Changes

Author's Note: I haven't written a Goten/ Marron fic in a while so this story is going to start with me changing how the show ended and moving into GT. Trunks is now 24, Goten is 23, Marron is 21, Bra is 20, Uubu is 20, and Pan is 18. I changed the ages for later events in the story. This is my attempt to make a interesting, yet LONG G/M, T/P, and U/B fic without losing interest and giving it a stupid ending like I've done before.

Disclaimer: I don't own DB/Z/GT or its characters! Jensei, Marron's little brother in this fic, is property of Maria Ochoa (hope I spelled that right). He is NOT mine.

Chapter 31

Pan landed outside Capsule Corp. and smiled brightly when she sensed her uncle and Trunks were both there. She hadn't seen them for almost two months since they had returned home from their trip to Disney World, so she hadn't seen much of the others with all the studying she had to do. She went inside and was surprised to see Marron wasn't there. Goten was talking on his cell phone to someone and she could only think it was Marron until she saw the look on Trunks's face. "Who is my uncle talking to?" she asked quietly. Just then, Chichi came in the room looking royally pissed. She heard Pan's question and scowled deeply.

"I thought you had heard by now." she said, leaving her granddaughter even more confused.

"Marron and Goten broke up, Pan." said Bulma as she entered the room as Goten left, still talking on his phone. "I think something had happened during the trip because a week after we returned Bra told me they had broke up." Pan stood and stared at them in shock.

"You've gotta be kidding... I mean, they were so happy together." she said. Trunks let out a sigh and Pan looked at him.

"They got into an arguement during the trip because Goten was seen with another girl and obviously couldn't give much of a good reason behind it... Well they didn't break up but got into an arguement when we got back home and Marron broke it off with him." he explained. Pan was still in shock over the whole situation and didn't know if she should be beating the hell out of her uncle or crying. Goten walked back in and grinned.

"Well everyone, I've got a hot date... Oh hey Panny." She glared at him and sat next to Trunks, not looking at him or acknowledging his prescence. He looked confused, but shrugged and turned to his mother. "I may be back late..."

"Goten-: When the room went silent, both Pan and he uncle turned to see what it was. Marron had just walked in with Vageta, raising an eyebrow as they all looked at her silently and expectantly. Vageta scowled.

"What?!" he snapped and Bulma rolled her eyes. Marron shook her head and smiled at Pan. Goten turned back to his mother.

"I'll see you later tonight, then." he said and glanced at Marron, smiling a little before leaving. Pan jumped up immediately.

"Marron, what the hell! Do you know where he's going?!" she said. Marron nodded and shrugged a shoulder carelessly. Pan was getting angrier and angrier with the whole situation and didn't even know why. "Marron, why'd you guys break up?"

"Because your uncle is a complete ass hole- no offense Chichi-san." said the blonde, but Chichi could only sigh in her own misery.

"You two were suppose to get married and give me beautiful grandchildren!" she cried as Bulma patted her on the back in a soothing manner. Marron just sighed.

"Hey, I could have done worst... Wanna hang out in the city? Trunks promised me a shopping trip-"

"What? When did I do that?" He asked, sitting up straight and frowning at the blonde.

"You promised it the day I broke up with Goten." Marron answered in a knowing manner. "You told me that if I needed something to get my mind off that bakayaro you would take me shopping. And now that Pan seems to be suffering too, you can take her as well." Pan smiled a little as Trunks groaned and sank into the couch.

"Where's Bra at?" she asked.

"She made Uubu take her out... Poor guy." said Trunks and Marron snorted.

"Leave them alone. I think Uubu likes the attention." said Marron. It was Pan turn to laugh. She highly doubted that, but said nothing. She was still trying to figure out what was the deal with her uncle and Marron. She couldn't help but to worry about the blonde. After all, she did do pretty well at hiding any hurt she was possibly experiencing.
-------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Goten, over here!" Goten looked and grinned at the brunett standing outside the ice cream shop in a mini skirt and tank top. She remided him a little of Paris in appearence, but had gorgeous green eyes. He ran across the street and smiled brightly at her.

"Hey Velice, its been a while." He said (Yeah, I know Velice and Paris are suppose to be the same person, thanks to US dubbing, but lets pretend they aren't). The girl smiled up at him and nodded, hugging onto his arm.

"It has been a while. Everytime I see you you'r e dating someone new." she said. Goten blushed slightly and nodded.

"Yeah, but I suppose those days are over." He said and Velice smiled, kissing his cheek quickly.

"I'm glad. You're all mine now." she said. Goten sighed and nodded, a faint smile on his face. He didn't notice he had spaced out until he heard her let out an excited squeal. "Goten, look over there. Is that Trunks Briefs?" She asked. Goten blinked nad began to blush when he saw Marron and Pan with Trunks. "I wonder why he's in the city... And who are those two girls he's with? We should go speak!"

"Uh, how about we don't. He seems pretty busy." said Goten. Velive looked at him in confusion. "I'll buy you an ice cream cone, how about that?"

"Oh, ok!" She said, smiling at him happily. Goten smiled back and got ready to walk off, but when he turned around, Marron was standing in front of him and looking up at him expectantly.

"Really Goten-kun. I know your mom taught you better." she said and glanced at Velice. "She reminds me of Paris."

"Marron..." Goten began but she ignored him and turned away.

"I just wanted to mess with your head a little bit... I'm leaving in a few days and thought you should know now since I won't get a chance any other time." Goten blinked in confusion.

"Leaving? Where are you going?" Marron glanced over her shoulder at him.

