Disclaimer: I don't own DB/Z/GT or any of the characters or songs in this story. So basically I don't own squat. That includes the song in this chapter. It's by a band called Thousand Foot Krutch, so there you go.
A/N: Sorry to leave you people hanging for so long. I had a couple of new projects that I was working on. I figured that I would finish the last chapter and wrap this one up. I wanted this chapter to be absolutely perfect since it was the last. I flipped between a few endings. I would really like to thank everyone that reviewed this story. I am highly grateful and honor. Thanks bro.

---A Year Later---
The crowd roared around the Stadium in West City. Most of the Z Squad sat on the front row cheering their hearts out. Chi-Chi, Goku, Krillin, and 18 all stood backstage.
"Mom! Dad!"
18 turned around and showed a small smile as her husband was tackled by a blond blur. Krillin laughed as he returned his daughters hug, "How was your trip sweetie?"
"Oh, you would not believe the stuff we saw," stated Marron as she hugged her mom.
"I bet we would since you called us every night almost."
Chi-Chi hugged Marron, "So, have you been taking care of my baby?"
Marron blushed slightly, "We had the best time."
Holly came up and cleared her voice, "We're ready when you are Mar."
Marron nodded and cleared her throat. She walked onto the stage and looked at to the crowd as they cheered, "Ladies and Gentlemen, it is truly my honor to present to you Phenomenon!" The Crowd erupted as Marron ran off stage and leaned against the wall with the Son and Chestnut families as the band ran out onto stage and started their first song.
They were about half way through the concert when Goten took another drink of water. He looked out and showed a smile while he pulled his hair out of the way, "Wow, you people really are great. I must say that it feels really good to be home." The crowds cheers grew.
Goten looked off stage at Marron and smiled, "I got to say my life has changed a lot since I started this whole journey. I left Japan to find myself, and realized that I left the best part of me behind when I did.
"But while I was in New York, I met a wonderful friend. Her name was Jamie. She was originally meant to be the base play of this very band, but things don't always happen liked they should. She died right before we started recording. One of our favorite things was to sit in the park and play our music. One day we wrote this next song."
A steady bass rhythm started to play as Goten let go of his Guitar and held onto the mic.
If you like us
calling all riders

no place to hide us
all freedom fighters
let's unite us
switch on you're nitrous
and let's go
destination for navigation
man up you're stations
feel the sensation
surround invasion with communication
move quick we might avoid contamination
down here comes the sound
everyone pound you're feet
to this phenomenon
Now let's make it loud
let me show them all how
you move to this phenomenon
whoa open you're soul
maybe lose control
inside of this phenomenon
just let yourself go
we'll let everyone know
you moved to this phenomenon
Don't let these spiders
Crawl up beside us
they want to bite us
inject the virus
raise up you're lighters
praise to the righteous
need you to guide us
GET PREPARED TO GO
If you like us
calling all riders
roll up beside us
no place to hide us

Can't take it anymore
Shaken till we move the floor
what are we waiting for
LET'S GO
Tired of being ordinary
Don't care if there's people starring
I know you said you'd carry me ... on
I'm not invisible like you
Next time things get a little messed up
I'll shine but I'll never be seen through
I'm fine just trying to wake the rest up
down here comes the sound
everyone pound you're feet
to this phenomenon
Now let's make it loud
let me show them all how
you move to this phenomenon
whoa open you're soul
maybe lose control
inside of this phenomenon
just let yourself go
we'll let everyone know
you moved to this phenomenon
You moved to this phenomenon
you moved to this phenomenon
The Crowd roared as Goten stared out through his bangs and smiled at the crowd. He wasn't "just Goten" anymore. He was a rock star with a band that were more like extended family. He had the love of his life-long crush. And if anyone didn't like it, then he would deal with them personally.
---Later that night at CC.---
Of course with the band coming back to West City, Bulma took it as an excuse to through a party. Goten and the band walked into the backyard. Goten was immediately approached by his mother.
"SON GOTEN! I swear you are worse than your father sometimes. You are over 2 hours late."
Goten gave a innocent smile and rubbed the back of his head, "Well, we had to get cleaned up first, and some of us take longer than others."
Holly turned red with anger, "Is it my fault it takes a while to look so good?"
Goten chuckled as he walked off, "You said it not me."
Holly clutched her fist, "That's it Son, you're a dead man!"
She started to march towards him but was held back by her other two band members. Cole started to try to talk since into her, "Okay, deep cleansing breathes. You should know better than to set yourself up like that." He then started to play with her hair.
Holly slowly started to calm down, "You know if I wasn't dating you, I would break that arm."
Cole smiled, "Lucky me."
Goten had wondered the part for a while until he heard a familiar call. He turned as Marron ran up and leapt into his arms.
"I missed you."
"It was only a few hours," joke Goten. "And I was within eyesight for most of it."
"I know, but all those girls dreaming about you and screaming their heads off, I can't help but get a little jealous."
Goten placed his forehead against Marron and smiled, "Trust me. You have nothing to worry about. I wouldn't risk losing you for anything."
"You better not."
Goten spotted Bulma and excused himself. He walked over to Bulma and whispered something to her. Bulma nodded and walked up to the stage, "Well, it seems the night isn't over cause Goten has something he wanted to say."
Goten walked up to the stage and looked out at his friend and chuckled, " I can't see how Marron does this every show. I can't even talk in front of my friends." Everyone laughed and Goten smiled, "Well, I guess if I got her to announce this one it would kind of ruin the surprise huh?"
Goten took the mic out of the stand and walked up to Marron, "Mar, I love you so very much. I don't ever want to wake up without you right there by my side. Some people say that what I am about to do is their hardest decision in life, but not me. I'm just too scared of not doing this." Goten got on one knee, "Marron, will you marry me?"
Marron nodded excitedly and tackled Goten with a hug. She looked down at him smiling, "I knew that "shopping trip" in Paris had something behind it!"
Goten chuckled, "Yeah, I got Holly to keep you busy while I went and picked up the ring."
Marron lightened up, "Ring?"
Goten smiled, "Yeah, and if you would kindly get off, then I will show you."
Marron moved over and Goten sat up reaching in his pocket and brought out a violet box. He opened it to reveal the ring. It had two heart shaped ruby on the side and a diamond in he middle. Marron gasped, "It's-"
"Not even close in comparison to your beauty," finished Goten. Before he knew what was going on, he was locked in a kiss. He closed his eyes and smiled inwardly, 'Definitely worth staying for.'
THE END
A/N: Okay, seriously there are way too many people to thank here. I had so many great reviewers that would read every chapter, and then some that would just read one or two chaps. I never imagined this story would go 13 chapters. That's my longest so far, but I am working on a couple others. And don't worry my loyals, I am about to start my new DBZ fic. It will the final in my Abandonment/Anger triology. IT will be dealing with my twisted version of Goten, but will mostly deal with the next generation.
