Changes

Author's Note: I haven't written a Goten/ Marron fic in a while and it took me a while to finish A Forbidden Love! I've finally seen the final episodes of DBZ so this story is going to start with me changing how the show ended and moving into GT. Trunks is going to be 20, Goten is 19, Marron is 17, Bra is 16, Uubu is 17, and Pan is 14. I changed the ages for later events in the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own DB/Z/GT or its characters!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Chapter 8

Marron had her feet propped up on the desk in front of her while Pan sat on Bra's bed reading a magazine, and Bra went through all the outfits in her closet. Goku had been back a week now and wasn't doing too good on getting on Goten's good side, so he decided he was going to take the Z teens to Uubu's village to meet him and help him help out the people. Marron had honestly believed that this was a bad idea, but she didn't say anything to Goku, who was obviously extremely proud of his idea. "So this Uubu guy... what di you think he looks like?" Bra asked. Marron looked up at the cieling thoughtfully.

"Well at the tornament he looked a bit on the scrawny side... course it couldn't have taken Goku too long to introduce the poor kid to a good meal and a few mucles." she answered. Bra nodded.

"Right, so i should dres to impress?" she asked. Marron rolled her eyes. There was most likely a chance they'd be doing work in feilds and all. She couldn't figure out why Bra would want to mess up a perfectly good outfit, but that was Bra for you. Course, Pan had her own personality, which included speaking her mind.

"WHY are you going to wear a good outfit out to go do crop work and all?" she asked. Bra scowled and Marron let out a laugh. Becoming annoyed by Pan and Marron, Bra quickly grabbed a pair of tight fitting jeans and t- shirt.

"There, how's this." she asked Both her freinds grinned and gave her thumbs up. There was a knock on the door and Marron got up, letting oten in. "Hey Goten, where's your dad at?" asked Bra as she looked in her mirror and pulled her hair up into a ponytail Goten dropped onto her bed, a frown on his handsome face. He was wearing baggy blue jeans and a white tee.

"He's with Trunks trying to get Vageta to come along." he answered. "What a waste of time."

"I take it you don't want to go." said Marron simply. Goten crossed his arms.

"I know this is one of his sad attempts to get close to me... Makes a lot of sense to drag me off to meet the guy he abandoned raising me to train."

"Aw c'mon Uncle Goten. You know how grandpa is. He can never turn down a good fight, let alone a good sparring partner." said Pan. Goten didn't responde.

"Well all I know is you had better not put poor Goku down. I want to see what's so special about this Uubu kids." said Marron, placing her hands on her hips and giving Goten a serious look.

"I won'r. My mom threatened me with having to cook my own meals for a month." Goten informed. Bra rolled her eyes.

"Saiyan men and food. I honestly don't understand it."

"Its the only thing that keeps them sane I guess." said Pan thoughtfully. "You've seen my grandpa when it comes to food.

"It has to only have an effect on the men. You'd never see me wat the waymy dad, Goku, and Goten eat." Bra muttered.

"What? Afraid you'll mess up your girlish figure?" They turned to see Trunks had entered the room, wearing an outfit much like Goten. Marron was personally happy he was actually out of that suit. Everytime she and Goten tried to get him to hang out, he'd come along, but he'd always have on a suit.

"Shut up, boxer boy." Bra muttered as she grabbed a capsule case off her dresser. "Where's Goku-san at?"

"He's outside waiting for us." he answered cheerfully.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"There's the village!" called Goku, who was flying ahead of the teens wearing the blue gi he had grown to like and had worn to the tornament years back. Goten looked down at the village and Marron placed a finger on his chin, making him look at her as she sat in his arms. She hadn't learned to fly, and honestly didn't want to, remembering back when she was three and Goten and Trunks tried to teach her to fly. She smiled at him.

