Bra woke up to the sound of her alarm. She had been so tired after training with her father the previous day that she had fallen straight into bed and slept, even with her body clock still in another time zone.

She got up and showered the previous days exertion off of her skin and hair, having been too tired to do so the night before. Once she was clean she got out of the shower and dried herself off, a saiyan perk being that she had a higher body temperature and so dried quickly. She grabbed an outfit from her closet, threw her hair in a ponytail and applied her makeup, happy with her appearance she grabbed her bag and a jacket and went downstairs to the kitchen.

Trunks had stayed at Mai's apartment and had gone straight to work from there and her mother was already hard at work in the laboratory, leaving just her and her father in the house. Vegeta was sat at the table reading the paper and drinking coffee, it was quite jarring sometimes to witness the prince of saiyans doing something so human and normal.

"Good morning father" Bra greeted as she gathered a small feast for her breakfast.

Vegeta inclined his head in greeting and continued reading his newspaper. Once he was finished and Bra was done with breakfast he turned his interest to his daughter.

"How did you sleep?" He asked.

"I slept well. I was so drained after our training session."

Vegeta nodded "I expect to see you for training again tonight. If I'm going to train you it will be done properly."

"Ok father. I'm going to meet Marron now but I will be back later."

Vegeta merely nodded again. He was a man of few words.

Bra grabbed her things and the keys to one of the Capsule Corporation cars, calling a goodbye to her dad, and headed to go meet her best friend.

0o0o0o0o0o

She arrived at the coffee shop she was meeting Marron in and capsulated the car, placing it in her bag. She loved Capsule Corp cars as you never had to look for a parking space, saving a lot of time and effort. Walking into the coffee shop she immediately spotted the familiar blond and rushed over, unable to contain her excitement. When Marron looked up and saw her friend she let out a little squeal of excitement and threw her arms around the blue haired girl whilst jumping up and down.

"It's so good to see you Mar! You look amazing!"

Marron had finally let her go and they both sat down with huge smiles plastered on their faces.

"Me!" Marron exclaimed "What about you. I barely recognised you when you first walked in, you look ridiculously hot."

Bra laughed and thanked her friend excusing herself to place her coffee order. Once she had her drink in hand she returned to their table still beaming. She really had missed her friend. She'd had such little free time at college and with the age difference between her and everyone else she didn't really have any friends. The few she did have couldn't really relate to her, with them not knowing that her father was from another planet.

"So tell me everything I've missed then."

Marron spoke to her for the next half an hour, barely pausing for breath, filling her in on everything that had happened in her life since Bra had left all those years ago.

"And I haven't even told you the best bit" Marron exclaimed. "I'm in love! I know I've said guys have been the one before but this time it's true. We are even talking about moving in together."

"Congratulations. So who is this guy?"

"Well that's the crazy part. Do you remember Uub that Goku went to train?" Bra nodded her head, yes she did remember, it was hard to forget that there was a reincarnate of Buu walking around. She and Marron had both been born a few years before the evil alien had surfaced to destroy the Earth and all the people on it, some of the earliest memories she had were of her mother's distress when she had learned that Vegeta had sacrificed himself to save them. She would never forget anything to do with him.

"Well he moved to the area a while ago and well we started spending more and more time together and now here we are."

She smiled at her friend. It was hard to feel anything but happy for her when she looked so deliriously happy. Some jealousy managed to slip its way in though. First her brother and now Mar, it was like everyone around her was loved up and taking big steps and here she was, with the most romance in her life being the cheesy romance novels she sometimes read.

"So what about you, any special men in your life?" There it was the dreaded question that seemed to keep popping up.

"No unfortunately not, unless you count Ben and Jerry."

Marron giggled. "Come on B you are ridiculously hot and clever and rich! How is it the most meaningful relationship you have going for you is with a tub of cookie dough ice cream."

Bra sighed. If there was anybody she could talk to about her worries it was Marron. "I think I'm doomed to be alone forever."

"What? Why would you say that?" marron asked concerned. The previous light-hearted conversation was quickly turning serious.

"Because it's true, it's so difficult Mar. I don't want to sound like an ungrateful brat but most guys are too intimidated to talk to me and the ones who aren't seem to only want to use me for my family name or my body, they don't care about my mind. The only guy I've ever truly liked was James and that ended badly, partly because I could never tell him the truth about what I am without sending him running for the hills. How do you even bring that up in conversation! 'Would you like to come home with me and meet my family? Oh and by the way my fathers an alien who once tried to destroy the planet.' I'm not sure how well that would go down."

