It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Six teens, four of them part saiyans, lay together on the Brief's private beach, a couple miles away from civilization. They were each on their respective towels, some trying to tan, some other just talking and enjoy themselves. The sun was

shining, the sky was cloud-free, and all seemed right with their universe.

Suddenly, an ebony haired girl sat up. "That's enough resting time," she exclaimed, turning around to face the other five. "Who wants to go back into the water?"

The question was met with excited cries from everyone,

and they all stood up and raced each other to the water's edge. Once there, they stood and dared each other to take the first step into the slightly chilly water. It resulted in a violet-haired boy being shoved in, and they all followed him after that. They stayed swimming and

splashing around in the water all day, until the sun slowly lowered into the horizon and the sky began darkening.

They had crawled out of the water and wrapped themselves in their towels, talking and laughing. This sort of thing never got old to them.

Someone had started a fire, and they all sat around it, roasting marshmallows and telling stories.

Bra, Marron, Pan, Goten, Uub, and Trunks. They had known each other for their wholes lives, and were rarely seen without each other. As they sat together looking up at the stars, they realized that life could not get anymore

perfect. Just the six of them, altogether, with only the occasional enemy attacking earth for them to worry about.

The next morning Marron was reported dead.
