Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ. Period.
A/N: I skimmed through my previous chapter and to my dismay I made some errors. I was so caught up in uploading them that I didn't check 'em. Well, I'm sure you guys got the point to the story because it was only a minor error. Anyways, here's your next chapter and I actually made two different scenes to this chapter. Later on, you'll understand what I mean. I'll see you at the end! ; )
~*~
Midnight Lilly - Um, your review was kind of confusing, but I think I understand what you mean. For me, personally, I hate to write the concept of them bonding. Why you ask? Well, I've read so many different ways of saiyans bonding so I'm going to leave that one for the audience's creative imagination. As for pissing 18 off, well, lets just say I have my own defenses against her, so I'm not worry. I am, after all, the author! Mwahahaha! *clears throat*
Lily - Wow, I never expected that guess. We'll see if you're right.
Burned Vamp - Hehe, you're amusing. Nice guess, but like I said before, you'll find out whether if you're right later on the story. Hm, I can see that you love smashing things, especially with a bat. Hey, if you can keep your bat away from me, by all means, smash away.
*Gasp* Ahh, you just smashed my poor Mirai Trunks! *runs up to him and hugs him* Did that mean Burned Vamp try to hurt you? Don't worry, I'm here. *glares menacing at Burned Vamp* J/K! *uses Mirai Trunks as a sheild* Hehe?
Marron4k and Secretsquirl - Thank you for even attempting to pick a name for Mr. Sluggish. I'm probably going to give up on the concept of having him in the later on chapters.
Secretsquirl - Haha, thanks for that e-mail. Albeit everything on it wasn't true, it was fun! Thanks again!

The Unexpected Savior
A familiar figure approached the refreshment stand, looked around, it then secretly poured some liquid into the punch. Then casually mixed the contents thoroughly and left as quickly and quietly as it arrived.
~*~
The two lovebirds, having declared their love to each other, regressed into the still socialized room. Both were glistening with content, with one wearing a goofy grin, while the other wore a shyly smile, but angelic all the same. Suddenly, the unruly, jet-black haired man placed his hands on his abdomen, where it erupted a slightly, loud growl.
"Again Goten?" Marron groaned, although she was smirking, inwardly. She knew he was a quarter saiya-jin, a powerful warrior, whom constantly needed refuels once in a while. She smiled, openly as her partner dug his foot on the carpet floor, hands behind his back, his ebony eyes cast on the carpet floor, looking like a little toddler who had been caught broking a china plate.
"Sorry, babe, but could we head over to the buffet table?"
"Of course, I wouldn't want to starve the guy whom I'd just confessed my love to," she said, playfully and took his arm as they made their way toward the table.
About a few feet from the delicacies, Goten left from Marron's side and hastily sprang to his second pride-in-joy, food. Within a matter of minutes, he had gobbled down tons of noodles, pastries, and whatnot. Everything within his arm reach was down his throat and inside his abdomen, until it indicated that he had enough. To finish everything off, he gulped down a whole bowlful of a red punch nearby and gave off a content sigh.
He turned around until his gaze fell upon Marron, whom hadn't recovered from her shock. She quickly composed herself when she realized she had an audience and gave off her sweet smile.
"No matter how many times I see you, saiyans eat, I can't help but be surprised. Man, you saiyans are like bottomless pits."
"You sound like Krillen," he said bluntly.
"He is, after all, my father."
They began making their way around the room, taking in the majestically, built room. Both were in awed at Giselle's place and it was clear that none of them knew her family was loaded. Her personality had concealed her family's fortune well from the outside world, not giving off the slightest implication that she was a spoiled brat, which she wasn't.
(A/N - this is where the first scene starts off.)
During their saunter, Goten's visage contorted into a deep frown, showing his sudden, excruciating pain. Horror begin to washed over Marron's visage as she stood there like a helpless child, watching her lover descend gradually, until he was connected to the ground.
"Goten, what's wrong?" Marron cried worry and pain stained her voice. She didn't receive any reply, instead, she heard his labored breath, breathing away and he had his hands clutching his abdomen.
His world was turning upside-down in a matter of seconds. The room faded in and out, swirling as if he was in a collage painting. His eyes fell upon the one person he was searching for, Marron. He could tell she was attempting to converse with him, but no words came out, only movements of the lips. Her lips, something that he feared never to have feel or tasted again. His eyes saddened as he only saw her lovely face, gradually fading out. As if on cued, everything went black.
~*~
Marron attempted on dragging him outside with Giselle's help. They were beginning to draw unwanted attention, making their objectives more difficult. They were becoming frustrated with the guests' sudden perked of curiosity. Having enough of this, a light bulb popped into Giselle's head, with the music previously came to a paused, which came to her advantage, she shouted, "Hey, there's a streaker out there," she pointed to the opposite glassed door. Like packs of wild hyenas, the crowd attention quickly averted towards the indicated window. The remaining two resumed their objectives and made their way outside.
At once, Marron acknowledged a shadowy figure standing nearby. Once the two drew opened the door, the light emitted from the inside flashed onto the silhouette figure. Instantly, she recognized him as…
"Trunks!"
The owner of the name swiveled towards the caller. "Marron?" he said, surprised evident in his voice. He drew in all the newly arrived people and a gasp escaped from his mouth when his gaze fell upon the unconscious form lying on the grass. "Goten! What happened?"
"I-I don't know. One minute he was w-walking beside me an the next h-he…" Her voice cracked, and quivered as tears begins to welled up in her turquoise eyes, making them shimmered. Trunks immediately went to comfort her, "Ssh, don't worry, I'll fly him over to mom and see if she can help." He rubbed her back repetitively and hastily, then he went over to his buddy. After he picked his frail form, he begins to levitate, "I'll be right back for you." Smiling, he glanced at her before taking flight towards his destination.
~*~
Marron wasted no time. She hastily, regressed to the room with Giselle in tow, with one purpose in mind: find the perpetuator who did this. Determination flashed in her eyes as she circumspect the room and once she caught sight of the person she was searching for, she advanced toward the one culprit she instinctively thought of.
"Alyssa, -" She began, but her eyes widened at the sight before her. She was about to confront Alyssa, but if her senses were correct, she was drunk and out cold. Alyssa's foot laid dangling on the chair's edge, while her body laid curled up on the floor, snoring away as if she were in her own bedroom.
'I-I thought…' Marron's thought was interrupted by Giselle's gentle touch. "Maybe we should first wait for Trunks outside and later, figure out who had poisoned the food and refreshments." She began pulling her away and towards the same exit previously.
~*~
Once outside, they were greeted with none other than Trunks with Goku by his side. "Hey, where were you guys? Never mind, Goku will take you guys to my place," Trunks instructed.
"Wait, what about you?"
"I have something to take care of, but I'll be right there." When he noticed Marron was about to object, he added, "Goten needs you right now, so you'd better get going." With that, he gave Goku the signal, whom asked the girls to placed their hand on either of his shoulder. With his index finger on his forehead, in an instant, a bright light was emitted and they were gone.
To be continued…

