Yeah, you all are probably wondering why this story is being Re-Released. Well, Fanfiction.Net is going to be a common stereotype of the government, of bookburners, and of super religious fanatics and CENSOR! Since I have a chapter of lemon in this story, they decided that it needed to be removed. Well, just because of my NC-17 rating, it was planning on being removed, so I went to change my rating, but nope, it wouldn't let me because of that. So I was forced to delete the story, reviews and all, and rerelease it. It's funny, too, cause I would've thought a site such as this would be opposed to censorship. Oh well. Next thing we know, we won't be able to include dragon ball z characters in our stories because it violates copyright laws. Ooops, lol, don't want to give FF.Net any ideas! Can anyone else say, "Third Reich is returning?" Damn fascists… ^_^;
I'd also like to point out that I've edited these up a bit and taken out the weird ass authors notes that serve no purpose now. So if you see AN3 when there's no AN2, don't worry, lol.

DISCLAIMER: She had dumps like a truck, truck truck. ... Yeah that's right.
Rhythm: Chapter 1 - Project Revealed!
Goten put his hands on his hips and he glared up to the top of the building. He grinned at the large sign above the roof.
"Rhythm..." Goten spoke to himself, grinning even wider. He turned his head to the entrance of the building. This was Goten's new dance club. Since he had some money to spare, he decided to make a business out of it. The only thing he could think of that he loved to do and would want to have fun doing was, of course, opening his own dance club.
Interrupting his thoughts, Goten's cell phone rang. He picked it out of his pocket and pressed the send button. He put the phone to his ear.
"Hai, moshi moshi!" Goten greeted.
"Goten! What's going on, buddy?" Trunks replied from the other end of the line. Goten grinned.
"Oh, nothing, Trunks," Goten said, "I can tell you're bored at the office."
"You got that right!" Trunks exclaimed, "Now, what are you up to?"
"Oh, well, I just finished that project I was working on. You remember it, don't you?" Goten asked. Trunks nodded, but then realized Goten couldn't see him, so he quickly replied with a "hai."
"Awesome Goten!" Trunks said, "I'll be down there in fifteen minutes!" Goten grinned.
"Now how do you plan on getting out of the office?" Goten asked. Trunks laughed.
"You'll see!" They said their goodbyes, and Trunks hung up first. But Goten realized that Trunks didn't really hang up. His phone must've missed the hang up button, for Goten could hear everything that was going on.
The noise of a window opening was soon heard over the phone, and the screaming of a lady was also heard, telling Trunks to get back here. Goten laughed.
"That Trunks," He smiled and walked toward his new dance club to wait for his best friend.
----------
Bra, Marron, and Pan sat on Bra's bed, gossiping like they do every Thursday night. Pan and Marron raved on about the new store opening at the mall while Bra listened full ear. They talked and laughed like this every Thursday night, just a night to hear up on news and keep their wonderful friendship together.
Goten and Trunks where in the other room, talking about Goten's plans for his dance club. Trunks gave ideas while Goten passed ideas to Trunks to see if they were good enough.
"What do you think about dance contests?" Goten asked. Trunks nodded.
"Good idea!" He said, "What about wet t-shirt contests?" Trunks eyes grew big with his idea. Goten laughed and shook his head.
"Good old Trunks," Goten said, "Always thinking with his penis." Trunks grinned. The two talked on until they heard a growl. A simultaneous growl. Both saiya-jin stomachs were growling. Both grinned sheepishly.
"Hungry?" Goten asked. Trunks nodded.
"Very," he replied, "Want to go get something to eat?"
"Definitely."
The two took off from Trunks' room and ran down the hall.
They passed Bra's room in a blur. All three girls asked the same question.
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!"
Trunks kept running while Goten skidded to a stop and backed up a few steps.
"We're going to get something to eat," Goten answered, "Want to come?" He grinned. All three girls jumped off the bed and ran passed Goten.
Goten followed suit, running after the three girls.
