Sirene Night

K.Blacre

Sunlight curled in through the open French doors hitting her square in the face. It hadn't bothered her before but now it was becoming annoying. Her eyes fluttered opened and she threw back the blankets. She still wore her dress from the night before. She slipped from the bed, walked over and closed the doors before throwing on her robe and heading downstairs. She didn't talk to anyone as she went. When she got downstairs into the living room, Trunks and Goten turned around on the couch to look at her. She looked at both of them in turn but didn't speak.

"Hey, Bra." Goten said. "Are you okay? I heard about last night and..." She walked away before he could finish.

"Hey, you're up. Good. I was meaning to talk with you last night but you'd already fallen asleep." Bulma said, sipping her coffee.

"I don't feel in the mood for talking right now. Maybe later."

"Alright. Whenever you're ready."

"Thanks." Bra when in the kitchen, grabbed a cup of hot tea and went back up to her room.

Pan sighed, the sound of the phone bringing her slowly back to consciousness. She grabbed the phone, her eyes not even open yet and put it next to her ear.

"Hello?"

"Pan, I need to talk to you." Bra said from the other line. It sounded as if she'd been crying. Pan was instantly up.

"What's wrong?"

"Goten and Marron. That's what's wrong."

Gohan jogged up the stairs to see if Pan had gotten the phone but stopped.

"What's wrong?" Pan asked.

"Goten and Marron. That's what's wrong." He heard Bra say.

"What's wrong with Goten and Marron?" Bra broke down in tears and quickly said it.

"Goten's been cheating on me with Marron!"

"What!?" Gohan suddenly felt his ki shoot.

"I just found out last night at the party. Marron was talking to a friend of hers and she was saying that she was going to meet him after the party which is really funny because he'd said he was going to train with Goku last night."

"I know. Maybe I'll go and talk to him about it."

"No! He doesn't know I know yet. I don't want you to confront him. Besides, he'd probably just lie to you."

"You're right. What about my dad?"

"I don't think he wants to get involved."

"I'm sure he'd love to when he finds out the situation." Pan sighed. "Look, I'll go over to your house today if you want."

"No, that's alright. I'll probably just take a long ride. You know, let everything settle down in my head."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. Thanks, anyway."

"No problem. Well, bye."

"Good-bye."

"Dad, you can come in, now. I'm off the phone." Gohan opened the door and looked at Pan.

"How'd you know?"

"I felt your ki go up. So, you heard it all."

"Yeah."

"I kinda figured you would. What are you going to do? Confront him in front of Bra's whole family?"

"No. He wouldn't survive that. I'm going to go tell your grandfather and then both he and I are going to go and get him. I want you to stay here, got it?"

"Yeah."

"Good." Gohan turned and went back down stairs.

ChiChi opened the door to find her eldest on the step. She smiled, hugged him and let him in.

"So, what's going on? Goku!" Goku came into the room. A smile lit his face when he saw Gohan.

"Hey!"

"I need to talk to you both. It's about Goten." The smiles on both his parents' faces fell.

"What about Goten?"

"He's been cheating on Bra...with Marron."

Goku and Gohan landed on the front lawn in front of the Brief's home. They walked up to the door and Gohan knocked. A minute later, the door opened and Trunks stood there.

"Hey guys." He stopped at the serious look on both their faces.

"We need to speak with Goten for a bit." Goten walked to the door and Trunks walked away. "Come on." Goten walked out and closed the door.

"So, what'd you guys need?"

"Let's take a little flight." The three lifted up into the air.

"I just can't believe Goten would do something like this!" Videl paced back and forth in the living room, Pan and Dende looking at her very concerned. "Doesn't he realize that he's putting himself between two best friends!"

"Mom, Marron and Bra weren't really best friends. They were friends, but not best. Besides, Marron has always had this...jealous obsession with Bra. I've never figured out why but maybe this whole Goten thing is just part of that."

"But the fact is that he cheated on her, full well knowing what he was doing." Dende said.

"I know. All I'm saying is that maybe Goten was just a pawn. I'm not saying it's right that he cheated on her. He should have known better." Videl stopped and looked at her daughter.

"I think I might know what you're getting at." She then looked at the Namekian. "So, why is he here again?"

"I'm waiting for dad, first."

"Oh."

"I really don't like things going around me like this." Vegeta said, punching the air. "It's pissing me off."

"You're not the only one. Ryan is trying to talk to Bra but it's not working." Trunks responded.

"Your mother doesn't seem to be having much luck there, either." There suddenly came a knock on the GR door. Vegeta turned off the gravity and opened the door.

"Goku wants to talk to us." Bulma said. Vegeta groaned as he followed Trunks out.

"This had better be good, Kakarott." Vegeta said.

"You three might want to sit down for this." Ryan walked into the room.

"What's going on?" She asked.

"Would you like to know what's going on, too?" Goku asked. Ryan sighed and nodded. She walked over to Trunks and sat down.

"Vegeta." Bulma said.

"I'm not sitting."

"Fine. We don't know how long it's been going on, but Goten has been cheating on Bra with Marron."

"WHAT!!" Vegeta yelled, turning Super Saiyan.

Normally, a trip to the mall would cure anything. News was slowly spreading and Trunks had pulled from Goten (though no one knew how) that it had been happening for two years. Bra had been dating Goten for four years since she turned fifteen. Half of that, he hadn't really been dating her. She had yet to speak with Goten but there was only one thing she could think of. They were no more. She drove the car twenty over the speed limit, intending to run it over a cliff. She'd bought the car in hers and Goten's third year being together. Apparently, that third year had all been a lie. Some might say she wanted to commit suicide. She'd thought about it but then realized that it was Goten who should be sad. Bra suddenly realized she was too good for him. She just didn't want the car anymore and she didn't want someone else to have it. She was now driving through a forested part of the city, close to a cliff that no one lived on and no one would notice the car. A flash of light suddenly shot out in front of the car and she slammed on the brakes. Her heart was pounding. She looked over the road again. Nothing was there. She unbuckled and slowly got out of the car. She walked in front of the car to see if she'd hit anything. Luckily, she hadn't. Her Saiyan ears picked up movements but she couldn't place just one. Either there were too many at once or they were just too fast to single out.

"Get ahold of yourself, Bra. It's not like a vampire is going to come up from behind and try to drain you dry." She laughed lightly and turned around. A few drops of rain hit the ground before a downpour started. She walked back to the car and climbed in. Her heart was still pounding, she realized. She took deep breaths, put the car in reverse, turned around, and headed back home.

Author's Note: Was this chapter a bit slower than the last? I hope at least a bit. Just so everyone knows, I don't hate Goten. If anything, he's on my list after Trunks and Piccolo, oh and of course Dende. Well, see ya!
