A/N: This project is definitely going to be one of my stranger ones if that's possible. I have totally twisted up the family ties in this story so I am saying right now, if you like everyone to be the son or daughter or father or brother to whoever is really in that character then I say now…STOP READING! Now I will give a brief summary as to who is who to whom…make sense? (A/U FIC DEFINITELY A/U FIC!)
Disclaimer: This idea was taken from a movie, I won't say which one I want to know who knows their movie history! If someone guesses the movie I'll add them into the story later! So basically I don't own certain things!

Setting: On Earth in the mid 1700's, in a unknown land, where people from all over have come to start new homes, new families and new lives. (Kind of like America in early colonial age)
Chapter 1: A New Home
The sky was eerie gray as the new ship pulled into the harbor of the small town. It was filled with dozens of men, women and children who were all looking to start new lives in a new land. None of them had hardly a penny to their name and yet they were delighted to be here in this new place, which would grant them many opportunities to gain everything they were lacking. Many young men who traveled on their own had four goals on their mind, they were setting out to get themselves, a spot of land for a home, a bag of gold, a horse and a wife. The young ladies on the boat were with their families, hoping to merely live better lives then the ones they left behind. Many hoped to be courted by handsome young men and marry and have children. Things weren't so complicated, everything was very on point and it was either help yourself or go back to where you came from.
Bulma and Bra were two sisters on the ship who had lost their parents on the trip over. Luckily their Uncle had originally agreed to take their whole family in until they settled themselves. They didn't know how they would tell their uncle what had happened, but they figured that when he sees just them two approach him he'll figure it out for himself.
The two blue haired beauties wished for nothing more to then to be off the wretched leaky boat, with its rats and stale food. The young men had been eyeing them the whole journey and it made them even more fearful that one of them would try to do something to them. As the ship pulled in Bulma shook her younger sister Bra gently on the shoulder, "Bra, wake up, we're finally here."
Bra moved her head a little to the side off Bulma's shoulder, she slowly opened her eyes and glanced at Bulma lazily, "What did you say Bulma?" She said with a yawn.
"We've arrived." Bulma said getting up onto her feet. Bra followed her with a glance, and looked over the railing and saw a mass of people at the boardwalk watching the boat dock.
"I can't believe it, three months on a ship and now…now we've made it," Bra's eyes began to fill with tears, Bulma looked over her way, "If only we had gotten here two weeks sooner."
Bulma lowered her eyes from the dock to the sea, as she remembered the image of her parents bagged up bodies being tossed overboard.
"Alright everyone off!" Shouted the captain.
Bra wiped away her tears as Bulma handed her a small scarlet bag, which contained all Bra owned. The two girls went down the plank single file. Bulma immediately began searching for her uncle. As the two girls got off the plank and onto the dock they headed towards a clearing by the boardwalk.
"Look around for him, he must have heard about the arrival of the ship…he has to be here somewhere." Bulma said as she scanned the crowds. Bra did the same.
"Bulma, Bra! Over here!" A voice shouted. Bulma and Bra turned towards the familiar voice and they smiled. They saw their Uncle Benjamin Briefs, waving to them from a distance and behind him was his horse drawn carriage. The girls waved back with smiles and ran over to him, they hugged and kissed in sheer delight of seeing each other again after so long.
It was then that Uncle Benjamin's smile changed to a worried glance, "Where's your parents?"
Bulma and Bra looked at each other in worry, for they did not know what to say about their parents. Uncle Benjamin's face grew less strained and tense and a look of knowledge came upon his face. A few tears began to fill in his eyes and he looked over at the ship Bulma and Bra had been on, "They didn't make the trip did they?"
Bulma shook her head unable to look at her uncle eye to eye.
"Then I believe the two of you have a permanent home with me. That is until the day you are married and move in with your husbands." He said holding back his tears as he grabbed Bulma and Bra's two bags and put them into the carriage.
"Come you've had a rough three months I imagine. Let me bring you home were you can wash, change, eat and then sleep." He said as he helped the two girls into the carriage. He then got into the drivers side, grabbed the reigns and with a little whistle the horses led them away from the boardwalk and onto the dusty road towards the inner part of the village.
Over in another part of town a man known as Ox, was heading home when he saw Benjamin Briefs drive by in the carriage with two beautiful young ladies.
"Why hello there Benjamin!" Ox shouted.
"Hello Ox, how are you this day?" Benjamin asked stopping his carriage by the big man.
"Oh just another day as usual, I just got back from Mr. Fields house…he's going to be hosting a barn raising in a month." Ox said with a sigh.
Benjamin laughed, "This'll be the third one in eleven months," Ben then saw Ox looking at his two nieces and decided to make introductions, "Ox, I'd like you to meet my two nieces who are going to be living with me, Bulma and Bra."
"Hello ladies, pleasure to meet you." Ox said with a tip of his hat.
"Hello sir." Bulma and Bra both said at the same time.
"I have two daughters about the same age as the two of you, perhaps you can get together sometime, they are both very nice girls." Ox said with a smile.
Benjamin nodded, "Yes that is true. In fact they are so nice that every man in the village and outside of the village wants to make them their wife."
Ox huffed, "Yes, and let them try to make one of my girls their wife without my consent, I'll rip them to pieces."
Benjamin, Bulma and Bra, all smirked, "I have no doubt about that, I think I might have two girls to look after myself now. Well I best get them home and settled, good day too you Ox see you tomorrow." Benjamin said as he whistled and made his horses be on their way.
