A/N: *Shifty eyes* It seems that Matt is catching on to that last story thing…I'm not very good at being discreet ^_^()

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Still in the middle of that same night…

"C'mon Mar, we'd better get to sleep. We got skiing in the morning and I'll need rest if I'm gonna keep up with Brad and the Super Saiyans." Remy said, as she lay back down. As they tried to drift off to sleep, they heard the window opening.

"Remy, I think someone's trying to break in." Marron said, scared.

"Don't worry, it's probably one of the boys. Videl-san made sure that they think the door is locked." Remy said. Marron looked at the window and saw a slightly tall figure jump in and close the window. She then looked over to Videl, who has also noticed. Videl picked up a baseball bat and crept slowly over to him.

"Oh, this is not going to be pretty." Marron said, looking through clasped fingers.

BANG!! Elsewhere…

"Val, how come I've never seen you at school before?" Trunks asked.

"Well, no offence Trunks but you're really jumpy all the time so if a girl comes near you, you kinda flee." Valerie said, kind of embarrassed. Trunks laughed nervously.

"Yeah, well…" Trunks said. Suddenly, there was a loud scream from the East Wing. "I wonder what that is." Trunks, Valerie and soon everyone in the West Wing came running to the origin of the scream.

"What the heck happened?" Gohan asked, half asleep. He looked down and saw Goten unconscious on the floor and Videl with a baseball hat in hand. Videl laughed sheepishly.

"I thought someone was breaking in." Videl said. "Turns out it was just your lovesick brother."

"We're lucky. Goten has an extremely hard head." Gohan said, as he ushered the boys to go back. Alex looked to Trunks and then to Valerie and then raised his eyebrow. He wrote something on a piece of paper, made it into an aeroplane and threw it to Remy.

"What does it say?" Marron asked.

"It says 'I can't believe Trunks is with a girl, and a pretty one at that. Be sure to document this in the signs of the apocalypse dossier that we've been keeping. Oh, and tell that chick sleeping next to you that I think she's hot'." Remy proceeded to giggle hysterically. "Oh, I'm never gonna get to sleep now."

"How can Juliana sleep through this?" Trisha said, marvelled at the sleeping genius.

"She can practically sleep through anything. She once slept through an earthquake." Goten said.

"I thought you were supposed to be unconscious?" Videl asked.

"I am, don't bother me." Goten replied. Videl picked him by his collar and tossed him out of the room.

Later that day, on the slopes…

"Okay. We're pretty much going to leave you to your own devices. You are all old enough to know what you can and can't do." Gohan explained. The kids all looked behind him, as if telling him to look as well. He turned round and saw Videl skiing like a pro and yelling 'wooooooooo!!' whilst doing so. "And while I pray that my wife doesn't cause an avalanche, I'll be observing you."

"But…"

"No! I will be observing. There are a few things I just do not do and ski is one of them." Gohan said. "Not after last time." The kids sweat-dropped and proceeded to get on with their various activities.

"C'mon guys, I'll race you down the mountain!" Brad said to Goten and Trunks. However, both boys were preoccupied with their girls. Brad sighed. Alex tugged on Remy's sleeve and pointed to the two couples and made a crying motion.

"Don't worry Alex, I'm sure that you'll find a girl someday." Remy said, patting his shoulder.

"If Trunks can, then anyone can." Brad laughed. "C'mon! Someone race with me! I'm so bored."

"I'll do it." Marron said.

"Are you sure Mar? I mean, you're just a kid and…" Brad tried to say.

"Let's go sucka!" Marron said, putting on her goggles.

"Oh it's on now!" Brad said, as he put on his goggles. They were prepped in position and waited for someone to count them down. "Now?"

"Oh right. Go!" Juliana said. They both raced down the side of the mountain. "Remy you should've joined them. The exercise would have done you good!"

"I swear, if you weren't wearing glasses…and I wasn't in so much padding…" Remy muttered, shaking her fist. Then she looked over and started laughing ominously. "You are so busted!" Juliana looked around and paled.

