Chapter 4

Fainting Cases

"Think they'll come back soon?" Marron asked, pushing her sunglasses on top of her forehead, peering over at Uub.

"Unlikely.." Uub was cut off suddenly by a strong gust of wind and shortly after, Goten landing on the ground with Bra curled up in his arms, her head tucked into his shoulder.

"Well, that's an interesting sight. Is this kind of scene normal to you two or is there something wrong with Bra?" Marron asked, sitting up on her yellow and pink striped beach chair.

Goten's face faltered, his mind going into a temporary panic, trying to think of what he should tell them without revealing anything about Trunks and Pan.

"Well..um..she saw this harmless little lizard and fainted..." Goten's voice trailed off, waiting to see if they'd buy the story.

Marron's face scrunched up.

"The poor girl. The nasty little thing probably caught her by surprise. It didn't land on her shoulder did it?" Marron continued on, getting up and trying to get a peek of Bra's face, "That's what one of them did to me! I was just walking along minding my own business when one falls from a tree and landed on me! I about died.."

Goten nodded vigorously. "Yeah, that's what must've happened."

Uub, on the other hand, was too smart for his own good.

While Marron had her head turned, Uub winked slyly at Goten, seemingly saying that he knew what was going on somehow. "You'd be good at forensic science, Marron. Ever thought about majoring in that when you go to college this summer?"

Marron turned around quickly, a sheepish smile on her face. "You really think so, Goten? It sounds really interesting..." Marron looped her arm in Uub's and began walking down the beach with him. Uub smiled down at Marron, continuing their little chat.

Goten sweatdropped, seeing Uub look over his shoulder and giving him a thumb's up as he led the blonde down the beach.

Marron seeing him turn back, nearly caught Uub giving Goten the a-ok. Luckily, she brushed it off, just thinking they were waving at each other. "Don't forget about the party Goten!"

"I won't! See you guys later then!" Goten called after the two.

Apparently Marron had said the magic words.

"PARTY?!!" Bra zapped up, face full of alarm, looking at a tiny clear and blue waterproof watch around her wrist, "Oh noo! I only have four hours to get ready now!" Jumping out of his arms, Bra booked it across the beach, running up the small grass hill leading to the cabins, jumping over a three-foot stump in the process.

Goten got an idea. "HEY BRA! Ever thought about joining the track team? You'd be great!.."

O.o...

Pan noted their closeness, trying to scoot away but finding it impossible to move.

"Trunks..WHAT is going on?" Pan blurted out, trying to make her voice sound strong but it came out weak and hardly audible.

Trunks's eye widened, backing away from Pan, realization hitting him slightly.

"Well Pan, you see, this is going to sound really strange but.." His words fell away at the sight of Pan's expression. "I think I might..I mean, just a little.."

And then Pan fainted.

Trunks's head fell. "Just when I was about to tell her. I think it's just a little crush right now. At least it's nothing big." Then he smiled. "Wait a second! This works out pretty good! It was nothing big and now we don't have to go through that awkwardness."

Picking Pan up from the ground, Trunks flew off, trying to get his senses back by reassuring himself.

Well there's the 4th Chapter! I hope everyone enjoyed it and again, please remember to review!^^

Note: I went over and edited some of this. Sorry for it being shorter, and to those who liked Goten's shoulder angels–I might bring them back later in the story.
