It was odd. Not having all the gang together. But something Ryn had grown quite accustomed to after being separated for over a year. Of course they still kept in contact, well Gohan and Ryn kept in almost steady contact with the old band mates. In fact, Ryn had been practically handed the job of message deliverer. An annoying task on her part.

But other than that life was pretty peaceful. Every now and then there would be an old fan that might confront her in a store or on the streets, but hardly ever.

Today was no exception to the usual routine. She had done everything that was normal. She woke up and made her and Gohan breakfast. After he went to work she did the dishes, the laundry, and cleaned the house. As normal she would check her e-mail and reply to the few she got from her sister and Lynk. But something odd had happened when Gohan came home.

They lie together on the couch watching a movie on the television when he said. "Hunny?"

"Hm?"

"What do you think about getting the band back together?"

Ryn looked up at him, "Why the hell would you think of doing that after you were the one who decided that we should split?"

"I don't know. I just want everyone to get together and ya know, we never made a farewell album. Maybe we should just get together to make a Greatest Hits album and maybe compose a few new songs."

"Gohan, are we in some sort of credit debt?" Ryn asked raising a sardonic eyebrow.

"No. We are rich beyond compare. Look at our accounts! I just thought it would be nice. What do you think?" he asked.

"Lynk and Trunks in the same room, wait, no, the same building, might cause a colossal explosion that could destroy West City!" Ryn said chuckling.

"Doesn't she have a new boyfriend?" Gohan asked.

"Yep." Ryn nodded. "A real hottie, too, from what she tells me."

It was Gohan's turn to raise a sardonic brow. "Oh, really?" Then he looked thoughtful for a moment. "Does Trunks have a girlfriend?"

"No. Not that I know of." Ryn said thinking back to the last time she had talked to her little brother, last week.

"Well, give him a call and tell him if he has one he can bring her. And then that way Lynk can bring her boyfriend and then aha! No more trouble. Then Goten and Elise can bring their own little love spats. Um…"

"Koneko…" Ryn said nodding. "And your guys' half brother Aya. Well, we can't say Koneko can't come back, she's been here all along. The only one who really didn't do anything, well, except sleep with your father, but then again, that's Kone."

Gohan nodded. "You all warned me. Why didn't I listen?"

"Because you trust people." Ryn said nuzzling his neck.

"So do we get everyone together then?"

"Sure why not. I'll call Elise, Lynk, and Kone. The guys are all up to you to get a hold of."

"Okay."

Over the course of a week they spent calling or e-mailing each member. Arix and Elise would be arriving on a ship together from Felinoa at Capsule Corps next week where they will pick up Trunks and those three would show up together. Lynk and her boyfriend would arrive the same day. Kone could just walk over whenever they wanted her there, she only lived three blocks away. So everyone agreed to be there. Of course, some people didn't know that other people would be there. All apart of an elaborate scheme to get everyone to show up for at least one day.

As planned everyone showed up on time. Unfortunately, when told that they would be working with the band all Lynk, Trunks, Elise, and Goten came with their tempers ready. Another unfortunate trait was Lynk's witty and snappy remarks.

The girls had all crashed in one room in the couple's lavish apartment. Koneko was the only one to go home each night to her baby. The guys had their own room as well.

In the Girl's Room-

"So Lynk, what's your new man's name?" Ryn asked.

"Kokuseki." Lynk replied with a smirk.

"He's so handsome." Ryn said with a wink.

"He's not that great." Elise stated with her usual bland tone towards Lynk, her nearly sworn enemy.

"Shuddup. No one cares what you think, Elise." Lynk said looking at her best friend's twin. Turning back to Ryn she told her everything she knew she would want to know. Kokuseki was actually the other guitarist/pianist of the band as well as male vocals. The man had copper and black hair that reached his chin, his eyes were a clear blue, he had a six pack (Ryn and Lynk's ultimate fantasies always have a really good pack of abs.), he was semi-tan, and had the most silky smooth voice that she had ever heard. And on top of all that, he wore leather pants, the ultimate turn on.

Elise just rolled her eyes at the two. "Like the kind of guys you're into would have any effect on me."

