The full moon began to rise behind the high buildings of Satan City.  The stars were dancing and the soft breeze blew both the sweet scent of the Cherry-Blossoms, Sakura, and the beautiful pink-white petals all over the city. 
        Bra was enjoying herself to the fullest.  She took a deep breath, inhaling the light fragrance and smiled. 
        She was sitting on a bench, facing the wide sea with a view of the many glittering city lights.  It was all so beautiful, so romantic. She could stare at that view forever and ever. 
        Just then, an ice cream cone popped out of nowhere.  When she looked up, Goten was holding it, offering her the cone in his right hand.  Bra smiled politely and took it, her fingers accidentally brushing against his.  Just like before, it felt like an electric shock.  She felt the blood rush to her face. 
        "A-arigato…" she said softly and looked away. 
        "Hope you like vanilla?" 
        "Sure…it's fine." Bra smiled, but she still couldn't look up.  She actually liked chocolate the best, but when Goten hands her an ice cream cone, she's not about to reject it because of flavor! 
        Goten sat next to her, casually draping one arm on the bench behind her.  It wasn't exactly a hug, but close enough.  He crossed his legs at the ankles and ate his whole cone in one bite.  Bra felt a bit funny eating ice cream on a night like this…it was a little chilly and she knew she'd want hot cocoa or hot green tea when she got home.  But she wasn't home; she was here, with Goten…alone…eating ice cream.  She began licking it and enjoyed every single bite. 
        She suddenly got the feeling that someone was watching her.  She raised her eyes and saw Goten watching her watching him.  She finally had to look away because his gaze was so intense it made her so nervous she couldn't even eat the ice cream.  He stared at her for a little while longer, then finally spoke. 

"You're so pretty,…." he said. 

        Bra began blushing furiously when he said that.  She was totally speechless.  Everything silenced at the only reality for her was Goten's eyes.  He'd ever said anything like that before, and he probably wouldn't ever say it again, either!  He was just watching her, smiling his wonderful smile, and she can see from the look in his dark eyes that he really means it.  It was an absolutely perfect moment and then… 
        The ice cream melted all over her hand. 
        "Oh, ugh!" Bra dropped the cone but before she could do anything else, Goten took her hand and looked her 
straight in the eyes. "Goten-kun," she whispered. "What's wrong?" 
        Goten blinked and the spell was broken. 
        "Mo…gomen…" He let go of her hand. "I'm sorry…I shouldn't do that…" Goten felt his face turn red. 
        Bra stared at him in confusion.  Why had he let go?  She would have been happy if he held her forever and 
never let go. 
        "Um, you know, it's late, and I better get you home." He stood up and helped Bra to her feet.  The two walked off, side by side, not saying a word.  But what could they say after something like that?  Neither had expected it, so was it just…instinct? 
        The ice cream had only lasted a while, but it really had been one kind of night. 

*********************************** 
        After a ten-minute taxi ride, Goten and Bra were dropped off at the entrance of the Capsule Corp. Goten led Bra the main entrance. "I hope your dad won't get mad," he said with a chuckle. 
        "He shouldn't…it's only ten." 
        They stood there for another minute. "So…hope you had a good time, even though he only got to eat ice 
cream!" 
        Bra giggled. "Never fear…I had a great time." 
        "You sure?" 
        "Of course." 
        They stood in silence for a while. 
        "Well, I better get going." 
        "Okay…" 
        It was quiet again. 
        "Well…goodbye!" 
        "'Bye," Bra replied.  She waved and turned to open the door when Goten touched her shoulder.  She turned back to him. "Goten…?" He quickly pulled her close to him and hugged her tightly.  Bra was startled, but pleased.  She didn't care if Goten acted funny, if she got to get a hug like this from him every time…and Goten was whispering something in her ear… 
        "Arigato…" 
        "Huh?  F?for what…?" 
        "I…" He paused. "I don't know.  I just wanted to say that.  Arigato…." And he slowly bent and kissed 
her soft, white cheek. "Oyasumi, B-chan," he whispered again. 
        Bra didn't do anything as he left.  She just stared at after him, confused and speechless.  She watched as 
he rose from the ground, and, with a smile and wave, as he left, leaving her alone.  
        She looked up at the sky, watching the dancing stars…stars dancing just for her.  She thought about the day, about the night, and she thought about him. 
        And she knew she couldn't keep this feeling to herself.  It was just a crush before, but now whatever she was feeling for Goten had changed…changed into what they call "love," and for Bra it was unlike any other love she had felt for any other boy.  She felt real love for the first time, a feeling that came from deep inside her heart… 
        …The pure, honest feeling…of True Love.
