Riaya steps into the house after Bulma and stops to take in the appearance of the house. Kitane, who is mentally distracted, bumps into Riaya from behind knocking her forward. Riaya catches her balance and turns to glare at her friend.

"Ne, watch where you're going, K-chan, you nearly knocked me over!"

Kitane steps into the house, brushes a few strands of hair from her face and crosses her arms. "Well, you shouldn't have stopped in the doorway, baka." She smiles and rubs Riaya's head, messing up her hair.

"I hate it when you do that!" She winks to her friend and they both smile at each other.

"I bet you two would like to get cleaned up, ne? Well, I'll show you to your rooms and you can take a bath and change clothes. I'm sure you'll feel much better afterwards." She flashes a motherly grin at the two of them. As they follow her down what seems to be an endless maze of hallways and past an equally confusing amount of rooms, she stops in front of two doors.

"These are the only two rooms that are presentable at the moment. Our rooms are right down there." The girls look at the end of the hallway and see four more doors.

"There is a bathroom down the hall there, second door on your right, You'll find extra towels on the shelf in there. I'll go see if I can find some other clothes for you to wear while we clean those up." She turns and heads off down the same way they came.

Riaya and Kitane look from their clothes to each other. "I guess we have gotten a little dirty." Riaya holds her braid; "Yeah and my hair could use a good washing." They both head toward the bathroom giggling to each other.

"I think we should let them rest and then talk to then in the morning."

"Yeah, I guess so . but we are activating the security system. I don't want them to try anything. Everyone else might trust them, but I still have my doubts."

Bulma takes a sip of her coffee while Vejita sits across from her with his chin resting in his palm and a disgusted look on his face.

"Are you still pouting over being hit?" Bulma has always been able to read him, sometime too easily. Vejita humphs and sits back in the chair, crossing his arms trying to look as regal as possible. Bulma smiles, she isn't intimidated by him at all.

Bulma looks up as Chi-Chi steps into the kitchen. "Well, we've had enough fun for this evening. I think we will go home and sort this out tomorrow." She looks around and sees only Gohan and Goku standing outside. "Have you seen Goten?"

Bulma smiles, "He's probably with Trunks. I think they're in his room."

With wide eyes and an envious look on his face, Goten frowns at Trunks. "So they're staying here? Man, you are SO lucky! You better not try anything!"

Trunks plays innocent, "Me? Yeah right . I .."

"Don't give me that! Girls fall over you at school, you just look at them and they practically fall into your arms!"

With a surprised look, Trunks points out that the same is true of Goten. Both boys look away from each other and sulk for a while. A knocking on the door breaks them from pouting.

"Trunks-kun? Is Goten in there with you?" Chi-Chi's voice pleasantly calls through the closed door.

"Hai." Trunks gets up and opens the door.

"It's time to go home Goten. You can come back tomorrow." Goten could tell by the look in his mothers face and the tone of her voice that she didn't want to hear anything other than compliance.

"Hai. Oyasumi!" With a quick wave he was out the door with Chi-Chi bowing to Trunks before closing the door. Trunks turned and sat down on his bed. With a sigh, he let himself fall onto his back on the soft mattress. His mind was reeling from the events that had taken place that night. How wondered if he was ever going to have a 'normal' life. Grinning to himself, he decided that it wasn't likely . considering his lineage and all.
