"Dragonball AS: SCU Saga"

Chapter 58- "Nightlife: Part 1"

By- Tiny

Bikini strolled into the apartment with Lin in tow at about five thirty that afternoon, grumbling something about stupid school and how she was gonna blow the whole place to pieces. Lin thought it was funny how much her sister hated going to school, since the younger Saiya-jin loved it. She figured that she must've gotten it from her father or grandmother, but wasn't about to tell her big sister that.

Trunks was sitting down at the table in the kitchen when the two strolled in, a slight scowl on his face as he looked over a stack of papers. The now middle-aged Saiya-jin didn't look much like he had as a young man, his features slightly more hardened than they used to be and his eyes sharper. Even the son of Vegeta's hair was different, as he had cut it short and spiked it up on his head much like a Super Saiya-jin's hairstyle and his goatee now looked a lot like his grandfather's.

"We're home Dad, in case you hadn't noticed," Bikini giggled, "What's with the sour face and all the papers?"

"Your grandmother sent these over, something about a new spaceship that she's working on with Kathy," Trunks responded, sipping his coffee, "I have to sign all the approval documents before she can do a test run."

"Oh, I see," Bikini mused, "Then that means that you must've run into Grandpa while you were getting the papers, huh? Is that what the scowling is about?"

"Not that it's your business, but yes I ran into Vegeta," Trunks grunted, "He was in a bad mood and wouldn't even acknowledge that I was in the same room he was."

"Well, at least we know that Grandpa hasn't changed much!" Lin giggled, "He's still as grumpy and anti-social as ever."

"If you only knew, kiddo," Trunks smiled, "By the way Lin, Roshi's daughter called over here a few minutes ago and said the two of you were going shopping this evening?"

"Yeah, that's right," Lin nodded, "But don't worry, Aunt Bra is coming with us and bringing Aimee along for the ride."

"That should be interesting," Marron butted in, "Your cousin Aimee doesn't much like shopping!"

"That's because she's a tomboy!" Lin huffed, "Just like Pan!"

Trunks couldn't help but snicker a little bit as his daughter put her nose up in the air and flared her nostrils, reminding him ever so much of his sister. There were times he wondered if Bra and him had had their babies switched at birth, but knew otherwise since Lin was two years older than Aimee. Still, it seemed like it at times like these...

"You have plans for tonight Bikini?" Marron inquired, "You and Shell almost always go out on the first night after school starts up. Or is that tradition outdated?"

"Oh no, we're going out a little later tonight," Bikini smiled, "We're also bringing a new kid with us named Lee. He's Chautzu's kid, ya know."

No sooner did that final sentence leave Bikini's mouth then Trunks spit out the coffee he had been drinking clean across the room and Marron immediately dropped the book she was reading. Both parent's were dumbfounded at the rather unexpected development, as could easily be told by their facial expressions, which amused Bikini to no ends.

"Chautzu has a kid!?!" Marron gasped, "When? How? Wha....I need to lie down..."

"Well, you do that Mom," Bikini smiled, turning to walk out of the room, "I'll be upstairs changing if you need me for anything."

Marron was still looking like she had seen a ghost when Bikini disappeared into her room, closing the door behind her with a loud thud. Trunks, on the other hand, just smiled at the news, secretly plotting embarrassing scenarios in his head.

"Oh, Chautzu is gonna hate me for this," Trunks smirked, "I think it's time we pulled a prank on the little mime..."

"Awe, c'mon Goshin!" Goshin's older cousin, Goken, encouraged, "I'm telling you, you'll have a great time tonight!"

"I don't know Goken, I've never been to a club before," Goshin sighed, "Maybe I should just wait a few more years..."

"But all of our friends are gonna be there!" Goken whined, "How can you pass that opportunity up?"

"Easy, I just don't go," Goshin grumbled, "Besides, Mom doesn't want me to go out clubbing until the wee hours of the morning."

Goken growled at the younger man, his frustration about to reach the boiling point as he tried to coax Goshin into going with them to the club. Goken was dressed up himself in an orange unbuttoned shirt with a white one underneath, the symbol of the Kame School embroidered on the back. The older man was about to just give up on the whole thing and leave, when a brilliant idea popped into his head and a smirk spread over his face.

"Bikini is going to be there."

"Are you sure about that?" Goshin asked, his eyes perking up, "Cause if your not, then don't lie to me!"

"Her and Shell are there every year on the first night of the school year," Goken grinned, "It's sort of like an old group tradition."

"Since you put it that way, then of course I'll be there!" Goshin beamed, taking the bait, "Just give me a minute or so to get dressed."

"Will do, but make it fast," Goken smirked, "Medon'll be here in about ten minutes to pick us up!"

Goshin nodded as he closed the door to his room, sorting through his closet before finally coming across his favorite outfit. Throwing on the red, long-sleeved shirt and black undershirt, not bothering to change his pants, Goshin took a quick look at his hair and bolted out the door so fast it fell off the hinges.

"Oops!" the Saiya-jin gulped, "I'll have to deal with that later..."

The local university hangout was always the downtown dance club and bar, known simply as "The Pub", and it was most vibrant on the first night. By the time Medon arrived with Goshin and Goken, the place was already packed with local students and the campus security. Still, that's not who any of them were hoping to see...

"Alright guys, you have fun and I'll meet you back out here at eleven or so," Medon smirked, "I have to meet Pandora at the bar, so see ya!"

Goken and Goshin just shook their heads as their cousin bolted through the doors, his white shirt waving behind him as he did so. Pandora, an exchange student from Greece, was Medon's girlfriend of the last four years or so, and from the way the two acted around each other you would swear they were already mated or something. Still, neither of the young men cared much as they went about looking for their own kind of fun.

Goshin had wandered away from his older cousins in need of a little space, trying to avoid Goken's shameless flirting with the women around him. He was so busy walking around the bar that he never saw the person he bumped into, at least not until they stood up and stared him down.

That person happened to be Bikini, just the one he was looking for. The Saiya-jin woman had changed from her school clothes into a baby blue spaghetti-strap shirt with mesh overcoat, plus a miniskirt that was just barely long enough to cover her. Topping the outfit off was a pair of knee high leather boots, which drew the Saiya-jin male's attention almost immediately.

"See something you like Goshin?" Bikini giggled, "How about a drink?"

"Umm...sure," the Saiya-jin blushed, "A drink would be...exactly what I need!"

"Pretty lively in here tonight, huh?" Bikini asked, handing Goshin a mug which he promptly took a gulp out of.

"That it is," Goshin nodded, wiping off his mouth, "But I though that Shell was coming with you to this party? Where'd she run off to?"

"Oh, her and Chautzu's son Lee kind of hit it off on the way over," Bikini blushed, "I haven't seen either of them since we got here."

Goshin got a good chuckle out of that scenario, finding it hard to imagine Shell hooking up with any human. While he thought about the "couple", Goshin hardly noticed that he had drank the entire mug set before him. Bikini noticed, however, and was quick to snatch the glass from him.

"You want another one?" the lavender-haired woman smiled, "I can get it for you."

"Yeah, another would be great," Goshin smiled, "Just don't let me drink to much! I really can't hold my alcohol..."

NEXT TIME: Goshin really shouldn't have told Bikini that, because now the older woman knows his weakness! Will the anxious Saiya-jin woman get her old friend drunk? More importantly, will she take advantage of the situation? And what in the world is going on with Lee and Shell? Find out in the next installment of Dragonball AS!!!!!