"Oh B."

"And on top of that I'm way stronger than any of the human men on earth. I want someone who makes me feel safe. It's difficult enough when I'm constantly worrying about even hugging a guy too tight and accidentally breaking his spine, let alone having a fulfilling sex life." By this point Bra had tears in her eyes after finally saying out loud what had been on her mind for a long time.

"I'm going to tell you something Mar that I've never told another living soul. When James and I first got together I had never really done anything with a guy. I really liked him though so after a while we decided to take the next step and have sex, and well everything was going ok until-" she took a deep breath, willing herself to say the next words without dying of embarrassment "we couldn't do it." Marron cocked her head to the side in confusion. Knowing that she would have to explain further Bra blushed bright red. Turning away from her friend, so she wouldn't have to see the look on her face once she realised, she rushed the next part out. "His human penis couldn't break my stupidly strong saiyan hymen. It was so awkward." She turned to look back at Marron who was looking stunned. "We broke up pretty soon after that" Bra said. "I couldn't tell him the real reason."

Marron looked upset for her "B I'm so sorry I didn't realise how difficult this was for you. I guess I kind of thought with all the saiyan guys and there human wives and girlfriends you would be fine. Have you thought about speaking to your brother or your dad? Maybe they could give you some advice even though it is different for you."

"Oh Kami no I could never. I think my father would rather blow himself up again than listen to my sex problems, and my brother wouldn't be much better. Times like these I wish Pan were older so we could share experiences as female saiyans, even if we are very different people. At least the guys have each other."

"I don't know what to say B other than I'm sorry. You're a genius though, if anyone can figure something out it's you."

"You're right Mar I'm being negative. I already feel better for having spoken about it. I've been holding all of that in for a long time. Thank you for listening, you're the best."

Marron reached over and gave her a giant hug. "Anytime. I will always be here."

"So anyways tell me more about Uub?" Bra asked, wanting to change the subject from her sex life. Well her lack of one.

Marron was quite happy to carry on talking about her relationship with Uub until it was time for them to both head home. She really was happy for her friend, she seemed so in love. And she was right about Bra being able to figure out her problem. The physical side at least shouldn't be too difficult, although not exactly the way girls dream of it going. She just wished, and not for the first time, that there were more members of the saiyan race left in their universe. There was only her and seven others, one of those being female, three of them related to her, two married and one having a serious girlfriend. Well if she got desperate enough she could try to bribe Whis to take her to the saiyan inhabited planet in universe six, there had to be at least one Earth food left that he hadn't tried yet.

The rest of the week passed quickly between shopping trips with her mother, working on the updates for the gravity room and frequent training sessions with her father. Pretty soon it was the evening before they were due to fly to Hawaii and Bra was struggling with what to pack. She had gone completely overboard while shopping with her mother and was considering just taking everything, it's not like she couldn't just put it all in a Capsule. They were only going for a week though, and as much as she wanted to take 20 bikinis it really didn't make sense to the logical part of her brain. It's not like she would even really need to make an effort. Her mother had told her that she had booked an entire private and exclusive resort for them, so as not to attract attention and to make her father feel more comfortable, not wanting a replay of the last family holiday they had taken all together several years earlier. That holiday had ended with Vegeta getting angry, causing the ground to shake and the humans to run scared thinking there was an earthquake. Unfortunately not making an effort didn't sit well with who she was as a person and so she would pack her nice new things, including the beautiful dress she had gotten for the evening of her actual birthday. In the end she still packed far too much stuff, but at least it wasn't everything.

The flight to Hawaii went by quickly with her mom piloting the newest and fastest Capsule Corp model of plane, knowing that there was no way she could get Vegeta on a commercial airline even if she herself enjoyed the luxury of flying first class. The hotel was every bit as beautiful, luxurious and private as her mother had told her it would be. Rather than rooms there were around 30 cabin type buildings, giving them all their own privacy from each other as well as from the main hotel complex. Each room had a small sitting area, a large bathroom with a waterfall shower and a bath big enough for two. The bedrooms were light and airy with plenty of closet space and a king size four poster bed. They also had a small outdoor area seating are overlooking the beautiful views of the island.