"Good day to you too Benjamin and you too ladies." He said with a wave, and he continued heading on home.
Benjamin Briefs was a successful black smith in the town and held shop right in the center of all the commotion. He was known throughout the entire town and all the woodlanders knew of him too and always went to him for everything. He had made a very nice home fore himself as well as a nice family. He had three sons who are all off and married, his wife died a year back and he felt glad to have company again. He lived on the outer edge of town where all men who had owned shops in the town lived.
He lived across the street from Ox, and he then felt rather guilty for not offering Ox a ride home before.
"Well ladies this is your new home." Benjamin said as he unloaded the two bags and walked up to the white door. It was a white house with two floors and it looked just like all the other houses around it.
Bulma looked around and saw women out on the porch sewing and mending while watching the little children play and the men coming home from closing up shop for the night.
"Life here seems peaceful." Bulma said with a smile.
"It is rather peaceful here, although there are some people who come into the town that are troublemakers." Benjamin said as he opened the door and let Bulma and Bra head inside.
"Troublemakers Uncle Ben? What kind of troublemakers?" Bra asked lifting a brow in curiosity.
"Well there be five young fellas who live up in the mountain pass about ten miles out of town. They always manage to get into fights with the local young men whenever they come here." Replied Uncle Ben with a sigh, "You two girls will share the room upstairs to the left, the one to the right is mine."
Bulma and Bra smiled, "Thank you Uncle Ben."
Uncle Ben waved a hand away as if he didn't wish for thanks, "Run along now and wash up, Mrs. Satan was kind enough to bring us food for the night. I'm afraid after that you two will have to do the cooking after tonight, I can't afford such charities from friends after a point."
Bulma smiled, "There is no problem with that Uncle Ben, I love cooking, in fact Bra and I cooked for the whole family back home."
Uncle Ben smiled, "Excellent, now go wash up and Mrs. Satan should have the food brought here by the time you girls come down."
The two girls nodded and raced upstairs with their bags.
Around the same time Ox was walking through his door, and the savory smell of roast chicken, made his mouth water, as he walked into the kitchen and saw his eldest daughter ChiChi taking out an apple pie from the oven.
"Apple Pie my favorite dessert." He said with a smile. ChiChi looked up and smiled when she saw her father there.
"Hello Father, dinner is just about done, you better go wash up real quick." ChiChi said placing the pie on the windowsill to cool off.
ChiChi had long raven black hair, which she had held back with a red headband. She had onyx eyes and rosy cheeks and she had a body that many young bachelors fantasized about, but she did have a very bad temper…so everyone knew not to mess with her.
Ox then glanced around and realized one daughter was missing, "Where's your sister?"
ChiChi took a rag and waved it over the pie so the steam would go out the window, "She's outside chopping would for the fire, she'll be in soon."
"Oh alright." Ox said as he went outside by the pump and washed his hands and face with a small bar of soap.
As he cleaned off his wet face with a washcloth he heard someone say, "Hello father how was your day at the shop today?"
He saw his youngest daughter Pan standing in front of him with a small streak of dirt across her cheek and about five logs of wood in her arms. She looked exactly like her elder sister ChiChi in every respect except she had always had some color handkerchief on her head covering the top of her head, she wore it like a huge headband even though she always had every since she was a child. She was also a most wanted girl in the town.
"My day was fine, many people were into buying flour today." Ox said as he walked with his daughter inside the house.
Bulma and Bra washed up and changed their clothes; they then headed downstairs where they could smell delicious food waiting for them. When they reached the kitchen and dining area they saw Uncle Ben seated waiting for them. "Ah finally you girls came down, come sit."
The girls sat across from Uncle Ben and they bowed their heads and said grace, then they began eating. While they were eating Bra had a question, "Uncle Ben?"
Uncle Ben looked over to Bra, "Yes Bra?"
"Those troublemakers that you spoke of, who are they? Are they bad people?" Bra said looking at Uncle Ben worriedly, Bulma looked at her sister then at Uncle Ben interested in knowing the answer.
"Well they aren't bad fellas. They just seem to have a knack for getting into fights, all five of them." He replied while taking a forkful of potatoes.
"There's five of them? They live together?" Asked Bulma.
"Yes, they are all kin. Three of them are brothers, the other two are they're cousins and brothers."
"One big happy family." Bra said with a smirk.
Uncle Ben frowned, "I wouldn't be so sure. I think they are wanting something now."
"Like what?" Bra asked.
"Like wives."
Bulma's brows went up in surprise, "Wives?"
"Yes, you see Bulma, around here women are scarce. And there are fewer eligible for marriage and as far as I can tell every woman in this town has at least five or ten men after her. It'll be the same for you two once every one knows you. I say those fellas will never find wives."
Bra frowned, "What makes you think its wives they want?"
Uncle Ben smirked, "Well if not all of them want wives I know one of them wants a wife."
Bulma cocked her head to the side, "How do you know that?"
"Cause one of them was down here yesterday. He was in Ox's shop buying supplies, at some point he told Ox that he was also coming to find a wife."
Bulma laughed, "He's a funny man, if he thinks that he can get himself a woman just like he can get himself supplies from a shop."
Uncle Ben started laughing, "I know that whoever marries you Bulma will have to be the total opposite of that young man."
Bra began to chuckle, "What are you chuckling about?" asked Bulma.
"Opposites do attract." Bra replied with a smirk.
Uncle Ben smirked, but continued eating. Bulma merely rolled her eyes before thoughts of what would become of her now flooded her mind. Now she was in a new land, in a new home, what would her life turn out like now?