"I thought your mom told you. I'm leaving for America to study." Goten stared at her in shock. He didn't know why he should care, but he almost fell apart at this news. "I just thought I'd meet your new girlfriend is all... bye." she said and walked off. Velice nudged Goten.

"Who was she?" She asked. Goten was silent for a while and sighed.

"Childhood friend." he said.
------------------------------------------
"Well honestly, Marron, you don't have to go because of Goten." said Bra knowingly. The girls were all gathered in Marron's room, helping her pack while the others prepared a going away party. It was raining outside, but Goten was still out on his date. Marron sighed as she put away her capsule case.

"I'm not leaving because of him. I'm leaving because I've been presented with an oppurtunity and no longer have a boyfriend to hold me back." she said. An upset look crossed Bra's face and she crossed her arms stubbornly.

"You and Goten, I swear." Marron smiled and pulled a locket out of her shirt and showed it to the girls.

"I think he stil care about me but doesn't want to admit it... He didn't even take this back." She said quietly as she opened it and showed them a picture inside of a younger her and Goten at the beach. She sighed and shook her head. "I dunno, I'll never figure this out." she said and her friends looked at her sympathetically.

"Lets head down to the party. Get your mind off things." said Bra. Marron nodded and followed them out, glancing over her shoulder at her room before sighing and closing the door. Jensei met them half way and grinned.

"Is Goten-kun gonna come to your party, Mar-chan?" He asked anxiously. Marron sighed and picked him up. It had been a week since Goten had started dating Velice and Jensei hardly had ever seen him.

"Probably not... I don't think he has the time." she answered. Jensei gave a sad sigh and nodded and asked about Goten no more the rest of the night.
------------------------------------------------------------
Goten walked into Trunks's office and looked around. "Trunks, I can't find Marron!?" he said. The people that were in the meeting all turned and looked at Goten in shock and confusion. He was dripping wet and looking at his embarassed best friend expectantly.

"Uh, excuse me..." said Trunks ad got up, dragging Goten out of the room. "Goten, what the hell.. Why're you so wet? You didn't fly here in that storm-" Goten groaned and pushed his hair out of his face.

"Trunks, I need to know where Marron is." He said. Trunks looked at his friend in shock. His best friend KNEW the blonde would be leaving and no one had seen him in a week. He couldn't honestly think she was still around. "Trunks-"

"Goten... Marron's gone. She left a few hours ago." Goten paled and looked at him in shock.

"No way... I know she's still here. No one can travel in this weather." Trunks stared at his friend in shock and was about to say something when Goten looked out the window at the raging storm. Trunks opened his mouth but Goten turned and ran out.

"He's really lost it..."
--------------------------------------
Marron let out a sigh as she sat and waited for he flight. Thanks to the storm, there were some delayed flights and hers was one. She sighed and played absently with the locket around her neck. 'Why am I doing this?' she thought. She looked up when her flight number was called and followed an old woman. She took a seat next to the same old womn, next to the window. It was very dark out and she wondered if they'd be delayed even more. The old woman looked at her and smiled warmly.

"Hello dear... why are you leaving? I'm going to visit my son and his family." she said, taking a picture out of her large bag and showing Marron. The blonde smiled. It was going to be a long flight, so she knew the woman was just trying to make conversation.

"I'm trying to get away... and study." she said. The old woman smiled knowingly.

"A young man?"

"My best friend." answered Marron quietly. She sighed and looked out the window. 'I can't believe I'm leaving because of a guy.' she thought and watched from the window as the plane began moving. 'Bye Goten...'
---------------------------------------
"Dammit!" yelled Goten. He knew she wasn't gone because he could sense her just barely. A few people looked at him disapprovingly. He just glared back and flew over the large crowds, stopping to ask a few shocked people about a flight to America.

"The last one today is leaving now." said one woman he had asked. She pointed him in the direction and Goten swore outloud when he saw the plane about to take off.

"Uh, thanks miss." he said quickly and managed to get past the guards, running out onto the plane course. "STOP!" he yelled as if he could be heard. Noticing how dumb this was, he took off into the air and flew directly at the plane. Managing to catching up and jumping onto the windshield, glaring at the shocked pilots. "STOP!" One of the men reached shakily for the micrphone and the other began turning the plane around.

"Uh, attention passengers. It seems we have to turn around due to some... uh... technical difficulties." Marron rolled her eyes at this and looked out the window, sitting up straight as the plane stopped and people began getting off. It was raining harder than before and Goten was standing there, waiting expectantly. When she got off the plane, he didn't move as the angry blond stormed over to him and gave him a violent shove.

"Goten, what the hell!? I know you're the technical difficulty! What do you want!" she screamed at him, catching many peoples attention. Goten stared at her silently before getting down on both knees and looking at her with pleading eyes as he took her hands in his.

"Marron, don't leave me please." he said quietly, looking up at him with pleading eyes. Marron stared at him in shock.

"Goten-" she began but stopped when he took something out of his pocket.

"Marron... I've screwed up big time and I'm sorry... I'll never do it again, I swear. Please... will you marry me?" She stared at him in shock, not even noticing he had slipped the ring on her finger before he stood p and looked at her expectantly. She looked up at him and tears filled her yes, though it was hard to notice with all the rain.

"Well dear, whats your answer?!" Marron blinked when she heard someone's outburst and grinned up at Goten, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Course." she siad, wiping her face without thinking and throwing her arms around his neck, kissing him deeply as people stood back and watched, clapping. "I could never say good bye to you." she whispered against his lips.

ooc: So, what do you think? I must say I'm very happy with all the great reviews! :D Anyway, this is most definately not the last chapter of this fic, believe me.
