~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gotten opened his eyes when he felt a cool breeze go by. He smiled when her felt Marron shiver and lean closer into his arms. He was sitting on the ground leaned against the building as Marron sat in his lap with her back to him. He had his arms wrapped around her. He slowly let one hand drift up to her hair and he stared to twist it around his finger. He smiled when Marron did not wake up but just continued her little nap. Goten could hear the party still going on. He was surprised some one had not come looking for them yet. Just as he was thinking that, Bulma came around the corner. She smiled, "I FOUND THEM!"

Marron's head shot up at the shout. She looked around quickly slightly scared not remembering where she was. Then she felt Goten still playing with her hair, and she smiled and leaned back.

Bulma smiled, "I'm sorry to wake you dear. Your parents were looking for you. Same as yours Goten."

They both stood slowly. Goten moved his head to either side and stretched his arms above his head. "Feels good to move. I was getting a little stiff there."

Marron blushed slightly, "Sorry."

"It's okay. You just looked so peaceful. I was not about to do anything to disturb you."

Just then Chi-Chi and 18 came around the corner. Chi-Chi had her arms crossed and stared at Goten, "Son Goten, I thought I raised you better. We have this party for you, and then you pull a vanishing act. Now, apologize to Bulma."

Bulma laughed as Goten looked like he was reverting back to a 7 year old due to his mother's words, "Sorry Bulma."

"It's okay Goten. From what I saw when I got here, you had a really good reason."

18 raised an eyebrow and looked at the two. She then shot a glance at Marron. Marron nodded. 18 nodded in return and showed a brief smile, "You two try not to disappear anymore." She then turned and walked off.

Chi-Chi could not hide her slight excitement, "And what was that reason?"

Goten smiled and reached behind him as Marron took his hand, "Mom. I'm staying this time. I may need to crash in my old room till I find a place though."

Chi-Chi ran up to her son and hugged him, "That's great! I'm going to have my family all back together in one general location." She then noticed he was holding Marron's hand, "Are you two-" She stopped when she saw them both blush deeply. She pushed Goten aside and hugged Marron, "Didn't I tell you to trust my boy? I knew you two would come back together."

"Mom! It's not like we're getting married or anything. We just decided to see what happens," injected Goten.

Chi-Chi smiled at her son, "Of course dear. I just always thought you two would make such a cute couple. You would not believe how much hell this girl has gone through this past year waiting for you." She then walked off with Bulma.

Goten turned and looked at Marron, "Marron, I'm so sorry for all of this."

Marron smiled, "It's okay Goten. It all ended well."

Goten smiled and tightened his grip on Marron's hand, "Right before I left, Gohan said that he thought you were worth me risking getting hurt again."

"Really? And?"

Goten smiled and traced his hand along her face, "You are so worth that risk. But it's not even a risk. I know that you would never do anything to cause me pain. And I won't do anything to cause you pain. Not anymore." They then went back to the party. Bulma offered to allow all of the younger generation a chance to spend the night at Capsule Corp. so they could all catch up. They decided to do so.

Later that night, they were all sitting around watching TV. Trunks and Pan took up one couch while Goten and Marron took up the other. Bra sat in the floor while Cole sat in a chair with Holly sitting on the arm of the chair. Jay was walking around on the back ground talking on his cell, "Yeah I know Brad…I know…Yeah…Sure, here he is. Goten." Jay handed his phone to Goten.

"Hello?"

"Hey Goten, how's Japan?"

"It's good. We're just sitting back and relaxing right now."

"That's good. I told you you needed some time off. So, I guess it's safe to assume since you plan to stay there that you patched things up with your girl?"

"You know, if you people keep saying this kind of stuff, I will think that you people set me up."

"Well, all I did was call Mrs. Breifs to make sure she set up the party, made sure Marron would be there, made sure we had a way to still record with you in Japan, and have your stuff packed and ready to go at a moment's notice."

"You're too good sometimes you know it?"

"It's a skill."

"Brad…thanks man. I can't tell you how great it feels to be back."

"I know man. Anyway, I'll let you get back to your girl before she starts to get lonely. I'll be there in about two weeks to set up the studio we will be using and we'll talk about tour dates. And we'll find a way to make sure Marron is on the road with you."

"Thanks man."

"It's nothing man. Well, catch you later."

Goten handed the phone back to Jay. Marron leaned her head against Goten, "So?"

"Well, he says that he will be here in a few weeks to talk about the tour."

"Oh," Marron frowned at the thought of Goten leaving just after he got back.

Goten smiled and put his arm around Marron pulling her closer, "And we'll just have to have another one of these parties before we leave."

"We?"

Goten smiled, "You don't think I would let you out of my sight would you? I got a lot of catching up to do." Goten then yawned and stood, "Well, I'm hitting the sack guys. See you all tomorrow." Goten then turned and went to his room. He changed into his boxers and laid on the bed. He was just about to fall asleep when the door slowly opened. He opened one eye and saw Marron standing there in an oversized top of a orange training gi. It was just like the one he had when he was little. She stood at the end of the bed, "Room for one more?"

"Huh?"

"I don't want to wake up, and you not be there. Please?"

Goten smiled as me made room. Marron laid down beside him with her back to him. He draped an arm over her and the two were soon asleep.

---Next Morning---

By morning, Marron was curled up against Goten's chest. They were now facing each other. Goten laid with his eyes open. He had woken up hours ago, but he refused to move. He decided that he would much rather just stay right here with Marron. She would kill him if she woke up and he was not there. He tried to move his arm, but Marron held tighter onto him, "No, don't leave me Goten." Her eyes slowly opened. She smiled when she saw that Goten was still there, "It wasn't a dream was it?"

Goten smiled back. Even after just waking up, her hair a mess, no make-up, and morning breath, she was still the most beautiful person he had ever seen. He pushed a stray stand of hair out of her face. He pressed his forehead against hers, "No, it wasn't. I'm back for good this time."

Marron snuggled even closer to Goten, "Can we stay like this a little longer?"

Goten chuckled, "As long as you want Mar. This day is for you to make up everything that I have done to you."

Marron turned serious and looked at him, "Will you tell me the truth no matter what?"

Goten knew what was coming, "Sure."

"If you loved me so much, why did you leave?"

Goten took a deep breathe and looked into Marron's eyes. He tightened his grip around her, "Because of this."

"Huh?"

Goten rubbed her back with his hand as he talked, "If you had woken up this morning and said this was all one big mistake, I would not have been able to go on. Sometimes you will do anything just to protect that delusion in the back of your mind. I can't not be like this. I need to hold you when you are close. And to go back to the place where I would just sit back and admire you from afar, I could not do that anymore."

A few tears fell out of Marron's eyes. She smiled and hugged Goten tight, "I will never say this is a mistake. I need you too."

Goten smiled, Good, cause you're stuck with me." He started to close his eyes again.

Marron smirked, "Oh don't you even think of going back to sleep. What would your parents say if they found you and I in here?"

Goten chuckled, "My mom would probably say something about grandchildren then start planning a wedding." He then settled down ready to go back to sleep.

Marron knew she had to find a better way to get him up, "Goten…if you get up now, I'll make you breakfast?"

Goten quickly opened one eye, "With all my favorites?"

Marron smiled, "Anything you want."

Goten was automatically out of the bed and pulling Marron down the hall, "Come on Mar, food is calling!"
