The morning was full with the thoughts of the night before. Vegeta had awakened and was slowly recomercening the little incident that had rudely traumatized his entire career as a father.

He got up quickly and dressed hastily, ignoring the irritated grunts from the annoyed, half awake Bulma and Trunks. He ran speedily towards the van, and tapped hard on the window. The window developed a little crack, and at the same time, a pissed off Bura faced the tense prince.

Vegeta sneered, "just wanted to see if you weren't bonding with nature."

Bura's face twisted in disgust. She strode out the SUV and faced him.

"Daddy, I'm sorry about what had happened last night, but I dunno what I really did wrong. So now that's cleared, I am going to get changed, and then I'm going swimming with-" she stopped to think, "Trunks."

Vegeta blinked, and nodded.

"She takes me for a fool", he muttered as he walked away towards the stretching Trunks.

"Good morning dad." Trunks said as he got up from his thigh stretches and faced Vegeta.

"Son, if you are going swimming with Bura, I am ordering you to keep an eye out for that mongrel, Goten." Vegeta demanded. "Aw, dad! Don't worry, I can trust my best friend!" Trunks protested.

Vegeta scoffed, walked away and then gave him a sideways look. Trunks shrugged, and called over a sleepy Goten who was rubbing the sleep from his eyes: "hey, Goten! You're coming swimming with us, right?"

Goten looked up and grinned, "yeah!" Trunks threw back his head and laughed, while Goten rushed by his side. The 2 boys felt young again as they headed to the beach's incoming waves.

Goten and Trunks threw off their shirts and ran into the water in their jeans. They splashed eachother and laughed. Bura, in her little pink tankini walked daintly into the sand.

"Hey, Trunks! Hi, Goten!" She cried out. Trunks and Goten turned around, Trunks grinned at his beautiful baby sister and Goten blushed quickly.

"She's so hot", Goten whispered to Trunks, Trunks nudged him hard in the ribs and chuckled.

"Come on in, sis'!" Trunks invited.

Bura placed her hands on her hips defiantly, "not while you yucky poo-poo heads are in there!" She replied, smiling.

Trunks ran towards her and picked her up, he laughed as Bura playfully pounded his chest. He ran to the lapping waves and threw the shrieking Bura in.

A loud splash brought full attention of the other campers in the water. 2 teenage boys about her age stood from a distance, they had no muscles, unlike the 2 half Saiyans.

The 2 boys were pointing and winking at her. Bura hardly even noticed them. She regained her dignity and stood up, the water dripping from her delicate hair.

"Oohhhh, I am going to kill you, Trunks!" She cried as she splashed him. Goten chuckled as he watched the laughing Trunks grab onto Bura's splashing leg, making her lose her balance, which led to the second undignified fall.



"Aw, sis'! You've got my hair all wet!" Trunks complained as he swiped an arm across his face and ran his hands through his hair. "I'll be right back. I'm gonna go dry off and help with the barbecue." He finished as he ran out onto the welcoming warm sand.



Goten nodded and suddenly began to splash Bura. She shrieked with laughter and splashed him back. She then decided to pounce him. As she nailed the smiling the Goten into the brink between the sea and land, he kissed her gently and softly on the nose.

She giggled and kept him down by holding his shoulders. He arose and grabbed her waist. He then got up and it was Bura's turn to be nailed into the soft sand.

"Gotcha", he whispered. Bura laughed and gazed at his black eyes.

"Kiss me", she ordered playfully. Goten laughed and leaned towards her.

Suddenly, the 2 shrimpy boys (the same ones that were lusting after her before) pulled Goten off and helped Bura up.

"Hey!" Goten protested, "what do you think you're doing?!"

"You were trying to hurt her!" The blond spat back.

"Yeah, weren't you?" The brunette inquired.

Goten rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, "no, in fact, she is my girlfriend!" He cleared.

The 2 boys blushed, rose quickly and walked slowly away.

The blond turned his head and apologized: "hey, I'm sorry. It's just that we never see such a pretty girl like you around here. And I guess we got a little excited."

Goten looked at him coldly and wrapped an arm around the giggling Bura.

"Thanks anyway, boys! Come see me anytime you want!" She shouted in reply. Goten gritted his teeth and put a fixed smile on his face. Bura glanced at the worried look on Goten's face and she snuggled closer into his arms.

