Hey everyone!! Miss me? Well, I am finally home and ready to write more. I sort of accidently left my notebook at her house, and since she lives 4 hours away she will probably end up mailing it to me, and who knows how long that will take. So i decided to write this chapter again. Enjoy! oh yeah, REVIEW!!!!!

" " Talking

' ' thinking

----------------------------------------------------

Sitting next to her window she stared out into space. She was deep in thought, and pretty confused.

'I wonder why he looked so mad at breakfast...He wouldn't have gotten the wrong idea about me staying the night with Mirai could he? No, that can't be it. He doesn't like me like that so why would he care if I'm friends with an alternate him? Well, he is my friend. Maybe he just thinks that I didn't want to come to him for help last night. I should go talk to him...'

Pan had the window opened and one leg out when she heard a knock on the door.

"Pan, honey. Would you mind helping me pack and do the laundry?" asked Videl, awaiting the door to open.

Pan sighed and went to help her mother. 'I'll talk to him later.' she thought solemly. 'I need to talk to him.'

------------------------------------------------------
< br> Bra stealthily left the house not wanting to attract any attention. The last thing she needed was her mother drilling her on where she was because some employee saw her leaving. It wasn't like she usually kept things from her mother, and snuck out of the house. But she knew that if her mom knew she was going to see Goten, even just for flying lessons that her father would find out. Vegeta finding out would have bad consequences.

Since her mother had confiscated all of her capsule cars due to her grounding, she took the liberty of "borrowing" one from Trunks. He wouldn't notice he'd be at work all day.

When she was a safe distance from the main building she pulled out the car. 'At least I picked a nice one' she thought gazing at the black convertible.

She glanced down at the other capsules in her hand. "Do I have everything? Extra clothes, food, books, cd's.yeah it looks like it."

She started to drive out of Satan city, remembering the directions she was given on the phone.

'At least I'll be able to fly! And being able to spend time with Goten is a great plus too. Eh hehe, of course I'm not doing this just to see him, I want to fly.well maybe I want to be with him more than I want to fly, but I can't let him know that. I gotta get Goten to notice me.'

Bra continued to drive out of city limits. She felt a weird familiarity with the hills and trees passing by.almost as if she had been there before. "Nah, don't think I've been this far out of the city, at least not in this direction."

She sighed and turned on the radio, silencing her thoughts for a while. ~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~`*`~
< br> Mirai had been sparring with Vegeta for 3 hours that morning. He was tired, sweaty, bloody, bruised, and satisfied with the workout. He sat down in a kitchen chair and smirked. He had actually surprised his father by proving he had improved since his last visit.

He took another sip of his water and was about to get up when someone walked through the door. Without looking towards him, the girl walked towards the cabinets and pulled out a mug, proceeding to pour a cup of coffee.

All Mirai could see was blonde hair, and a 'really nice body' in his opinion.

"What are you doing here?" he asked curiously. He concluded that she worked at Capsule Corp due to her business like clothing, and he wanted to know why she was in their kitchen. 'I thought the house was restricted for employees. Not like I mind seeing someone pretty in the morning.'

He knew he surprised her when he heard a sharp intake of breath and saw her hands fumble. When she turned around he was surprised.

'Oh great, so I was checking out Marron. This really isn't the time for my hormones to go gaga over the person related to the reason everyone I loved died.

"Oh, Hey Mirai Trunks. I didn't see you there. Bulma asked me to get her another cup of coffee she made me her lab assistant until she perfects the vaccine."

She turned back around and wiped up the bit of coffee that spilled.

"Oh" he responded indifferently, when he was really thinking 'great, she's friends with my mom, even though her mom tried to kill my mom.'

He suppressed his anger and got up to leave Marron turned around to witness him wince in pain and grasp his shoulder. "You're hurt." She said worried.

"I'm fine." He hissed through closed teeth.

"You are not fine. Let me go get you a first aid kit, or would you prefer a regeneration tank?" she asked.

"I said I'm fine." He raised his voice and began to walk out of the room.

Marron was startled by his tone. She didn't expect him to be so mad. "Geez, I was just trying to help. Remind me not to do that again." She muttered under her breath. But not soft enough to evade his Saiyan hearing.

"I don't need YOUR help," he yelled, walking through the door.

"What is your problem?" She followed him out the door and stared at him. She was just trying to be nice. She had spent the previous night convincing herself that Mirai didn't hate her, and she was just imagining the tenseness at the mall. 'Well, looks like I was wrong.'

Mirai Trunks turned and faced her. "You want to know what the problem is? YOU are the problem. Why don't you just go away? No one wants you here. Especially me!"

Marron was shocked. She had been nothing but kind to him, and he had the nerve to yell at her and treat her like some kind of foot fungus that won't disappear?

"Who the hell are you to talk to me like that? You don't even know me! Are you taking 'How to be an asshole' lessons from your father?"

"No but it's but it's obvious you've been taking bitch lessons from your mother!"

Marron opened her mouth to reply but Mirai had already left the room.

"Damn him" she cursed, holding her hands tight in fists. "I need to vent." she walked out of the room and towards the main building in Capsule Corps.

