[A/N]: Well I have an idea what I'm going to do now. Hurrah. Chapter 4. Thanks for all that reviewed. Sorry it took so long.

"More please!" Goten and Goku said raising their bowls for their 7th helping of rice just as Chi-Chi was halfway eating her first.
She glared at them out of corner of her trying to tell them subliminally to get their own food. It didn't work. What a bunch of bakas. Chi-Chi rolled her eyes and took their bowls and scooped more rice in it.
"So how was school son?" Goku managed to ask between bites.
Goten swallowed down the food, "It was boring."
Chi-Chi gave him an evil glare.
"I mean I LOVE school!" Goten said rushing, "It just confuses me. Especially Space Machinery."
Chi-Chi's face softened but still said, "That's no excuse. Look at Gohan and how far he has gotten."
Goten rolled his eyes at the mention of his mother's 'golden boy'. "But it's OK," Goten said, "I'm going to have tutors here at noon."
Chi-Chi looked at Goten suspiciously at his sudden interest in school performance.
"And who might they be?"
"A girl named Marron and a guy named Trunks," he mumbled under his breath.
"WHAT???" Chi-Chi screeched at the top her lungs as Goku started choking on his food. Goten blinked. He didn't expect such a strong reaction from them.
"Trunks Briefs, prince of all saiyans?" Chi-Chi asked him looking closer at his son.
"Marron Chestnut, a blond girl?" Goku asked after he managed swallow the remains of his food.
"Yes…" Goten, said in a daze, he knew that they would recognize Trunk's name but how did they know Marron's? And what is it with the Briefs? Last time he checked Trunk's last name wasn't Briefs.
Goku and Chi-Chi went into a sudden huddle to discuss something. Finally they broke up.
"Erm… Will any of their parents know where they are?" Goku asked after Chi-Chi elbowed him.
"No it's all secret."
"Well then," Chi-Chi said, "You will have to hide all pictured of Gohan in the house. We don't want to blow his cover."
Goten nodded and began to go around at lighting speed around the house to find any trace that there was once another boy living here. Chi-Chi began to clean the house for the guest and Goku began to train outside.
'Things are going to be harder then I thought,' Goten said to himself.

'Kuso…. It's almost noon,' She thought to herself as she dashed to her room to get her books and notes.
"Bye mom!" she shouted as she sprinted to the door.
"Stop. Turn." Her mother demanded and Marron could only do as her mom commanded, "Tell me where you are going."
"Er…" Marron said braindead. 'Think Chestnut think,' she said to herself.
"Anti-Saiyan for representation party!" She blurted out. She knew her mother loved Anti-Saiyan things more then anything.
Her mother had a pleased look that crossed on her face and headed back into the kitchen, "Well that's nice dear. Now move along. We wouldn't want you to be late."
Marron sighed with relied and head to the door and ran into her dad who had a stern look on his face.
"You might be able to fool your mom but you can't fool me. I know what's going on," he said with a grim face.
"You… do?" Marron squeaked.
"Yes," he nodded wisely, "I knew it from he beginning. I can see right through you."
"You… can?" she said nervously.
"Yes now don't act stupid," he said seriously, "And don't try to do deny it like I know you will try to do."
"I… will?"
"Yes, but you can't lie to me."
"I can't?" she said sweating.
"You're going……." He took a deep breath before continuing, "On a date!"
"I am… I mean of course I am!" she said quickly, "How stupid of me to think I could fool you. I guess you are just way to smart for me."
"You are darn right I am," he said solemnly, "But I guess I can't keep you in your room forever. Good thing I prepared for this very day."
"You… have?"
Krillin left the room and returned with a huge book.
"What is this?" she asked as he gave her the book. She had almost fallen over from the weight and she couldn't even seen from above the papers.
"Rules," Krillin said gruffly, "Along with ways to say no, self defense tips, and an insert of places you are forbidden to go."
"Rules?" she asked dazed.
"Rules," he said firmly, "About Dating. No kissing other then the cheek, no touching inappropriate places, you must stay 6 inches away from your significant other when dancing, no drinking…"
"I get the idea," she said trying to kiss him on the cheek and balance the stack at the same time, "And don't worry about me daddy. I'll be OK.
She opened the door with great difficulty and she could here her dad sniffle in the background.

