Hello people, Lily here. It would seem that I'm on a bit of a 'writing roll' if you will. Or maybe the lack of sleep is getting to me, ne? We'll never know, and I'm sure you don't want to, as long as I keep giving you fresh chapters right?

So anyway, enjoy. And I still don't own the DBZ characters, I only own my army of clones. Enjoy and review please?

The Hunt For The BlackStar Dragonballs

Chapter Four: " This Is All YOUR Fault! "

"I can't believe this! First the baka nearly kills us when he crashes the ship, *NOW* he looses the damn thing! You're sooo gonna get it when I tell Mom, Trunks!" Bra cried, crossing her arms and glaring at her brother.

"What?! How is this MY fault?!" Trunks shot back.

"It's ALWAYS your fault!" Bra cried.

"ENOUGH! Both of you." Goku interupted, frowning as he looked at the two.

"Dad's right. Arguing isn't going to get us our ship back." Goten added.

"Precisely. But following these tracks might." Pan said, several feet away from them.

Everyone turned to look at the black haired teenger in surprise.

"How did you-" Trunks began.

"Forget about it right now. We'd better get going before a sandstorm covers up these tracks." Pan said, rising into the air and following the set of indented tracks in the sand. With a sigh, Trunks and the others lifted off into the air after them.

"Hey look! Those dirty thieves! First they try to take all our money, and now they try to take our ship!" Bra said angrily as she spotted a small caravan of aliens dragging their spaceship several minutes later.

"Keep it down. We don't want them to know we're-" Trunks began.

"HEY! YOU DIRTY ROTTEN THIEVING BAKA'S! GIVE US BACK OUR DAMNED SHIP!"Bra shouted, flying towards the ship and the aliens dragging the ship away.

"Or that works too." Goten murmered, scratching the back of his head, before he and the others flew out to join Bra.

"Get her!" One of the aliens cried, and Bra barely had enough time to dodge the barage of bullets sent her way. With an outraged cry, she sent a half-power ki blast at one of the gauntling-type of guns, completely obliterating it.

"How dare you shoot at a Lady!" Bra cried, blasting another gun.

Trunks and Goten sweatdropped, but didn't dare to comment, and instead turned Super Saiyan, and helped take care of the rest of the aliens and their weapons.

"Well this is all fun and dandy, but what am I supposed to do?" Pan asked, crossing her arms while she hovered above everyone in the air.

"You *could* give us a hand, Panny." Bra said as Pan scowled at her.

"I was GOING to, Bra, but you guys got them all already!" Pan shot back as Bra looked around with a soft laugh.

"Guess you're right." Bra retorted, before flying down to the ground, beside her brother and Goten, as Trunks carefully looked over the ship.

"It's ok. I'll have to fix it here, this ship isn't going anywhere any other way. Unless, you all want to help me drag it outta here, that is." Trunks said with a smirk.

"Knock it off, smart ass. Just fix the damn thing so we can get going already!" Bra said, crossing her arms impatiently.

"Whatever you say, PRINCESS." Trunks said sarcastically, turning his back to begin the repairs on the ship as Goten held back a murderous Bra.

"Let me go, Goten! I swear, the Royal Saiyan line will end with me!" Bra cried as Goten, Goku, and Pan sweatdropped, Trunks just shaking his head at his sister, but didn't turn around.

"So, how long do you think it's gonna take you, Trunks?" Pan asked as Trunks shook his head.

"Don't know. An hour, three hours, three days. Can't really tell." Trunks said.

"Three days! There's no way on Kami's green Earth that I'm going to stick around this.......this.........*PLANET* for three days!" Bra cried.

"What do you expect? We're far from your regular luxery accomodation, Princess. So you'll have to make due." Trunks said as Bra's anger rose again.

"Damn it Goten, let me go! LET ME GO!" Bra cried as Goten sweatdropped.

"Anyway, so what are we supposed to do while Trunks is fixing the ship?" Pan asked.

"Why don't we go back into town?" Goku suggested.

"What for? Haven't they gotten enough money from us?" Bra asked.

"We'll just have to be careful. We should at least see why they wanted our ship in the first place. And why they charge such outrageous prices." Goku said.

"That's really none of our business though, Grandpa Goku." Pan said.

"Nonsense. Of course it is. All those poor people having to pay such ridiculous prices for their food and other supplies? Besides, I sensed a really high ki coming from the city earlier." Goku began.

"So naturally, you want to check it out? Of course." Pan said, shaking her head.

"I don't think that's such a bad idea either. I mean, we can either sit here, waiting for Trunks to fix the ship that he broke-" Bra began.

"HEY!"

"OR we can go exploring. I vote for exploring." Bra said.

"Or shopping as it translates for Bra." Trunks replied.

"Oh shut up, boxer boy! Don't you have a ship to repair?" Bra asked as the lavandar haired young man scowled at her, and was about to retort when Pan interupted him.

"It's ok. Look, Uncle Goten, Bra, and Grandpa Goku can head into town to check out that strange power, and I'll stay and try to help Trunks, ok?" Pan suggested.

"How can you help anyhow?" Trunks asked as Pan scowled at him.

"Excuse me? Did you forget my Dad is the smartest being on Earth, next you your mother of course?" Pan asked as Trunks sighed deeply.

"Ok, ok, you can stay and help. Sheesh. Females." Trunks muttered, sliding back under the ship as Pan glared at his feet, before stomping up and kicking his shoes hard.

A loud CLUNK was heard, along with Trunks' muttered curse, before he pushed back out into the sun to glare at the girl, rubbing his forehead.

"What the hell was that for?" Trunks asked.

"Nevermind." Pan said with a sweet smile, as Trunks eyed her cautiously, before sliding back under the ship.

Goten sighed as he started to walk away, before looking over his shoulder at his father and Bra.

"Are you guys coming?" Goten asked. Goku and Bra nodded, and soon the three were on their way back to the city.
