energy balls at them. He wanted to make her fall, make her beg him to stop. Break your pride. No Guardian was allowed to beg for mercy, it was better to die, that was a principle of the Guardians.
<br />
Cal had stood firm. Her face / body was bruised, but her eyes shone and looked fearless. They made it clear that she would never give up.That was what Son Goten had admired about her back then. But he knew just as clearly that her pride wasn't as great as Vegeta's. Her pride was great, but she managed at least one defeat.
<br />
She once lost a fight to Chuck. Chuck was the strongest fighter in the parallel class. At that time she did not use her abilities, she only did that once and that was with him. Chuck sent her to the mat after a tough fight. Then Goten heard her say: "Congratulations, you were just better than me this time, but you always meet twice in life!"
<br />
And it was like that, she won the second fight very clearly. She had seen the defeat as an incentive and trained. She wanted to be better - THE BEST! Goten had to smile, yes she actually had similarities with Vegeta. But she was also so very different from him.
<br />
Suddenly he stopped, there was something down there. Was he wrong or was Cal's aura actually flaring up there?He flew lower, felt nothing for a while, Goten firmly believed to have been mistaken, but then her aura flickered again.
<br />
No doubt she was here somewhere, but then why did her aura fluctuate so? Goten went all the way down to him only trees. He ran off, straight in the direction where he could sense her aura now and then. Finally the forest came to an end, he stepped out. There she stood. The wind tugged at her and she looked out at Satan City. It cracked behind Cal.
<br />
"Get out of there Son Goten!" she hissed at him, I hadn't even turned her around.
<br />
Goten stepped completely out of the bushes.
<br />
"Are you doing well?" asked he.
<br />
"Leave me alone, you're annoying!" she said. At first glance she sounded normal, just irritated. But he could hear something, her voice vibrated slightly, which suggested that she was crying. He took a few steps towards her.
<br />
"Are you deaf? Get out of here!" she snapped at him again, but Cal made no move to do anything to stop Goten.<br />
"I know, I'm the last one you want to see now ..." he said carefully and stepped behind her. He expected her to say "You got it" or something like that. She turned around.
<br />
"No ... Goten that's not fair!" she sobbed. "That lousy coward ..." Sobbing wildly, she drummed on Goten's chest. "... he didn't help my mother. If he's my father, why doesn't he act like that? Why has he never looked after me? Why only? Why does he break everything? WHY ?! Tell me Goten ... "she screamed through tears and finally sank powerlessly into Goten's arms. She cried, barely recovering. Cal was shaking like a leaf, barely breathing. Goten put an arm around her, with the other hand he stroked her hair incessantly, spoke softly to her: "Everything will be fine, Mouse! Shh ... be quiet. It will be again!" He wasn't sure how to help her, but he could hardly bear the sight.He knew Cal seldom laughed, but seeing her cry almost broke his heart. At some point she seemed to collect herself. But she still clung to him.
<br />
"It's not fair, Goten! Why always me? Why?" she asked softly.
<br />
"Who said life was fair? I mean, we all have a hard time, some more, some less. You have to fight to achieve what you want! Where has your will gone?"
<br />
"What will ?! There is none! Not any more!"
<br />
"Damn yourself, pull yourself together! You won't let something like that throw you off course ?! After all, you're a princess now!"
<br />
"I can do without that. But somehow you're right! That's not my style!" She sniffed.
<br />
"It's better that way and now stop crying, you're worse than my mother!" he grinned and wiped the tears away with his thumb.
<br />
"So that is clear, you did NOT see me cry!" she grinned back.<br />
"Sure, but Cal ..." Goten turned serious. She herself was a little frightened when he called her that. "stop wanting to be so strong all the time, you don't have to!"
<br />
"You don't like it when women are strong, do you?" Cal joked, then got serious. "I've got used to being strong. Since I was 5! No tear, no feeling! I was never allowed to become a weak person, then I would not survive as a woman in the male world. Sometimes I am weak like just before, but myself then there is usually no one to give me strength. That's why I have to give myself strength. "She then explained to Goten quietly.
<br />
"If you want to, I can save you ....." he mumbled in a low voice.
<br />
A radiant smile appeared on Cal's face, the kind only Trunks normally managed to make it appear. Goten had never succeeded in this and he was almost as happy as a small child about it, but did not show it.
