Goten walked into his apartment, and threw his keys down on a nearby counter. Goten frowned.
"Where is everyone?" Goten asked himself.
He had just got back from driving around the city looking for his friends. All of his friends seemed to be out and he didnt really feel like calling Bra right now...mainly because he would have to deal with her father, Vegeta.
Goten dropped down on his leather couch and popped off his shoes. Ever since Goku left things havent been the same. Piccolo went off to train in solitude as usual, but he stopped coming over to visit Gohan at Mom's house. Vegeta had lost his interest in training, since there was no one left worthy enough of competition. Vegeta was considered the strongest on the planet. Gohan did his thing as a professor..mom was less energetic. Bulma worked on her inventions like normal and Trunks still flies away from his job as the President of Capsule Corporation. Everything seemed more peaceful and boring.
Goten opened a window and let some air in his stale apartment.
"Its...so...boring," Goten sighed.
Goten decided to call Bra after all. Being bored is worse than facing Vegeta's wrath..at least Bulma could calm him. Goten pulled out his yellow cell phone and dialed the familiar numbers. The phone rang on the other end and a familiar friendly voice said "Hello?".
It was Bra's mom..Bulma.
"Hi Bulma," Goten said happily "is Bra home?"
Bulma frowned a bit.
"Oh..Goten," Bulma said as she recognized his voice "I'm sorry but Bra is out with some friends at the mall, why dont you go there? Maybe you will see her."
Goten heard banging and feet running down the stairs. It was Vegeta. Vegeta grabbed the phone from Bulma, screamed that he didnt want Goten with his daughter and then gave the phone back to Bulma. The next sound was a loud smack and Vegeta crying in pain.
Goten rubbed his ear.
"Dont mind Vegeta..," Bulma reassured "hes really glad that you two are together, he just doesnt want you to know that"
"Ah okay," Goten said recognizing Bulmas lie "well I am going to go, talk to yah later! Bye!"
"Ok bye," Bulma replied.
Goten hung up and stuck the phone back into his pocket. He checked his hair, his clothes and put his shoes back on. Then he picked up his keys, got onto his motorcycle and drove off.
**************************************
"Mr. Briefs?" A female secretary said through a speaker.
Silence...
"Mr. Briefs?" The secretary said again.
The secretary got up from her desk and walked across the halls where people were busily working their lives away. She opened the door marked with a golden name plate:
MR. TRUNKS BRIEFS
PRESIDENT
CAPSULE CORPORATION
As the secretary opened the door she found Trunks asleep at his desk. Trunks was wearing his usual brown suit with the white undershirt and beige slacks and his tie. The secretary walked over to Trunks and gently tapped him on the shoulder.
"Mr. Briefs.. you have a meeting at 2:00" The secretary solemly said.
Trunks twitched a little and snored a little bit, but he didnt wake up. The secretary decided to shake him a bit. But still he didnt wake up so she screamed.
"MR. BRIEFS!!!!!!!!" The small little secretary screamed.
Trunks jumped up out of his sleep leaving a shiny puddle of drool on his desk.
"Wha? yes?" Trunks tried to say professionally as he shook his sleep off.
"You have a meeting at 2:00 sir," The secretary repeated. "and also, you need to fill out these forms,"
Trunks sneaked quietly towards the window as the secretary turned around for a second.
"And after your meeting at 2:00 you have to meet with the represenatives of the LCC Corpor-" The secretary was cut off in mid-sentence bye a breeze that went through the room.
The secretary looked at the open window near Trunks desk. Then she sighed as she realized that he had escaped again. She walked out of the office and closed the door, leaving the window open so he can get in when he returns...he always comes back.
Trunks flew through the sky like a bird.
"This feels so great!! I feel free!!!" Trunks said as he did flips in the air.
