3 months quickly slipped by. Yoko could hardly believe it when she one day glanced at a calendar and saw that it was November. The days had gone so fast considering all she ever did was train. And let's not forget, hang out with Goten. He was so infuriating or as he put it charming. Without him…Yoko sighed not even wanting to know. But 3 months and no sign of Dr. Crenshaw. In the past that might have been a good thing but now…now it meant that he was possibly cooking up his own schemes. Struggling to contain her urge to pummel something into the wall she walked to her room.

Dr. Crenshaw was in the computer lab when Rekelec found him. Rekelec cleared his throat and said, "Ummm…Excuse me Dr. Crenshaw." Dr. Crenshaw replied without looking up, "What is it Rekelec? I'm a little busy at the moment." Rekelec forced himself not to roll his eyes and said, "I was in my room when I realized the perfect way to capture Yoko." A few months earlier Dr. Crenshaw would have waved Rekelec away but now he sighed and turned towards him saying, "And what is this so called plan of yours?"

As Rekelec related his idea Dr. Crenshaw couldn't help but think it was rather good. Hmm…maybe one day he would have Rekelec inherit everything. "Uhhh…Dr. Crenshaw? Did you hear me?" Dr. Crenshaw nodded. "Yes, by the way Titus told me that the two of you discovered where Yoko was hiding. Why was she not apprehended?" Frowning at the mention of his alter ego Rekelec said stiffly, "it was not the opportune moment. She was with several friends of hers and all of the possess power levels quit high."

Then Rekelec's eyes closed. When they opened they were completely gray. Dr. Crenshaw smiled and said, "Hello Titus. What is it that dear Rekelec has neglected to tell me this time?" Titus laughed and said, "Rekky forgot to tell you that we found her making out with that little boyfriend of hers. Poor Rekky got flustered and took off. If it had been me in control I would have taken them." Would you? Rekelec's cool voice filled Titus' head and the man snarled inwardly What do you think! Rekelec laughed. You wouldn't. Although the two of us are complete opposites you still love Yoko as much as I do. You don't want to hurt her. Titus had prepared a scathing reply when Dr. Crenshaw said amused, "I can see the two of you have quite a conversation going. Now if you're done then I need to continue with my work. Let Rekelec know that he can go ahead and start preparations for his 'plan'."

"ARIA! FAYE! COME OVER HERE!" Yoko's yell brought everyone to the living room. Yoko pointed a finger to the TV looking pale. On it was…Rekelec? Yoko turned it up. Rekelec was saying into the microphone, "I'm here now because I would like to send out a special invitation to a friend of mine. Come and participate in the upcoming Budakai tournament. At the end you and I shall compete. I win and you shall rejoin us. You win…well you know what happens if you win." He pressed two fingers against his mouth and blew a kiss at the camera before leaving the screen.

Yoko could only stare at the TV. He hadn't said it out loud but it would be a fight to the death. A fight to the death…her and Rekelec. Sister against brother. When had life become so complicated? Goten's voice interrupted her thoughts. "There is no way that you're taking up his offer right? Killing your opponent gets you disqualified." Yoko stood and said, "Who said anything about killing?"

You're actually going to kill her? If that isn't a miracle I don't what is. Titus' mocking voice filled Rekelec's head and Rekelec replied dryly, I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Titus sighed and snapped, don't tell me that I have to step in. Rekelec snapped back, oh shut up! As if you could kill her. I can't wait to get rid of you. Titus yawned. I'd like to see you try. Rekelec rolled his eyes and suddenly found himself crashing into someone. "Oof." He steadied himself and grabbed the arm of whoever he had crashed into before they fell over.

Titus chuckled but Rekelec ignored him. "I'm sorry. Are you alright?" At his voice the person looked up her blue hair sliding across her face. Rekelec immediately blushed. Her eyes were as blue as her hair and a soft blush covered her face. She was…pretty. She smiled and said, "I'm fine. It's not every day I get to crash into a hot guy." Rekelec paled and took a step backwards. "E-excuse me?" She laughed and flipped her hair over her shoulder. "I'm sorry. I probably shouldn't have said that but it's the truth. By the way I'm Bra." She held out her hand. Hesitantly Rekelec took it in his own.

Bra felt her face redden when the man didn't shake it instead he lifted her hand up to his mouth and kissed it gently. "I'm Rekelec." He released her hand and Bra managed to draw in a breath. Handsome and charming, something that didn't happen that often. She smiled at him once more. "What's a charming guy like you doing in West City?" Rekelec replied, "I'm here on business. What are you doing here?" Bra sat down on a nearby bench and Rekelec sat beside her.

