Chapter eleven: Christmas Time, Christmas Time!
Christmas was coming! It was allready very cold outside and everyone was in their christmas mood. Marron and Bra where kind of nostalgic, because this was the first christmas they would have again in years! They would see all their relatives again whom they have missed so much. While Bulma and #18 where decorating the house, Bra and Marron where outside enjoying the winter landscape, ice skating, throwing snowballs. Trunks was enjoying it too, but Vegeta didn't want to have anything to do with the snow and the christmas spirit. He especially hated the cold weather. When he decided to take a walk in the outside air anyway, he immediately got hit in the face with a snowball. While the snow dripped off his deeply scowled face, laughter was heard behing a big snow-wall made by Marron, Trunks and Bra. Vegeta kicked the snowshelter they made and started yelling "WOULD YOU PATHETIC LITTLE CHILDREN GROW UP ALLREADY!?" He cursed and yelled at the top of his lungs, what made the three 'kids' even more amused. They rolled over the cold ground, laughing like hyena's. Vegeta cursed some more to himself and walked away.

"Hey Bra, by the way, haven't you heard? Tomorrow, some of my mother's family comes over to spend christmas with us. My nephew is coming too, remember him?" Marron said. "Isn't he the little brat who used to shoot at us with waterguns when we where younger?" Bra asked her. "Yeah, but he's not the little brat anymore, he's a bit older than us, 18 or 19 I believe..." Marron replied. "Well, I hope he's cute...I haven't seen cute guys in a long time!!" Bra said and they both laughed again. Trunks smiled with them, although he's not really interested by their girl-talk.

The next day, #18's family arrived. Android #16 with his wife, a redhaired woman with a little child in her arms, allso with red hair. And #18's brother, #17, with his son, who was a spitting image of his father, the only difference where his bright green eyes, allmost reflecting light, while his father's where icy blue. His name was Sev, after his father ofcourse. Bra immediately noticed him and was caught staring by Marron. She nudged her and Bra got out of her trance and shook her head lightly. She started to smile nervously. Vegeta had noticed 'His woman' staring at this boy too, and he felt angry and dissapointed at the same time. He pushed his feelings away and remained silent. At dinner, Bra was constantly looking over to where Sev was sitting, and Sev was doing the same thing. Marron was all excited. "Ooh when Bra and Sev get together we'll be REAL family! I hope they like eachother alot, they're such a cute couple...." She smiled to herself. "Wipe that grin off your face Marron, you're making me lose my appetite." Vegeta pointed out irritated. He was sitting on the opposite of Marron and saw very well what was going on between Bra and Sev. Marron just gave him a glare and continued eating.

After dinner they all went outside, and to everyone's suprise, Vegeta joined them, allthough he HATED snow. They where all ice skating on the big pond in their garden, except for Vegeta who was sitting on one of the benches that surrounded the pond. While she was ice skating, Bra sprained her ankle and allso sat on a little bench surrounding to the pond. Sev sat next to her. "Are you allright?" he asked her in a sweet voice. "Yeah, I'm fine...it doesn't hurt that much." Bra said. "So you can still walk?" He asked. "Yeah no problem." Bra said, a little blush crossing her face. "Well...do you want to go for a walk then?" Sev asked her. "yea sure, I'm just gonna get my shoes, I'll be right back." Bra walked inside to get her shoes and they went for a walk in the little park next to the Brief's garden. When they where in the park, away from where everyone could see them, Sev couldn't keep his hands off her, and Bra didn't like it. "Hey take it easy ok?!" Bra said, a bit angry. "Ah come on you weren't so shy at dinner!" Sev said. "Well, you're going a bit too fast ok? I hardly know you!" Bra told him. "Well then get to know me." He said with an evil smile and pushed her against a tree. Bra struggled to get loose, but that didn't work. Sev held her tighter and forced his lips onto hers. Bra got so angry she lifted her knee right in his 'snowballs'. Sev moaned angrily as he backed up and looked at her angrily. "You little bitch!" He yelled and raised his hand. Bra ducked away just in time to avoid his hand hitting her, his hand was now hitting the tree and once again he cursed in pain. Bra tried to run away but her ankle began hurting alot now. She just hopped away a bit clumsy and finally made it to the pond where everyone was having fun.
Trunks and Marron where ice skating together, allthough Trunks sucked at it...Marron held his hands and they where hugging and kissing and ice skating at the same time. Bra just sat on another bench and took a closer look at her ankle, which was now swollen and pounding like hell. She put her foot in the snow to cool it and stop the swelling. Vegeta came up to her. "What are you doing woman!" He said. "I sprained my ankle and now it hurts..." She told him. Vegeta sighed. "Well, go inside then." He said. you help me with that?" She asked him with a little smile, hiding her pain. Vegeta sighed some more, picked her up and carried her in. Radditz immediately stood up. "What are you doing to my daughter?!" He demanded. "It's ok dad, Vegeta's helping me inside because I sprained my ankle." Bra said as Vegeta put her on the sofa. "oh...well...fine.." Radditz said and sat down again. Bulma went to get the first aid kit and helped Bra with her ankle. Then Sev came in, holding his crotch and looking painfull. "What happened to you son?" #17 asked. "Err...I slipped and hurt myself dad..." Sev told him. "I'm going straight to bed." He added, and went upstairs to the guests bedroom. Bra couldn't help laughing a little and Vegeta looked at her with a questioning look on his face.
