A/N: Italicized text: "Can't Stop" by I. Hanson, T. Hans... OH GAWD, it's a HANSON song, there! I don't feel like typing it all! Anyway it's probably the dumbest song from that album but it fits the mood, and... Vegeta: Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Moon: SHUT UP, VEGGIE! Vegeta: *raises eyebrows* Don't call me that in public. Ever. Moon: Ha ha ha ha ha HA! What's the mattwer, Veggie doesn't wike his nickname? Vegeta: If you value the lives of those Hanson boys, you'll shut up!!

=X

Oh and thanks for being so patient in waiting for this chapter!! ^_^ Also, I'm getting all Japanese on you people in this chapter. Why, you ask? I don't know. I feel like it. Ask any questions in reviews. One more thing: Vegeta's name is BEJIITA in Japanese, ok? Don't leave me reviews asking me why his name is spelled that way, cos I'll have to get very, very, very ANNOYED. (Want to know why—read reviews on Scratch Beneath)

Face the Music

Chapter Five: Can't Stop

Trunks stepped on a cord and tripped. He cursed under his breath and he heard chuckling behind him. He got up.

"Good job." Marron's voice. He turned around to face her when another cord appeared out of nowhere and he tripped again.

"KUSO! What is it with this equipment?!"

She shrugged, suppressing more laughter. She put out her hand, offering him some help to get up for the second time.

Can't stop thinking about you...

Morning, day or night

I tremble at your sight-

It's impossible to fight, I've tried...

He took it gladly and kissed it for dramatic effect. She giggled, "A tad uncoordinated today, are we, love?" She lowered her voice and moved closer to his ear, "That wouldn't have had anything to do with last night, would it? I wouldn't want this relationship hinder your abilities to perform..."

"I—" *No, you perverts—they didn't DO IT yet! ...~_^*

"Onissan!" Bra came running towards their spot on the stage.

"Marron-chan!" Krillin and Juuhachigou came soon after. Before their families assaulted the two, Trunks gave Marron a look that just screamed, Later.

Now you're in my head

And your mind I've read

Could recite the words you've said, now I

Can't stop thinking about you...

"Dad, mom!" She turned and gave each of her parents hugs.

"Konichiwa, imoto." Trunks smiled at his sister and Bra grinned,

"Quite a nice town, isn't it? The hotel suites are really nice, too. Oh, and Mar-chan! I have this whole afternoon planned out for us! Haven't you noticed the huge mall a couple of blocks from here?!"

"Bra," She giggled, "We have to do a sound check first and then grab some dinner and then perform!" She stopped laughing at Bra's look of disappointment. She wouldn't neglect her family and friends—she wouldn't! "But we have some time in between sound check and dinner to hang out. And instead of the food they give us here, how's about we all go out?" She smiled. And then coming from the side of the stage,

"...Pleeeasssee, Uncle Goten? I won't get in the way."

"Sure, I don't mind. Why don't you ask Marron-chan and Trunks-kun?"

"Won't get in the way when?" Trunks asked loudly with a smile. Pan jogged out to greet his waiting arms,

"Trunks-kun!"

Marron almost let herself frown. Almost. She's fifteen for Dende's sake! And more than that, she's my friend!

"Pan-chan! No hug for me?" She smiled and embraced her friend. Pan laughed as she pulled away,

"Of course! But I swear I won't continue my friendly loyalty unless you guys let me backstage tonight!"

Trunks laughed and Marron smiled, almost nervously. What was wrong with him? Why did he keep looking at Pan that way? Weren't they together now? He's mine, damn it!

I can't get you off my mind... *the awful sound of a record being torn from its player is heard and we find that Vegeta has thrown it on the floor. "This song is NOT the mood of this chapter, baka!" Moon: (crying) I know! It all just started turning out this way! Guys, don't kill me!!! Vegeta: (smirking) Well now at least we don't have to listen to that song anymore. (Moon takes his ear and begins leading him up to his room) TEE HEE. *

"And just why wouldn't we let you, again?" Trunks asked, rolling his eyes. He poked Pan in the side and she blushed. Just as this was taking place, Marron noticed Bulma and Bejiita striding towards the rest of the group, followed by a reluctant Goku, who was being dragged by Chichi.

"But what about that table of snacks—"

"Shut up, Kakkarotto! We'll eat later! Now I would like to see my brat that I haven't spoken to in three months."

"Wow, Bejiita, I didn't know you cared so much."

Trunks, Bra and Goten put a hand over their faces and sweatdropped.

"Toussan!" Goten shamelessly gave his older clone (Goku) a big hug. "I didn't know you were back again!"

"Trunks-chan!" Bulma gave her son a kiss on the cheek. He laughed and gave her a hug. She moved away and he looked at his dad.

"Otoussan." He nodded. And then something historical happened—Bejiita smiled. Everyone except Trunks fell down anime style. He smiled back at his dad, "It's nice to see you, too."

"Oh don't get your hopes up, I'm just happy that I have someone to spar with today. Kakkarotto refuses for some idiotic reason!" He said, still smiling. Everyone who had gotten up finally continued to stare, and then it was Trunks' turn to fall over. Everyone looked at Bejiita.

"Nani?" He asked irritably. Sighs around the stage.

A/N 2: SO WHAT THE HFIL IS GOING ON?! .. Stay tuned. Uh-oh.. I'm starting to sound like Kyle Herbert.. damn him! ^_^