----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- ------

Bra pulled her car to a stop and recapsled it so no one could know she was there. She looked around thought fully and reveled in the beauty around her. There was still a nagging feeling that she should recognize this place. A feeling that made her think it was once held dear in her heart. But she couldn't remember ever being there before.

She looked around and saw the small dirt trail she was told to find. 'Lets see if I can remember his directions: Exit 133, small dirt trail, left at large rock, right at fork, climb down steps on cliff, walk towards lake, meet him near waterfall. Wow Goten, complicated directions but like you said, the scenery is worth it."

Bra found her way to the cliff and searched for the steps that he mentioned. She scanned the edge and smiled at the sight of wood planks, barely visible under the rocks and dirt. The area wasn't too steep, and she made her way down with ease.

Wow this place is really beautiful. It looks like a wonderful place to go camping. I bet that's why someone put these steps in.'

When she reached the bottom she took in the silence. Only opening her eyes when she thought she heard little kids laughing. 'There's no one around, I must be day dreaming.'

She immediately saw the lake, very near by and could even make out a figure moving near a waterfall.

She slipped off her jacket and sandals, leaving her in a red tank top and knee length blue jean skirt, as she walked near the side of the lake closest to the waterfall she pulled her hair up in bun.

Right when he came into view after passing a large tree she attempted to call out his name, but found that she was frozen solid. Standing in front of her was Goten with no shirt on, and practicing fighting stances.

She forced herself to look away from his glistening form and tried to slow her beating heart. 'I will not think about how the sun reflected off of him, I will ignore the fact that he his half dressed and really gorgeous and right in front of me. Damn, Why do I always feel this way around him? And why can't I ever tell him how I feel?'

"Goten" she called out smiling, pretending that she had just arrived.

Goten smirked, he had felt her Ki behind him for 5 minutes, and even sensed her eyes wandering. 'Maybe I do have a chance with her' he thought, turning around and flashing the fabulous Son smile.

"Hey Bra. Did it take long to get here?"

Bra blushed realizing that she was staring. "A little long, but you were right. The scenery here is well worth the wait." 'And seeing you is worth the long drive too.' She added in her thoughts.

She glanced around and smiled. It was so much more different out in the country than in the city. Here it was so quiet and peaceful. You could even feel the power from the Earth and could feel the fresh air cleanse you. And when it was dark you could actually see the stars because there were no traffic lights, no loud cars, and no annoying neighbors.

Yes, when she was older she would definitely live in the country. And if she learned to fly than she could easily go back and forth to the city, for shopping, friends, school, or work.

"I take it you like it here?" he asked noticing her smile

Bra smiled at Goten. "Yeah I love it here. It seems so familiar but I can't quite place it."

Bra thought that she saw disappointment flicker across Gotens face but dismissed. "Are we going to start my lesson? Or do you want to eat first?"

Goten looked up excited "You brought food?"

Bra giggled, 'Same old Goten,' "Yes I brought food. I have to repay you somehow for teaching me how to fly.

Goten smiled "You don't need to repay me. I'm happy that I'm going to get to teach you ." 'Just being around you is enough payment for me.'

"How about we start the lesson, then take a break to eat later?"

"Ok, now I'm warning you that I won't teach you the same way Pan and Vegeta and other people tried since those methods didn't work. So I want you to forget their instructions and trust me alright?"

Bra nodded her head in agreement " I trust you Goten." 'I trust you, I like you, I love you, I need you, I want you.'

"Ok, lets talk first. Do you have any questions?"

Bra looked up curiously, "Yeah, um how long do you think it will take me to learn?"

Goten shrugged, "I'm not sure. The time varies for different people. I guess about a couple days, to two weeks. It all depends on how long we stay and how quick you learn."

'I don't know what I want more, to learn quickly so I can fly and actually go places with out a car (not to mention find some way to thank Goten for teaching me and showing Trunks that I'm not a dumb ditz and can actually learn how to fly) or learn slowly and spend more time alone with him.'

"Ok, now take off your skirt?"

Bra paused, arched an eyebrow, and looked at him with disbelief. 'I didn't think he was a hentai' "Excuse me?"

Goten laughed. "You did wear wind shorts like I told you right? You don't expect to fly in a skirt. You're going to need to move around."

Bra just blushed and threw off the jean skirt showing black wind short underneath. "I didn't forget."

"Alright, now lay down on the ground spread eagle."

"GOTEN! What???" Bra blushed bright red and shook her head.

Goten laughed, "Sorry couldn't help."

She gave him a look and he stopped laughing. Although she was still blushing and he had to admit that she looked cute.

"Well, we do need to lay down, in order to meditate." He said, trying to concentrate on being a teacher, not falling for one of his friends.

Bra looked at the grass beneath her feet and sighed. Soon she and Goten were lying on their backs next to each other. She let his soft comforting voice guide her in meditations. She was using a lot of self control to ignore the fact that she was lying so close to the man she had been in love with for years, very cute, and they were very alone. 'Get a hold of yourself Bra.'