<br />
"I see something stuck from my English class ..."<br />
"You did not answer me!" he objected and repeated: "If you want, I will protect you ...! If you want ....."
<br />
Cal was silent for a moment. "I can defend myself on my own, but ... twice as good!" she was silent again.
<br />
Goten didn't know what to say either, but then he remembered something. Something he's been wanting to do all along. "Cal, I just wanted to thank you!"
<br />
“What for?” She looked at him in amazement.
<br />
"For learning with me. Without you, I would not have passed the theory test!"
<br />
"But would you have ..." said Cal.
<br />
"No, I wouldn't have. I never get it! Trunks always gets a knack for me and my stupidity!"
<br />
"You're not stupid. On the contrary, you just don't make an effort to think. That's all!" weighed Cal. "And anyway, you should actually hate me, if I hadn't helped you, you'd have flown through the exam and now you don't have to be a Guardian."<br />
“No!” It came like a shot from a pistol. He ran a hand nervously through his hair. "That was idiotic of me, I mean, I'm glad I ever went to this school. I mean, that's how I got to know you, Zen and ..... you ..." He took her head in both hands, slowly he approached her face. The pleasant smell that her body was always surrounded by met him, gently caressing his nose. Shortly before his lips touched hers, he uttered a "Thank you anyway ...". He wasn't exactly sure what made him kiss Cal, but he did. Actually he expected a resounding slap and an angry Cal at any moment, but nothing happened. She let the kiss happen. Her lips were soft and delicate, Goten noticed that she was trembling slightly. Cold or shock. He pulled away from her very slowly, still feeling her breath on his skin. Cal still had closed his eyes.<br />
<br />
Marron came towards the end of the forest, and she was immediately at her favorite place. The place from where you could see the whole city. Just as she was about to step out, she saw a person. Marron recognized him immediately, the broad shoulders, the muscular body, the black head of hair - Son Goten!
<br />
Finally, finally he was back! Her heart began to pound wildly with joy. She wanted to run to him, tell him everything. Tell him all the grief she'd been eating since Bras was kidnapped. If anyone understood, it was him. But just as she was about to call his name ...
<br />
Marron's knees threatened to fail, simply buckled away. Son Goten stood there and kissed another! And not exactly unemotional!
<br />
Now he stood there and just looked at the girl. She still had her eyes closed. Marron looked at her too. The girl there had hip-length, beautiful blue hair. Her skin was white ... well pale.She had a nicely curved mouth. Her nose was small, just a snub nose. She was significantly smaller than Son Goten, but her figure left nothing to be desired, she was well proportioned.
<br />
Marron was speechless, she knew all of Goten's friends and all of them had been outspoken beauties, but this one was ... she couldn't find any words. A big lump made itself felt in her throat, she noticed how the tears made their way. Marron jerked around and ran away like a frightened deer. Somewhere she pushed off and flew home to the Kame house. Without revealing her aura, of course.
<br />
<br />
Cal suddenly opened his eyes, saw Son Goten directly into the dark pearls of his eyes.
<br />
"And what was that, please ?!" she asked in a soft voice. Goten grinned at her: "That was my way of saying thank you ...."
<br />
Cal wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed back, then: "Thank you ... for everything!" she breathed and let go of him.<br />
These two kisses weren't wild smooching, no, they were very gentle. So gentle and brief that they were almost unreal again.
<br />
"I actually expected that you would give me a slap in the face ..."
<br />
"You can also have it if you prefer ..." Cal protested with a grin. Goten raised his arms defensively: "Don't!"
<br />
Cal grew serious. "But please don't fool yourself on it. That was ..." He interrupted her.
<br />
"Nothing special. I usually kiss dozens of girls. So you're just one of many!" Goten replied coolly, as if it wasn't anything special.
<br />
"Then that's fine, but woe to Zen and Trunks find out about it ...."
<br />
"Should I be embarrassing myself, or what ?! Don't worry, they won't find out anything!"
<br />
"Let's get back ..." were Cal's closing words. That was the end of the matter for them and Goten. Really? No, Cal wondered if he would really keep his offer .......
<br />
<br />
-------------------------------------<br />
Sodala that's it for now, the rest you can dream up for yourself until next time ...... Have fun!
<br />
<br />
Oh yes, most of it was written by Seika, except for Goten's outburst of anger, which grew on my dung! Dende may forgive me!
<br />
And I'm sorry that it took us so long, which was due to the fact that we were both taken by the school, and there
