The morning snuck by slowly as Arc lay in his bed. He remembered Videl waking him up those many years ago and smiled. I guess I still have some feelings for her, he thought and frowned. He woke up and looked in his closet and acted like he was searching for what to wear. In reality there was many different pairs of the same three outfits. His training gi, an outfit that looked like the one he wore all his lif, black shirt with big collar, white thermal, and jeans, and then his Spike clothes.

He chose his training gi deciding that they would probably have a sparring tournament at the party. He looked at his clock he was going to go at noon so he still had a few hours. I think that I'll go see Krillin. He flew over to the house to realize that Krillin and 18 were *cough* busy.

Marron ran down stairs and said, "I don't care where you're going just get me away from her," he nodded and she yelled, "Mom, Dad I'm going to go train."

They flew off with great speed and then Marron came up with an idea. "Let's go see Videl and Gohan."

"Alright let's go," he said and they headed for Satan City. They got to the house and knocked on the door. Gohan answered.

"Hey guys," he said, "What's new?"

"Just coming to see if you guys want to do something," Arc explained.

"As a matter of fact we do want to do something," Gohan said. He disapeared and then reapeared holding Pan. "Here take her to Bulma's she is going over to see Bra." He handed her over and said, "Thanks guys," before closing the door in his face.

Arc and Marron stood there in shock for a little while and then flew off toward Capsule Corp. They reached it quickly and set down in the front yard. Goten and Trunks were outside. Pan ran over to Trunks and he picked her up.

"Hey Pan-chan. What are you doing here?" Trunks asked her.

"Hi Trunks, "she said smiling, "I'm coming over to see Bra."

"Alright," he said putting the chibi down. "She's in her room." Pan flew up and gave Trunks a kiss on the cheek and then flew off towards Bra's bedroom.

"Oh how cute," Marron said.

"Well what are you doing over here?" Goten asked.

"Well Arc was going over to my house to see my parents. I'm glad he didn't that would be enough to scar someone for life."

Goten looked a little puzzled for a little bit as everyone else shuddered. He finally got it a shuddered as well.

"You've got to admit though," Trunks started, "your mom is hot."

Arc was surprised by the fourteen year olds statement, or by Marron punching him in the stomach causing him to fold over in pain. Goten fell over laughing and Arc just smiled.

"That hurt," he said after regaining his breath.

"Serves you right," she said. Then she walked into the house.

"Well I'm going to give you some information. One, don't ever say something like that about someones parents, or siblings and two. You're damn right she's hot," Arc said getting a smile from Trunks and Goten.

He walked in and found Bulma talking to Marron about her latest invention. "Oh hey look there's Arc," she said trying to get Bulma's mind off her work.

"Oh hi Arc," she greeted, "would you like to listen about my invetion."

"Well I would love to," he said, but then added, "but I'm going to go spar with Vegeta."

She smiled and said, "Oh then you do have time. Vegeta is watching his shows."

Arc was beaten, so he just stood there and listened until she was done. When she finished it was already 11:00am. A knock was heard on the door and it revield Chi-chi, and Goku.

"Hey Bulma," they said at the simutaneously.

"Goku immediately asked where the food was but Bulma said, "Not until the party starts." Making Goku whine.

The guest arrived around noon, and soon a sparring tournament ensued. Only the Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and Krillin participated while the others watched or did other things. Goku and Gohan fought and Goku won. Vegeta and Krillin fought and Krillin won. In the final match Goku beat Krillin. During the whole mini-tournament no on went to Super Saiyan or Nyuushin. This was Vegeta's complaint at the moment.

"Well Kakorotto if you didn't put that restriction on you all wouldn't of stood a chance," Vegeta scowled.

"Sure Vegeta," Goku said.

"Baka," Vegeta said under his breath as he walked off toward the buffet table. He looked over and saw Arc putting something in a glass of water. He walked over and asked, "What is that?"

"Well Vegeta this is spiked water for Piccolo," he gave an evil smirk. "Gohan's idea I'm just going through with it."

"Well this should be interesting," Vegeta said.

Arc gave Piccolo the water and he drank it in one gulp. Arc decided to leave right then before the affects took place. He was hungry and no doubt Vegeta would let him know if anything happens.

