Authors Notes: Ok, well I'm writing this right after school and I haven't been very busy lately, but it's not as long as I did want it to be though. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the chapter and Review Review Review Review, Am I getting the point across yet? Review…

Ok, everyone, here's how everything is...


They have flown off the island and been home for 2 days. Their families insisted on spending time with them so since they came home their only connection has been through phone cords.


Upon returning home they all did their bests in order to pretend nothing was bothering them. Fortunately they hadn't had to face the ones who they hated and try out their act in pretending nothing had happened on the island.


Bra spent most of her time hanging around the house and talking to her mom about how fun the vacation was, of course leaving out any reference to couple get togethers or break ups.


Trunks spent most of his time thinking, and occasionally sparring with his father who eventually refused to do so until Trunks cleared whatever was on his mind and stopped daydreaming in between hits.


Goten spent his time with his brother talking and also eating. He occasionally sparred but eventually went out to do something with Trunks and Uubu.


Pan and Marron both got a hold of Bra and drug her out of the house where she seemed to be wallowing. They carefully planned daily events in order to ensure that they wouldn't run in to certain men.


Uubu was the one who finally tore Goten and Trunks from their problems and got them back into reality. Despite what they all thought the parents knew that something was wrong, but thankfully weren't exactly sure what.


The Christmas party at Capsule Corps. was officially the day after tomorrow. That morning Bra immediately jumped out of bed and called Pan and Marron. After making plans and running down stairs to eat, she was out the door and meeting her two friends outside the mall.


"I don't see the point in this! Why can't I just wear jeans and a t-shirt?" asked Pan who obviously was persuaded to come and seriously dreading the day's experiences inside the mall.


"Because...We have to look good for the party! And in order to do that we have to go shopping!" said Marron who pulled Pans left arm and started to pull her towards the door.


"But why? We don't have anyone to look good for! There's no point." complained Pan who was currently being pulled through the door way by her two friends which eagerly took her to the closest store which sold dresses.


"Well, that's true. But come on, we can always make certain people jealous! Right? I don't know about you too, but if Uubu apologizes I might consider taking him back. I think that both of us over reacted a bit and he keeps calling and pleading to talk to me through my answering machine." Marron soon squealed as she took notice of a dress and quickly pointed it out to Bra.


"Well, I know what that's like. Trunks hasn't stopped calling me either. I guess I didn't give him a chance to explain everything but I wouldn't mind making him regret what he did a little more..." Pan let her voice trail off as Bra pulled the dress Marron pointed too away from another lady and brought it to Pan.


"This one's perfect for you" she said.


They all picked out dresses and head towards the dressing room. Of course they would never let their conversation stop right there.


"So my brother's been calling and apologizing to you? You didn't talk to him did you? Cause he's been seeming extra depressed lately."


"Well, I didn't talk to him...I wanted to...sort of...But I just don't know if I can talk to him right now. I think I'll try and talk to him at the party."


"Hey Bra, how are things with Goten? Have you talked to him since we've been back?" asked Marron who was currently straitening the front of her dress and fluffing her hair while looking at her reflection in the mirror.


"NO! And I don't intend to yet. I'm not sure if I will talk to him yet, but I might be able to stomach a 'Hello' but I doubt I can stand much more."


"Oh come on Bra. It's not that bad is it? Did he apologize?" asked Pan who immediately regretted the question when she heard her friend choke back a sob.


Obviously he hadn't apologized. Although Bra was still mad at him she felt as if she couldn't stand anything unless she at least knew he regretted what had happened. Pan was sworn to secrecy and as much as she wanted to, she couldn't tell her friend about her conversation with Goten.


After a couple of minutes of critiquing, primping, and spinning the three girls finally decided on their dresses and paid for them. Pan reluctantly handed over her credit card to charge the dress. 'I don't even want a stupid dress. Why do I have to pay for it?'


They completed their shopping trip by visiting the mall food court and ordering several different dishes from the 10 different fast food places. The remainder of their conversations steered clear of certain subject that would cause more pain then good.

Eventually they left the mall and each returned to their respective homes.


It was 5:00 when Bra called her two friends and requested a traditional 'sleep over.' In which they would finalize their plans and outfits for the party. They each agreed and were over there for dinner by 6:30.


The sunset over Capsule Corp and the family inside had just sat down to prepare for eating dinner. That is if it could be called 'eating' considering the food seemed to just vanish into awaiting mouths that didn't even seem to chew. It was a normal night. The two 'children' had friends over staying the night. Bra had invited Pan and Marron while Trunks invited Goten and Uubu. Yes, it was indeed just a normal average family with normal average guests, perhaps that isn't the way most would view it.


But we know better now don't we? The dinner was quiet and certain people ignored others. The girls secretly cursed Trunks for inviting the guys with out even letting them know. They thought that all the guys were staying at Uubs, but apparently Trunks overheard Bra ask Marron and quickly changed his plans.


"Ok here's the food" spoke Bulma, placing it on the table and sitting it down, '1,2,3' she said in her mind and on the count of three all the food was gone, Vegeta was on his way outside to train, and Bra, Marron and Pan were halfway up stairs talking about what they bought shopping earlier. Trunks, Uub, and Goten stood up and ran upstairs.


"Let me see" said Bulma, "Bra and Marron are probably doing make up and Pan is probably on the phone, and my bet is Trunks, Uub and Goten have already snuck halfway out the window to spar when I told Trunks that he had chores to do today" By the time she finished speaking she hear a thump on the room and glanced out the window just in time to see three very childish adults flying off away from the house.


It was about 10:30 when Bulma and Vegeta headed off to 'sleep'. And approximately 10 seconds after they closed the door the boys came back and found their way to the living room where the girls were watching a movie. Quietly they sat down on the opposite side of the room and prepared for a very 'interesting' sleep over.


The three girls on the couch stiffened when they noticed that the people they really did not want to see right now entered the room. This...is going to be interesting.


Authors Notes: OK, so in the next chapter it will basically be about what happened that night, (Will a couple get back together?) (Probably) and when they first get to the party. (What do the dresses look like?)


Review, and Thanks for all the other wonderful reviews. See, I told you I write quicker when I get tons of great reviews!!!