"Aw, don't worry, Gottie! I still wuv you!" She whispered, giggling.

Goten blushed, and he quickly helped Bura stand up and kissed the top of her blue hair. The sudden similarity of this event struck a strange and yearning feeling in Bura's heart.

She let him hold her longer and tighter, in the middle of the beach. Bypassers smiled and remembered their lovers from when they too were young.



Goten kissed her forehead and made his way to her neck. She smiled and grasped his hair gently with her fingers.

"Oh, Bura", he said between kisses, "I love you". Bura grinned, "me too."

"Hey, Bura!" Trunks cried out as he spotted the 2 in a passionate scene. "Dad's coming!!!" He warned.

Bura gasped and pulled away gently. Goten groaned in disappointment, and he ran his hands through his hair.

"I better go," he told her, "see you later, perhaps in the moonlight?"

She laughed, "no, daddy might find out." He grinned sheepishly, "too bad, you look so beautiful in the moon's gaze."

She pushed him playfully closer to the sand and blew a kiss to him,"Go on, moon lover." He winked and ran towards shore.



She sighed and got out too, as she was coming out, she saw her mother, Chichi and Videl in their swimsuits, waving to her.

"How's the water, Bura?" Videl asked.

"Oh, not bad", Bura replied honestly. Chichi chuckled and nudged Bulma.

The 3 women exchanged knowing looks of the incident that had occurred between Bura and Goten.

Bura blushed and got out of the water, "I'm getting a little cold, though", she explained. The 3 women waved goodbye to her and began their gossiping.



Vegeta glared at his daughter as she got out of the change room.

"Thank Namek that we're leaving in 2 days!" He muttered. He had seen what had happened a little while ago, but he decided not to say anything to anyone. He watched Bura go around collecting the food around the table, including the chicken and steak that Gohan and Trunks had barbecued.

She ate like a lady, unlike her brother and father, Vegeta noted.



After she was done, she spotted her dad sitting on a log, resting back with his eyes closed.

She creeped up to him and grabbed his shoulders, "BOO!" She chirped.

Vegeta opened his eyes, irritated and surprised.

"Aren't you going to eat, daddy?" She pressed.

Vegeta looked at her angel-like face and growled, "no, I refuse to eat any of Kakarott's sons' food." Bura's face fell, she pouted slightly and walked away.



Vegeta sneered and got up, he saw Bulma and the other women in the water, he decided to join them. He walked up to Bulma, removed his shirt, but was then stopped in his tracks by Goku: "hey, Vegeta! Come help us here with the tent, it collapsed a bit last night!"

Vegeta looked back and glared at Goku. He grabbed his shirt and pulled it over his well muscled chest.

"Coming, Kakarott!" He screamed back. For some reason today, he felt very cooperative and happy. He was even tempted to smile.

"It must be the bad water here", he muttered to himself.



Goku blinked and showed the annoyed Vegeta the problem.



Bura walked along the shore of the beach and spotted a willow tree. She ran to it and rested on it. She closed her eyes and let the sounds of the singing waves engulf her as she dozed off.



Goten saw the sleeping Bura, he tiptoed towards her and gazed at her. He gently touched her lips, remembering the sweet kisses they had exchanged so many times before. He then leaned down and kissed her cheek. She moved a bit, and then settled back. Goten smiled and walked away as quietly as he could.

He glanced back quickly and thought he saw Vegeta watching him from the campsite.



Vegeta sneered as he saw the slightly alarmed Goten rush away. "Stupid boy", he cursed under his breath.



Bura shifted her arm, and in doing so, led to a quick fall into the water.

"Ugh!" She cried as she quickly got up.

"Oh, yuck!" She complained as she spat the salt water out at the same time.



She then heard loud laughter and turned to see an over happy camper: Trunks. She couldn't help but to grin. Trunks got up from his tanning and pulled his shirt over his muscular chest. He ran towards her and offered her a hand.

"Here you go, you klutz!" He jousted.

"Thanks", she replied, grabbing onto his hand. He pulled her up and laughed again.



"Oh, now I have to change again!" She whined. Trunks grinned, ran over to a bench and grabbed a towel for her. He threw it in her direction; she caught it expertly. She chuckled and wiped her face with it. As she brought the towel down, she saw Goten's concerned face gazing at her from a distance.



He blushed and turned away quickly. Bura wished that this day would never end..
