::All
They Needed::
In everything
I want you to see me
In your every dream
The way I taste you, feel you, breathe you.
Need you
I want you to need me-need me
Like I need you.
"So, are you guys going to the movie with us tonight?" Trunks asked
from his portable phone. He had planned to go see a horror flick with Pan and
himself plus Goten and Bra. Ever since Pan and him had become a couple, he
always had a fear that he was excluding Goten. He tried to spend quality time
with Goten and Pan and still have time to finish his office work. It was all
getting too much for him so he decided the best way to handle it was just to
have these 'group outings' every other weekend or so. He even thought that he
could possibly set up Bra and Goten … well maybe. Then they would have each
other, which meant less work for Trunks.
"Umm…" Goten mumbled into the receiver. "Hmm, well I think my
schedule is all clear…yup…sure is." He said as he stared at a
completely blank planner his mom had gotten him awhile ago. All it was doing was
acting as a suitable paperweight and dust-collector. "What movie?"
"Night of the Living Decapitated Mutants IV" Trunks said with a hint
of excitement in his voice.
"Ah, but the other 3 sucked! What even suggested to you that the fourth
would be any better?!" Goten exclaimed.
"You just have a low appreciation for classic horror movies." Trunks
stated.
"Yea, sure. Whatever. Well … see you at … "
"7:20, the movie starts at 7:20" Trunks interrupted.
"Ok, well then see you at 7:20. Bye…" Click.
Trunks hung up the phone feeling quite proud with himself. He had organized a
whole movie and was planning to set Bra and Goten up. He he he … He laughed
silently to himself.
Just then, Bra came dancing into the house. A sure sign that she was in a good
mood.
"Hellllloooo, Trunks!" Bra sang as she pranced up the stairs.
"Why are you so happy?" Trunks questioned.
"Because I just met the MOST fab guy. He's soooo dreamy. Oh, you don't mind
if he comes to the movie with us tonight do you?"
"Ah…umm…sure, sis." Trunks mumbled.
"Ok, thanks, Trunks!" Bra finished prancing all the way up to her
room.
Ah, I'm such an idiot. I should have known she'd get another boyfriend before
the week was through. Now poor Goten has to sit there all alone while I have Pan
and Bra has … well … whoever the hell her new pick of the week is. Life's a
bitch…
Trunks shrugged and went to his office to try to finish up some paper work.
!*******************!
Goten lay on his bed. He'd been single for three months now and was getting
quite depressed. Maybe I shouldn't have dumped Paris… He thought while
reminiscing about his old girlfriend. Yea, she was just a silly country girl but
… at least it was better having her then being alone. He sighed and thought
about eligible girls. An image of Bra popped in his head. Yea, Bra's one
beautiful girl. Too bad I'm over 14 years older then her … but then again
Trunks and Pan are going out and they're of the same age difference. I wonder
… I wonder if she would ever go out with me?… Goten pondered hopefully, not
yet knowing of Bra's new boyfriend.
He sighed again, then decided to get dressed for the movie and slipped on a
plain white T-shirt and some cargo khaki's, ran his hand through his hair, and
slapped on some cologne.
He walked down the stairs and took off through the door and into the air as he
flew to the nearby movie theater.
When he arrived, Trunks and Pan were already there. Goten walked up and they
started chatting and inquiring about why Bra hadn't come with Trunks…
"Oh, well, she has another ride." Trunks said.
"Yea, and another boyfriend!' Pan added. Trunks slapped his forehead.
"I heard he was really cute, rich, nice … and considerate. She really
likes this one." Pan blabbered on, not knowing what damage she was doing to
Goten's, now even smaller, self-esteem.
"Oh, how … nice?" Goten lied. Well, my last chance down the drain.
I'm officially a loser. Why can't I find the right girl? I mean … I did help
save the world a couple times, that HAS to count for something. Don't nice,
beautiful girls like heroes? Goten rolled his eyes as he saw a couple bimbos
gawking at him. Ahhhh, not THOSE kind of girls. Nice girls…. Like…
"BRA!" Trunks yelled as Bra approached with her new guy. "Do you
realize that your 20 minutes late?!" Goten looked at him watch. Kami,
Trunks is right. It's practically 7:40…
"Where have you been?" Trunks demanded, like a big brother would.
