Author's note: So what is going on with this story?! I don't really know.
I'm feeling kinda burnt out. So read and review. Also a question, I see
that when other people update their stories it goes to the front page. How
do I get mine to do that? Sorry, I'm terminally dumb. And I'd be liking
ideas for different stories when I get writer's block from this one, sorry
if that's asking too much.

Chapter 5: Memories of a Lost Love
Bra sat in the empty bath tub, emotionally exhausted. She was too tired to turn on the hot water faucet, so she just sat there, thinking. Much had happened to her today. Bra was deep in her thoughts when the phone rang. Bra was debating whether or not to answer it, when it was picked up. She heard low mumbling then a growl.
"BRA!!! KAKAROTT'S BRAT IS ON THE PHONE FOR YOU!" Vegeta roared. Was it Pan? She was on a date with Trunks. Bra slowly climbed out of the bath tub and made her way across her room to the phone. She picked up the phone and yelled 'Got it' to her father.
"Hello?" she said.
"Bra! Hi, well, I wanted to talk to you about what happened to today at my house." It was Goten! Bra almost started hyperventilating, her heart beat faster, reminding her what she felt for this man.
"Uh Goten, isn't Marron at your house though?" Bra couldn't believe she asked that. Why would it matter who was at his house when he wanted to talk to her?
"Yeah, but I'm not at my house. I'm at Babel park, and I was wondering if you could meet me here?" He said. Now Bra was most definitely hyperventilating. Goten wanted to meet her?! What did this mean?
"Of course I can. Right now?"
"Yeah. Thanks Bra, talk to you later."
"See ya." Bra replied. She slowly replaced the handle on the hook. Bra turned to look at herself in her dresser mirror. She screamed excitedly, stomped her feet, and jumped up and down.
"What's wrong, Princess?" Vegeta said. Bra turned to look at him and brilliantly smiled at him. She jumped into his arms and kissed him on the cheek. Vegeta smiled dazedly.
"What was that for?" he asked, looking at his daughter.
"Oh, Daddy, it's just because right now, I'm so happy!" she kissed her Dad once again and pushed him out the door.
"I gotta get dressed!" Bra closed her door and walked in her closet. Her closet was so big, a person could get lost in there. Bra didn't know what to wear, she had been on secretive meetings with boys before, but this wasn't any boy she was meeting with. It was the man of her dreams and he wanted to meet her. She fingered a short black dress but decided against it. She decided for a white skirt with a black tube top because it was still somewhat hot outside. Bra slipped on her black flip flops and looked in the mirror. She looked at her makeup. For Goten, I will go without.
Bra walked out the door and flew to Babel Park. She landed in the park and walked to the fountain and sat on the edge of it. She didn't know where Goten would meet her but looked around the park. She was so excited and had butterflies in her stomach. Wow, I can't believe I'm here waiting for Goten to meet me, Bra thought, but that doesn't mean he feels the same way about as I do about him. Bra was deep into self-doubt and excitement when she heard leaves crunching behind her. She swung around and saw Goten sneaking up. She half smiled, she didn't want to be too anxious.
"Hey Bra." Goten smiled and sat down next to Bra. His knee bumped hers and she shivered. Their thighs were touching, they were that close.
"Hi Goten." she peeped. Goten looked at her curiously. Bra coughed and turned her head.
"I wanted to talk about earlier today. What did you want to tell me? I really want to know. It's um kind of been bothering me." he said softly. The first thing that came to Bra's mind was that she was bothering him. She turned her head back toward him. What would she tell him? He wanted to know. But did he want to know what she really had to tell him. Did he want to know that his best friend's kid sister was in love with him? Did he want to know that she loved him, that she couldn't live without him. Would Bra tell him what she thought she wanted to know? She tucked a stray strand of hair back behind her ear. Bra looked into his eyes and she saw something there that she had never noticed. It was deep and it made his eyes glow. She wondered if he knew it was there.
"I don't know if you're ready to hear what I have to say." Alarms went off in Bra's head. Now he'll really want to know what she had to say. Goten took her hands in his. Fire seeped through Bra's belly even though she knew the gesture was supposed to be comforting.
"I think...I know I am." He replied. Bra wondered if he was wanting some type of revelation from her. Goten's thumb caressed her palm and she lost all thought. Bra closed her eyes dreamily and moved her head towards Goten to whisper in his ear. Bra almost faltered but then Goten's thumb moved to the inside of her wrist and she almost lost it, she knew there was no going back.
"I, Bra Briefs, love you, Son Goten. I have always loved you." she said into his ear. What would he say? Would he push her away? Goten's hands pulled away from hers and she thought it was all over. But Goten's arms came to encircle her body. One of his hands rested on her back and the other moved to caress her face. Bra could barely see into his eyes but knew that the glow there had gotten brighter.
"In light of that, I also have something to tell you." Goten said. Bra knew now that he'd profess his love to her. Tell her that her feelings were returned. Wrap her up in his arms and never let her go. She felt like she had been waiting forever for him. For him just to say three little words that had consumed her all her life. Bra rested her head on his shoulder. She could wait just a few more moments.
"I'm sorry," Bra's head snapped up, Goten's arms loosened, "but this can't happen. You're too young. I know that what you feel for me is just a crush, Bra. You don't know the meaning of what you just said." he finished softly. Anger flashed through Bra's mind.
"No," Bra said harshly, "you don't know the meaning of those words. How dare you try to tell me my own feelings. You... how could you think you know the meaning of 'I love you' when you think you love Marron! I know what I feel, and I know what's in my heart. But you, Son Goten, are doomed to never know the feeling of my love, ever!" Goten looked at her in disbelief. She looked at him once more and kissed him with everything she had in her, with all her love and pent up feelings. She put her very soul that longed to be with him in that kiss. Bra pulled away until she was 2 inches from his face.
"That," she said sadly, "is what I could give you, if you wanted it." Bra stood up and flew away, leaving the love of her life alone to ponder her words on the fountain in Babel Park.
Goten stared after her, she was, quite possibly the only woman who really loved him, and he had denied her that. Goten wondered if he had just made the biggest mistake in his life.
Author's note: Good stuff, no? Oh geez, I really didn't want Bra to confess her love that early to him..but things happen. It's obvious that Goten is caught up on Marron, what a jerk. Lol. What will Bra do? Seriously, I don't know so some suggestions would be nice! Thanks and if you're reading this note then you better review!!