"I didn't say that." Lynk smirked. "You did." She tilted her head to the right and said in her ever so smart aleck tone, "So you do think he's gorgy, don't you?"

Elise just turned her back to the runt and ignored her. Ryn and Lynk exchanged smirks and giggled.

-In the Guy's Room-

"Hey man, it's been awhile." Goten said clasping hands with his elder brother and his best friend.

"Too long." Said Trunks.

"So who's the new guy?" Trunks asked looking across the room to Kokuseki who was unpacking his travel bag.

"His name is Kokuseki, I think." Said Goten. "Seems like a pretty cool guy."

"I thought we were only getting the old band back together?" Trunks asked, he looked at Gohan for the answer.

"We are. But Kokuseki isn't part of it. He's here with Lynk, I believe he's part of their current band. According to Ryn-chan they've got something going on." Gohan watched Trunks look at the man across the room with a flare of his nostrils.

"Don't be jealous, Trunks." Goten teased, knowing just how much Lynk and Trunks had been involved and the short separation so far.

"I'm not." Trunks glared at his friend. "Why would I be jealous of a guy I could throw clear to the United States?"

"Because he's dating my little sister." Goten said, and simultaneously he and Gohan raised a brow at Trunks expecting him to have an answer or some other witty remark.

Trunks just snorted. "I'm over her, you know that." He said looking at his pile of stuff on the tatami mats on the floor.

Just then he heard someone approach. It was Kokuseki. The man was really quite handsome. Trunks could see how Lynk would be very attracted to a man like him. Knowing exactly the kind of guys Lynk was into, they could all see why she would be dating him. And of course, they all took the defensive against the man, just because Lynk was theirs first.

"I'm Kokuseki." The man said putting his hand out for either of the three to take. It was a long moment of them staring at his hand before Goten hesitantly took it and said,

"I'm Goten. Lynk's older brother."

Kokuseki nodded and turned to Gohan.

Gohan took his hand and said, "Gohan, her eldest brother."

Again, Kokuseki nodded and turned to Trunks. Trunks rolled his eyes and shook the man's hand. But didn't introduce himself so Goten took full responsibility for his intro.

"This is Trunks." Goten nudged Trunks in the back.

"Hi." He mumbled.

"Pleased to meet you all." Kokuseki smiled and nodded.

"We're about to go out in the living room and meet the girls to go out for dinner. Are you coming?" Goten looked at Trunks.

Trunks sighed, but nodded.

The four men exited the room.

-In the Living Room-

When the guys arrived in the living room the girls were already spread out on the couches and chairs. It was apparent that Lynk and Elise had to be separated before a fight had broken out. Lynk was lying on the yellow couch. Elise was sitting in a rocking chair in the farthest corner. Ryn was sitting in her favorite green recliner. And Koneko was sitting on the footstool to Gohan's big blue recliner.

"Did you two need separated already?" Gohan asked seeing his sister and sister-in-law so far apart.

"She started it." Elise said. "Instigating me, just like she always has."

Lynk rolled her eyes and sat up. Turning to where the guys had exited she saw Trunks and abruptly looked away.

Ryn taking note of every reaction caused by each person noticed this and tried to make some statement that might get everyone to get along. Standing up and turned around once to look at everyone then said, "Okay, listen up. I will not remind any body twice. There will be no fighting in this house. I will allow you to ignore each other. Elise and Lynk, I do not expect you two to be passing insults all the time. As for you two," she looked from Lynk to Trunks, "I don't care if you ignore each other or feel that you should bash each other's heads open with guitars, there will be absolutely no insults or arguments. You will treat each other like humans. Got it? Ahem. Got it?"

Everyone nodded.

"Good. Now, let's go out for dinner, shall we?" Ryn and grabbed Gohan by the arm and led everyone out of the apartment.

Lynk had caught up to Kokuseki and he wrapped one arm around her waist. Trunks was following behind them. As she was told, Lynk ignored him.

Then a thought came to Trunks. Get to know the man. See to it that he knows just who he's getting cuddly to. And then find out why he was dating Lynk to begin with.