"Oh shut-up! We just got tied up in traffic, that's all" Bra smiled at
the guy next to her.
"So, Bra, are you going to introduce us?" Pan smiled while asking.
"Oh, yea. Well, everybody, this is Kevin. Kevin this is … everybody.
" Kevin smiled.
"Pleasure to meet you all." Kevin stated.
"Oh… hey Kevin." Trunks said. "C'mon ya'll let's go. We're late
for the movie as it is." Trunks glared at Bra, Bra stuck her tongue out at
Trunks.
"Bra…" Pan ran up to her whispering. "You look really into this
guy."
"Oh, Pan, he's just so perfect!" Bra whispered back, "I'll tell
you everything later…"
Pan smiled at Bra then rolled her eyes. She says everyone is 'just so perfect'.
Oh, well. Maybe this one is different. Pan thought. She then looked at her uncle
Goten who was walking along side Trunks. His head was bowed and he looked kind
of…depressed. Pan frowned and walked up next to Trunks, trying to think of
what might be bugging her uncle.
!****************!
They got out of the movie all laughing, even Goten, about how corny and fake it
was. Trunks got mad trying to convince them about all the great points in the
movie…but was quickly shut-up.
They decided to all meet back at Capsule Corp. and hang out. Bra got into
Kevin's car and Goten hitched a ride with Pan and Trunks.
"Well, he certainly was nice." Pan said casually about Kevin.
"Yea, I'm surprised. She usually picks these punks with nose rings and
tattoos up the wazoo. He must be at least 34…that's a lot older then her.
She's only 21."
"Trunks!" Pan slapped him in the back of his head "You baka!
They're practically the same age that we are! You're almost fourteen years older
then me!" Pan corrected him.
"Heh heh…oh yea." Trunks said while rubbing the back of his head
"Well, we don't even know this guy!"
"He looks pretty nice to me…tall, dark, and handsome, too." Pan
smirked.
"Humph. Not that handsome if I do say so myself…" Stated Trunks.
Pan laughed and cuddled next to Trunks who put his free arm around her, the
other steering the car, Goten was still sulking in the back seat. Ok, I'm going
to get a date…I'm going out with the first girl who shows interest … even if
she's not all I'd expect her to be … Goten concluded. He was, although,
secretly hoping that this Kevin guy wouldn't stick around for to much longer…
!*******************!
3 MONTHS LATER…
"Can you believe Bra's been dating this Kevin guy for over 3 months? That
ludicrous. I've never seen her so committed in my life!" Trunks said over
the phone to Pan.
"Yea, unfortunately." Pan replied back.
"What do you mean?" Trunks asked bewildered.
"Ok, well I, personally, think that Goten has been having feelings for Bra.
Yea, he's been in some relationships over the past few months but they've been
non-serious flings. He's been a bit depressed lately, too. I just hope, for
Goten's sake, Bra isn't too crazy about Kevin. I have to admit, though, he does
seem good for her. They get along great…although…well…she hasn't been her
usual quirky self lately. Right?"
"Hmm…I don't know. But wow, poor Goten. To tell you the truth, I haven't
really noticed he'd been that down lately…" Trunks admitted.
"Yea, well we'll just have to see what happens … I'll see you later
tonight." Pan replied as they exchanged their good-byes and each hung up
the phone.
!*******************!
Goten lay on his bed.
I just wish I had realized this sooner. He thought sadly to himself. I never
knew I liked her that much. He reminded himself of Bra. I wish her and this
Kevin-fellow would break it off… but unfortunately, that doesn't look so good.
He sighed and rolled over, leaped out the window, and went soaring through the
clouds to go visit Trunks.
I wanna be the eyes that look deep into your soul
I wanna be the world to you, I just want it all
I wanna be your deepest kiss
The answer to your every wish
And all you ever need.
!*******************!
"Hey, Bra-honey, you want to go to a café or something. We could pick up
some coffee then head on over to your brothers place." Kevin suggested as
he hugged Bra from behind.
