Part 2 Summary: Marron finally comes back from around the world. Goten is happy to see her. They spend a night under the stars. Will they spend the rest of precious time together, or not?

(AN: Goten 27, Marron 24)
Present time
"Goten! Pay attention to me, and not your phone!" Chichi yelled, her face red as peppers.

"Mom, just a minute. Valise is finally alone." The now full grown man said while putting the phone back to his ear. "Yeah, sorry Valise, that was my mom, but I can talk now. This is the first time you have been alone." There was a pause.

The raven haired woman suddenly grew calm. "You know that? If you think that bimbo is more important than Marron coming home, then you're wrong."

That cut through Goten's train of thought. "Actually, Valise, I can't make it." The sound of yelling could be heard in the background. "Really, I'm sorry. My friend is finally coming home, gotta go!" With that, he hung up, eyes lighting up.

"Finally, somebody who you can actually trust." His mom stated, smiling at her son.

"Mom, she isn't that bad, trust me." He sprang up off the bed, grabbed his shoes, and took off past the smug Chichi.

"HEY! JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, SHE'S AT KAME HOUSE!" She yelled out to her sons ever fading form.

At Kame house
"You've become such a woman, Marron." Trunks laughed.

"Well, um, thanks!" The blonde replied, face coloring.

"Well, I'll be darned!" Krillen said, shading his eyes with his hand. "Goten is already here."

Master Roshi whistled. "That has to be some kind of record." But he said it in an off way. For he was enthralled with Marron's curvy body.

Goten landed on the ground, grinning. "Marron! Hey, how are you?"

"I'm fine. Just a little tired from all the traveling." She grew bubbly as she realized that her childhood friend, very good childhood friend, was here.

A growl emitted from Goten. Marron looked at him, head cocking to the side. She followed his gaze and recoiled at the sight.

Roshi was going for her boob, a thin trickle of blood running down his chin.

"Roshi!" She yelled, slapping him. He flew away, and crashed head first into the house. She turned her attention back to her friend. She missed him more than she should have. "Goten!"

He braced himself as she flung herself into his arms, bear hugging him. "Hey, Marron, nice to see you too!"

"We should go watch the stars tonight like we used to do!" She suggested, giggling.

"Nice idea." He replied, gazing at her longingly. He missed her so much, and had realized that he liked her more than a friend when she left.

Time skip to later that night.
"Remember when we used to do this when we were kids?" The bubbly blonde asked in a cute manner, twisting her hands together.

He liked how she looked. Her hair was now a mass down her back. She dropped her pigtails when she turned 10. Her lips were now full, and she had grown very well into her body.

Before she left, she was all skin and bones, but her travels around the world changed that. Tonight, she was wearing a deep red frilly blouse and dark skinny jeans. No trace of make up was to be seen. But without it, she was still breathtaking.

"Yeah. Times have changed, but now that you're here, it's like you've never left. I remember when you told me you were going to leave." Goten said quietly, letting the memory submerge him in its depths.

Flashback
"You're the first person I've told about this idea. You know how I hate being secluded in kame house. These outings with you are the only things that really get me out of there." Marron told him one night, as they were on the ground, looking at the stars.

"Yes, I do. What is it you want to tell me?" He let his gaze roam over her gangly body. She was attractive in his eyes, not matter what she looked like.

"I'm going to travel the world." She stated, meeting his large black eyes.

"What? Really?" He was shocked. How was he going to see her?

"Yes. I'm tired of being stuck here with nothing but small outings. I hope you understand." This was said softly, ending up with her running her hand up and down his arm soothingly.

"Well, I wish you the best of luck." Yep, he would definitely miss her. Her smile, her laugh, her everything.

That was when he started to like her more than a friend.
End of flashback.

Yeah, she remembered it too. She was a little sad that he hadn't gone with her. Save that she actually hadn't asked him to, but he should have volunteered. Right?

But being with him right here, right now, made her happy. He turned into a handsome man. He was tall, with long legs. His hair was cropped short, with hair poking up randomly at the bangs. His shoulders did widen up a bit. He was a looker.

A silence cascaded over them comfortably. The night was warm, and the breeze was gentle. Not to mention that the sky was clear, dark blue met with a bunch of twinkling bright stars. The moon was full, and slightly yellow.

A sudden thought struck her. "Hey, Goten?"

He met her warm blue gaze. "Yes?"

"Remember when I was four, and you were practicing the fusion technique with Trunks?"

He smiled, looking up at the sky. He hooked his arm around her slim shoulders. "Yes. Are you talking about when we got that break, and I played with you?"

She laughed. "Yes. The airplane? I was wondering if you could do that tonight." She grew quiet.

The breeze fluttered through her magnificent sun blonde hair. It looked silver in the light of the moon. He didn't say anything else, and took her by surprising her when she was lifted off the ground.

"Yes!" She squealed as she was thrown into the air. She could fly now, but this was what precious time was. All her travels couldn't and wouldn't amount to anything when it came to this. This was the good stuff.

She sailed into the air, becoming silent. She enjoyed the air as it whooshes by her. Everything was precious when she was with Goten. Every minute. Every second. All of it counted.

A set of strong, firm hands placed themselves under her arms, and held on. She was taken through the air higher and faster, all of it exhilarating. What most excited her was that she had a connection with the man holding her.

It was always there. Sure, it had been friendship when they were young. Then it became more brotherly as they were teens. Now, it was something else. Something more deep and heartfelt.

"Ready for landing?" A dark, seductive voice whispered in her ear, making her shiver.

"Yes." She breathed as they descended. Soon, their feet touched the ground, and coming to a smooth stop.

"Marron..." the demi-sayian said in a different tone, turning the soft woman around, pulling her closer to him. Eyes met another set, and couldn't break away.

"Goten, kiss me already." Was her reply.

Nothing else was said as his lips met hers. Hers were soft, full, and compliant, and his firm warm and sweet.

Yeah, this was precious time. And it would always be as they spent the rest of their life together. As it should be.
