* Arena's name is pronounced: uh-RAY-nuh

Chichi greeted them outside, "What took you so long Goku? Usually you're back sooner than this..." She caught sight of a long furry tail behind her husband. "Goku! What did you bring back this time? I know you don't have a tail anymore, especially since that one is so bushy." She stuck her hands on her hips and glared sternly at him.

Goku laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head, "Well, you see Chichi, that's kind of a long story-"

Brenna peeked from behind Goku to stare curiously at Chichi. "Who's that?" She whispered to Gohan, pointing at Chichi.

"That's my mom." Gohan replied.

"She's noisy.. Why doesn't she have a tail like you??" Brenna whispered again.

Gohan looked at her, "Oh, that's because she isn't a Saiyajin."

"A Saiyajin?"

"WHAT?! Goku, you can't keep bringing home strays!" Both children stared at Chichi as she began yelling at Goku again. Goku tried vainly to calm his wife down.

"Hey, what's all the yelling about and what's this about 'strays'?" A sleepy voice from the house said. A young girl stepped out. She looked around and spied Gohan.

"Hey Gohan!" She smiled brightly and walked over, "Who's your friend?"

"Hi Arena, this is Brenna." Gohan said. Brenna's tail tip began to twitch slightly.

Arena stuck out her hand, "Hi! My name is Arena." Brenna looked at her hand quizzically and Arena dropped it hesitantly, "..Um, okay..." She looked down and then back at her, "Did your people all get killed, too?

Brenna's tail stopped twitching for a moment, "No, my ship crashed here and I've been stuck ever since."

In the background, the kids heard Goku finally placate Chichi somewhat. They watched her cross her arms and look away determinedly, "Fine. She can stay, but this is absolutely the last person we can add to the house. We barely have enough room for Arena as it is."

"Thanks Chichi!" Goku gave her a small kiss on the cheek and went inside with the fish.

Gohan and Arena turned to Brenna, "Looks like you'll be living with us now." Gohan replied.

Arena grinned, "This'll be fun!"