"Umm…sure." Bra said as she smiled slightly.
"All right, but then later tonight I'm taking you out to a fancy restaurant
so we can have some 'us' time." Kevin smiled. Bra raised an eyebrow.
"Okkk…" Bra replied and she grabbed her purse and they headed for
the door.
!*******************!
Everyone was gathered at Trunks' place later that day just goofing off. Well,
everyone except Kevin. Goten saw Bra sitting at the kitchen table alone and
dared to go up and ask her where you-know-who was.
"Hey, Bra…" Goten sat next to her and she looked up at him and
smiled.
"Oh, hey Goten." Bra looked away.
"So, why didn't Kevin join us today…" Goten waited for the reply.
"Oh, um, he had to go somewhere for business. He should be back later
tonight…" Bra said uncertainly.
"Ah…" Goten ran out of things to say, got up and left sadly. Bra
seemed to stare at him dreamily as he walked away regrettably.
!*******************!
A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER…
Bra remained in her same spot, perched at the kitchen table, desperately looking
out the window for Kevin. Just then, she spotted his car, leapt from her waiting
place, and rushed to the door.
Everyone could hear the screams as Bra yelled at Kevin from outside. Goten
couldn't help but smirk…just a little.
"Thanks for breaking yet AGAIN another promise!" They could hear her
yell. "Why must you always leave me places? Is your work more important
then me…" Bra cried as tears began to well up in her light-blue eyes.
Before she could utter another word, Kevin placed a finger to her mouth to hush
her up. He then pulled a small black velvet box from his pocket.
"This is why I was late…I had to go pick this up for you. It took quite
awhile because…" Kevin started. Bra's eyes widened as she realized what
it was and jumped into Kevin's arms before he could finish his sentence. Goten
was watching from the window, his eyes widened, too. His heart sank as he
realized just then he was going to loose the only girl he had ever loved. He bit
his lip regrettably as he faded into an even deeper loss of hope and despair.
Before he knew it, he could hear Bra scream "Yes, of course!" He saw
her leap into his arms and kiss him…with that Goten walked away. Pan and
Trunks watched him and felt horrible, realizing what had just happened. Then, on
the other hand, they were, at the same time, happy for Bra.
"Guess what!" Bra came through the door holding out her hand (showing
the ring she had just received) with Kevin by her side beaming. "I'm
getting married!"
!*******************!
A week had passed. Bulma was drunk with excitement. Her baby girl was getting
married! Vegeta, on the other hand, was very interrogative and scrupulous. If he
lays a hand on her, I'll knock that son-of-a-bitch into next week… He thought
angrily to himself as he kept a close eye on the groom-to-be.
Trunks and Pan were happy for the new couple, too, but made sure not to make a
big deal out of it in front of Goten.
Everyone had gathered at Capsule Corp. (even an unhappy Goten) again for an
engagement party arranged by Bulma, of course. As the party came to an end,
Kevin tapped his spoon on a champagne glass to get everyone's attention for the
announcement he was about to make.
"Hello, everyone. I would just like to thank my mother-in-law and, of
course, father-in-law-to-be for arranging this spectacular party!" He
winked at Vegeta. Vegeta clenched the steak knife he was holding firmly in his
hand. Think they'll notice if I kill the bastard? He thought to himself while
glaring at Kevin. Kevin noticed this and quickly continued his speech…
"Ahem…anyway…I would just like to announce that Bra and I are moving to
New York (in the states) for a few months, ten actually. Part of the
job…" Before he could continue Bra pulled on his pant leg…
"We're what?! What about the wedding?" She gasped. Moving? I-I don't
want to move… She thought in a state of shock and panic. "How come you've
never discussed this with me!?" She shouted, panic turning into anger.
"Honey, please, it was supposed to be a surprise!" Everyone at the
table remained silent as the two bickered back and forth.
"Excuse us!" Bra bellowed as she dragged him into another room and
slammed the door. The whole group, excluding Vegeta, of course, rushed to the
door. Trunks pressed his ear against it and listened…
Their fight went on for another twenty minutes until they emerged, happy
again…well, sort of.
