:::Curtain closes:::
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was December 23rd, two days after Venus' and Mars' visit. Goten had decided not to tell Usagi about the incident, it would only be worry her, so he kept it to himself. Gohan and Usagi had become much closer though. Bulma and Chichi kept a an eye on them to make sure they didn't get "too" close.
Today was the one day on their vacation that they actually went skiing. The only people who were good at it were Goku, who was good at everything he did, and surprisingly Diana, who used four skies instead of two. Vegeta was determined to learn how to ski or die trying. As we all know, he has to be better than Goku at everything. Hotaru had given up a long time ago, so she and Diana (in her human form) went off to flirt with some ski instructors. Chichi was off talking to some other housewives about her prize-winning recipes. Gohan and Usagi were off in their own little make-out world by the front of the lodge. It just so happened that Bulma's rival company-Air Cars Asso.- was also taking their vacation at the same ski resort, and the C.E.O had a proposition for Bulma.
"Ah, Mrs. Briefs, how nice it is to see you again, you're looking lovelier than ever."
"Er...thank you Mr.Rigatony...um...likewise," she said, with the biggest fake grin on her face.
"Well, you know that gentleman's club that I own just South of town? It seems like one of my waitresses has come down with the flu, and I was wondering..."
"If I could fill in?" Bulma finished for him.
"Well, no...I was thinking more about that lovely step-daughter of yours! My she is a peach!" (A/N: My own words are starting to scare me...)
"Yeah...peachy..." Bulma muttered.
"Well, do you think she'd do it?"
"No, I don't think so, she's pretty young and...."
"Too bad, I was willing to give half my royalties if you did..."
"H....HALF?!?! Hold on! Let me go talk to her!"
With much begging and bribing from Bulma, she finally got a yes from Usa. It was set. At 7:00, she would go work for Mr. Rigatony's club, if only she knew what a true nightmare it would be...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I can't believe I'm wearing this...what kind of club is this again?" asked Usagi. She was wearing the evrpopularPlay-boy bunny costume, as was required at the club. (A/N: BIG PUN HERE!!!)
"He just said it was a gentleman's club sweetie. All you have to do is wait on people ," said Bulma, who was hemming the back of the suit.
Gohan walked into the room, and abruptly stopped as soon as he caught sight of Usagi.
"Ho boy...."
"Well don't get used to this kind of wardrobe, buddy, this is a one-time thing," Usa spat back.
Bulma grinned a hentai smile. "I just think I'll leave you two alone..." and she closed the door.
Gohan started cracking up. "I still can't believe you're wearing that..."
She crossed her arms. "I thought you'd be the last one to complain!"
Gohan grinned. "Trunks told me where your tickle spots were last night...."
Usagi's eyes widened. "Oh.....no...."
And in two seconds he was on her(A/N: Not like that you perverted people !!!!!) and it turned into a wrestling match(A/N: Still not like that.....) until Hotaru creeked open the door.
"Come on Odango, you're late, you can have your "private time" with Gohan later."
She gave him a quick peck on the cheek. "See you later..." and then left.
Gohan sighed and looked out the window to see the chibi's having a snowball fight. Goten threw one at Trunks in the face, then Trunks did the same, and while they baoth weren't looking, Marron got them both in the back of the head. They watched Usagi get in an air car and fly away.
"Where is she going?" asked Goten.
Trunks answered. "To some club."
"I wonder what you do there..." thought Marron aloud.
Then Trunks got that unmistakable you-know-he's-going-to-do-something-bad look on his face.
"What do you say we find out? Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Goten nodded, and they both started off in the direction of the club.
"Wait! What about me?" called Marron after them.
"It's not my fault you can't fly blondie!!" yelled Trunks.
"I can't just leave her there," sighed Goten. He went over and picked up Marron by the waist.
"Thank you Goten," she said, and the trio flew off towards the horizon. Gohan saw all of this.
"Oh no! They aren't allowed there !! I've gotta go stop them!!" He too flew off towards the sunset, with no idea of what would lie ahead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey Pinky! We want another round of beers over here!!" yelled a tubby man named Jones.