As he stood by the buffet table Gohan walked up to him. "Hey man why didn't you join in the tournament?" he asked. Arc didn't notice though, something else caught his eye and stopped him dead. Karen was at the party, and she was starring back at.

She walked up to him slapped him, said, "We're through," and then ran off. Arc ran after her, but Goku stopped him.

"She'll talk when she's ready," the Saiyan said.

Arc knew there was logic behind his words, but that didn't mean he still didn't want to chase after her and ask what was wrong. He finally decided that he would wait until she was ready. He sulked over to the corner ans sat down on a couch. He was totally oblivious to the fact that the now drunk Piccolo was putting on quite a show in the living room.

He looked over and saw another was sitting on the couch. It was a girl about his age with short black hair execpt for the tail that hung medium height on the front left side of her face. She was a beautiful young girl, but something was wrong. She had a blank stare on her face and a tear was rolling down her face. She looked up at the party and Arc recognized her.

"Neena" he said, and she looked over with a sniff, "What's wrong? Why are you crying?" He was now concerned.

"Arc is that you?" she asked and he nodded. Threw herself around him crying openly into his chest. He didn't exactly no what to do so he put his arms around her. "My mom just died in a car crash."

Arc was shocked. His problem now seemed rather pitiful. "I'm so sorry," he said holding her tighter. "Is there anthing I can do?"

"Thank you. Just hold me," whe said letting her tears come again.

Gohan saw this and was going to go over but Videl grabbed him by the shirt. "Let him handle this Gohan. I'm sure he can take care of it by himself." Gohan nodded and then looked over at his friend. Good luck, he thought.

She feels so good in my arms, he thought, but then he scolded himself. Ha it's easy to forget your problems when someone elses are right there. The pain was still fresh from Karen and plus Neena just lost her mom she just needs a friend. He looked down at her and saw she was asleep.

When she woke up and hour later she looked up at Arc and said, "I guess I should be getting home."

"Okay I'll walk you to your car," Arc suggested.

"No I walked, because I only live a block that way she pointed to her left. The big brown house on the corner," she explained.

"Woah I've seen that house it's big. Almost as big as here."

"Yeah it's going to feel wierd being in there all alone," she looked as a sharp pain hit her.

"You're gonna be alone in that big house? You don't need that, why don't you stay here tonight? I'm sure Bulma wont mind."

"No I don't want to be a bother, and I really don't know Mrs. Briefs. Videl invited me."

"Well then," Arc thought out loud, "I still have that room Videl stayed in. If you wouldn't mind then you can stay there. I just don't want to see you all alone at such painful times," Acr said.

"I don't want to be a bother," she said.

"It's fine," Arc said, "but if you don't want to I'm not forcing you."

"Well it would be nice to have someone around," she said. "Kami I've missed you."

They then walked outside and Arc pulled out a capsule. Neena looked at him and whispered, "Why don't you just fly?"

Arc taken aback by this comment looked at her and asked, "How do you know about that!?"

"Well I saw you talking to Videl a few years ago at that bank hiest," she explained.

"Ha, well okay." He picked her up and flew toward his house.

As they flew Neena started thinking. Has he always been this nice? of course he has. I mean he and Gohan are most polite people she had ever seen. She remembered the time she came over to have a slumber party with Videl and Erasa and she was staying Arc's. That was the first time she had really ever talked to him, besides the normal "hi's" when they saw each other outside of school. They started talking to him and he told them about growing up at his Uncle's shrine and then his training with Gohan, of course he had held back the flying and lazer stuff.(A/N: he also left out the Cell stuff but she doesn't know the truth about the Cell games)

We decided to let Arc hang out with us instead of him stay in his room. She giggled remembering Arc trying to get away from them, but to no avail.

"What's so funny?" he asked curiously.

"I was just remembering Videl's slumber party," she said and giggled again.

"Oh yeah," he said with a grin. "That was some night."

"Yeah."

"Well we're here," he said setting down.

They walked in and Arc set her up in the guest room. "Okay I'm going to be right next door. If you need anything then don't hesitate to wake me. Do you remember where everything is?"

"Yeah. Thank you Arc."

He nodded and they went to bed.
