Authors Notes: I know that weed is not addictive. I'm a recovering drug addict. Believe me, I would have rather been addicted to weed than the stuff I was addicted to, but the squares are right when they do say that it is a gate way drug. I might end up making some changes to the chapters. I'll keep ya'll posted. ;)

It was six in the morning when Vegeta got up for his day of training. As he walks down the hall, he checks in Trunks room to make sure he was still there, and as of course he was still asleep half hanging off his bed. "What a mess in that room. He's going to spend today cleaning that shit hole up." Thought Vegeta. He continued down the hall to check on Bra. When he peered into her room he was shocked to see she was not there. Just as he walked out of Bra's room he heard the front door quietly close. Vegeta walked down the stairs to see Bra hanging up her coat. When she turned around he saw the high lighter markings on her face and arms.

"Girl, what is on your face and arms?" scowled Vegeta at his daughter.

"Oh hi daddy!" a startled Bra said and she gave her father a huge hug and still very drugged but she tried not to let it show, "What are you doing up so early?"

"I'm always up this early." He replied as they walked into the kitchen.

"Shit, I'm hungry." Said Bra as she opened the fridge and pulled a half eaten chicken and put it in the microwave.

"Watch the language." Said Vegeta as he got himself a glass of water. With that Bra turned around and jumped on her father's back and gave him a huge kiss on the cheek.

"I love you, daddy." Said Bra.

"Ok, now get off me." Said a very startled Vegeta. Once she got off his back he turned and looked at her and smirked and looked at his daughter bouncing in the kitchen, "Princess, I'm sorry about yesterday. And don't tell anyone I apologized."

"Ok daddy," said Bra as she was still bouncing in the kitchen hardly evening hearing her father although she knew what he said. By this point the microwave had stopped, Bra took the chicken out of the microwave and sat at the kitchen table and began to eat the chicken. Vegeta sat down at the table with her.

"Bra, I have been worried about you since you came back home."

"Why daddy?" said Bra as she ate her chicken without a care in the world.

"Well, it's mostly your mother that's worried, but you are my Princess and I do worry about you and Trunks sometimes, but she seems to think you've been very distant from everyone and everything."

"I'm sorry to make you worry. But really I'm ok." Bra said with her mouth full, "In fact going out tonight was the just the thing I needed. I made some new friends and I danced all night." Vegeta looked at her with a slight scowl. He did not like the idea of his daughter dancing with boys. Bra noticed his scowl and giggled, she was still tripping. "Don't worry daddy, there were no slow songs." With that Vegeta got up from the table and walked over to his daughter and kissed her lightly on her forehead. Then walked towards the gravity room. "Hey Daddy, can I go out with Rei again tonight? We're just going to her house to watch some movies." Asked Bra.

"Sure, Princess. Now, go to bed."

"Ok." With that Bra got up and put the chicken back in the fridge and bounced up stairs. Bra got into bed and fell asleep very quick.

A month had gone by since Bra started hanging out with Rei and her new friends. She still had not returned to work. She had also been doing drugs just about every night of the week with her newfound friends. But she was not just dropping acid and rolling on E anymore, in a week, Bra had tried Special K, Heroin, and other various pills. Bra liked the drugs very much and the drugs liked her. The drugs covered the pain of her weakness. The drugs made her free of pain and failure. Every time she got high she felt control in her life and it had been along time since she had control. Vegeta and everyone else had stopped worrying about her. Which made Bra very happy. She knew that no one could find out, but she had it under control. She knew she was not an addict. But what Bra did not know about drugs is that you never really know when you've become an addict. The only one, who still had a little worry about Bra, was Pan. But, Pan knew that Bra was a smart cookie, but she missed hanging out with her best friend. Bra always had some party she was going to, she was always going to Rei's or someone house to hang.

Trunks and Pan were sitting on the front porch of his house watching the night sky. Pan looked up at Trunks and with some sadness in her voice asked Trunks, "Is Bra mad at me or something?"

"Why would you think that?" asked Trunks.

"When was the last time Bra and I went to the mall? When was the last time I had a 3 hour phone conversation with her?"

"Ummm...I really don't know. I never really kept track." Replied Trunks.

"It's been well over a month. I feel like Bra has totally dropped me as a friend."

"No, she would never do that. You guys have been friends since you were born."

"I miss hangin' out with her."

"You know something, I miss her too. I haven't really seen her in like a month. She sleeps all day and is out all night."

"Are we too boring for her?"

"No!" said Trunks, then looking at her passionately, "We always have lots of fun." With that he kissed her neck.

"Trunks, stop it!" Pan giggled. Trunks did not stop. The two made out on the porch for a while before they were interuped by Goten.

"OH gross you two. Get a room." With that remark Trunks threw a rock at Goten.

"Man don't you ever call before you come over." Trunks jokingly sneered.

"heh," chuckled Goten, "No" he replied with a sarcastic tone, "where's Bra?"

"That's seems to be the question of the month. Where is Bra Briefs?" Joked Trunks.

"She's out, as usual." Sighed a depressed Pan.

"She misses Bra." Said Trunks.

"I haven't seen her in a month." Shrieked Pan.

"I haven't either."

Trunks snaps his fingers, "I got it!"

"Wonderful, Trunks! You learned how to snap." Joked Goten.

"Shut up asswipe. I know how we can tell if Bra is really ok." Smirked Trunks.

"Oh really." Asked Pan.

"Let's go out, tomorrow night, to The Last Shout."

"That's a great idea." Said Pan.

"I love that place. They have the best food." Said Goten.

"Is that all you think about?" questioned Pan.

"Not all the time, just some of the time." Retorted Goten.

"Ok, so we're going? Tomorrow?" asked Pan.

"Yes, Definitely." Replied Trunks.

"OK, Sexy," Joked Pan as Trunks blushed, "I'm gonna go. I'm gonna call Bra tomorrow to see if she wants to go shopping."

"Do you need a ride?" asked Trunks.

"Nope! It's nice out, I'm gonna fly." Pan said with excitement.

"By yourself?" worried Goten.

"Yea, why not. It's not like anyone will see me, and I can take care of myself, you know."

"Ok," said Trunks as he stood up, "You be careful, and call me when you get home." With that he sweetly kissed Pan.

"ok, I'll call you. Later, Sexy." Trunks blushed again as Pan flew into the air. Trunks watched her intently until he could no longer see her.

"Well, what did you come over with out calling for?" asked Trunks.

"I dunno, I was bored at home so I thought I'd drop by and see what you were doing. Apparently it was my niece."

"Shut up, Goten." Trunks picked up yet another rock and threw it at him. Only this time Goten caught it and threw it back. With that the two boys began play fighting in the yard.