-----------
All five friends sat at the table of a TGIFridays, playing the usual game of trivia offered. Marron was killing everyone. Trunks was in last. Goten made fun of him for his lack of knowledge.
"So, guys, what's new with you?" Bra asked. Goten and Trunks grinned.
"Well, I just finished that project I told you I was doing, B-chan!" Goten said. Bra's faced brightened up.
"Oo! Tell me what it is, now!" Bra begged.
"Don't worry!" Goten laughed, "We'll take a trip over there when we're done eating."
Bra smiled and Goten grinned. Trunks was still trying to move up in the rankings and Pan and Marron shared answers to try to keep Trunks in last.
In a few minutes, the food finally came. Trunks and Goten downed their plates and daintily wiped their mouths with napkins before patting their stomachs.
"Ahh!" Both male saiyajin let out a satisfied sigh. The three girls sweatdropped.
"So girls," Goten started, "How are you all?"
"I'm good!" Marron answered first.
"Me too!" Pan said, sneaking a look at Trunks, who blushed.
"I could be better," Bra said. Goten raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong, B-chan?" Goten asked.
"Oh it's nothing big," She replied, waving a hand, "Just Jon and I had a fight earlier today. It just made me mad."
Goten's stomach lurched. A new feeling.
What the hell was that? Goten thought to himself, Why did my stomach just turn in a knot? Must be the food.
"What was the fight over?" Goten asked, but then added, "If you don't want to talk about it, that's okay...."
Bra shook her head. "It's fine, Goten, I just don't feel like telling it right now," She said, "I already told Marron and Pan." Pan and Marron nodded.
"All right then," Goten said, "Tell me whenever you feel like it.
The five finished their meals and soon left, after Trunks paid the check.
-----------
The sign glimmered with neon lighting. All three girls gazed in awe at Goten's "project." Bra grinned like she'd never grinned before.
"I can't believe you opened a dance club, Goten!" Bra yelped, "You know how much I love to dance!" She ran and gave him a hug before running up to the door. She peeked inside.
"Wow, Goten, " Pan said, "This is awesome!"
"I agree, Goten!" Marron said. Goten held his hand behind his head and grinned.
"It's not that good..." He replied, embarrassed.
"Yeah it is!" Bra yelled from the door, "Now let's go inside!" Goten gazed at Bra. Without warning, he zoned out. Thinking had taken over his mind, again.
Wow, she looks pretty. Wait! What am I saying? This is B-chan! She's Trunks' sister, for kami's sake. But, why do I get this feeling when I look at her? My stomach feels like jelly and I've got some crazy lightheadedness. Is this from you, B-chan? Is it? If it is, don't make it go away. God, stop Goten. It isn't right. She's like a little sister to you. She's one of your best friends! But she's so beautiful.
Goten was snapped out of his thoughts by four people grabbing him. One for each limb. They carried him to the door, whereupon the key to the club was pulled from his pocket and inserted.
"Hey! Let me go!" Goten yelped, laughing the entire time. The four others laughed, as well, before entering the club.
"Tomorrow is its grand opening, " Goten explained as the three girls roamed around, oo-ing and ahh-ing. Bra was amazed.
"Goten, this is extremely sugoi!" Bra yelled again, running around like a kid in a candy shop, "I can't wait for tomorrow!"
"Oh, that reminds me," Goten said, digging into his pocket. He presented four cards. Sort of like credit cards. Each had a picture of one of the four on it, along with the words "Rhythm V.I.P." He gave one to each.
"These are the passes I made, " Goten said, "Now you can get in without having to deal with the bouncer!" The three girls bounced up and down with joy. Trunks got an odd look from Goten for bouncing up and down with the girls. He grinned.
"Now, we gotta (POWER! ... never mind ) get home before it gets too late." Trunks, Pan, and Marron nodded, then started for the car. Bra stayed behind and took a seat at the bar. Goten raised an eyebrow.
"He thought I was cheating on him..." She said, out of no where.
"I'll be right back, B-chan," Goten said, "Just sit tight for a second." He quickly ran outside for a second, to tell the others to leave without them.
