WHOOO! I updated! XD! LOL… this is pretty fast… my updating standards anyways.
By the way, I slightly edited the first two chapters of this story, like one or two changes, and I got rid of the awful author notes in between the stories and added numbers to them, which you will find at the bottom describing what they are. (Thanks to AngelKitty for that!)
I would like to thank all the nice people who reviewed :Hands them chocolate:. Replies to review will be at the bottom.
I had slight Writer's block for this chapter, though I have the story planned out in my head. I hope it's not that bad!
WARNING: This chapter may be slightly boring, but it contains very important stuff, so please bear with me as this story will get more interesting later on! Sorry about the shortness of this chapter, but school is keeping me really busy! Report cards go out next week:(

(-Author's POV-)
Hotaru walked home in a great mood that day.
"Looks like this day wasn't such a woozy after all!" she thought happily as she unlocked her from door. But her happiness immediately evaporated as she entered.
High-pitched shrieks of laughter could be heard from the basement; the voice suddenly exclaimed in a seductive, breathy voice, "Oh professor! You sooooooo smart!"
The voice made Hotaru cringe, "She's still here? God! What's she planning now?"
"Hotaru?" her father called from the basement, "Is that you? Come down! I have something important to tell you!"
Hotaru trudged downstairs to the basement, being face-to-face with Kaolinite wasn't really how she wanted her day to be like.
"Yes daddy?"
"I have good news! I found out who you're going to be staying with when I go on my trip."
"Really! who?"
"Dr. Bulma Briefs. She's a good friend of mine, and when I told her I was having trouble finding a place for my daughter, she offered warmly for you to stay. Isn't that great news Hotaru? I suggest you get ready now since I'll be leaving in two days."
Hotaru was absolutely speechless. She couldn't think of anything to say. She was happy to be near Trunks, but devastated to be near Bura. She was probably going to taunt her all week, while Trunks mopes around in his room pouting about Pan.
"Hotaru?"
"Yee-ss- d-dad-dddy." Hotaru whimpered in a scared tone, as her eyes grew wide with anxiety.
"Are you okay? You seem a little pale? What's wrong?" He asked as he walked up the stairs towards her. "Are you sick?" he put a hand across her forehead and felt her temperature. "Hmm… you don't seem sick… are you okay?"
"I'll be fine daddy." She whispered shakily, "I was just- err- just- err- I just felt a bit light-headed for a second. I'm fine now."
"Don't worry! Everything will be just fine. I'm sure you'll be great friends with Bura and Trunks!"
Hotaru stared wide-eyed at her dad for a few seconds before dashing up the stairs and slamming the door.
"Was it something I said?" Dr. Tomoe wondered as he headed back to the basement again.
(-At Capsule Corp.-)
"Trunks please pass the beans." A woman with long crystal-blue hair and big round blue innocent eyes, who looked 20 years younger then her age asked her pouting son as she raised her fork. "Trunks? TRUNKS!"
"Huh? Oh yeah? What?" He stammpered slightly as he was suddenly snapped away from his thoughts, "The beans? What beans?"
Bura rolled her eyes and said exasperatedly, "The beans in front of you dim-wit."
"Okay, okay." Trunks muttered as he handed over the beans.
"Trunks? What's wrong?" Bulma asked with a concerned look on her face, "You're not eating much tonight."
"I guess I'm just not very hungry."
Everyone at the table gasped, "You're not hungry?" Bura exclaimed as she choked on her rice pudding, "Okay, if you're not hungry, then something is definitely wrong!"
"Oh shut up!" Trunks muttered under his breathe turning ten shades of red, "It's just- I-err-umm…that is err- umm…"
"Oh just spit it out already!"
"PAN DUMPED ME! HAPPY NOW?"
There was a big silence at the table, Trunks expected people to fall of their chairs in surprise or faint or something. But nothing happened.
Nothing.
At.
All.
"Oh… so that's why. I already knew." Bura said shrugging her shoulders, "It's no biggie, go find another girlfriend or something."
