A/N:

Yunie: Okay, this is a DBZ fanfic taking place AFTER the series ends and BEFORE GT starts. So, that means, at this point... Gohan and Videl are married and Pan is about 5 years old, Bra is about 7, Goku is ALIVE, and Goten and Trunks are teenagers (I'm going to place them at 18 and 19, respectively, because I'm the author and I can do whatever I want.) The basics? Goten and Trunks are living through one of their normal days, when they catch sight of something falling from the sky. It's too big to be a bird. Too small to be a plane. And then, as it draws closer, its true form is revealed--a girl!!

Chapter One: Normal

The year xxxx. Satan City fluorishes, bustling with people day and night. Among those thriving in the city are the famed Saiyans, the beings solely responsible for peace throughout the universe.

Pfft. Who am I kidding?

A few years have passed since Majin Buu's reign of terror over the citizens of Satan City. The fabled peace has falled on the land. Even Son Goku, the Saiyan to blame for most of the Earth's mishaps, has started to lead a normal life.

Well, as normal as life can be raising a half-saiyan trouble-maker.

On a normal day during a normal week and a particularly normal month, this half-saiyan trouble-maker lingers at his part-time job with his best friend (coincidentally, another half-saiyan trouble-maker), scrubbing tables and arguing, just like normal.

"Aw, come on!"

Goten frowned as he slid a wet rag over one of the many unvacated tables in the dimly lit dining room. He dragged the rag off the table and stood to his full height, casting his sullen expression toward his best friend.

"We always train. It's all we ever do."

Trunks, leaning against the booth with his arms folded across his chest, staring with incredulity at Goten.

"I can't believe you just said that."

"Well it's true." Goten pouted. "Why don't we ever do anything normal?"

"Like what?"

"Like date." Still frowning, Goten moved to the next table and proceded wiping this one down as well. As Trunks started to reset the first table, Goten glanced sideways at him. "When's the last time you've even thought about a girl?"

"Shut up."

The tinkling of silverware and soft chatter filled in the silence between the boys as they prepared the tables for the next wave of dinner guests. Goten stood and stretched, slinging the dirty rag over his shoulder. He cast another glance at Trunks and placed his hands on his hips, watching Trunks set up the last table.

"I'll make you a deal."

Trunks stood upright and raised an eyebrow at Goten, who in turn just smiled.

"I'll go train with you--again--today," Goten offered. "But."

Trunks grimaced. "But?"

Smirking, Goten held up his finger.

"One date."

"What?"

"You heard me." Goten's smirk transformed into a playful smile. "You have to go on one date. Make it a double date, I'll come along, too." His grin widened at the sight of Trunks's expression. "Okay?"

Trunks stared at Goten, his mouth hanging open slightly. After a moment or two of careful consideration, he gave Goten a determined look, and held out his hand.

"All right, fine. Deal."

Goten gawked at him. "Seriously?" Laughing, he took Trunks's hand. "All right! Deal!"

And so it began--The end of normal.