Trunks fidgeted, noon was coming closer and closer. And here he was stuck at a boring conference morning with his family and the family advisors. Apparently his mother, Maron, was under great distress.
"Ok," Maron said in near tears, "I am under sooooo much pressure, and I can only trust what you guys say. You must not promise never tell anyone."
"What is it already Onna?" said Vegeta crossly. She has been telling them to promise secrecy for the past thirty minutes.
"This!" Maron said thrusting her hand in front of him. Vegeta rose and eyebrow.
"What about it? You still have five fingers."
"How could you be so insensitive," she said bursting in tears, "My nails are pink! My dress is red! It's just all so wrong."
Everyone fell over anime style while Maron was still in hysterics. Finally Bra managed to say something.
"Why don't you just repaint them, queen?" Just like Trunks, Bra-chan never called Maron mom. He called her Miss and Bra called her Queen. But Maron didn't mind; they never acted like a family why pretend to call them son or daughter?
"That's a wonderful idea! I'm glad I thought of it," she said dashing out of the room.
"Well if I'm done here I have to go now," Trunks said running to the door, "Big business."
Bra looked after her brother in suspicion an announced, "I have to go potty."
Vegeta scowled, "Well then go. No need to announce it to the whole world."
Bra began to run after her brother. She may 9 but she was smarter then most saiyans. She caught sight of Trunks just as he began to crawl out of the window.
"Where are you going!" Bra demanded and Trunks was so surprised he jumped and hit his head on the window.
"B…Bra… What are you doing here?" he said stuttering.
"Watching you run away."
"Don't tell dad and the Queen," he pleaded on his knees, "I'll do anything."
"Anything…" Bra said with a mischievous grin.
"…Anything," he said firmly after he hesitated.
"Well then go," Bra said, "I'll cover for you."
Trunks exhaled and then jumped out of the window and began to fly over to Goten's house.
Bra sighed sadly and watched her brother fly away. She hated being alone. Well soon she would have her brother around her finger. She walked away thinking of the many things she could tell him do.
"Spiders in the Queen's underwear, Playing tea with me…. And making him wear a dress, making him do all my school work…"

Marron knocked on her uncle's door. She could hear noises from the behind the door but no one came to open it.
Marron knocked louder but still no one was coming.
"UNCLE! IT'M MARRON OPEN UP!" she bellowed. She could hear a thump and a squeak from a girl, a sigh, and after awhile, reluctant footsteps heading to the door. Her Uncle came out with messy hair and was only in boxers
"Marron," her disheveled 17 said through clenched teeth, "How nice to see you. But you sort of caught me at a bad time, I have company over."
Marron had to surpress a laugh, "Well I can hear that you are… 'busy', but I need your help right now. I need you to fly me somewhere."
"I can't. I'm with…. Someone very important."
"Is that so," Marron said with an evil smile, "I guess I'll have to come in and tell her about all the other important people that have been in your life so far."
"You wouldn't…"
"Lily, Charlotte, Reianda…"
He covered her mouth and said, "Ok… Ok I get the point. I'll be right back."
A few minutes he came back fully dressed and his slick black hair combed.
"You know what," he said to her, "Sometimes I think you act just like your mother."
"Heaven forbid," Marron said giggling and handed him Krillin's book of rules before she climbed on his back.
"What's this for?" he asked her confused.
"Something someone gave me," Marron said, "but I think you need it more then I do."

Goten was training with his dad.
'Punch… dodge," he thought in his head as he fought against his dad, 'punch…. Kick… Hey I'm doing pretty well!'
"Just as he thought that he was punched in the face and was hurtling toward the ground.
"That hurt," he mumbled rubbing his jaw in pain. Chi-Chi walked out of the house drying her hand on her apron.
"That's enough you two. Trunks and Marron will be here soon," she scolded.
Just as she said that Goten and Goku felt a strong ki head towards them. They looked skywards and saw a black hared man flying towards them with Marron on his back holding him tight for her dear life.
The man landed and tried to pry Marron off of him. Goku and Goten hid their tails from view so that Marron's uncle did not suspect them to be a saiyan/human couple.
"Marron…" he said gasping for air, "Get… off… of… me."
Marron finally realized that she wasn't flying anymore, let go of her uncle. Goten thanked Kami that he wasn't the one she was hanging on this time.
"Hello, Goten," she wheezed out trying to stand up all the way.
Then Marron tried to walk to him but she found her legs were weak from fear and she fell on the grass. She tried to steady herself and closed her eyes.
She didn't notice Trunks landing near her and walking towards her lying body.
So when she opened her eyes he was the first person she saw.
"YOU!" the both exclaimed.