"What the hell are Danny and Mike doing here?!" Juliana squeaked. "Hide me!"

"I'm sorry, what? My fatness has reduced my hearing! You're gonna have to speak up a bit." Remy said. Juliana fumed. "Oh and Alex said, in response to your question, they probably came along on the school skiing trip Jules."

"Tak, hide me!" Juliana said, running behind Lil Tak. He just sighed.

"This is not going to be pretty." Lil Tak sighed. Both Danny and Mike walked up to him.

"Yamamoto, have you seen Jules?" Mike asked. "This bonehead thinks that she's his girl!"

"This bonehead has a name jackass!" Danny retorted. "Tak, where is Jules?"

"Now see, this is going to be very interesting because Tak can't like to save his life." Remy said, snickering. "Oh look, our two Casanovas have stopped playing tonsil tennis long enough to observe the Trojan War starting up again."

"That's a very bad historical reference Remy." Trunks said. "It's totally inaccurate."

"Forgive me, my sources are usually more pictures than words." Remy smiled.

"Well?" Mike asked.

"Um, you see, I think she said something about going to the bathroom." Tak stammered.

"Bathroom?" They both said, disbelievingly.

"Yep. I think she had that time of the month thing." Tak said.

"Bad move numero uno." Goten snickered.

"Look, you'd better tell us where she is or else we're gonna…" Before Danny could finish his threat, loud yelling could be heard throughout the mountains.

"I WON FAIR AND SQUARE!"

"NUH UH! DO OVEEEEEER!"

RUMBLE

"And that would be the avalanche that's gonna crush us all." Trunks sighed.

Later…

"It's a good thing Gohan was there to chi blast the snow." Goten said. "I can't believe no one saw him."

"I can't believe Marron beat me." Brad pouted.

"I can't believe Juliana did not get caught! Whatever happened to karma?" Remy whined.

"Gee, you're not bitter at all!" Trunks said sarcastically. She stuck her tongue out at him. The kids were all in the lounge of the lodge and drinking hot chocolate. Juliana was running around the lodge trying to avoid both Danny and Mike and was thus far successful. Juliana ran into the lounge out of breath.

"This is exhausting." Juliana whined.

"Really? I thought you'd be a pro at running around, since you've been giving my two buds the run around." Brad said, sipping on hot chocolate. Alex quickly scribbled something down and gave it to Goten, who after reading laughed loudly.

"Alex, you should've written for Frasier." Goten said, wiping a tear away.

"Get off my case Brad." Juliana sighed. Brad just rolled his eyes. "Hey I didn't plan things this way you know. It just happened!"

"And somehow after all this time they still have no clue whatsoever." Trunks said, shaking his head in mocking fashion. "It's like your dating that quarterback guy from Daria."

"Kevin."

"Thanks Mar."

"Jules! There you are!" Danny called out, with Mike in tow. Juliana froze.

"Like a deer caught in headlights, Juliana has been busted harder than a pimple on my brother's forehead." Remy quipped, sipping her hot drink while smirking.

"Not to pry, but your sarcastic comments aren't really helping her. Don't you guys think you're being a bit mean?" Valerie asked.

"No." Trunks, Goten, Remy and Brad said. Marron just stayed quiet and Alex wrote a big fat NO on a piece of paper.

"We're not really this heartless, it's just fun to poke at our friends when they've fallen off the moral high ground." Trunks reassured Valerie.

"And I've been without my strawberry liquorish for too long and I'm feeling damn cranky." Remy said.

"Tell this guy that you're my girl." Danny said. Juliana just laughed nervously.

"Well, I was dating you first…"

"See!"

"But I'm kinda seeing Mike as well."

"Aha! Told you Daniel!"

"I approximate three seconds before the shit hits the fan…3,2,1!" Lil Tak said.

"You son of a bitch!" Danny and Mike said to each other.

"You stole my girl!" Danny yelled.