It was Trunk's turn to be exasperated, "You can't just go find another one, and it's not that easy you know! And who told you that me and Pan broke up?"
Bura rolled her eyes slightly, "The whole school knows, and you expect me not to know? But whatever, Goten told me."
"Uh oh!" Trunks heart turned cold, "Did Goten tell her about the bet? Oh crap! I don't want the whole school knowing about that! Then the plan would be totally ruined!"
"Did err- he tell you anything else?"
"What else is there to tell? Pan dumped you, end of story."
"Phew!" Trunks sighed in relief, "I was really scared for a moment, I CANNOT lose this bet to Goten or else I'll NEVER get Pan back!"
"Oh yeah! I almost forgot to tell you guys something important!" Bulma suddenly exclaimed with a glow on her face, "Guess whose staying over for about a month?"
"Ooooo… is it Pan?" Bura smiled happily, "Is her family coming over? Yeah! We can shop and gos-"
"No…" Bulma smiled mischievously, "This person's father is a friend of mine, and when he told me he was going away on a business trip and he didn't know where to leave his daughter, I just knew she was destined to stay her with us! You should know the girl, she goes to your school!"
"Okay…" Trunks said raising an eyebrow, "Who could it be now? Please don't let it be some stupid girl that's going to stay up all night talking about gossip with Bura… god, don't even get me started on the last time a girl came over…"
"It's…" Bulma squealed dramatically as she drummed on the table, "HOTARU TOMOE!"
There was again, complete silence in the dining room. Not a squeak was made, other then the clatter when Bura's fork fell from her hand.
"What?" Bura wailed as she glared at her confused mother, "She can't stay! She'll like, sneaking into my bedroom at night and lick me or something!"
"I'm sure she has more manners then that."
"Uh mom! Do I have to spell it out for you? She's a freak. F-R-E-A-K!" Bura exclaimed waving in her mother's face.
But Bulma simply laughed, "Oh honey! You kids and your imaginations these days! I've met Hotaru a couple of times, she seems like a nice and wonderful caring girl to me." Then her expression became serious and deadly, "If you hurt or comment anything to hurt her, I will personally see to it that you'll never see the living daylight again. I do not want you guys going around spreading rumors about her!"
Bura rolled her eyes and went back to her dinner with a pouty face. Trunks didn't say or do anything during the whole entire conversation; he was too shocked for words.
"Oh my god!" Trunks thought to him self happily as he munched on his dinner, "This bet is falling right into my lap! Wait till Goten hears what happened!"
Trunks stifled a laugh as he thought of Goten's expression, "What are you laughing about Mr. I'm-so-sad-cause-I-got-dumped-and-don't-have-a-date." Bura growled as she raised an eyebrow, "What's so funny huh?"
"See, Trunks seems happy that Hotaru's coming." Bulma smiled happily at his son, and then added in a slight venomous tone, "Aren't you son?"
"Err- yeah mother," Trunks forced a smile, "Absolutely, I'm so excited. That's why I'm laughing."
"Wonderful." Bulma grinned missing the sarcasm dripping from Trunks' voice.
Bura, somehow seemed to have missed the sarcasm too, she gaped at her older brother in shock, "Oh my god! I did NOT just hear him comment on that… thing! Ugh! What happened? He was always making fun of her but now…maybe I'm just overreacting… these beans are really going to my head…"
Her thoughts were suddenly when Trunks slammed his fork down and smiled happily at his gaping sister and mother, "Well, since we have a guest soon, we get her room ready! I hear there's a guest room next to mine that's free! Maybe she should stay there."
"But Trunks Ho-"
"Wonderful! I'll set it up now!" and with that, he dashed up the stairs and disappeared behind the hallway.
"Oh…Kay…" Bura wondered as she ferociously attacked her beans again, "Something is DEFINITLY wrong…
"…And I'm going to get to the bottom of it..."
OOOOOooooo… Bura's up to something isn't she? LOL! I'm sorry about the shortness of this chapter! I didn't have much time to write, and I promise the next chapter won't take as long to update!