"Bra consented, we're going to the states and having the wedding there. Oh,
but don't worry. We're going to fly you all down there for it in a couple of
months." Kevin announced while Bra forced a slight smile.
Bulma was a little downhearted that her daughter was getting married and moving
away to another country. Vegeta look pissed off. Why do I have to fly to the
damn other side of the globe just to see my own daughter get married? He thought
angrily…
Although Bulma and Vegeta were quite disappointed and angry (Vegeta more then
Bulma…), no one was more heart broken then a certain demi Saiya-jin…
Goten frowned. Everyone else smiled nervously. Bra was leaving them…
The party soon ended. All went home, most happy…but one lost in despair with
the clear realization that all hope for a happy future was at a loss…
!*******************!
No, no, no. This wasn't the way it was supposed to happen…everything is so
wrong. I loved her so much. Goten thought desperately while holding his head in
his hands as he sat on the edge of his bed. I have to see her, I have to tell
her how I feel. How she's the only one for me, how I can't live without her. I
just have to…convince her…convince her to love me back. Goten despairingly
flew out the window in rush to get to Capsule Corp. Bra was leaving tomorrow for
her flight, it was now or never for Goten…
!*******************!
Bra sat in her room. A half-full suitcase lay opened across her bed. She sighed
and walked slowly over to her dresser, pulled out a brush, and began combing her
very long, very blue hair.
Is this what I really want? Bra thought solemnly to herself. He's everything I'd
want in a man: handsome, rich…handsome and rich. Bra tried to extend her
list…but she couldn't really think of any other good points. Well, anyway,
even if I have to move to the states…away from everyone I love…at least…at
least… Bra stopped. WELL AT LEAST I'M GETTING GODDAMN MARRIED! She thought
angrily to herself as she brushed her hair more vigorously. I've been waiting
forever for the perfect guy to ask me to be his wife…and I may be quite young
but I do think I love him…right? If only Goten… Bra stopped. What am I
thinking? I love Kevin…I love him so much…right? I- She was stopped from her
useless pondering when a slight tap at her window snapped her out of her trance.
It was Goten.
"Goten?" Bra whispered.
"Bra…Bra! Lemme in!" Goten said in a high whisper.
Bra opened the window and blankly stared at Goten.
"Bra I have to talk to you." Goten began uncertainly.
"About what…" Bra really wasn't in the mood for Goten right
now…she was very confused at the moment and trying to sort out her thoughts
and he had just interrupted her. "…Really, Goten, I have to finish
packing…" She turned trying not to look him directly in his eyes.
"Ok, then. Let me cut straight to the point. You can't leave Bra. You can't
go to America with Kevin. You can't leave your friends, mother, father,
brother…you can't leave them. And most importantly, you can't leave me. If you
left me…If you left me…I'd die." Goten said in one big desperate rush.
"Goten-" Bra was, for the first time in her life, at a loss for words.
"I have to…" Bra murmured. "I have to go. I have to go if I
want to get married. I want to marry Kevin…and I guess that comes with its
consequences…so I have to go to America. You don't understand…It'll only be
for a short while…I promise…" Bra began.
"No, Bra! You don't understand." Snapped back Goten. "I'm saying
I don't want you to marry Kevin…you can't marry Kevin, Bra. You just
can't." Goten was beyond the point of desperate. He was practically on his
knees begging her not to go.
"And just why not? Why is this some big concern of yours all of a sudden?
Suddenly you have such a big interest in my social life…why is that Goten? Why
do I matter to you now? Why? Can you answer that?" Bra screamed.
"Yes…" Goten said calmly.
"Ok, Mr. High-and-Mighty, tell me. Why shouldn't I leave? Why shouldn't I
marry Kevin? And most importantly…why should I even waste my time listening to
you?"
"Because," Goten said simply, "-because I love you. Because I
love you and have always loved you."
Bra was in a state of shock, again.
"So, is that answer good enough for you?" Goten said sternly yet
silently.
"Get out…" Bra whispered. "You…you have no right."
"I have no right to love you?" Goten snapped back, at the brink of
tears.