"No, she came willingly to me! Guess you weren't giving her what she wanted!" Mike yelled. Danny responded to this by punching Mike square in the jaw.

"Where's Mills Lane when you need him?" Marron sighed. Danny and Mike pounced on each other and proceeded to beat the living daylights out of each other.

"Fifty on Danny." Goten said, as Alex wrote down any and all bets on the fight. Juliana slowly crept away but Remy stood in her way, wagging her finger.

"Sorry, you're gonna have to face up to this Jules." Remy said.

"Why are you doing this to me?" Juliana asked.

"Because no one else has the guts to."

"Look, if it's about the fat jokes…"

"It's in spite of the fat jokes. These two guys do actually like you. If they didn't they wouldn't be pounding on each other like they are."

"I do like them you know. I'm not as shallow as I seem."

"You don't have to prove that to me Queen C, they need to know that. You gotta stop stringing them along. Pick one or none at all."

"But that's so mean! Can't you do it for me?" Juliana asked. Remy nearly face-faulted.

"NO! Geez, you need to do this yourself!" Remy said. "You've already broken one heart anyway, one more shouldn't be too difficult."

"Don't…"

"He's the one who really cares about you." Remy said, looking over to Lil Tak. "He's also the idiot trying to break up the fight…correction, he's now a part of it."

"Queen C?"

"Did you not watch TV as a kid, AT ALL?" Remy asked.

"I was too preoccupied with my studies."

"Whatever happened to that then?"

"I'm smart enough now to not worry about it that much."

"Okay, it's time for us to get in there." Trunks said, as he and Goten pulled Danny and Mike apart.

"C'mon guys, settle down." Goten said. Danny and Mike looked at each other with dangerous hate. Goten rolled his eyes. "Okay, newsflash. You guys are jocks right?"

"Right."

"And due to the laws of social stature, which Alex will probably change when he becomes sole emperor of the world, you can get any chick you want right?"

"Right."

"Think about that."

"…Oh yah!" They both said, as they shook hands. "Sorry man."

"So, does this mean you're both dumping me?" Juliana asked.

"Yeah." They both said sadly.

"Ah well, better you than me." Juliana smiled, as everyone face-faulted.

That night…

"Well, if it isn't the face that launched a thousand fists?" Goten chuckled, as Juliana came and sat down.

"See, that was better than yours." Trunks said to Remy.

"Trunks, if you don't want my foot up your ass I suggest you stay quiet." Brad said, as Remy hugged him.

"Isn't he so cute?" Remy gushed. The others sweat-dropped.

"Things sure have changed since we were that age." Gohan sighed, as he put his arm around his wife.

"Not really if you think about it." Videl said, looking at them. "It's just a newer version of how we were."

"Examples?" Gohan said.

"There's always love unrequited, pining for someone you can't have and the occasional mishap where there's a big fight and a Son is there to stop it. Or start it when his girlfriend is involved."

"You're getting worse than Nick, you know that?" Gohan laughed. "It's kind of a blessing that they didn't come."

"Yeah."

"OHMIGOSH!" A random student yelled. "MR SON! ALEX HAD A DREAM ABOUT YOU!"

"Suddenly, I'm very concerned." Gohan said, walking over to the kids. Alex was blushing from embarrassment as he handed Goten a note.

"He says nothing like that you sickos. He had a dream that was basically Ocean's 11 with people he knew in it. He says that since you're the oldest guy he knows besides his dad, that you played that Ruben guy." Goten said, and then started to chuckle. Gohan walked away, shaking his head.

"I take that back, Nick did come and he has possessed that poor kid." Gohan said.

"Hey Remy?" Marron said.

"Yeah?"

"Do you think that Trunks and that girl will last?"

"Remy not one who knows the future petit, only time will tell."

"I hate that saying."

"Okay then, if you ice her then they definitely won't stay together."

"Remy!"

"Look hon, you're fifteen years old. You still got a lot of guys out there with your name on them."

"I guess you're right."

