Disclaimer: Once again, I don't own Dragon Ball Z or any other shows I have taken stuff out of and if I use something that you have used before, I'm sorry I did not deliberately do this.
Notice: I have changed some things in this fanfiction. First I don't know a lot of stuff past the Cell saga because here in Australia, that is where we are up to. Anyway, in this fanfiction, Bulma and Vegeta aren't married, Trunks is in his early twenties, Bra is in her late teens, Bra is going out with Goten and Pan is Trunks' girlfriend. If you see something else that isn't right about the fic, please tell me and I will fix it in my next story. Thank You.
Thank You to all the kind people, who gave me reviews, I really appreciate it. And because I had nothing better to do with my time and because the kind people wanted me too, I'm sitting at my computer, typing up the sequel.
Well, here I go again…
In the last episode of DRAGON BALL Z….

" Where's dad?" Bra asked her mother.
" I don't know and I don't care!" replied Bulma, in a fury.
Uh oh, thought Bra. This doesn't sound too good. I bet they had another fight. I hate it when they fight! Why do they fight all the time? Trunks was looking weird too. This must have been a big one.
Bra sighed and went to the table for dinner. As they all silently ate their dinner, the two Briefs children were thinking the same thought.
All is not right in the Briefs house.

Trouble.
Chapter 2, Trouble increases.
Son Goten drove happily towards his house, singing to himself. It had been a great day, he had gone to a movie with Bra, his girlfriend and they had seen a great movie. He pulled up in front of his house and walked inside, still singing to himself.
As he entered his house, his mother, Chi Chi was whacking his father over the head with a frying pan, because he had eaten most of the food in the house and now Chi Chi had to go shopping again tomorrow. Goku, her husband, just looked at her with his goofy, clueless face and tried to apologise.
After dinner, Goten went up to his room and flopped onto his bed. He started to think about what he would do tomorrow, maybe that he would go out with Bra again.
Suddenly, at about 9:30pm, he heard the doorbell. He relaxed, thinking it was one of his dad's friends who had to discuss training with him tomorrow.
But then he heard footsteps coming up the stairs to his room, and he opened the door to a crying Bra.
" Bra, what's wrong?" he asked her, wrapping his arms around her.
"It's my mum and dad, they had a really big fight and… and…" Bra broke off, sobbing.
After Goten had got her some water, she calmed down a little.
"Now, tell me what happened." Goten said, kissing her on the forehead.
"Well…" Bra related to Goten what had happened when she got home, sniffling. "…It was kind of obvious they had had a really big fight. But when they fight and dad flies off, he always comes back around dinnertime and by the next morning, they are back to normal. But he didn't arrive while we were eating dinner and I started to get really worried."
Oh no. Goten thought. I can't believe it. She is really affected by this. And after such a good day too.
Goten was shaken out of his thoughts as Bra went on.
"Anyway, after dinner, Trunks went to the lounge room and watched TV. But he was, like, not really watching it. I sat down next to him and he didn't even notice me. It freaked me out. I didn't know if I should have said anything to him or hugged him or something.
Suddenly the doorbell rang at about 8:00 and we jumped up. I mean, I thought it was dad. So did Trunks. We both ran to the door and threw it open and we started yelling and crying (well I did anyway) and we looked at who it was and it wasn't him, it was Eighteen. She had come to see mum about cooking recipes. Eighteen doesn't know how to cook very well. So of course, Eighteen wanted to know what we were so worried about. We told her mum would tell her."
"Gee," said Goten, "that must have been hard on you, finding out it wasn't him at the door."
" It was, Goten." Bra sniffed. " I felt the hope inside me die, like a candle that has just burnt out."
"So what happened then." Goten asked.
" Well, we waited until 9:15, then we realised he wasn't going to come home. Not tonight. I knew I had to get out of there before I broke down and I didn't want to upset everyone. I came here because I didn't know where else to go." Bra broke down again.
"My god, Bra. Do you want to stay here tonight with me?" Goten offered.
"Sure, thanks." Bra replied. "I hope things will work out." She said.
"Don't worry, they will." Goten replied. He hoped they would too. He really hoped so.

Eighteen flew home from Bulma's house, worried and confused. She had gotten there, only to have Bra and Trunks jump all over her and scream about how worried they were. Then they saw her and their faces dropped.
She had asked what the fuss was about, but they wouldn't tell her, they said to ask Bulma. Eighteen had walked into the kitchen to find Bulma cleaning up. Except she was in a fury. She had stormed around the kitchen, muttering to herself.
" What's wrong Bulma?" she had asked. Bulma had just growled in reply. After she had asked about five more times, Bulma had told her about the fight with Vegeta, her husband, and the fact that he had started it and everything was his fault.
She couldn't get a word out of Bulma after that.
As she landed on the front lawn, her husband, Krillen, greeted her.
" Hi Eighteen, don't worry, Marron just called and she's fine. She's out with some friend of hers. Hey, what happened? You're back awfully early." he called. Eighteen related the story to Krillen.
"Oh God." Krillen muttered. " I should have known this was going to happen. Sooner or later it was going to happen."
" Don't worry about it Krillen." Eighteen reassured Krillen. " I'm sure it will work out."

Trunks flew as fast as he could, away from his house. As much as his father annoyed him and treated him like he wasn't there, he was his father. He wondered where he was.
Trunks landed in front of the Son household. He walked to the front door and rang the doorbell. He needed to see his best friend.

Bra had fallen asleep in Goten's lap and Goten was falling asleep himself when suddenly, he heard the doorbell ring again.
The door opened and Trunks walked in.
" Hey Trunks, how ya doin?" Goten greeted him.
" How do you think I'm doing! My parents have had…"
"… a big fight. Bra told me before." Goten finished.
"Bra's here?" Trunks asked. Then he noticed his little sister on Goten's lap. "How long has she been here?"
"About 15 minutes."
Bra woke up with a start. "What the… Trunks, what are you doing here? I thought you were going to go to Pan's house?"
The three stayed up long into the night, talking and eventually they all fell asleep.

Bulma walked up the stairs to her bedroom. She had just finished watching the late night movie and she was very tired. It had been a good movie, a romance.
She got changed for bed and lay down, pulling the blankets over her. Then she pulled out her arm and reached over to give Vegeta a hug. Then she realised what had happened that day and pulled it back. But, underneath her annoyance and anger, a part of her missed him and started to worry.
What are you thinking Bulma? You actually want him to come back? Don't you remember what he said? You idiot…but I do hope he is ok…no you don't! Don't even think of his name! Now go to sleep!
But Bulma couldn't sleep for worry and anger. As much as she was angry with him at the moment, she did love him and she was concerned about where he was.
She was also worried about the kids. She knew that they hated it when she and Vegeta fought and she knew they were taking this hard.
What am I going to do? Bulma thought.
What am I going to do?