"Yes. I mean…no…I mean…you…you shouldn't have waited so long to
tell me and now it's too late. You shouldn't have come. Leave me alone…just
go." Bra said, tears welling up in her crystal blue eyes.
"Please, Bra, don't cry…" Goten said and reached to wipe away a
tear.
"Please…" Bra sobbed, more confused then ever. Do I love him? Yes, I
love him more then words can possibly describe. But…but I love Kevin…I'm
marrying Kevin. Tomorrow Kevin and I are leaving…that's it. The end…Owari.
"Just…leave…" She looked away. He's too late. She thought to
herself. If he really loved me, he would have told me sooner…his emotions are
false. Yet, a voice inside her told her to run after Goten as he flew out the
window that night…but she never did…and so he left…
'Coz I need you more than you could know
And I need you to never let me go
And I need to be deep inside your heart
I just want to be everywhere you are.
!*******************!
Bra sat weeping on her bed. She had pushed the suitcase off so that its contents
had spilled in a messy pile onto the floor. Vegeta was walking by her room at
that moment and heard her sobbing. He rolled his eyes and pushed open the door.
"What the hell are you wailing about?" He said.
Bra looked up at her dad and continued sobbing. Vegeta rolled his eyes again and
walked over to where Bra was.
"So? Come on…what's the matter with you?" Vegeta bellowed. This
didn't exactly make Bra feel any better, but considering that this was Vegeta,
she was glad he was even concerned. He had always had a soft spot for
Bra…after all she was his little girl.
Bra grabbed onto Vegeta and started crying on his shoulder. His first instinct
was to push her off abruptly…but he reconsidered and, seeing no one was
around, put his arm around her and told her it would be ok.
He added that, if anyone had hurt her, he'd gladly go beat the crap out of them
for her if she'd like him to. This made her smile, just a little, and she told
him the story.
Vegeta not being very good with relationship issues and such didn't really have
any helpful advice.
"Kakorotto's brat likes you?" He exclaimed.
"Yes, daddy…but I'm getting married. I'm leaving for America…and I know
I love Kevin. So, this can't be right."
"Do whatever the hell you want, it's your life. Don't screw it up."
Was all Vegeta said as he got up and left, he looked back once as if to say
something more, but then left. Bra sighed and reluctantly decided to reserve
packing for the morning…she had to get some sleep. And maybe the answer she
was looking for would come to her in her dreams.
!*******************!
Bra woke up startled. She looked at the clock: 11:34 A.M. I overslept! I'll be
late for my flight! She threw herself out of bed and scurried around the room
gathering items she needed to pack. By 1:45 that afternoon, she had all the
necessities she needed for the flight and the 10 months she would be spending in
the states. It wasn't much because she planned on buying a new wardrobe on
arrival. Unfortunately, her flight was due to leave at 2:30. She had 15 minutes
to get ready and leave for the airport. She was meeting Kevin there, but only if
she made it in time.
Bra barely managed to make it out of the house in time. She had dragged her
mother along with her. She said goodbye to her father, and promised she would
call him very soon. She didn't bother dragging him along to the airport with her
mother and Trunks. She didn't like to aggravate her father. He
"hmphed", pretending not to care...pretending he really didn't want to
see her off or paying the fact that she was leaving any attention. But he did
care. She hugged him and gave him a peck on the cheek. He said good-bye and good
luck…which was 'I love you, keep safe' in Vegeta terms.
Her brother was in the car outside urging them to hurry-up. Bulma and her mom
hopped in the air car. As they sped off for the airport, Bra waved to Vegeta,
who lifted up a hand in recognition. He sighed as he saw his baby girl leaving
him…Life's a bitch…He thought as he headed for the gravity room to train a
little and think…
!*******************!
Goten sat at the kitchen table of the Son household. He scratched his head and
sighed pitifully. Just then, Gohan walked through the door.
"Hey, little brother. Just stopped by to pick up my brief case. I left it
here yesterday…" said Gohan cheerily as he scouted the room for the
misplaced brief case. Just then, he looked at Goten. He was down, his usual
dumbfounded happiness drained from his face. He looked half-dead.
"What's wrong, Goten?" Gohan asked, a concerned look crossing his
face. He pulled out a chair and sat down next to Goten.