"I'm getting more cocoa." Goten said, getting up. Trunks followed suit.

"Hey Goten, I've been meaning to talk to you." Trunks said.

"Sure, what's up Trunks?"

"Has something happened between you and Paresu? I mean, it's like you're giving her all this attention because you've done something wrong." Trunks said. "Or you're extremely horny." Goten sighed heavily.

"I don't know how but you always seem to be able to read me." Goten said. "I have done something terrible. I mean, I know it's terrible but I don't feel any remorse about it but that makes me feel guilty for not feeling guilty."

"Okay, for me to stay with you on this I'm gonna need to know what happened Goten."

"I cheated on Paresu."

Elsewhere…

"Beautiful, isn't it? The way that the moonlight shines on the snow." Juliana sighed. She and Lil Tak were looking out the window of the cabin.

"Yeah." Lil Tak said. "It takes a beautiful person to recognise beauty." Lil Tak smiled at the blushing Juliana.

"It's funny. Remy was saying that I broke your heart. That you had feelings for me."

"She's insightful, I'll give the girl that much." Lil Tak said. "You didn't break my heart."

"Oh good."

"But I do have feelings for you J." Lil Tak said, looking at her fondly. Juliana looked shocked and froze, not knowing what to say. Lil Tak took this opportunity to bend down and kiss her. He pulled back and smiled at her. She was going to say something but he hushed her. "Ssh…let's just look at the snow." She nodded and snuggled up to him and he put his arm around her.

"What the heck did you say to him Remy?" Brad asked.

"I said 'get off your lazy ass or I'm gonna lock the both of you on the bus'. Needless to say, I got the job done." Remy said. "Unfortunately, I think I was too menacing as I banked on him doing it tomorrow. So now I owe Trunks fifty."

Back in the kitchen…

"You did what?!" Trunks asked.

"I know, my bad."

"You're right, your bad! Who was the girl?"

"Promise you won't freak out."

"Okay."

"It was CJ."

"Oh my God, there go my legs. I am in need of a chair and a cold compress." Trunks said, as he sat down. "When?"

"I went to visit her on her birthday. We got to talking and I gave her the present."

"Which was?"

"A silver bracelet with her initials on it. She laughed cos I didn't know what else to put on it and I said it was because I didn't know her name and she said how much she missed me. And I said I missed her too. I don't know how we got so close but the next thing I know, we were kissing."

"Nani…you and…her…kiss?"

"Not a kiss. Kisses. Plural. We were making out like goodness knows what and then she pulled back saying it wasn't right because I love Paresu and she's just getting to know her new boyfriend, who is such a great guy it's frickin killing me. I know she's right, and I know that we shouldn't have but Trunks there was something there. Something I've never felt before. I don't know what to do."

"Kisses? Plural? Boyfriend? Oh my…too much to intake."

"Trunks, what do I do?"

"Personally, I think it was just seeing her again made you feel all these things that resembled something. I know how much you care for Paresu, I've seen the way you look at her. CJ is hundreds of miles away leading a different life. As much as I care about both of you, I think for now you're best off apart."

"For now?"

"She still needs to grow up a bit Goten. Give her time to mature and if you still think you may have something then by all means go for it. But don't give up on something you do have for something that you may have."

"Been reading Remy's comics again haven't you?"

"They so parallel real life, it's unbelievable."

To Be Continued…

K, the good news is I got this fic out. Woo! Bad news is, there's not a lot left until the end. So be prepared for a lotta heartbreak, fisty fisty and for Alex's voice to be back with a vengeance. Oh yeah, I got a complaint that I did not describe Brad's look enough and that I didn't describe Alex's look at all. So, with my humble apology…

-Brad: 5'11. Brown eyes and dark brown hair. Fairly muscular. Very deep voice (not Vin Diesel style though). Considered very good looking. Irish.

-Alex: 5'7. Dark blue hair and dark blue eyes. Normal build, on the skinny side. Considered cute. Japanese. Can imitate almost any voice.
