Hi! Guess what? Marth isn't Marth's name! He's from Fire Emblem, and his Japanese name is Prince Mars. He's soo cute! Oh, Li wants to say something.

()(',')() *Pant, pant*

Ok, thanks Li!

--------------------

Bra looks around at Marth's neat house. It was more of a temple or palace, actually. He had a cute dog named Li. It growled at her and made her uncomfortable until Marth scolded him. Li licked her hand. Marth had went to retrieve his little brother.

"Wow. Li, this is bigger than my house!"

"That's because my brother's a prince!" Bra looked up to see a little boy with messy red hair staring at her.

"Huh? A prince? Who are you?" Bra looked curious about this little boy.

"I'm Roy. Marth's my big brother. He protects me from the evil that chases us." Roy looked at the ground as if it were a sin to think of what he was saying.

"What evil, Roy? Who's chasing you?" Marth walked in the room.

"There you are, Roy!" Bra smiled, still thinking about what Roy had said.

"Marth, who's chasing you?" Marth froze.

"Bra...It's a long story."

Roy pets Li. "Might as well tell her, Marth. She'll find out sooner or later."

"Alright." Bra stepped towards Marth. Could it really be this bad?

"Bra, there are men after me..."

"Why?"

"They want...they want my father's kingdom. It was called Akanea..."

"What happened to it?" Bra noticed a hint of sadness in his voice. She was pretty sure what had happened, but wanted to make sure.

"Some mysterious people came and destroyed it. Thing was, I had a good shot at beating them. But, I didn't take it. My father tried to stop them, and got himself killed. That was a while ago. The people are still set on killing us. My mother is away now. We left her in a safe area. And I train Roy here. That's it really."

Bra's mouth hung open. It was the opposite of the newspaper article. Marth was trying to protect the rest of his family. Suddenly she felt guilt pullingat her. Maybe she should tell Marth about her secret. Marth had just told his to her. And his was painful.

"Marth...um..."

"Ya Bra?" Marth looked at her and gave her a weak smile.

"Well, you shared that secret with me, so I'll share my secret with you."

"You have a secret?" Marth raised an eyebrow.

"Ya. I don't know where to start..."

"Just say it flat out." Roy looked curious and stood on his toes to be eye level with Bra and Marth.

Bra breathed in. "Alright. Well..." Bra looks at the ceiling. "Maybe I could just show you."

"Alright. What should I do?" Marth pushed Roy down and laughed at Roy's annoyed face.

"Um...I'll punch you. Hold up your hand." Bra felt very unsure. She was probably gonna hurt Marth. Marth obediently held up his hand. Bra punched it with all her strength and mentally kicked herself for doing it.

"Sorry..."

"For what?" Bra opened her eyes and noticed Marth was holding her up by her fist.

"What the...?" Bra was stunned.

"You're very strong, Bra." Marth let go of Bra and Roy looked sad.

"That was it? Man..."

"Be quiet, Roy!" Marth pushed him into the kitchen and returned to Bra.

"I'm amazed. No human has that strength!"

Marth shrugged. "Well, I was prepared. That's all. It's boring here. Wanna go get something to eat?"

Bra nodded and smiled. "My parents wanted me to be with someone strong, and your VERY strong! It's perfect! Why don't we go to my house?"

"Alright. Is it far?"

"No. It's that big yellow building a few blocks away."

"Capsule Corp.?"

"Yep."

"Wow. That's cool. Let's go. Be a good boy, Li." Marth ran out the door and Bra followed.

-----------------

Trunks stared at Goten in disbelief. "Wait a minute. Let me get this straight. Bra called you and said she was gonna go to the dance with this Marth guy. Then you went to Marth's house and attacked him! Goten, have you lost your mind?!"

Goten frowned. "Ya, well, look what he did to my arm! And I swear he thought he was a king with a house like his!"

Trunks leaned against his bed. "Goten attacking people. Never saw that coming."

"Shut up, Trunks. That wimp's going to dance with your sister! Do you even care?"

"Not really. By the looks of your arm, he's pretty strong."

"Ya, whatever." Goten looked out the window and smirked at a little girl skipping happily.

"And you have Marron. So what's the problem of Bra wanting to go with someone?"

"With a human."

Trunks sighed. "Goten, you're impossible."

Goten's mouth dropped. "It's Bra! And that bastard's with her!"

Trunks walked to Goten. "That guy? They look kind cute together." Goten punched him and growled fiercely.

"Ya, well, not in a minute he won't."

------------

Bra opened the door with her key and slipped her hand into Marth's.

"This is Capsule Corp. I'd give you a tour, but I'd get lost."

"That'd be a bad thing?" Marth looked around. "Nice place."

"Well, it's too big for me. But my room's very cool. Wanna see it?"

"Sure. I wonder what girly things I'll be scared of." Bra punched him like she would Trunks, still pleased about Marth's 'powers'. She ran, hand-in- hand, with Marth to her room and dragged him into it. Her room was covered in blue. Everything was blue. Her desk had been recently painted blue and she had a baby blue bed. The walls were white with blue flowers.

"Well? What do you think?" Bra smiled at Marth.

"Safe to say you like blue..."

"I love blue! What's your favorite color?" Bra flopped onto her bed and stared up at Marth, admiring every inch of his body.

"A shade of turquise."

"Cool." Marth sat down next to her on the bed. Bra smirked at him.

"I think I should start your first dance lesson. It's next week, Marth!"

"Eep! Well, alright." He stood up and held out his hand. Bra blushed a little and took it. She got off her blue bed and positioned herself.

"Ok then. It's quite easy to do a formal dance. Just think one, two, three. Ok?"

"Hm...One, two, three. Ok." He smiled at Bra, making Bra feel like a puppet.

"Alright, so then you make a small circle." Bra began to step to the left. "One, take a step, two, take another, and three, your back. It goes kinda like that."

"I feel like a carousel." Marth stuck his tongue out and Bra giggled.

"Mr. Carousel the swordsman."

"Damn right. Prince Mars Carousel the Swordsman."

"Prince Mars?" Bra looked up at Marth.

"Ya. That's my real name, I just thought Marth sounded more teenager." He grinned and swept Bra into his arms. "And ya know what?

"What, Marsy?"

"Bra sounds more like a goddess." Bra laid her head on his shoulder and smiled. They kept dancing until Bra got dizzy.

"Now we can go eat. C'mon Marsy." She walked outside and saw Goten staring at her like a mad man.

Goten's cold voice sent a chill down Bra's spine. "That bastard in there?"

------------------------------------------------

Whew! There you go! Now, what the hell is Goten gonna do? I mean, he's mad at Marth and all. And where'd I put Trunks? I forgot. Now I have to get lost in there to find where I set him. Meany! Oh ya, isn't Marth so cute? I just bought the movie Fire Emblem, so I'll add more plot from that. See ya!