"Smile, Goten-kun. We're about to make a new friend." she piped. Goten smiled a bit. He and Trunks had always teased her when they were younger, but she never seemed to loose trust and faith in them, always knowing they 'd be there to protect her. Then she turned int oa teenager, beat him in the martial arts tournament, and didn't rely on him and Trunks hardly anymore. She seemed to be the one there to make them feel better and smile lately. She had even helped Goten out through a few of his break ups.

"Hey down there!" called Trunks, flying over head. Goten and Marron both looked at him. "I think we should try landing." he answered. They nodded and opne at a time, made touch downs. Bra sighed and looked around cheerfully.

"So nice to be back on land!" she piped and looked around. "Wow... So this is where you spent so much time, Goku-san?" she asked. Goku grinned and nodded.

"What do you think?" he asked.

"I say its a good thing my grandpa sponsored this place. Look at all the people." answered Pan. Suddenly, a dark skinned young man around Bra's age, with a black mohawk came running up, followed by two younger kids arouhnd his complexion, one a girl, and the other a boy who also had a mohawk. Goten and Trunks exchanged looks.

"Guys, this is Uubu and two of his younger siblings, Keko and Lei." piped Goku. They all smiled and waved. Uubu grinned a bit.

"So, these are the family you talked so much about?" he asked brightly. Goku nodded, introducing each of the teens. Goten couldn't help but notice that the little girl, Keko, was looking at him and Trunks in great interest. The boy was looking from Marron to Bra, and back to Marron. "I'm glad you could all come... I was hoping to meet you soon."

"We met oce before. At the tournament, remmeber?" Marron piped suddenly, being the first of them to finally speak out. Uubu blinked and stared at her for a while before a wide grin crossed his face.

"Oh yeah! But at the tournament you went by the name Sakura..." he siad and Marron smiled.

"Long story."

"She wanted to get revenge basically." said Trunks. Goten let out a laugh.

"And man did she get it." Slowly, the teens began to get use to each other, though Bra was strangely silent. Pan turned to her friend and looked slightly confused. Goten was confused as well. Bra was the loudest and possibly one of the most welcoming people out of their little group. He was surprised hse hadn't spoken up before Marron.

"Bra, are you ok? You've been awful quiet." said Pan.

"That's right Bra, why don't you be polite and shake hands." ordered trunks, pushing his sister forward. Bra blushed and held her hand out, beaming up at Uubu.

"Sorry, my name is Bra Breifs... Nice to meet you." she said. Uubu blushed and shook her hand.

"Nice to meet you too." Goten blinked in confusion, but Marron explained things quickly.

"I think they like each other." she whispered brightly as they became slightly more comfortable and blushed less. Suddenly, Lei came up to Marron, looking up at her with innocent, shinning eyes.

"You're very pretty." he said. Marron grinned down at the boy and knelt down.

"Youre not that bad yourself." The boy held out a flower. Marron's eyes began to shine. "How adorable!" she squealed and hugged the boy. "I've always wanted a kid brother like this." Trunks laughed, he was holding Keko in his arms, who was sticking her tongue out at a scowling Pan.

"They're pretty sweet, Uubu. Where are your other siblings at?" asked Trunks looking around curiously. Uubu looked from Bra to Trunks.

"They're with mother at the crops... You're welcome to come with me to meet them." he said cheerfully. They all agreed. As they made their way toward the fields, Goten caught Goku's eye and saw his dad was genuienely happy on the turnout.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"So Uubu, I expect you to come visit us around Capsule corp. some time soon." said Trunks later that evening as they got ready to leave for home. Uubu looked at them and saw they were serious,so he smiled brightly. He was obviously very happy to have made great new friends and the fact that Goten wasn't upset with him for stealing his dad away.

"Yeah, I'd love to that." he piped. They grinned.

"You should come by tomorrow." said Marron. Uubu looked at her in confusion. "Yeah, we're all going to hang out, spar, shop, and get ice cream. It'll be a real treat." piped the blonde. Uubu smiled a bit a her. She had a completely differnt affect on him than Bra did. Bra sometimes made him nervous and clumsy. Marron was a pretty girl, but she didn't seem to have to try and get attention- not that Bra did- but somethings the blonde did seemed to catch his attention, as did the things Pan did.

