Disclaimer: I own nothing except for Rei.

"You got into a fight?!" Yamcha exclaimed.

"They were annoying." Rei replied simply.

"Couldn't you just have ignored them?" Yamcha sighed.

"Tried. Then they started talking bad about Goten. Can have that."

"But you got into a fight!"

"Uhh..sorry." Rei replied doing a puppy dog pout.

Yamcha smiled. There was no way he could stay mad at Rei. She was his little angel.

"Can I go to band practice? Pwease????"

"Okay. Be back by dinner."

"Spanks!" Rei replied hugging her father. ((Instead of thanks, I say spanks. :P))

Band practice took place in her friend Lauren's garage. The band was called PInk Sugar. Rei was lead singer, Lauren played the drums, and Carley was the guitar. And of course, Marron was the fashion designer. She made sure that they wore alot of pink if they performed somewhere. Sometimes they would do gigs at the local coffee house on Saturday nights.

Later

Marron decided to come home with Rei after band practice.

"Want some ice cream?" Rei asked.

"Yeah. Thanks."

"Strawberry or Chocolate?"

"Hmm...Strawberry."

"Figures." Rei said laughing. "You like anything that's pink!"

"Oh yeah? Well what about you?"

"Chocolate for me." Rei stated.

After putting the ice cream away, Rei and Marron went up to Rei's room to study. But of course, if you can't put two girls in a room together and expect them to study. They'll gossip.

"So..I can't believe you got into a fight!" Marron said.

"And I had to leave school for the rest of the day."

"Ya know, Goten was really disappointed that you couldn't join him for lunch."

"I couldn't help it. Those boys started making fun of Goten."

"Yeah...Ya know..I think Goten really really likes you."

"You really think so?"

"I know so. You two would look really cute together."

"Hmm.."

Rei hadn't told anyone she liked Goten except for Marron.

"You should ask him out. The Sadie Hawkins dance is this friday. Girls ask guys."

"Oh? Then who are you going to ask?"

"I dunno."

"Hm...You and Trunks."

"Uhhh No."

"Why not. You two would totally look cute!"

"Sorry. Trunks isn't my type."

"Then who would you take?"

"Ryan..Total hottie."

"I'll call Goten and ask him if you call Ryan." Rei dared.

"Kay." Marron said taking out her cell phone. It was, of course, pink.

Marron dialed Ryan's number.

"Hi! This is Marron."

"Hi Mar."

"So, I wondering, what are you doing this friday?"

"Well, I was going to go to the dance, but no one has asked me..."

"How would you feel if someone asked you? Someone like me?"

"Really?"

"Uh-huh."

"Awesome! I"ll pick you up at 7."

"Kay. Bye!"

Marron smiled.

"You got the date?!"

"Uh-Huh!"

"Cool! Now my turn." Rei said nervously.

"Hello?" Goten's voice could be heard on the other end of the phone.

"Hi Goten! This is Rei!"

"Hey! Where were you at lunch today?"

"I kinda sorta got into a fight on the way to your brothers room. I had to go home for the rest of the day. I'm really really sorry..."

"It's okay." Goten's voice sounded disappointed.

"So I was wondering, if you're not busy or anything..do you wanna go to the Sadie Hawkins dance with me?"

"Um...Look...I like don't really do dances..."

"That's okay. We can go do something else. We don't have to go to the dance."

"Well, I've kinda got this thing friday. Sorry."

Rei could tell he was lying.

"Listen, if you don't like me, then just say so."

"It's not that I don't like you, it's just that I think of you more as a friend."

"We could go to the dance or do something together as friends ya know."

"Sorry."

"Look, I gotta go."

"Bye." Rei said and then hung up.

Then Rei let it all out. She had really ben hoping that Goten would go to the dance with her. Tears stung her eyes.

"It's okay..." Marron comforted.

Rei still cried.

"Look," Marron whispered. "How bout we skip school tomorrow. Have a girls day out. We can just have fun all day."

"What if we get caught?" Rei asked. She couldn't believe it. Rei was the one usually suggesting that they skip school and Marron was the one who wasn't sure.

"We won't."

"Okay...I guess."

"We can both pretend to be sick."

"I'm good at that."

"Well, I better head home!" Marron said looking at her watch.

Tomorrow Morning

"Rei! It's already 7:30! Why are you still in bed??"

"coughcough I don't feel good at "

Yamcha looked at her in disbelief.

"Can you try to go to school?"

"But daaaaadyyyy!" Rei 'groaned.'

Yamcha went to get the thermometer.

"Leave this in your mouth." Yamcha said and left the room for a minute to get ready for work.

While her father was out, Rei took the thermometer out of her mouth and heated it with her ki.

"Hmm..."Yamcha said studying the thermometer. "101 degrees. Fine. You can stay home, but I have to go to work. And I'll be back about 5. Can you stay by yourself?"

Rei nodded.

"No TV. Just sleep." Yamcha smiled.

"Okay daddy."

At Marron's House

"I don't believe her." Krillin said after hearing that his daughter was 'sick.'

18 went up to Marron's room to get the story straight.

"Okay, kiddo. Why do you not want to go to school. You are not sick."

"Well..You see..Rei and I...we need a break..we were going to skip." Marron said quietly.

"Okay. Get up. Get dressed. You can call Rei and tell her that she can come over her as soon as her father leaves. What are you two planning to do anyway?"

"You're going to let us skip!?"

"As long as Yamcha doesn't find out."

"Oh! Thank you!" Marron said hugging her mother.

Marron skipped downstairs and grabbed the phone.

"Hey Rei!"

"Hi."

"My mom says you can come over here as soon as your dads gone to work! She's going to let us skip!"

"Awesome! See ya in a minute!"

Krillin almost fell over.

"You're going to let them skip school!?!?" he yelled.

"What can I say? School sucks."