"Oh nothing much. I finally realize who it is I can't live without, the one
girl that I really love, and now she's off to the US with her fiancee to get
married. Just peachy ain't it?" Goten said with a tint of anger
over-lapping the depression in his voice.
"Well…" Gohan thought, trying to come up with some type of answer
that would relieve Goten of some heartache. "I'm sure you'll get over her.
You were probably too good for her anyway." He said patting his brothers'
back.
"It was Bra, Gohan." Goten replied. "It was Bra…"
Gohan's jaw hit the floor. He sweat-dropped and rubbed the back of his head.
"I had no idea…I'm so sorry." He thought for another minute.
"You're just going to let her...go?"
"I tried talking to her, it's no use." Goten said.
"Well, wouldn't you rather try to go after her and get rejected then not go
after her knowing you could have had her?" Gohan asked.
"I-I can't…she doesn't love me." Goten replied.
"Are you sure…?" Gohan answered back.
Goten sat still for what seemed like an eternity until suddenly he sprang from
the kitchen table.
"I'm going after her…" He announced and zoomed out the door, on his
way to find Bra.
Gohan sighed. "I still don't know where my brief case is…" He
whimpered.
!*******************!
Goten flew through the air on his way to Capsule Corp. hoping Bra hadn't left
for her flight yet. He whizzed through the air the fastest he could go.
As he neared Capsule Corp., he got an eerie feeling in the pit of his stomach.
He couldn't feel her ki, and feared she had already left. He landed softly on a
patch of grass on the
front lawn of the huge house. He proceeded towards the front door, but was
stopped by a familiar voice.
"She isn't here, you know." A strong voice mentioned. "Your too
late."
Goten turned around to see Vegeta standing behind him.
"She's gone…" Goten half-asked, knowing to more then obvious answer.
"No, she really is here…I was bluffing." Vegeta replied
sarcastically and frowned. "Of course she's gone, brat. She's not going to
wait around for a pathetic fool like you to come around."
Goten was angry enough to think about punching Vegeta just then, but the thought
quickly was banished from his mind as a mental picture of the consequences for
doing that appeared. It wasn't pretty. He frowned back at Vegeta.
"I'm not letting her go. She's at the airport?" He questioned.
"Yea, but don't count on false hope. She's probably gone." Vegeta
replied.
"I understand, but I have to try."
"Whatever, just get the hell out of my way, kid. I have better things to
do." Vegeta pushed him aside and entered his home, slamming the door behind
him. Goten looked back at him once, then quickly took of for the airport.
!*******************!
"Come on, Bra! The flight's leaving!" Shouted Kevin as he tugged at
Bra's wrist.
"Let go! I just need to say good-bye!" He reluctantly let go of her,
as she ran to her mother for a hug.
"Take care, Bra. We'll all miss you." Bulma wiped away a tear as her
daughter hugged her.
"I'll be back soon, I promise."
"See ya, Sis. Try not to cause too much trouble." Trunks winked at
her.
Bra smiled, then tackled her brother, knocking the wind out of him.
"I love you, Trunks!" Bra squeezed him tight and gave him a peck on
the cheek. "Life won't be the same without your constant annoyance every
day!" Trunks smiled, his Vegeta-like ego wouldn't allow him to cry. Yet,
deep inside, he felt it was wrong to see his sister go and wanted to stop her
from going with this outsider.
Bra was at the brink of tears, as Kevin's constant nagging pulled her out of the
arms of her loved ones. He pulled her away from them and finally got her to
board the plane.
Trunks frowned and silently cursed Kevin for taking away his little sister. Did
she really even love him? He thought quietly to himself. His gut feeling told
him no. She had fallen in love with his charm…his money…his affectionate
gifts. She had yet to discover the person behind this mask. He had a feeling she
might end miserable and could only hope that he was wrong.
!*******************!
Goten landed outside the airport. He rushed in, bumping into numerous bystanders
and knocking them down muttering "Oops's" and "Gomen's" as
he plowed them down.
He entered the airport, and proceeded to the information counter to ask which
flight was leaving for New York.
He was out of breath and quickly spit out his question to the clerk behind the
counter.