The main hotel building housed a gym, spa, the restaurant where they would have their meals and a big event room that would house entertainment, or it would if there were more guests than the four of them. There was also a large pool and access to the hotels private part of beach. Bra, her mother and Trunks had taken a few trips together but never to anywhere as amazing as this.

0o0o0o0o0o

Bulma had taken Bra to the spa with her for some girl bonding time. They'd had facials first, which has prevented them being able to talk, but she was more than making up for it now that they were having pedicures and could move their faces.

"So are you excited about your birthday tomorrow? I still can't believe my baby is going to be 21."

"I am mom, and thank you for all this. I couldn't imagine a better way to spend my birthday. This place is amazing" Bra replied.

Bulma was glad she liked it so much, although she couldn't wait to see her face at the party tomorrow night when everyone would be there. Her daughter really had no idea. It had taken a lot of work and coordination to get everything ready, but if there was one thing Bulma was amazing at organising it was a party. It was a big task trying to surprise a saiyan but she was sure she had thought of everything, and Vegeta had reassured her that her plan would work. The guests would be arriving in the late afternoon the following day, a few hours before Bra was due to arrive at the party. She had arranged for Trunks to take his sister on a hike to the other side of the island to keep her distracted and out of the way. She had even made devices for the guests to hide their ki so her daughter wouldn't be able to sense them, except for Goku who had God ki so couldn't be sensed anyway. Everything was going so well. Even Vegeta hadn't been able to pick fault with the resort, and she knew he was looking forward to Goku arriving for the opportunity to train with someone on the same level as him. Everyone had confirmed they were coming and all seemed as excited as she was. Even Whis and Beerus were putting in an appearance, Beerus was a big fan of dessert and couldn't pass up the opportunity to sample the giant chocolate and caramel birthday cake she was having made. The chefs had been working tirelessly to make enough food for all the guests, which included eight saiyans and a God of destruction. Now all she had to do was make the most important decision, what was she going to wear!

0o0o0o0o0o

Bra woke up on the morning of her birthday to the sight of her father sat at the bottom of her bed.

"Happy birthday Bra" he said when he sensed she was awake.

"Thank you dad."

"As I have mentioned before Saiyans reach their maturity at the age of 21. I don't know if reaching maturity will have any effect on you, it didn't on your brother, but know that you can talk to me about anything you may experience even if I don't have answers. I unfortunately don't know much about female saiyans as I was just a boy when that bastard Freiza blew up planet Vegeta." Vegeta's hands balled up into fists as he thought of the alien overlord who had taken his birth right from him. Freiza had been defeated three times in battle, but Bra knew the Prince of Saiyans would happily bring him back again to be able to kill him with his own hand. "One thing I do remember" he continued "is that adult saiyan women would wear a necklace with a moon stone set in it, due to our connection to the moon." At this point he took a jewellery box out of his pocket and thrust it towards her. Inside was a silver chain with a teardrop shaped moonstone set within. It was simple, elegant and absolutely beautiful. She felt herself getting emotional and tried to reign it in knowing how her father felt about emotional outbursts. It was difficult though, her father found it difficult to talk about saiyan history with all that he had lost so it meant a lot to her that he had done this. Although she managed to hold back her tears she couldn't hold herself back from giving her father a hug, which for a moment he reciprocated.

"Thank you father. It's beautiful." She said while fastening the clasp around her neck.

Vegeta nodded and left, having already spoken more words than he was normally comfortable with.

The moonstone fell against her chest and she vowed to never take it off.

After her father had left she had gotten herself ready for the day and gone to meet her family at breakfast. She was met with a rendition of 'Happy Birthday' from her mother and brother who were truly awful singers, but she appreciated the effort.

"Thanks guys."

"So how does it feel being 21?" Her mother asked.

"Well so far I feel exactly the same. I will have to get back to you on that when I've been awake for more than an hour."

"So Bra" Trunks said in between bites of his giant stack of pancakes, it really was gross watching a saiyan eat, "I thought we could go on a hike to the other side of the island to see the Volcanoes National Park, maybe stop off at some waterfalls on the way. What do you say?"

"That sounds amazing Trunks. Are you ok with that mom? We can do it another day if you wanted us to all spend the day together."

"No honey that's fine, I actually wanted to spend some time alone with your father so that works out well for everyone. We will do a nice dinner and presents tonight" her mother replied.

"Ok see you later then."