"I'll fly her back, Trunks, " Goten said, "She wants to talk about her fight." Trunks nodded and took the other two girls home.
Goten ran back inside and went behind the bar.
"What will it be, you cute lady?" Goten said, impersonating a bar tender. Bra smiled.
"Mike's, please..." she said. Goten nodded and did some flip moves with the bottle before setting it down in front of Bra. He popped the cap off and she took a sip. He grabbed himself a beer and walked around the bar, taking the seat next to her.
"Why did he think you were cheating on him?" Goten asked, a little irritated at him. Bra shrugged.
"He never said," She replied, "He gets in these funks all the time, accusing me of cheating, accusing me of not loving him, accusing me of everything. It's like he wants to start fights with me."
Goten felts his ki raise a little bit.
"Do you want me to tell you what I feel on the matter, even though it might not be what you want?" Goten asked, taking a sip of his beer. Bra nodded.
"Please, Goten..." She said. Goten set his beer down and folded his arms.
"I think you should forget about him, if he does nothing but cause problems," Goten said. Bra shook her head.
"But I love him, Goten, "She replied, "It will work itself out, won't it?" Goten sighed.
"It might," He said, "But if all he wants to do is make you feel pain by causing fights, then what's the use of love with it? It just nullifies the feelings." Bra took a sip of her Mike's and set it down.
Goten turned to see Bra's reaction, only to find her shedding tears. He moved to her and hugged her tightly.
"B-chan," Goten soothed, "It will be okay if you make the right decision." Bra looked up into Goten's eyes. She could feel his ki rise a bit, but dismissed it, thinking it was the alcohol causing it. Goten smiled down at her and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"Thanks for talking to me, Goten," Bra said, giving him a kiss on the cheek. Goten blushed.
Why am I blushing? he thought.
He turned and looked into Bra's eyes. He zoned out again, but was quickly awoken by Bra smashing the glass bottle of Mike's in her hand. Goten felt her ki rise.
"I hate this pain, Goten," She hugged him again, "I hate it."
"Shh, B-chan," Goten soothed, "I'm here for you if you ever need to talk, you know that. I'll be your shoulder to cry on, like now." He chuckled a bit.
"Arigato, Goten-kun, " She thanked. He then looked at his shirt and noticed drops of blood. He held Bra's hand and felt the warm liquid running around his hand. He turned it over to reveal a nasty gash in her hand. Goten grabbed a bottle of Vodka from the shelf.
"B-chan, this will hurt a bit, " Goten warned, "But the alcohol in the vodka will disinfect the wound. Please bear with the pain, for just a few seconds." Bra nodded and bit her bottom lip. Goten poured.
After a few minutes of stinging pain, Goten dried Bra's hand. He found some bandages and dressed Bra's wound carefully, as not to hurt her anymore than she was already hurting. After it was done, he kissed her hand.
"A kiss to make it feel better," He said, and grinned. Bra hugged him and thanked him. They both stood up and walked toward the door. Goten locked up and stuck the key in his pocket.
"B-chan, tomorrow you'll have fun," Goten said, " I promise." He grinned and Bra smiled back at him. They both took off into the air and headed for Capsule Corp. During the flight, Goten gathered his thoughts.
He better not hurt her in my presence, or there will be hell to pay. Wait, why am I being so protective of B-chan? I don't know, but I feel like I should. I hate it when she hurts, for some reason. I feel her pain. And why did my ki rise when she told me? Am I jealous of Jon? Or am I angry at him for hurting the girl I like? Whoa... I like B-chan? Is that was this feeling is? It's a good feeling...
Goten and Bra landed on the Capsule Corp lawn. Bra gave Goten a quick kiss on the cheek.
"thanks again, Goten-kun," Bra said, "Goodnight."
"Anytime, B-chan," Goten said, "Sweet dreams." Bra smiled and walked inside. Goten felt proud, as if he had just discovered a new source of energy. He stretched before taking off to the sky. Bra watched him go, smiling a little smile.
