Chapter Three: The right costume

Trunks wrinkled his nose in disgust at all the food, streamers and decorations going around. When his mother threw a party, she was very determined to make it the best party of the yeah. "Ah perk up Trunks, who knows maybe that gorgeous girl will be there tonight." Trunks made a fake smile then turned it back into a frown. "So what are you going as? I'm going as a pirate!" "I'm going as a president of a billion-dollar company who hates his job and wishes his life made sense." "Oh cool who is that, Bill Gates?" Trunks sweat dropped and shook his head. "Never mind, I don't know who or what I'm going as but I'll look through all that old junk in mom's closet and find something."

~Later that day at Ryanna's house~

"How do I look mum?" Marron dressed herself in a plastic mini skirt and tank top, with leopard ears and a tail. Ryanna mumbled something about looking like a prostitute. Lucky for her only Krillen heard making him grin. "You look incredible Marron. Trunks Vegeta-Briefs won't be able to keep his hands off of you." Marron smirked. Her mother had dressed as a gypsy while Krillen dressed as a lion tamer. Ryanna smiled politely. "All of you look splendid." Eighteen turned to her and frowned. "Thank-you but this doesn't mean you're going. I am strict in my decision. You will stay here and when we get back we will tell you all about it."

Ryanna smiled sadly and nodded. "I understand stepmother. I am sure there will be another time." Eighteen smirked and reached for hers and Marron's coats. "I expect this place to stay tidy until we get back." Ryanna nodded and as the two blonde airheads went out the door Krillen stalled and looked to Ryanna. Ryanna crouched down and hugged him. "Don't worry about me Krillen, I will be okay." "I know, stay strong champ." He placed his top hat on his head and waved goodbye. After the car took off Ryanna went to the kitchen. She got out a piece of pumpkin pie and walked up to her room. One bite of her pie and she couldn't eat anymore. She collapsed on her bed, a few tears escaped from her eyes and she snuggled into her blankets. "I wanna go to the ball." ~SWISH~ "Ouch!" Ryanna fell off her bed in surprise as her best friend appeared out of no where. "Holy Dende' Pan, what are you trying to do give me a heart attack?"

Pan grinned stupidly and trued to stand up in her big gown. Ryanna cocked an eyebrow. She was dressed as some sort of fairy with a big blue gown, wings and a crown on her head. "Don't ask about the costume, my mom made me wear it." Ryanna sighed, letting her eyebrow rest. "So I guess you're going to the party too?" Pan nodded. "Not without you though." "I can't, Eighteen said I have to stay here, plus I don't have a costume." Pan smirked and straightened her crown. "Who says Eighteen has to know? And as for the costume that's where knowing the Briefs comes in handy. Bra Briefs and I are gonna make you the bell of the ball without Eighteen knowing you even left home." "But how am I going to get there? It's not like I can turn my pumpkin pie into a carriage and go there princess style." Pan winked. "Grandpa Goku taught me instant transmission." Ryanna instantly perked up. "So that's how you appeared out of no where." "Yep, beats taking the subway. Are you ready?" Ryanna nodded and grabbed Pan's hand. The two disappeared.

Trunks yawned and bowed to the princess like person. She giggled and took his hand. Trunks had dressed as the phantom of the opera. He wore a white mask that covered the right side of his face stunning royal like clothes {white shirt and black pants}, and a black cape. He turned his head to see his parents that were dressed as a king and queen {WELL DUH!} He rolled his eyes and dismissed the one girl. The next girl came up to him dressed as a Flamenco dancer and grinned slyly. 'Dende help me!'

~SWISH~ Pan and Ryanna landed in Bra Briefs' room. Bra and Goten jump apart: Goten dressed in his pirate suit and Bra in a green mermaid like gown. "About time you guys got here." Pan grinned and pointed to Ryanna. "Bra, Goten, this is Ryanna. Ryanna this is Bra, and my uncle Goten." Ryanna bowed politely and said hello. "hello, hello, okay down to work, we can't have you TOO fashionably late." Bra pulled out lots o costumes and make-up and began her work. In the meantime Marron was getting impatient. I WANT TO DANCE WITH HIM NOW! I SHOULD HAVE GONE FIRST AND SAVED EVERYONE A GREAT DEAL OF TIME!" "Be patient Honey, as they say save the best for last."

Marron hmphed and looked to Trunks who was at his wits end. "And I was like girl you need to snag your man back from that bitch and of course I being so popular elped her by spreading rumors..." 'Damn does this girl ever shut up?' He pulled the girl with him in the dance and whispered to the conductor. "Max, make the music go faster." A fast tempo cha-cha played and more girls went by fast. Upstairs Bra had finished with Ryanna's costume. She was similar to Trunks; She wore a white half faced mask, a black spaghetti strapped, tango like dress. a black cape and heeled boots that went to her thighs. Her make up was light, but illuminated her face, and her hair was pinned up nicely in curls. "I AM a genius if I do say so myself." "I have to admit Bra you work magic!" Bra smirked and looked to the clock. "Uh-oh we better get moving."

Faster and faster the music went until Bulma finally made them slow down. "That is cheating Trunks." Trunks groaned but was relieved there was only one girl left. "Hi, I'm Marron." Trunks took one look at her outfit and was instantly disgusted. "Yeah I know, we've met before, at the mall remember." "So you're the cutie my step-sister was talking to. Wow what a splendid surprise." "Yeah, and in speaking of your sister where is she?" Marron bit her lip and thought of an excuse. "Oh she decided not to come. She hates parties. "So do I, my mom made me do this. in fact I think your sister and I have a lot in common. She tells me she's lived a sheltered life. Always being told what to do and crap." Marron frowned. He seemed to be more attached to her step-sister who wasn't eve there, then to her who was standing right in front of him. Suddenly the music stopped and everyone's attention turned to the new center of attention. Trunks looked up the staircase and gaped at what he saw.