"Sure, I guess its time I had some real fun away from home." Uubu piped. Marron nodded and Goten slapped him on the back.

"That's right, time to venture away from the nest! Your real adventure is about to begin!" Uubu laughed. Goku spok a lot about Goten and he saw why. Goten did resemble his father still, though not as much as when he was younger. Now their personalities seemed to be a little alike.

"We'll see about noon then?" asked Pan, levitating slightly in the air at Trunks's side. "I'd love to see how much my gramps has taught you!"

"Yeah, I'll see you then!" answered Uubu. He smiled brightly and looked at Bra. She smiled.

"Just come by CC, ok. It'll be pretty easy to find." he nodded. Bra grinned and levitated into the air. Goten picked Marron up into his arms and follwed her lead.

"See ya tomorrow!" the called. Uubu waved as they slowly began to vanish. A wide grin spread across his face. His life was actually improving! he actaully had a reason and place for leaving the village for a while.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"I like Uubu, he's pretty nice." said Bra brightly as they flew threw the star filled sky and towards ome. Goku was flying slightly ahead, talking cheerfully to himself about the great meal that was waiting for him at home. Trunks looked over at his sister with a raised eyebrow. When Vageta was around, he was usually the one to threaten any guys away from Bra, but Trunks had forgotten his duties tonight and allowed his sister to get a little too close to this guy.

"Yeah, he seemed to be pretty taken by you, B-chan." called Marron from Goten's arms. The girls grinned at each other. They had disappeared during sometime during their trip with Pan and were talking, grinning and smiling. When Goten had appeared over Pan's shoulder, asking what they were talking about, they all went silent and grinned. Marron just tapped him gently on the cheek and told him he didn't want to know.

"He's really sweet. Nothing like Uncle and Trunks." said Pan, earning a scowl from both demi-saiyans.

"I'll have you know, plenty of women think I'm very sweet!" called Goten. Pan rolled her eyes and Trunks smiled. Goten had been in enough relationships, so what he said had to have been true.

"We're nearing Capsule Corp! I think this is where we split up, Trunks!" called Goku. They nooded.

"See you guys tomorrow!" called Bra as she flew off after her brother, waving at Marron and Pan, who waved back.

"And don't be late." called Pan cheerfully. She grinned widely before coming up to Goten and Marron. "Marron, you should let me teach you to fly. Then you won't have to rely on my uncle or Trunks all the time." Marron frowned.

"Yeah, that's the last thing I need is trunks nad Goten dropping me off the top of buildings again..." Marron muttered bitterly. Goten grinned innocently.

"Ah c'mon Marron. We're not little kids any more." he piped. "If you like, I'll help out in teaching you to fly." Marron raised an eyegrow at him.

"I dunno... I think I'd rather spar with Vageta..." She stopped when Goten looked at her with puppy dog eyes. "I- I don't... fine." Goten and Pan both grinned triumphantly. Goku looked over his shoulder at the three teens and grinned.

"Hey Marron, if you like, I'll help out as well." he called.

"Thanks Goku-san. I think I'd like that better than trusting Pan and Goten." she piped. Goku grinned and nodded. He looked ahead and turned back to them.

"Goten, I'll take Panny home, maybe you should get Marron home before Krillin sends 18 out as a search party and they begin tearing up the city for their daughter!" Goten nodded and they split up. As they flew towards Master Roshi's island, Marron cuddled up closer to Goten and closed her eyes.

"I'll actually miss this after you guys teach me how to fly." she informed him tiredly. Goten smiled a bit. She had no clue how much he was going to miss these moments as well. he had grown quite comfortable with carrying Marron around where ever they went. It was their only chances to truely bond and no one would ask what was going on between then. Goten sighed and looked at Marron, who was tugging absently at his shirt, a tired look on her face, as well as a tired smile. It was the only time he could be close to her and not feel as if he were cheating on Paris.
