... Should I show you what I mean?!" Vegeta was ready to kick Goten away from the Capsule Corp. , but Goten wanted to know what was going on first.
"Vegeta, what...." Before Goten could finish his sentence, Vegeta interupted him again. But this time, not with words. Vegeta grabbed Goten by his collar and dragged Goten with him. It looked like, that they were heading for the large window, with transparent curtains.
"Look...." Goten didn't want to look, he wanted to go in! To find Bra, but Vegeta spoke, so Goten didn't dare much around him. So Goten obeyed and looked. At first, he saw people walking, laughing.... but vaguely. Then, when he looked closer, he saw Trunks and Bulma... The two of them were laughing and talking. They sat down on the bed. The room looked a lot like Bra's. When the two persons came closer, he was shocked. It was Bra, with another person. A guy.... He couldn't see who, but that didn't matter anyway... What they were doing, said more than enough. More than he even wanted to know! They were kissing, touching and..... When he stared even longer, he hoped that he was dreaming... Actually, hoping that he was only having one bad nightmare. His eyes almost popped up, when he saw the whole situation. He could not believe it. He could feel his heartbeat going faster and faster. It was like, she, the girl she loved, who was almost like a woman now, cut his heart into pieces. As if, the one he loved, just sliced his heart in pieces. Gotens hand at the veranda trembled. His whole body was shaking. It was like, someone was stabbing him over and over and over again. He began to see vaguely, cause of his watrey eyes. He could not believe it. He didn't want to believe! He refused to. He asked himself several times the most famous question...
'Why?' Goten slowly walked away from the veranda and then, it was HIS turn to run.... To run as far as possible. He had to take out his frustrations. He knew he could just fly away, but he wanted to run. He had to get in action. His whole body needed to get some movement. His feet were running, his arms were blasting the trees away, which crossed his path, his eyes.... Yes, they were doing something as well....
Creating the tears, which the moonlight made it even brighter than ever before....
