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 9

Pan groaned and rolled over, groping for her phone, which was ringing off the hook. She growled and sat up, snatching the phone violently off the hook and glancing at her clock- 9:00 am. "Hello..." she said groggily. For someone to be waking her up early on the day of her summer break and a Saturday, they had better be in great danger and dying. Unfortunatly, no one was dying, Bra was just being her old annoying self again.

"Pan? What are you doing!" Bra screamed on the other line. Pan cringed slightly. "It's 9:00 am and you're not even wake!"

"How would you know?" asked Pan groggily. There was silence- a long silence and Pan began to doze off, the phone still in her hand. "That's how I know! You fell asleep didn't you, Pan!?" Bra called on the other side, snapping the fourteen year old girl out of her sleepy state.

"I wasn't sleep!" Pan shouted back. She sat up fully, dangling her feet off the side of her bed. "What do you want again?"

"You've gotta be by here by noon, remember? We're going to stop by Marron's today for her quick flying lesson before we do everything else." Pan frowned a bit. When did she tell Bra about giving Marron flying lessons? She knew Marron was going to freak out if both Goten and Trunks wanted to teach her. The blonde would probably rather let the old pervert teach her than the two demi-saiyans.

"Bra... Goten, Grandpa and I were going to be the ones teaching Marron to fly today." Pan informed. She could tell that Bra was most likey awving her hand in a dismissive way.

"Yeah, I called her and she told me before being so rude as to hang up on me. But Marron's not going to get much done if Goten's teaching her then. Maybe I should bring my dad along..."

"NO! My grandpa is going to be there, Bra!" Pan announced, becoming obviously annoyed by the girl on the other line. Bra let out a sigh on the other line.

"Fine! But you had better be here on time. Uubu is coming over today!" she saids and hubg up. Pan sighed and placed her phone back down on the reciever. Today was going to be a long day. Who knew how much destruction was going to be caused.

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

"I don't think I want to this anymore." muttered Marron. The Z teens and Goku were sitting outside of Kame House, where they were going to give Marron her firdt flying lesson. 18 was sitting in a hammock with head phones on, ignoring the teens, while Roshi, Oolong, Turtle, and Krillin watched. Trunks placed a supporting hair on Marron's shoulder and smiled at her reassuringly.

"Relax Marron-chan." he said cheerfully. "Once you start getting the hang of this you'll love it. Goten and I will even teach you how to do flips." Goku laughed when Marron gave the lavendar haired saiyan a look. Goten came up to Marron and held out both his hands.

"Alright, let's see how well you can control your ki, huh?" he piped. Marron placed her hands in his.

"It shouldn't be too hard for her. She can already do ki blast after all." said Goku, crossing his arms and watching as the blonde stood in front of his son and tried to concentrate.

"This is soooo pointless..." Marron growled under her breath.

"Concentrate Marron. I mean, if Bra could learn, you can too." said Pan. Bra grinned for a while, beofre understanding what Pan meant by that and shoving her. Goku concentrated closely on the blonde before noticing something. She was looking straight ahead at Goten, and not down

"Try thinking happy thoughts." The boy teased, causing her to laugh, but eventually, her feet began to leave the ground. "Great..."

"Wow... she learned faster than I did..." muttered Uubu as the girl came further off the ground. Goten grinned at her before looking over at Trunks.

"Told you I was a better teacher than you." he piped. Trunks rolled his eyes.

"Try letting go of her hands and let's see how far she gets." he suggested. Goten obeyed, but Marron didn't get too far before falling right on top of him. Bra and Pan both went into hysterics, rolling around on the ground. Goku and Uubu were both taken by surprise, But 18 was simply sitting in her hammok, shaking her head in a knowing manner. "Looks like she lost her happy thought."

"Shut up Trunks." muttered Marron, pushing herself off of Goten before turning to Goku with pleading eyes. "Goku-san, maybe it would be less painful if you taught me the basics." she said hopefully. Goku laughed and agreed to this.

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

"Marron's a pretty fast learner." said Trunks as they stared up in the sky where Goku was trying to get the blonde to stop panicking and let him go. She continued to scream at the saiyan that if he dare let her fall to her death, she'd personally come back and kill him. Goku reassured her that he wasn't going to let anything happen though. "Though I doubt she'll get much done if she doesn't stop clinging to Goku."

"Leave her alone. She's still a bit traumatized from what you and Goten did to her." said Bra causally as they watched from the ground, Marron slowly letting Goku go, but making sure he was still there to grab if she needed. "I'd have to say she was pretty brave." Marron let go of Goku fully and floated in the air for a while before cheering triumphantly.

"Ha, she's done it!" cheered Pan. "Now I get to teach her how to control it so she can move places." Trunks looked at his watch.

"We'll have to save that lesson for later. We've got a schedule to go by. I've got a meeting at six tonight." he informed and cupped his hands to his mouth. "Hey Marron, let's call it a day and head out to the mall!" he called.

"The mall? OK!" she cheered. They all said their good byes, and Goten grabbed hold of Marron, taking off at full speed towards the wall while the blonde waved good bye to her family.

"Check it out Marron! Tomorrow, you and I are going to be flying all across the sky." called Pan. Marron looked over at her.

