Push it Bra!

10:11pm

"Come on B-chan!" Goten yelled. He pulled back the energy in the blast abit. He didn't want to overwhelm her. He could feel her energy; it was spiking, albeit sporadically.

"Goten don't you hold back on me!" She yelled. She was struggling to hold off his energy. She could feel something inside her swelling up, longing to be released. She imagined how she'd feel if she lost her father, her mother, Trunks.. Goten.

Goten pushed more energy forward. Bra was still holding the energy back. He didn't want to hurt her, but she told him not to hold back. "Get ready B-chan... I'm going to step it up a notch! You can do this I can feel it! Remember, you can't just want to do this, you have to make yourself need to do it". He joined both his hand together and stepped up the energy of the beam. He was ready to stop the blast at any time if she couldn't handle it. He could feel her energy keep growing.

'I need to do this, I know I can do this!' She thought, more determined than ever. The feeling inside her felt like it was about ready to boil. Her hair flashed white and she knocked his blast into the air. Goten immediately pulled back and ended his energy wave. Her hair stayed white for a brief moment, and then flashed back to its traditional green tinge. She fell to her hands and knees, her head down, sweat beading across her face. She was breathing deeply. Goten ran over too her, nearly tripping over himself. He dropped down beside her.

"Are you okay??" He asked frantically.

She looked up him, seeing the massive concern in his eyes. She smiled "Don't worry Goten, I'm fine." She took a few breaths, and moved off her hands and knees to sit on the floor "I almost had it didn't I?"

Goten lost the look of concern and smiled back at her "Yeah B-Chan... you were so close, I know you'll get it next time.. but I think we should call it a day for training." He stood up and stretched out his hand to her. She took it and he helped pull her up. She was still a little shaky, and had to grab on to him for support. They looked at each other, and then looked away blushing. They heard the clanking of the gravity room door opening and moved apart from each other instinctively. And it was lucky they did because Vegeta walked into chamber.

"Bra?" Vegeta said curiously looking at her.

"Hey daddy" she said back as sweetly as she could.

Vegeta eye Goten much more suspiciously and sinisterly.

"Goten, what are you doing in here with my daughter?" he demanded.

"Nothing." Goten said trying to not sound guilty. Vegeta squinted at Goten then took a few steps towards him before Bra spoke.

"Daddy please, we were just sparring a little"

"Hmph, that better have been all". Vegeta looked at Bra more intently. "It looks like it was more than just a little sparring, you better not have hurt my daughter boy" He added pointing accusingly at Goten.

"No no dad, he didn't at all"

"Tch.. he better not have. I think it's time you should be getting home don't you Goten?" Vegeta said taking one last hard look at Goten before walking further into the chamber. 'Oh man he knows.. he knows... ' Goten thought frantically. Bra pulled his arm as she walked towards the chamber's exit and the two hurried out of the gravity room. They didn't want to spend any more time in the same room with Vegeta then they had to.

"Sorry about that Goten"

"It's okay B-Chan, I made it out alive so it's all good" Goten replied winking at her.

"Heh, barely " she retorted sticking out her tongue. She leaned against the nearby wall with her hands behind her. "So are we still on for tomorrow night?"

"Yeah of course, I promised I'd make you a super saiyan didn't I?"

"Yeah you did..." She said softly, standing upright then taking a step forward. Their faces were within inches of each other.

"B-Chan I.."

"Shh" she said placing a finger over his lips. They leaned in towards each other, but Goten turned away when he heard a noise down the hall.

"I should really go..." Goten said. After that encounter with Vegeta, any courage he'd worked up to make a move on her had been crushed.

She sighed irritably. "Yeah I guess so, don't want my dad mutilating you now do we?"

10:59 pm

Goten strode through the door to his house. It was fairly late so he was surprised to see that his mom was still awake and Gohan wasn't at home. There was a small crash as the door shut behind him, alerting Goten's presence to Gohan and ChiChi.

"Goten could you come in here for a moment?" ChiChi asked. Goten recognized that tone and let out an unhappy groan, but obeyed.

"Yes?" he asked entering chalantly into the living room.

"Would you mind explaining this??" She asked, pointing accusingly first at him then at the TV.

Goten watched and listened to the TV.

"Once again we're reporting on a bizarre incident that occurred earlier today. According to police, 11 armed men attempted to rob Imperial Commerce Bank on Tules and Rutherd. While police were outside it appears two teenagers somehow entered the bank, and managed to incapacitate all the robbers."

Goten groaned as the report flashed to some grainy video footage of him and Bra attacking the last robber. The only identifying thing of the two was Goten's hair. After the footage, the report switched to a brief interview with the woman whom Goten and Bra had saved.

"I've never seen anything like it" she began. "A boy and a girl. They moved so fast. One moment, I had a gun to my head and they were infront of me and the next, they were beside me and the robber was on the ground, without his gun."

ChiChi turned of the TV. "Goten this has been all over the news." She said sternly, starring at Goten. "Well??" She inquired.

"Well what?" Goten replied.

"Were you involved Goten?"

"Wel.. uh..." Goten began. She clearly knew it was him. She sighed.

"great Goten. How many times do I have to tell you, you can't be caught using stuff like this!"

"But mom, they were in trouble!"

"Goten, I don't think mom mean you shouldn't have done it right mom?" Gohan interrupted, his voice calm.

"Right Gohan" she said. "I'm proud you did it Goten, you just need to be more careful. You can't get caught doing stuff like that."

"So what should I do then?"

"Catch" Gohan said tossing Goten two watches. "Me and Videl haven't used these in years. Maybe you and Bra can make use of them.

Goten looked at the watches. They were the watches Gohan and Videl had used when they used to patrol the city and saiya-man and saiya-girl. Goten smiled at first, then he remembered what the outfits looked like.

"Um Gohan?"

"Yes?"

"I don't have to wear the same costume as you did do I?"

Gohan snickered. "No of course not, you can store any outfit in there." He laughed a little more as he mused on his teenage exploits. "That outfit really was kind of ridiculous wasn't it?"

"Use that from now on okay Goten?"

"Okay mom I will"
