Disclaimer: I don't own it!
I know I know…I've been bad…I said I'd update and I haven't…I'm really sorry about that. I can't explain what's going on b/c frankly I don't know myself…but here's an update and again, I appoligize for the wait. Thanks for sticking around though.
C-E-F-Y
Last time on Now and Then!…"Guys! We kinda have a crisis here!" Bra yelled.
"You handled it very well Bra." Goten remarked still dancing.
Bra punched Goten in the face.
"OW! What the hell was that for?" He asked.
"I don't know but you handled it very well." Bra mocked walking away.
Marron just laughed.
"Thanks for the support." Goten said with a frown.
Now and Then!…Marron finally stopped laughing.
"What's wrong with her?" Goten asked sitting on the ground holding his face.
Marron sat down and hugged Goten.
"Are you ok? I didn't mean to laugh." Marron appoligized.
"Yeah." Goten said sadly.
"C'mon, let's get out of here. It looks like our parents are gone again." Marron said after looking around.
"Goten was still leaning on her chest sighing every now and then.
"Goten?" Marron asked looking down.
Goten wrapped his arms around her and continued to nuzzle her.
"Goten!" Marron said standing up.
She tried not to smile but ended up laughing again.
"Come on." She said helping him up.
Goten just laughed.
Bra brought Brian outside.
"I'm sorry I doubted you." He said.
"It's no problem." Bra said.
"So, you want to spend the rest of the afternoon together?" Brian asked.
Bra had almost forgotten about her parents when she was about to say yes.
"Su…I can't!" She said.
"Oh…" Brian said.
"No, I'm having sort of a family crisis…I'll see you later though." Bra said hopefully.
Brian smiled.
"Sure." He said giving her a kiss and leaving with his friends.
Bra went back inside and noticed her parents were gone and the other's were dancing.
"GUYS!" She yelled.
"Oops." Trunks said.
While Bra was talking to Brian Bulma whispered to Vegeta.
"C'mon. Let's get out of here." She suggested.
Vegeta nodded and they walked out the back door. Everyone else seeemed to notice them leave and they left also.
"Bulma wait!" Chi-Chi called.
She turned to see Chi-Chi running up to her.
"Hey. Let's hang out. What should we do?" Bulma asked.
"Let's play pool." All the guys suggested with a nod.
The girl shrugged and they walked to a pool hall.
Once there Vegeta stared at the table.
"What's the point of this?" He asked confusedly.
"To get all the balls in the pockets." Krillin said grabbing a stick.
"Why don't you watch and learn." Bulma suggested.
Vegeta nodded and stepped back.
Goku grinned as he grabbed a stick also.
"Don't hit 'em too hard Goku. You'll break the table." Tien pointed out.
Goku nodded sheepishly.
"I'll play." #18 said grabbing a stick.
Krillin smiled.
#18 winked at Bulma and Bulma tried to pay close attention to what #18 was doing.
#18 stood next to Krillin and pretended to look confused.
"So, how exactly do I hold this thing?" She asked.
Krillin looked at her and saw her confused expression.
"Here." Krillin said.
He took the stick and stood behind #18. He wrapped his arms around her and held on to both ends of the poolstick. #18 put her hands on it as well and leaned over to line up the stick. Krillin began to blush at their sudden closeness. Krillin had to move closer to her to keep a hold on the stick also so the color in his face changed to a darker red. Krillin put his head over #18's shoulder closest to the table and show her where to aim. #18 just smiled as she saw his blush.
"Alright, now hold your fingers like this." Krillin said showing #18 how to do it and trying to keep his mind off of their position.
#18 did the complete opposite of what was shown and Krillin just smiled taking her hand and moving it into the correct position.
"Oh." #18 said as though she had just learned.
Krillin took that same hand and helped her glide the stick through her fingers. Which made both of them blush slightly.
"I think you got it." Krillin said about to back up.
"Wait." #18 began, holding his hand.
"What do I do with this hand?" #18 asked not wanting him to go.
Krillin went back to being right up against her and put her hand on the back of the stick.
"Let's try hitting a few balls first then I'll let go k?" He asked with another bright red blush.
#18 nodded. She and Krillin aimed and tried to hit a ball. By now Bulma was laughing at her friend as she kept finding new ways to be close to Krillin.
She looked at Tien and Launch who were standing near the jukebox looking at the music and laughing. Chi-Chi was sighing over Goku as he just grinned at her. Bulma's eyes moved to Vegeta's who was staring at her until she looked then he began to be interested in the pool game.
Bulma smirked and walked up to him.
"Hey." She said.
"What…woman?" Vegeta asked looking back at her.
"Wanna play yet?" She asked.
Vegeta was surprised.
"S-sure." He said taken off guard.
He was sure Bulma had saw him staring at her and had come over to rub it in his face but instead she wanted to play pool? It just didn't make sense but he wasn't going to argue.
Bulma set them up and looked at Vegeta.
"You want to break?" She asked.
Vegeta gave her a questioning look.
Bulma smiled.
"Here." She said leading Vegeta over to the end of the table.
She lined him up and then he hit the balls getting two solids in. He looked at Bulma as she smiled.
"Good. Now you're solids. So, you hit in anymore solids you can." Bulma said.
Hours passed playing pool and everyone was having a really good time. Well, almost everyone…Bra and the others were still looking for their parents.
"Where are they?" Bra said frustrated after looking in a million places.
"At the pool hall." Goten said while eating an icecream.
Bra stopped walking abrubtly. They were now at the mall looking for their parents.
"What?" She asked turning around.
"They're at the pool hall." Goten repeated.
"You mean to tell me, we've spent the last three hours searching for our parents and you knew where they were the whole time?" Bra asked amazed.
"You didn't ask…" Goten trailed off as Bra glared at him.
She stormed off and Marron glared at Goten too. Goten looked down and found his shoes quite interesting for the moment.
"You're in deep…" Trunks trailed off as Goten turned to glare at him.
"Don't even say it Trunks."
