Nightmares

Chapter 3: Enter Goten

He stared sullenly at the picture of him, his BFF Trunks, and Trunks's girlfriend, Marron. It wasn't fair how Trunks always got the pretty girl. It just wasn't fair. He loved Marron, just like Trunks did. But did he get her? No, of course not.

Not that he blamed it on his best friend, of course. It was just unfair. He was staying at Trunks's tonight, like he did almost every night.. The door opened, allowing chatter to stream in from outside. Marron must have arrived. He glared at the floor.

Pan and Bra walked in, their faces flushed from shopping. He grinned. "Hey, Pan, Bra!" "Oh, hi, Goten! Pan's staying tonight." "That's nice. Marron's coming, too. Maybe we can play Monopoly or something. Even though Trunks always creams the rest of us, including his girlfriend."

"It wouldn't be fair if he didn't cream me too." A female voice came in through the door. Marron opened the door, stepping inside. "Hi Pan, Bra, Goten!" She smiled at the trio. The three waved at her. No matter what Marron "did" to you, you could never stay mad at her. It wasn't usually her fault, anyway.

Trunks walked into the room, smiling evilly. "Yo, Bra, up for a round of Tekken Tag?" Bra glared at him. "Of course. And I'll win this time! You'll see!" Marron, Pan, and Goten laughed. "That's what you said last time, Bra."

"I will!" Bra yelled at them. "Come and watch me!" They declined. "Why bother? It always happens the same way!" Goten groaned. Bra would have to learn that she couldn't beat Trunks at his own game. She wouldn't though. He knew that much. He also knew Trunks would never stop challenging her.

This game was beginning to get boring to him, he hated to admit. But it didn't matter. Because it was a tradition in the Briefs Vejita household. It would never stop. Well, as far as Goten knew it wouldn't.

So far as anyone knew, it wouldn't.

Trunks won again. Goten sighed. He knew it. Trunks always won that game, so why did Bra play? There was no real point, other than losing and throwing temper tantrums.
