Told You So

Goten noticed his windowsill was dusty as he watched the young girl climb into her car and drive away. He found himself constantly hoping that there were a girl just like her out there for him. 'Why does she have to be so young?' He silently ached.

"I need someone to talk to," He sighed, picked up his cell phone and dialed Trunks' cell.

"Dude, I'm in a meeting right now," He whispered.

"Oops, sorry, I'll try Marron," He chuckled, embarrassed.

"Marron!" He shouted into the phone.

"Gosh Goten! I didn't hear you," She stated sarcastically.

"I need someone to talk to," He admitted.

"How come you can't call Bra?" She teased.

"Because it's about her," He answered.

"What's up?"

Goten told everything that happened and everything he has been feeling. The next hour passed by so fast. It was painfully clumsy and gawky, but it was exactly what he needed to settle his mind and heart. He let out everything he's been holding in for months.

"She's too young!" He sighed.

"Why do you say that?" She bantered.

"Isn't it obvious?" He questioned.

"Why is age such a sensitive issue? Even Vegeta let you know that age shouldn't matter, both of you are Saiyans. I grow older, faster. You don't," She stated.

"I feel like I can't accept that someone more is going to happen between us," He stammered.

"You mean, you wouldn't want something more?" She probed.

"No, it's just, for some reason I can't accept it," He squirmed, "she's just too young!"

"Do you really wish she were older?"

Goten started thinking about it. Would her being older solve everything? Now Goten was confused.

"Think about it Goten," She added full of excitement, "If you and her were meant to be together, what a privilege for you to have the opportunity to watch her grow up."

"Um…Vegeta?" Goten awkwardly asked.

"What is it boy?" He growled.

"Thanks again for coming," He chuckled nervously.

Vegeta just grunted, "Just fight boy."

A couple of minutes "Ok. what is it you want to talk about now?" Vegeta was not one to beat around the bush.

"I…I think that someday, um…Bra is going to be my wife," He stated. Goten did it. He did the impossible.

"You know what you have to do right?" Vegeta crossed his arms.

Goten nodded, "That's why we're here right?"

After they had finished, Goten called his brother to come over.

"Why am I here?" Gohan asked.

"Since dad isn't here, you're the closest thing I have to father right now, since Vegeta doesn't count," Goten replied. So he took the time to fill in his brother about everything that had been going on.

"Well…what have you got to say?" He asked his brother, nervous of the outcome.

"I don't really understand why this is happening, because this is the most bizarre relationship I've ever seen, actually never mind, it isn't, but it is quite different from most couples I've seen. Does she know how you feel?" Gohan asked.

"No, I wanted to get some advice about it first, because this is really different than any normal relationship here on earth," Goten replied.

"I think she is ready to hear it, "Vegeta added, "I can't believe I'm saying this but I give you my blessing to win my daughter's heart." "How about here?" Goten asked motioning to flat spot on top of the little hill they had approached.

Bra didn't answer, she just sat down. Inwardly, she was trembling, unsure of what was about to happen.

"I have something important to tell you," He told her on the phone that morning, "Can we meet later and take a walk or something?"

Her heart hammered in her chest.

'Was he finally going to tell me that the friendship was over? Does he know how I feel about him?' She thought, 'Maybe that's why he wants to end this friendship. He knows me too well, he probably already knows. He wants to put a stop to it before it breaks my heart!'

Bra sat across from him, bracing herself for the inevitable.

"Lately, I've been struggling with this whole thing because…well, because I'd never met a girl that I could imagine spending the rest of my life with until…, uh, until you," Goten looked down, careful not to meet Bra's gaze.

She was speechless. After weeks of convincing herself that this was impossible, it wa.

"You see, even though you were my best friend and I was really attracted to you…I wanted to protect you from what others would say," He confessed.

Bra was still shocked.

"That's why I haven't been able to tell you about moving beyond a friendship with you. I really feel that someday we'll be together, not right away, but I know that one day I will be your husband."

Bra couldn't speak, her voice was caught in her thought, and she just watched him spill out his heart to her.

"The only reason why I feel comfortable talking to you about this is because I talked this over with your parents, and they thought that you'd be ready to hear this, because they believe that you feel the same way towards me."

'They sold me out!' Bra mentally yelled, 'Goten looks at me more than a friend! He believes that we'll get married some day!" A thrill went through her body. She began to feel utter relief and happiness.

"B-chan?" He questioned hesitantly, "Do you…I mean, do you feel the same way?" His eyes pleading with her to speak.

Bra was struck with numbness, but she finally found her voice. She smiled, "Yes."