They had hiked for most of the day, stopping often to take in the scenery. If they had been human it would have been an impossible hike to make in a day but as it was they made good time to the volcano park, which was even more amazing than they had expected. They were heading back and they were making too good time. Trunks checked his watch noticing that he still had to keep Bra away for another couple of hours otherwise they could bump into the guests and ruin the surprise. Thankfully they had recently passed a large secluded clearing which gave him an idea.

"Hey Bra."

"What?" She asked, turning around to look at him.

"So I know Dad's been training you. Fancy heading back to that clearing and sparring? Maybe I can teach you some of my moves."

"You're a lot stronger than me Trunks and I don't think mom would be happy if I went back all bruised and broken, especially when she has a fancy dinner planned."

"We will take it easy. Don't worry mom won't even know."

"Ok then" she said through a smile.

They had sparred for a while and true to his word he didn't leave any marks on her. He had been shocked with just how strong his little sister was, he was stronger but she could definitely hold her own. Before she had left home she had no interest in fighting or training, preferring to shop and study, so it was a surprise to find out that not only had she been training with their father but she had also trained herself previously. He had been having so much fun that he had completely lost track of time, and now instead of running early they were running late.

"Crap. Bra we need to hurry back or we will be late to dinner and we still need to get ready. We will have to fly back."

0o0o0o0o0o

Flying back meant that they arrived with enough time to shower and get themselves ready for the evening. After all the hiking and sparing she definitely needed a shower.

After a quick shower she got to work on her hair and makeup. She wore her hair down in loose curls and left her makeup pretty natural apart from dark dramatic eyes. She had bought her dress especially for the occasion. It was red, her favourite colour, and made from satin. It had a plunging neckline and was tight around her waist with a structured skirt. It was quite short but due to the simple nature of the dress it looked elegant and showed off her figure perfectly. She paired it with simple nude stilettos, making her legs look endless, and the only jewellery she wore was the moon stone necklace she had received from her father. She had just enough time to spritz herself with her favourite perfume before Trunks was knocking at her door.

"For an annoying little sister you really do look beautiful."

"Thanks. You don't look too bad yourself big brother." He did look handsome in his black trousers and shirt, providing a nice contrast to his lavender hair.

"Where are mom and dad?" She asked, not seeing them around.

"They are already there waiting for us. We are eating in the events room tonight. Mom said she needed the extra space for your presents" he replied rolling his eyes at his mother's extravagance. "So I'm here to escort you to dinner." He offered her his arm which she took linking hers through it.

As they walked she glanced up at the moon, which was full tonight, and placed a hand on the moonstone at her chest. She didn't realise she had stopped walking and was staring until she felt a tug at her elbow.

"Are you ok Bra?" Trunks asked, unsure as to why she was staring into the sky.

She shook her head to clear it and nodded at her brother in reply, placing her arm back in his and carrying on walking. 'What was that all about? Probably just because of that story dad told me earlier' she thought to herself trying to put it out of her mind. Although if that was the case why did she still feel drawn to it. She'd had her tail removed as a baby when she was first born so had never felt the pull of the moon before, so why was she feeling it now. Well she didn't have time to dwell on it now when she had a dinner to attend.

They walked together towards the main hotel chatting until they reached the door to the event room which was closed.

"Go on then" her brother urged.

She pushed open the door and was met with a shout of "surprise!"

She looked around the room in front of her in shock. She had been expecting a dinner with just her mother, father and brother and was instead greeted with a room full of family and friends. Her grandparents were there, she hadn't seen them since she had been home as since her grandfather had retired from Capsule Corporation he and her grandmother had moved to a smaller home in a warmer climate. She spotted Marron, who gave her a wave and giant smile as their eyes met, standing with her parents and who she recognised as Uub. She waved at her uncle Tarble and his wife Gure. All the z fighters were there, she even saw Whis and Beerus which both pleased and worried her, knowing how temperamental the God of Destruction could be. All of the Son family were there stood together to the side closest to the food, even Goku who was rarely on earth.

She willed herself not to look directly at Goten, with Trunks stood at her side watching her, but it was like her body had a life of its own. She turned to look at him taking in his appearance for the first time in seven years. He was every bit as attractive as she remembered and he looked amazing all dressed up. She was studying his face when his eyes met hers and it was like an electronic charge went through her, holding her in place. She couldn't look away no matter how much she tried. 'Good job Bra' she thought 'first time seeing him in seven years and you stare at him like a weirdo'.