(A/N: This part is the second scene. More A/N on the bottom to explain this more clearly.)
In the middle of their saunter, they stopped by the balcony, which had a beautiful view of the city lights. Marron noticed how Goten seemed to be in a daze, but washed it off when he gestured for her to step outside the balcony. Closing the door, he joined her, with his chin on her shoulder, his arms embracing her waist.
"This is nice."
"Y-yeah." he slurred, beginning to peck on her cheek, working his way down her neck. It was then that she realized why Goten was acting so peculiar. Fear washed over her when he began working on her dress, loosening her lace while kissing roughly on her cheek and then her mouth. She'd wished her instincts were wrong, but the evidence was staring dead straight at her, or better yet, kissing her.
"G-Goten, what are you doing?" She continued, "Stop it." She mentally kicked herself for sounding so weak. Her voiced had cracked but she forced herself to stay strong. 'Note to self: remember to ask mom to teach me how to defend myself.'
"Hm, you're so beautiful, you know that?"
"Please, get off me!" She tried shoving the guy off of her, but to no avail. She was pinned against the balcony rail with a saiyan, a drunken saiyan trying to rape her. She couldn't believe why she hadn't detected this before accepting his invitation to the balcony. At first, she'd thought it was nothing when he had been walking differently, but then when he talked, with his chin on her shoulder, she smelled it, the poisonous liquid. 'Someone probably spiked the punch before he…drank…the…whole…punch…Great, I'm dead.'
"Why are you resisting me? Don't you love me?"
"Ye-ss, but not like this." At this point, she'd broken down into tears as she felt her dress ripped into shreds and thrown, probably somewhere behind him, she didn't know. She had her eyes closed tight, forcing her tears to disappear. "Someone, please help me!" She knew yelling was pointless since the music was blasted up to its pinnacle, but she had to try everything. Suddenly, she felt a frail breeze and a slight force. Goten was off of her and she had collapsed onto the ground with her head down, arms pulling her knees towards her chest, wincing from the pain he had inflicted on her. She heard several noises in the background, probably her savior, but she dared not look, for she was embarrassed by the previous event.
"What is the matter with you and what were you thinking?" a male voice reprimanded. "Is that alcohol I smell?"
She heard a final 'pow,' which she could safely assumed that one of the guys got knock down. The question was who. She felt her energy from her previous struggle relinquished from her and she braced herself for the worse. She silently cursed herself why saiya-jins had to be so potent, but it was quickly washed away when she heard footsteps gradually approaching her. Instinctively, she tensed up when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry I'm not going to hurt you."
Her curiosity perked when she heard his voice. It was so familiar. She looked up and found that her savior was none other than…
"Vegeta."
He smirked.

A/N: The story is over why are you still reading this, huh? Well, you know the drill, review!
A/N: HAHA, J/K ABOUT THE WHOLE THING! Fool you, didn't I? Hey, I have to make it look believable.
Well, anyways on with the story…
~*~
"Trunks."
He smiled, walking off toward the shadowed area. (A/N: I couldn't make him smirked at a time like this. It just wasn't proper.) No sooner had he gone, he returned with a fabric hanging on his arm, which he gave it to Marron. She recognized it as her dress. It was shredded on most parts, but it would still cover most of her body and since there were no others, it would have to do. When she saw that Trunks had turned around, she quickly put it on and cleared her throat, indicating she was decent.
"Are you all right?" he asked, sincerity. He would've embraced her, but whenever he was at arm length, he could see her tensed up. So he resorted to conversing.
"Y-yeah, thanks Trunks," she said, once she found her voice. She became subconscious when she realized what Trunks was doing. He was checking her body for injuries and sure enough he found some. She let out a sigh when he disappeared inside the house. A few minutes later, he reappeared with Giselle in tow. Giselle gasped at the sight and immediately, went over to comfort her. She, too, could feel the blonde tensed up so she let go and offered her some clothes.
"I'm going to take Goten to my place, maybe my mom can help him." Once he knew she was all right, he approached the unconscious form and began to levitate in the air. "I'll be right back for you." Smiling, he glanced at the blonde before taking flight towards his destination.
(A/N: Sorry for this constantly interruptions but it's going to be a repeat of the one above.)

Marron wasted no time. She hastily, regressed to the room with Giselle in tow, with one purpose in mind: find the perpetuator who did this.
