Note: The families are a little screwed up in this story

"I will miss you. Best wishes, Pan". Bra was in the car with her parents. They were moving to a new house, and moving away from all her friends. "I finally DO get a boquet, and It's a goodbye present." she grumbled. "Daddy got you a rose for your birthday, remember?" said Bulma. "One rose isn't a boquet, mom." Bra mumbled. Suddenly, she gasped. "Mommy! My flowers are dying!" Bulma rolled her eyes. "I told you that was gonna happen if you didn't stop smothering them. We'll put them in water when we get to the house." Vegeta was driving. Just think! we'll be at our new house soon" "There it is! That blue one!" said Bulma. Bra stuck her tongue out at it. they wound on down the road, and Vegeta realized something. "Hey, this road doesn't lead to our house!" Bra noticed little houses on the ground. "What are those little houses?" She asked. "Some people think little spirits live in there." said Bulma. Vegeta looked up at the road ahead from his map. "We'll just take a shortcut." he said, and gunned the motor. "Honey, don't take a shortcut, you always get us lost." said Bulma. "It's okay, woman, I have four-wheel drive. Vegeta said smugly.

As they wound down the path, doing over 80 mph, Bra bounced around the back seat. Bulma was gripping the dash in a vice-like grip to keep from being slammed back in her seat. "Honey, slow down, You're gonna kill us! Vegeta continued to drive like a maniac, until he saw something up ahead. "What th- " he slammed on the brakes. There was a little statue in front of the car, and behind the statue was an entrance. "What is it? said Bulma. Vegeta knocked on the wall. "Hey, these bricks are fake!" he said. He and bulma were going in. Bra hung out the car door. "Mom, Dad! get back here!" Bulma turned to Bra. "If you don't want to come, get in the car and wait. She didn't want to be alone, so she walked up to the entrance. a cold wind blew at their backs. "The wind is pulling us in...." whispered Bra.

They walked through the long hallway, the wind blowing at their backs the whole time. Bra couldn't help feeling uneasy.....

As they stepped out into the sunlight, they came to a walled-in area, filled with strange buildings. "What are all these weird buildings and stuff?" asked Bulma. "I knew it." said Vegeta. "It's an abandoned theme park" A lot of them sprung up during the early part of the century, then a few people got killed due to faulty equipment." He pointed to a long trench with large rocks in the bottom. "They were planning to put a river here." he said. "Let's go check it out." Bulma smiled. "We should have brought our lunches, we could have had a picnic. Bra still felt uneasy, though she didn't know why. As the got to the buildings, Vegeta sniffed. "Do you smell that?" He ran on down the path. Bulma was following at a walking pace. "These are all restaraunts, how strange." She caught up to Vegeta, as he pointed to a particular restaraunt. It's coming from there! he ran to it. It was piled to the brim with chicken, sushi, beef, and other meat. Vegeta callerd out, "Hey, HEY! Is anyone there?" Bulma sat down. "We can pay when they get back." she said. "Good plan!" said Vegeta, and he got a plate. "Mommy, Daddy, I don't feel right about this!" said Bra. Vegeta didn't even look up. "Don't worry, you've got daddy here. He's got credit cards and cash." "But we're gonna get in trouble!" yelled Bra. "Bra, you have to taste this, it's so tender!" said Bulma. "I don't want any!" she said, and ran off. she wa going to run back to the car, when she noticed one very lavish VERY LARGE building. "That's weird, It's a bath house." she said. As she said this, she noticed that there was smoke rising from a smokestack against the sunset. She was planning on gong in, but then she heard something. she ran to the edge of the bridge, and saw an odd train with a large skull on the front. "What......" she said. The train disappeared under the bridge, so she ran to the other side to watch it go by. as it faded out oif sight, she looked up and saw a spikey-haired boy looking at her.The boy gasped. "You don't belong here! Go! Get over the river! Quick! Before it gets dark! I'll distract them! he said. Bra ran over the bridge and back into the restaraunts. "MOM! DAD! WHERE ARE YOU?!" she screamed There were wispy humanoid forms stalking the area. Bra was utterly freaked out by now. "MOM!! DAD!!" she found them sitting at the same booth, but obviously hadn't noticed how fat and out of proportion they looked. "MOM, DAD, LET'S GO!!! she said, tugging at Vegeta's arm. he turned around.......... revealing the HIDEOUS face of a hog. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!" she watched them both, now hogs, gorging on the food. They even had the manners of hogs, as Vegeta shat himself, and the ground as he was eating. Bra Recoiled in disgust. She didn't believe these were her parents. she ran to the rivver, amid the humanoid wisps. "MOM!!! DAD!!!" She ran for the river in a panic that could only be described as phenominal, and made a startling discovery. "WATER?!?!" she ran back to the bank, and noticed the boat approaching, there were spirits getting out of their cabins. Bra knelt down and began to mumble. "I'm only dreaming....... disappear......" shje opened her eyes and made yet another shocking discovery. "I'M SEE-THRU!" she ran as fast as she could up the feild, to the side of the bath house, where there were all kinds of wierd creatures going inside. "I'M DREAMING, I'M DREAMING!!!

The boy ran up to her and held out what looked like a little pill. "Quick, eat this." Bra turned her head. "Don't worry, It won't turn you into a pig. You have to eat some food from this world, or else you'll disappear. "NO!" said Bra, then realized her hand went right through him. finally accepting she had no choice, she ate it and...... became opaque again. "See, all better." said the boy. a bird was flying by. The boy gasped and covered her up with his robes. Bra saw that the bird had blonde hair and evil eyes. "That bird is looking for you." said the boy. I will take you to get a job. Ask him for a job, no matter what he tells you.

As they neared the bridge again, The boy said to Bra, "Now hold your breath as we cross the bridge. If you breathe, they will see you. She took a deep breath and held it back as they crossed the bridge amid the spirits. she was dong fine, until a frog jumped up in front of her. "Hi, Master Goten!" she let it go out of surprise. "A human?!" it said. In a flash, Goten flew at top speed into a little door that led to the back of the bath house. Bra trembled. " didn't mean to-" "Relax. You did well." said Goten. he took her head in his hand and sent her a mental picture. "You need to go down to the boiler room, where the fires are stoked. Ask Tenshinhan for a job, and don't give up, no matter what he tells you. They heard a loud, "GOTEN!" "I've got to go." said Goten. "And remember, I'm your friend." as he ran off, Bra looked on after him before running down the steps.