"What, you're going to teahc me how to control my ki better?" she asked. Pan nodded and turned so she was flying backwards, but looking as if she was sitting in the air.

"Yeah! just think of a;; the things you'll be able to do with us when you can fly. You can already fight and shoot ki blast... Though I'm sure we can teach you some real things."

"Yeah, make you a REAL member of our team... I mean, its not like Bra fights, and we need another fighting member, don't we?"

"Yeah, but we've got Uubu now! We've evened out. Now we have to make him a real member." Uubu slowed down and looked at them in confusion.

"What does that mean?" Both Trunks and Goten grinned widely.

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

Pan, Bra, and Marron sat and watched as Uubu scarfed down one bowl of ice cream after another. They were sitting at a booth and Goten and Trunks had the indian boy eating twenty ice cream sundaes on his own to prove he was made to be part of their little group, which Marron found to be very stupid. Pan covered her face with a magazine as people watched. "Sick yet?" asked a very entertained Trunks. Uubu shook his head as he went on to his 18th bowl. Maron groaned and burried her face into her hands.

"So disgusting." she muttered. When Uubu had finished, he sat back in his seat and patted his belly with a satisfied smile.

"That was great. I've never had a sundae before." he piped.

"Obviously." muttered Goten, though he was smiling. "That's only half of how many I can eat." People were still looking at them, and there were some girls whispering and looking in their direction.

"Maybe we should leave." Bra suggested as she put a capsule in her pocket. The capsule was what contained everything she had bought on their little shopping trip.

"That's right! Time for sparring. You up for the challenge Uubu?" asked Goten cheerfully. The indian boy looked at his stomach before grinning and nodding. As they began to leave the food court, two girls came and stood in their way, looking directly at Goten in an accusing way.

"May we help you?" asked Bra impatiently. The brunnet nodded and looked directly at Goten.

"Your name is Goten isn't it?" Goten nodded, the look of confusion returning to his face. "Why aren't you with Paris?" Pan heard Marron make a noise of annoyance and saw Bra roll her eyes. They all knew where this could possibly be going. They all knew Goten never went out with a girl for too long, but he seemed to like Paris enough to stick with her a bit longer than just the first date.

"That's right!" announced the red haired girl. "She's been expecting you to call her all day."

"Yeah but-"

"No buts!" announced both girls, holding up their hands to silence him.

"You have to go to her house now and try and make it up to her." Suddenly, Marron grabbed hold of Goten's arm.

"Sorry, he can't." she siad, pulling him along. "We all had plans today, and I could have sworn Goten told Paris all about it." she said. The girls looked in shock.

"That's right Goten!" piped Bra, taking hold of his other arm to help Marron drag him off. "You called Paris this morning and told her all about our busy plans today." Quickly, the teens got Goten outside and Marron walked on ahead with her arms crossed and an annoyed look on her face.

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

"Wow Goten, I can't believe you almost fell for something like that." teased Trunks when they had reached Capsule Corp and were now sparring. Goten rolled his eyes. This was the third time Trunks had said this to him. They had informed him that Paris most likely wasn't expecting a call and they were going to trick him into calling her and ruining his fun for the day. That hadn't explained why Marron was so annoyed though. Trunks-san came outside and looked at the two friends sparring. They hadn't seen much of him. Trunks had said he was sticking around to get his ship fixed and help out Bulma.

"Hey there. Mind if I give it a shot? I haven't had a good spar in a while." he siad brightly. All the teens looked at him in confusion and shock.

"You wanna spar with me or Goten?" asked Trunks. Trunks-san chuckled.

"I was hoping I could take on each one of you at a time." he answered. Goten looked at Trunks with a raiased eyebrow, but he just shrugged.

"Well, maybe you can spar with us, but not Uubu... May not be safe." said Goten in a knowing manner. "Right, so who can he spar first?"

"I'd actually like to spar Marron." The blonde looked up from her magazine and raised an eyebrow at the older version of her childhood friend.

"I usually don't spar with Trunks any more." she informed. "Vageta always claims that it looked like one of us is ready to claim the other as mate becauseTrunks doesn't fight right."

"He flirts." Goten informed and Trunks grinned. Trunks-san rubbed the back of his neck.

"But you spar with Goten." he said. Marron looked at Goten and then Trunks- san.

"He's got a girlfriend so its all innocent sparring." she siad.

"Oh c'mon Marron. Just fight him! I want to see how good he is." informed Bra. Marron glared at her.

"I don't want to. I don't feel like sparring with ANY of you." she muttered and stomped away into the building. "I'm going to help Bulma-san out with something!"

"Talk about stubbirn." muttered Goten, shaking his head in a knowing way. "She wasn't even like that why she was younger."

"Everyone changes." said Trunks with a sigh. He turned to his older version. "Why do you want to spar with her any way?"

"Wel I came back here nineteen years ago when the androids were running about... And I faced of with Android 17 an 18... 18 kicked my ass and my dad's." he seemed a bit embarrased by this, but continued. "i was just wondering if Marron was as good as her mom."

"I don;t think she's better than 18, but she's on her way to be the strongest human right now." said Pan and looked up. "Hey, who's that?" Marron had just come outside with Bulma as a car came up. It was Yamcha, who the teens hadn't seen in years.

"Uh, Bulma. I need to borrow these kids, if that's ok with you."