Usagi gritted her teeth, she was getting pretty sick of this. For the past hour, she had repeatedly been called "Pinky", and was grabbed on the ass every time she walked by. She was so absorbed in in her own misfortunes, she didn't notice her brother and co. walk in
"Wow, this place is huge...." said Marron gazing at her surroundings. The place basically looked like a well-organized rave. Lights were flashing, girls were flashing, and you knew half of the people there would go home as drunk as a skunk. Goten's eyes fell on a bottle of peppermint schnapps. Although he didn't know what schnapps were, he did know what peppermint was, and he soon had downed the whole bottle.
"Ahh, Goten....Maybe you shouldn't drink that...." Trunks' voice trailed off. Maybe it had something to do with Saiyan D.N.A, but instead of taking the usual slow process of becoming drunk when consuming huge amounts of liquor, it was instantaneous.
"Are YOU talking to ME??" Goten slurred.
"What?"
"You heard me little girl...."
"Goten, I'm your buddy Trunks, remember? Hello?"
"OH!! MY GOOD FRIEND THE BOXERS!!!!"
"Goten, keep your voice down!"
"DID YOU JUST INSULT MEH MOMMA???!!!!"
"No! What's wrong with you...you... wh-WHERE"S MARRON??!!"
Indeed, Marron was missing, no one knew where she had gone....or who with.....
"Marron! MARRON!! Damnit Goten, help me find her!!"
"The hills are alive with the sound of muuuusiiiiccc...."
"Goten, this isn't time for showtunes! We have to find Marron!"
"Karen?"
"No, Marron."
"Sharen?"
"NO! STUPID!! MAR-RON!!!"
"Terran?"
"Oh kami....what did I do to deserve this......"
"Darren?"
"....sure, I've blown up a few things....people....."
"Or is it FARRON?"
"....but you're suppose to forgive and forget...right?"
"I LOVE BROCCOLI!!!"
"...That's nice. Lets go ask if anyone's seen Marron."
The first person they asked was from America as a tourist.
"Excuse me, my name is Trunks Briefs and we're looking for a little blond girl.... "
The Texan lady interrupted him. "Oh MY!! Aren't you PRECIOUS!!! Look at those CHEEKS!!!" She picked him up by the face.
"Ma'me, I know that I'm very cute and adorable, but if you don't let go of my face I'm going to have to kill you."
"AWW. Ain't that SWEET..."
Trunks flashed Super Saiyan, and the horrified lady instantly dropped him.
"Thank you."
Goten slung an arm around him. "HOW 'YA DOIN' BOXER BUDDY??!!"
"Goten what did I say about keeping your voice down?"
"Aww, I love you too...."
"Hmmm, I don't really remember saying that I love you, but whatever. Let's ask someone else."
The second person they asked was about as wasted as Goten.
"Okay, we're looking for a girl named Marron, short, no nose..."
Yet again he was cut off.
"Dude.....none of us have noses....." said the man drunkenly.
"AND THAT MY FRIEND IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD TODAY!!!!" shouted Goten.
"Right on bro!" said the man, giving Goten a high five.
"I don't believe this..." said Trunks shaking his head.
He dragged Goten away from the man who kept trying to give his own theory of relativity.
"Hey BOXER, if you eat edible underwear, DOES it make you a cannibal??!! asked Goten.
"No Goten...."
"Who's Goten?"
"Oh Kami....let's go ask somebody else...."
The third and final person they asked looked very shifty, and wore a trench coat.
"I'm sorry, but we're looking for a missing friend. Squeaky voice, kinda annoying, goes by the name of Marron. You see her?"
"You lookin' for a lady tonight son?"
"She's not exactly a lady...."
"I could hook you up with one."
"Wha-"
"If you're willing to pay the price...."
"You lost me here..."
"100$ for the first hour, 200$ for the second hour, and 500$ for the whole nine yards..."
Trunks' eyes widened as it dawned on him. This man.....was a pimp...
"ACK!!! YOU BAD BAD MAN!!! I'M ONLY NINE!!! WHAT THE HELLL IS YOUR PROBLEM??!! Come on Goten!!"
"What'll you give me for a quarter?" Goten hiccupped as Trunks scooted him away from the pimp.
"Ugh, I can't believe some people. Screw asking around for Marron, let's go on the stage, you can see everything from there. Maybe we can see Marron."
