Sorry this took so long to get up, but I'm not terribly inspired.

Marron was searching through the fairly small forested area. Nomokai couldn't have gotten much further than that. After all, he was injured and probably not as fast as Bra, who Marron could hear about 20 yards away. "Hmm," She thought, "This isn't worth it, its so boring!" She decided to climb up one of the trees for a look from above before giving up. As Marron got higher and higher, she saw Bra more clearly walking quickly in one direction. It wasn't that the girl needed the money, it was just that she hated losing. Marron had picked a particularly high tree, and once at the top, she could see the house behind her, almost all of the forest, and even the field beyond. There, she saw two spots, most likely people. She squinted hard, and was able to make out an orange dot and a green one. "Ohhhhhhh." Marron thought. "Pan, you little sneak! But I'll catch you later." She smiled to herself and then decided to go catch Bra before she found the two others. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Goten was still perched on the deck when both girls returned...alone. Not that he was complaining, but he was suspicious about Nomokai's whereabouts. "Um, I think you two forgot something." "Oh no, it was no mistake either." Marron responded and lifted herself onto the railing next to Goten. "Or so you claim," Bra reminded her. "Really Marron, why'd you drag me back here?" "Because Bra someone else was interested in Nomokai at the moment and I think she should be allowed to take priority." "Huh? What are you talking about Marron? The only other girls around are Starista, who's with Trunks and..." Goten smiled suddenly, "Pan." "Aaaaaaawwww! That's so cute!" Bra cooed. "She was all worried about him before he woke up, then she found him this morning and now she's all hooked up! Isn't that sweet?" "No! It sucks! She was smart enough to get him first! I'M JEALOUS!" "Well I didn't want to say it aloud but as long as we're being honest.ME TOO!" Goten turned away from them looking huffy. "What is so SPECTACULAR about this guy! I don't understand why you three girls care so much about him." "Oh come ON Goten," Bra answered, "Tell me that when you see Princess it doesn't brighten your day." She pointed to where Starista stood leaning against a tree chatting with Trunks. Goten smiled a little and turned red. He was about to say something to Bra, when he noticed Marron. She was next to him and looking down, saddened even, then her expression turned to a frown and she stated quite flatly. "They're both novelties right now. She's no more impressive than any other woman, she's just new." Then Marron jumped down and excused herself, claiming she had to speak with her mother. "What was that about?" Goten asked. "Isn't it obvious Goten," Bra answered, "The green monster just reared its ugly head." "Whadaya mean?" "She's jealous you dork!" He still seemed bewildered. "Goten, Marron is jealous of Starista because you paid attention to her and seemed thrilled by her appearance only. You see Nomokai as a threat, she sees Starista as a threat. Neither one of you have many reasons for the hostility towards the newcomers. So I think you're protective of each other. Now I'm gonna go ask mom about plans for dinner." And she walked off slowly. "Hey Bra, does that mean she likes me?!?!?!" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "Well let's see," Pan began. "Gohan is my dad and is way protective, so that's not too spiffy. But my mom seems to understand that I need my space and is good about holding my dad back. They both love to fight, because of their heritage. My mom grew up under a father who was proclaimed world champion, and of course my dad's half saiyan." She furrowed her brow. "I have a love for fighting just like all the other saiyan people, but I just don't have the pure blood they do." "So?" She looked him straight in the eyes and kind of smiled. He had beautiful green eyes "So.I'm glad someone thinks that way." She leaned back and supported herself with her arms. "Then there's Uncle Goten, who's more of a friend than an uncle cuz we're so close in age. And Bra and Marron and I are all close, Goten and Trunks usually hang out with us. So you can join us whenever." Pan thought a moment, "I guess that girl's entitled to as well." "Starista." Nomokai smiled "Huh?" "Starista.." "Oh yeah, whatever." "You two certainly seem to have made up your minds quickly." Pan's eyes flashed at this remark. "Well what do you expect? I decided to save your asses and the first thing she does is insult me!" She stuck her nose in the air and looked up at the clouds. "What do you mean you 'decided' to?" "Well, I um.." Pan blushed slightly. "I asked Bulma to bring you two here. She had to suggest it to everyone because no one would have trusted me. Nobody was really in favor of it anyways, you weren't exactly safe." "What?" "Well obviously you wouldn't remember. You charged