Disclaimer: I don't own DB/Z/GT. I also do not own "A Place for My Head" by Linkin Park. It is currently appearing on their Hybrid Theory CD, check it out.

A/N: Okay just be fore-warned that this is a Goten/Marron. So, if you don't like it, then just don't read it. Anyway, this is a story I put up on FF.net a few months back. I got 13 chapters so far, but I kind of hit a major block. I hope maybe reposting it heer will help me come up with an ending.

Goten walked into the bar that he always went to on Monday Night. He would sing, and people would cheer. He had finally found something else he liked except for fighting. But it was different this week. Paris, his muse, had dumped him. He had always dwelt on his feelings of happiness for his singing. Now, there was no happiness left. He spotted Trunks sitting at a table with Marron, Bra, and Pan. Goten smirked at Pan leaning against Trunks. He knew they liked each other. He also knew that they had been dating secretly for about 6 months now. The only other three people that knew where him, Bra, and Marron. He was surprised by Marron's reaction the most. He figured she would have gone ballistic. Her and Trunks were on and off all through High School and the beginning of college, but it was different now that they had all graduated and gotten jobs.

Goten walk up to the table, "Can I borrow Trunks for one song? I need some back up."

Trunks nodded, "What song is it?"

Goten whispered the song title in his ear.

Trunks jumped back in shock, "You sure? That's not your usual style."

Goten nodded as he head back stage. Trunks gave the girls a worried look and walked off after him. They all looked at each other.

Marron was the first to speak, "What's wrong with Goten?"

Pan shook her head, "Nothing I have heard about, so he has not told Dad or Grandma."

"He hasn't told Trunks anything either," stated Bra.

Marron spotted Paris come into the bar with her arm latched to another guy. Marron motioned at her, "I think that could have something to do with it."

Bra and Pan turned around and were ready to knock Paris' block off the second they saw her. "I'm going to kill her," growled Bra.

"I'll helped," agreed Pan.

Marron crossed her arms and looked back to the stage, "Go for it."

That shocked both Bra and Pan. Marron was always the one to talk since into them. She had constantly told them how she hated violence.

Bra raised and eyebrow, "What was that?

"Kill her," answered Marron non-chalantly.

"Why do you say that?" asked Pan.

"She hurt my Goten," stated Marron before she realized what she was saying.

Pan jumped into the air, "I knew it! You owe me 50 zeni Bra."

Bra grumbled and put the money in Pan's hand.

Marron looked at the two, "What did she know?"

Pan mimicked Marron, "She hurt MY Goten." Pan was sure to put extra emphasis on the word 'my'.

The words had just hit Marron, "Crap."

Bra smirked, "So, it is true."

Pan smiled, "You like my Uncle."

Marron tried her best to avoid the question. Just the Goten walked on stage, which caused the bar to cheer. The three girls cheered the loudest. Goten stepped up to the mic, "Um, I just went through a really bad break up. For those of you wondering, it's the girl right over there." Goten pointed at an embarrassed Paris. "So," Goten continued, "I'm going to try something new. This first song is by an American band. My friend Trunks is going to sing the lead; I'm going to help out in the chorus. This is not my usual stuff so be warned."

The music hit as the girls recognized it right off the bat. It was the same song him and Trunks had done at home for fun so many times. Goten was always missing something though. Trunks started to sing

I watch how the
Moon sits in the sky in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesn't give life to the moon to assuming
The moon's going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me you do
Favors and then rapidly you just
Turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me
I'm sick of the tension sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

Goten looked straight at Paris as the chorus hit.

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

Maybe someday I'll be just like you and
Step on people like you do and run
Away the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm used to be strong
Used to be generous but you should've known that you'd
Wear out your welcome now you see
How quiet it is all alone I'm so
Sick of the tension sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest I'm so
Sick of the tension sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

You try to take the best of me
Go away

You try to take the best of me
Go away

You try to take the best of me
Go away

You try to take the best of me
Go away!

You try to take the best of me
Go away!

You try to take the best of me
Go away!

You try to take the best of me
Go away!

You try to take the best of me
Go away!

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

Stay! A! WAY!

(Stay!)

I'm so Sick of the tension sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
(A!)

Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest I'm so
(WAY!)

Sick of the tension sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
(STAY! AWAY! FROM ME!)

Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest.

The song was different that time. By the time Goten was done with the song he was on his knees almost in tears. He looked out at an amazed crowd as they erupted. He looked at the table where his friends were sitting. They were all worried. They knew that Goten was drawing off of so much pain. What surprised Goten that the most worried one was not his niece, but Marron. He looked at Paris with pure hatred as she slinked out the door with the guy she came with. Goten stood and waved at the crowd. Trunks stepped off stage. Goten smirked slightly as he raised the mic to speak, "That felt good. I think I may stick with this style." The crowd cheered even more. "That's all I have for tonight. Sorry for the short set, I'm just not feeling it tonight." Goten stepped off stage to see the owner of the bar and a man in a suit he had never herd before. Goten nodded at the owner, "Hey Bob."

Bob nodded, back, "Hey Goten. Listen, this is Mr. Cox. He works with an American record company. He wants to have a word with you."

Goten shook Mr. Cox's hand, "What can I do for you sir?"

"Big Bang Records, and it's more what we can do for you Mr. Son."

-back at the table-

Everyone watched Goten talk to the two men. "Who is that other guy with Bob and Goten?" asked Marron.

Trunks nodded, "He came into my office earlier today. He wanted to get the demo Goten cut. I think he works for a record company. He gave me his business card." Trunks pulled out the card. "Here we go Bradley Cox, Big Bang Records. New York City!"

Marron paled, "New York? As is in America, New York?"

Trunks nodded.

Bra looked at Marron, "You have to tell him now."

Trunks was confused now, "Tell him what?"

Marron stood and walked towards Goten. Pan leaned to Trunks and whispered in his ear, "She likes Goten."

Trunks frowned, "This is not good. Mr. Cox liked the music. He was planning on signing Goten tonight. It was suppose to be a surprise. He would have to move to the States."

Marron walked up to Goten as he and Mr. Cox were shaking hands. Mr. Cox smiled, "See you in a few days then Mr. Son."

Goten smiled back, "It's Goten."

Mr. Cox and Bob walked off. Marron was worried now, "What was that about?"

Goten turned to Marron and hugged her, "I got signed."

Marron tried to hold in her tears, "Would you have to move?"

Goten put Marron down and smiled. "Yes. That's one of the best parts. A chance to start completely over with no Paris."

"But-"

Goten did not give Marron a chance to say anything. He ran back on stage and grabbed the mic, "Attention. You people are looking at Goten Son. Who just got signed by Big Bang Records!"

The crowd cheered except for Trunks, Bra and Pan. Then ran over to a speechless Marron. Bra helped Marron to her feet, "Come on girl. You need to get some rest."

Goten jumped off the stage and picked up Marron, "I'll take her."

"I don't think-" started Bra.

"It's okay," answered Marron. "Beside, it's going to be a long time till he can do this again."