"Where can I find the boarding gate for the flight to New York?!"
Goten shouted.
"Well…let me see." The clerk put on her glasses and looked at a
computer sitting on the counter. "Well…it seems that if you, sir, are
going to be boarding that flight that it has already boarded and is about to
take off so if you don't get there in the next five minutes you'll have to
schedule another flight because you'll have missed this one and-"
"For Kami's sake! Just tell me, dammit!!!" Goten shouted in her face.
"Well, I never! If your going to be rude about it…"
"Please, lady. It's very important. What's the friggin' gate number!?"
He bellowed.
"C-17, but I think I deserve an apology young man-" She wasn't able to
finish her sentence as Goten had already left in search of gate C-17.
!*******************!
Bra sat in her designated seat. She stared out the window of the plane and
watched all the scurrying workers below preparing it for takeoff. She frowned.
She turned her head and watched as Kevin shoved peanuts down his throat and
nosily munched away at them.
"I hope you choke." She hissed under her breath. She quickly covered
her mouth. I can't believe I said such a thing! Good thing he didn't hear me.
She giggled a little, but then frowned again.
"Kevin…" She said barely above a whisper.
"Yes?" Kevin smiled at her, peanut chunks caught amongst his teeth.
"I don't want to go to New York." She said silently.
"Excuse me? What was that?" He repied.
"I…I said I don't want to go to stupid New York!" She shouted.
"Bra, honey-"
"No, don't "Bra, honey" me! I'm not going to your fucking New
York and I'm not leaving my family and I'm not leaving my home and I'm NOT
moving because I don't want to!"
"If you don't move to New York then I'm afraid this marriage will never
work out. My job is my number one priority and I'm afraid-" He began.
"Your JOB!? Your job is your number one priority, huh? Well, excuse me.
That's all I needed to hear. This relationship is over. It's been over. Ever
since the minute you expected me to change my life and put a damper on my
happiness and what I wanted to do. All you care about is your job and
yourself…"
"Your making a scene." Kevin said calmly.
"Making a scene? Oh, I'm so sorry." She turned to the rows of people
behind her. "Excuse me ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to ruin your peace
and quiet but, as you see, I'm engaged to an ass hole! Apparently, his JOB is
his number one priority, Isn't that swell? Well, I won't be taking up any more
of time, I'm getting the hell outta here." She turned around, took off her
engagement ring and threw it at Kevin, then stormed out of the plane. There was
a minute of silence, followed by hoards of laughter and clapping. Kevin turned
bright red and sunk into his chair.

Goten has finally found C-17. With a sigh of temporary relief, he ran to
section…only to see the plane had left. He felt his stomach hurl, he couldn't
believe this had happened. He stared blankly for a moment until the whole thing
began to truly sink in. Tears welled up in his eyes as he sniffed them away.
It's my own fault, grown men don't cry. He thought silently as he slunk down
into a nearby chair. He covered his eyes with one hand and let out a long, sad
sigh. He sat there in uncontrollable self-pity and sadness until he heard a
beautiful voice laughing.
"Goten, silly. You're a little late, the plane's already left!" She
giggled.
He opened his eyes suddenly with astonishment and looked up.
"Bra?!" He smiled.
"No, it's the Easter Bunny…of course it's me goofball!"
"But, why aren't you on the plane?" He rose from his seat. "What
about Kevin?" He asked quizzically.
"Geez, a girl decides she doesn't want to marry a guy and gets bombarded
with questions. What, would you like me to go to New York now?" She
smirked.
"No! I just-" He blushed.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Are you gonna kiss me or what?" She
smiled devilishly.
Goten looked confused for a second, then smiled his usually goofy grin. He
walked over to Bra and she put her arms around his neck.
"You sure this is what you want?" Goten asked.
"Hey, I gave up a diamond ring and an all-expense paid trip to the states
for you. Don't make me change my mind!" She laughed.
And without another word, they kissed and were finally happy because this was
what they really needed. They needed each other.
I wanna be the face you see when you
Close your eyes
I wanna be the touch you need every single night
I wanna be your fantasy
And be your reality
And everything between…
