Shining Stars

** Scratches and Cats **


Bulma looked down upon the river below her while standing on a bridge. She sighed as she watched the river flow slowly over the rocks and the reflection of the sunset glitter on the water. A single tear drop fell down her cheek and sparkled as she thought of horrible thoughts from the previous night. The horrible dream she had had made her have a slight chill up her spine just thinking of the littlest thought about it. She wiped the tear from her flushed cheeks and walked towards the end of the wooden bridge. She walked slowly to the end of the road and jumped into her red convertible. She flipped down the mirror and looked at her reflection.

"My Kami, I look horrible!" she said pulling out her hair scrunchi and pulling her hair back into a pony tail. She fiddled around with her lavender tank top to make sure her sleeves covered the thin straps of her bra and slouched down in her seat wiping dirt off her flared blue jeans. "Thats a little better" Bulma uttered out only for herself to hear.

Bulma flipped the mirror back up and turned on the car. She took one more glimpse of herself in the rear view mirror and started out home. As she turned on the radio she noticed a strange scratch on her arm. I was in the shape of a star. "I wonder how that got there?" she quickly ignored it and pushed the on button to her stereo. She drove her way home with in ten minutes and parked the car quickly in her parking spot.

Moving towards the door she noticed a yellow cat cross her path she went over to it to see who it belonged to. To her surprise no owner tags but on the cats neck was a scratch in the shape of a star also just like her wrist.

"Thats strange....." Bulma murmured.

Bulma walked into her house with the cat in her arms and slammed the door behind her with her foot. She could smell the scent of pizza coming from the kitchen and her mothers cheery voice singing along to the tune of Janet Jackson. Bulma put the cat down and walked in to the kitchen to see her mom greet her with a smile.

"Why hello Bulma. Would you like some home made pizza?" Mrs. Briefs asked putting a slice on a dish in front of her.

"Sure." Bulma said looking at the peice of food in front of her. "Hey mom, is this unusual?" Bulma said flipping her arm over to see the strange star mark there.

"Why Bulma did you get a tattoo?" Mrs. Briefs asked being the ditz she is.

"No mom look closer it a scratch not a tattoo. See its blood there or it was. I didn't even noticed I had it till today." Bulma said pointing at the mysterious scratch.

Mrs. Briefs examined the scratch in the shape of a star.

"Looks normal to me. Bulma you worry to much. Its just a scratch!" Mrs. Briefs exclaimed with a smile on her face.
"Whatever you say mom..." Bulma said looking down at her wrist.


*Later that Night*

Bulma sat on the couch flipping through a magazine. Suddenly she found an add in the back. It had a wrist with the scratch of star shape just like hers.

"If you have this scratch on your wrist please call this number" Bulma read aloud. The cat jumped up on the couch and examined what she was reading. The cat quickly hissed and scratched at the magazine add.

"Hey hey!" Bulma yelled at the cat. "Stop it you!" Bulma said letting curiosity get the best of her. She looked at the number and wrote it on the palm of her hand.

The cat continued to hiss at the magazine and tried to tear the add.

"Will you stop it its just a magazine. Ya know what I gotta give you a name then maybe you will obey. Lets see what about.... Star since you are yellow and have that star under your neck." Bulma said while petting the cat and ring to calm it down.

The cat continued to disobey Bulma and took the magazine with its teeth. It ran down the long hallway with the magazine clutched in its mouth.

"Get back here you!" Bulma yelled at the cat. Bulma then looked down at her palm were the number from the add was written. "Never mind......" Bulma whispered.

Bulma looked down at her palm once again and took a deep breath. "Its worth a try to call" said Bulma heading towards the phone.