Trunks pulled out a little box out of his pocket and popped it open. The front said Capsule Corp. and had the logo on it. Inside were little pill-looking capsules with big numbers on the front. Trunks took number 3 and hit a button on the top of the capsule and threw it. The capsule exploded with a cloud of smoke and a pair of clothes appeared in the air. Trunks quickly grabbed the clothes and changed in mid-air. Dropping his business clothes to the ground. Then he flew off towards Goten's house.
**************************************
Goten drove along the city streets and waved to a few people and decide to stop at a shop along the way. He wanted to get something special for Bra, afterall....they were together..werent they? He parked his motorcycle in the front of the shop and walked in. A fat lady at the counter greeted him.
"Hello, how may I help you?" The fat lady grinned while checking out Goten.
Goten smiled nervously as he noticed what this lady was thinking.He walked to the counter and asked what they had. He tried to avoid looking at the lady by looking down at the jewelry.. There were necklaces, rings, earrings, watches, and other things that were very expensive. Goten mentally checked how much money he had on him..which turned out not too be too much at all. He scanned the wares for something that was nice but not too flashy. The lady stared at Goten and decided to ask him what he was looking for.
"Hello sir? May I help you? " The lady repeated with a grin.
Goten looked up but didnt look at the lady...a necklace had caught his eye.
"Umm...can I see that necklace there please?" Goten said as he slowly pointed out the necklace.
The lady walked over and opened up the glass cabinet. She pulled out a silver locket with small diamonds arranged in a circle around the edges. Goten smiled as he saw it and imagined Bra with it hung around her neck..her graceful neck..and her beautiful body.smiling back at him...Goten shook the thought. The lady held it up and handed it to him. She smiled.
"This one sir?" She asked.
Goten smiled and nodded a yes and handed the lady back the necklace/locket . He then took out his wallet and asked its price. The lady graciously gave him a discount and he barely had enough to pay for it(now he was broke..). Goten put it in its case that he got for free. He would get her something better later he thought. Goten walked out the store and waved a goodbye to the lady and pocketed the locket. He hopped on his motorcycle and drove off.
He made it to the mall a little while later. The mall was huge, its name was Orange Star Mall. Its logo was well..a huge orange star. Goten parked and walked in. People were all over the place..it was packed today.
"It would be hard to find Bra," Goten thought.
Goten used his Ki to try and feel around for Bra's ki signature. After several times he couldnt find her. She must be keeping it low. The people around him gave him strange looks because he was standing in the same spot for a while now.
"Damn..," Goten muttered under his breath "guess i gotta do this the old-fashioned way.."
Goten smiled a little as he thought of Bra's reaction to the locket and walked around. There were a whole lotta shops to choose from, and he wondered which one Bra is in. There were lots of girls in the mall too. Goten grinned. Fine looking girls. Too bad Trunks wasnt with him, they could try and pick up girls together (but of course Goten already had one). Goten looked at all the people that were around, but only the girls. Bra is a girl afterall (OF COURSE!!!) so there was no need to look at dudes..besides..it was fun! Yep..Goten really searched, he visually checked all the females..from head to toe. Even the back..just to make sure( *wink wink*) After a while, he started to get kinda hungry. But he remembered that he was broke at the moment (wheres a ATM when u need one!! ^.^) .
"Bra?" Goten whimpered "where are you?"
*********************************************
Trunks knocked at Gotens door.
"Knock Knock" Trunks said in unison with his knocks. "you there?"
No answer...
"Ah Goten? You home?" Trunks said and stood there.
Trunks stood around for a while and then decided he looked really stupid and flew off towards a fast food place...flying always made him hungry.
***************************************
Goten saw a flash of red pass through a group of people. He also thought he saw some blue-green hair with it too. Goten walked in that direction. He hoped it was Bra, all this walking was tiring. As he got closer he noticed her friends where with her..two of them. A little pretty girl and an OK looking one. Bra was the most beautiful and was between both of them. They were sitting at a bench laughing and talking. Goten walked a few feet in front of them. People pushed by him and walked in front of him, temporarily blocking his sight. Goten struggled a bit.
"Bra?" Goten said.