Trunks." "I didn't hit him did I?" He looked surprised. "Oh no, no he was fine. I uh, stopped you. I didn't mean to hurt you." "Oh its fine Pan, that's what any good fighter would have done." He smiled at her. (AN: Yeah yeah I know it's getting way corny, but..TOO BAD! MWAHAHAHA!) "I didn't say anything else, did I?" "Actually yeah you did. Something about a star and an angel, you were babbling, but it was obviously about Starista. You said Star was her nickname right?" Now it was Nomokai's turn to blush. "Yeah, that's was what I was thinking about so it makes sense." He didn't want to admit he had thought he was dead and seeing an angel. It must have been Pan looming over him. It had been raining after all, he must have glimpsed her when lightening flashed behind her. He looked over at her again still red, and not knowing it. "What?" Pan asked. "What do you mean?" "You're blushing at something!" She smiled. "I don't know what you're talking about." He only blushed more and looked up at the blue. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The day passed quickly and no one seemed interested in lunch, but Bulma had planned for a dinner for everyone so that Starista and Nomokai could explain themselves. Of course Vegeta would be a key character that night as well. Bulma passed into the kitchen where she found Chichi, 18, and Videl. The clock read 5:00 and so she sat with the other women. "Alright ladies, I definitely want to have dinner for everyone here tonite, but have you seen any of the 'young ones' lately?" "Well hours ago I know Goten, Bra and my daughter were on the deck, and then they split up." 18 answered "Hmmm, I saw Bra and Marron come inside after that and Goten took a walk in the woods." Chichi continued. "And I think Pan, Nomokai, Trunks and Starista were all in the woods as well." Bulma concluded. "So everyone's accounted for. Vegeta is in the gravity machine and Gohan and Goku ..." She looked at Chichi. "They'll show up for dinner, don't worry. I think Krillin was with them too." 18 nodded in agreement "Ok then, what should we make?" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * In the meantime, Bar sat in her room lying on her bed looking at the ceiling. It wasn't fair. What was wrong with her? She was a smart, athletic, good looking girl, she considered herself to be a nice person, but all of a sudden, she was the 'odd man out'. When she was growing up, Bra had been friends with Pan, she was only two years older and the next oldest was Marron, who was 2 years older than Bra. Marron and Goten had been friends because only a two year gap separated them. But when everyone was getting to be 12 and older, Bra was the shining star and caught Goten's eye. They had become very close and then Marron seemed to get quieter and quieter. As Bra's beauty developed and her people skills bloomed, along with her strength, Marron developed a very dry, sarcastic sense of humor, and her brain became her weapon. And once everybody was out of high school, Goten was more laid back then ever and was very comfortable with both his childhood friends. It had been getting more and more apparent that Goten and Marron were settling into their old friendship, but Bra kept her interest in Goten as well. But now it seemed Goten and Marron were more than just friends. But maybe didn't know it yet. Bra sighed. But she still liked Goten..as more than a friend. And just when she thought relief had been brought- by Nomokai- Pan stole him from under her! "Damn she's good!" Bra said aloud. Why was Goten no longer interested in her? What did she do? And why was Pan so special? What was Bra not doing? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ".and Pan's the youngest in the group, but she radiates more power than even me sometimes." Trunks had originally asked Starista about her life, but she had turned it around to him, claiming she would explain herself at dinner for everyone. He had since given her an idea of what his life was currently like, training, school, work, family time, friends. She seemed quite engrossed in what he had to say, and Trunks couldn't help but smile at this. He liked her attitude and the pride she radiated. Nor was she hard to look at. "I didn't mean to upset her." As if she had read his mind. "That's not for you to tell me, you should tell her." She cringed slightly at the expression. "Well I would but it would be rather degrading seeing as I'm a.." She cut herself off, and noticed the look on Trunks's face. "Is that really the way it works around here?" "Uh, yeah, they're called manners." He looked away, but out of the corner of his eye saw her blush a little. "Well, it doesn't seem proper!" She stuck her nose in the air, but before Trunks could retaliate, Bulma was heard calling from the house that dinner was ready. "Here we go." Starista sighed, and she began to walk towards the house.

Yeah that was a whole lotta nothing, bunch of fluff, not very good, mind elsewhere...2 NEW FICS TO COME!