"OH BOXERS!!! THAT'S SO TOUCHING!!!!" Goten wailed.
Trunks pryed Goten off of him, and dragged him on to the stage. Unfortunately, you weren't allowed on the stage unless you could dance, of course, there was a dance that all of the Zen Warriors knew. Even under the influence of the peppermint schnapps, Goten was sober enough to try.
"FUSION-HA!!!" and the two became Gotenks.
It was the first time the entire night that Usagi had noticed them. She dropped the two martinis she was currently holding, and rushed to the stage.
"Goten.....Trunks.....whoever you are....what are you doing here?"
"We wanted to see what a club was like."
"Well get down from there!" She yanked Gotenks off the stage, and onto the ground.
"We were on the stage because we can't find Marron."
"You lost Marron? Shit, Eighteen's gonna kill me...you guys wait here. There's a speaker up at the front, I can try to page her down."
Usa left Gotenks, and walked towards the entrerance. On the front desk , behind an abandoned coffee mug, lay the speaker. She reached to pick it up when an arm reached behind her and wrapped around her waist.
He spoke. "I missed you."
She couldn't see behind her, but she could guess.....
"Hi Gohan, I know it's you."
"Funny, my name isn't Gohan..."
....but her guess could be wrong.....
Usagi froze, she suddenly recognized the icy tone of voice.
Endymion.
She was caught. All of her Saiyan instincs vanished, and she turned into a quivering bowl of jelly. He cupped a hand over her mouth to cover her whimpers and cries.
"I wouldn't try to struggle Serenity, some pepople might get hurt."
His cape pushed aside to see Marron, bondaged with a tear-stained face. He turned around to make her look at him.
"I think you have a decision to make Serenity. I'll leave you alone.....if I can take you with me...."
Usagi looked down at Marron's pleading eyes, crying waterfalls. She had no choice but to comply....
But then a miracle happened.
Son Gohan walked throgh the door, very exhausted since he had no idea how to get to the club, and he had to find it by circling the area many times.
He didn't know it, but he had just saved his girlfriend's ass.
Mamoru glared at the boy who had just walked through the revolving door. He was so close to getting what he wanted.... He looked back at the trembling Usagi, and a twisted grin grew on his face.
"It looks like boy-toy has arrived. Too bad we can't have any fun. But you know what, I think I'll be generous for the holidays and let you be---for now..."He still had her by the wrists, she glanced down and saw that Marron was still trying to wriggle free from her ropes that held her.
"Marron, what about Marron, Kami please don't take her..."
Mamoru's smile grew even bigger, he loved to see her beg. "Take the little bitch, she can be your Christmas present." He kicked her over to the other side of the room.
"Oh, and one more thing little pet..."
She bit down on her bottom lip to keep from crying. "WHAT??! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT??!!"
He bent down to her height level, eyes filled with malice, spawning into her own.
"....I always win."
He grabbed her chin, finger nails clawing into her flesh, and hastily brought his lips to hers. He had something to prove, to prove that she was his property, to that stupid boyfriend of hers that just now saw the two of them.
Gohan had seen it all, meaning he saw what took place, not actually hearing the conversation, or understanding what really happened.
What? Was I a fling? Did the thought of the two of us mean nothing to her? Does this mean jackshit or did she ever even care?
He had never felt so hurt, betrayed in his life. He turned to leave, forgetting about the chibis, when he saw something more disgusting than the thought of his girlfriend going behind his back. He saw her tears, and the strange man beginning to rip the fabric of her costume.
Oh no....she's not cheating....he's hurting her....
Mamoru pulled his lips away from Usagi's with the same sadistic smile.
"I better go before boyfriend gets mad," he sneered. He pulled an ivory mirror from his coat pocket and held it in front of him.
"To Neptune," he uttered, and with a flash of light he was gone.
Usagi tried her best to wipe away her tears, and untie a very battered and hazy Marron. And then she felt arms around her again.
Except this time, the hold was warm and caring--not Mamoru.
"What happened?" asked Gohan. He turned around to face her. She couldn't stop sobbing. She buried her head in his chest.
"Please just take me home Gohan, just take me home...."