She lifted up a large bag and said, "I'm shopping of course! I'm waiting for my mom to come out of that store." It wasn't till she said mom that Rekelec realized how young Bra looked. Great. Now people were going to think he was cradle robber. Ignoring Titus, who was laughing hard, he said, "Bra? I don't want to seem forward but how old are you?" Bra felt disappointment wash over her. Maybe she shouldn't have mentioned her mother. She sighed and replied grudgingly, "I'm 16." Seeing the stricken look on his face she really wished she hadn't mention her mom.

Rekelec asked skeptically, "Are all 16 year olds so beautiful?" Bra laughed. This guy was like a Goku reincarnate. Only charming. "Nope not all 16 year olds. How old are you?" Rekelec smiled ruefully and said, "I'm 25. A little too old for you I'm afraid." Bra sighed and said, "Well...it was nice meeting you Rekelec. I will always remember this day as the day that I finally met a nice guy. To bad you're too old." Rekelec laughed. "Too bad you're too young. It was a pleasure meeting you Miss. Bra. I shall never forget you either. Perhaps I shall see you again."

They both stood and Rekelec reached for her hand. Taking it he kissed it once more. The smile he gave Bra had her melting in her boots. He was almost out of sight when Bulma came running out of the store. "Are you alright honey? I saw that man who was talking to you. He wasn't offering…Bra? What's wrong?" Still able to feel the slight pressure of his mouth against her hand Bra smiled dreamily and said, "I think I'm in love…" Bulma sighed and wondered if she had been like that at 16.

"HYA! HYU!" Yoko slammed her fists into the large tree ignoring the fact that her knuckles were begging to bleed. With each punch she could feel tension building up. What the hell was wrong with her? She slammed her right fist into the tree and ignored the fact that her wrist shattered. Gritting her teeth against the pain she slammed her left fist into the tree. For a moment nothing happened and suddenly the tree fell backwards.

Clapping from behind her made her wince. Slowly turning Yoko found Goten standing behind her. "Yoko the point of training isn't destroying your hands. What are you, the female version of Vegeta?" slumping to the ground Yoko said bitterly, "oh shut up. You don't understand." "Well help me understand." Sighing Yoko said, "It's not supposed to be this way. I should be sitting behind a desk working. Then when I get off of work I should be meeting you for a date. That's how my life should be. Organized. I don't even have a place of my own anymore."

Tears trickled down her face and Goten said softly, "I'm sorry hon. I should have realized that this would be bothering you more than you let on. I can't really do anything but if you want I can take you out." Yoko sniffed and nodded. She stood and found herself encased in Goten's arms. She hugged him back, taking care not to move her wrist. He was like…a giant cuddly teddy bear. They returned to the house where Chichi clucked over Yoko's wrist.

When it was bandaged Goten said, "If you're not to busy Yoko would you like to go out?" the words were barely out of his mouth when Yoko disappeared from the room. A few seconds later she returned fully showered and dressed. Placing her hands on her hips she said eagerly, "Well! Let's go." Goten laughed and said teasingly, "who would have ever thought that Yoko would get so excited to be going out with me?" "GOOOTEEEEN!" He sighed and said mockingly, "Alright if you insist I'll go out with you. You should feel privileged. It's not every day that I give up the television to go out-!" He was interrupted by Yoko yelling, "SON GOTEN IF YOU DON'T TAKE ME OUT RIGHT THIS MOMENT THEN I'LL FIND MYSELF A NEW MAN!"

Goten laughed. He couldn't wait to go out.

"Goten, if you start crying it won't be on my shoulder." Goten turned to glare at Yoko and said sniffing, "I never said I needed your shoulder besides I'm not crying." Glancing at Goten Yoko said giggling, "Goten it was just a movie for Pete's sake! Besides it was sort of cheesy. Nothing to get emotional about." Goten frowned. "It was not a cheesy movie. I found it inspiring." Yoko rolled her eyes. They had decided to go to the movies and had just finished watching 'The Notebook'. Now Yoko was wishing she had suggested an action movie.

"Whatever. You're not crying and I'm Mary queen of the Scots. Hey look! Ice cream!" Yoko grabbed Goten's hand and dragged to a nearby ice cream. Yoko got a classic vanilla while Goten got a weird combo of half the different flavors in the store. They were quietly eating there ice cream when Goten's cell phone rang. He handed Yoko his ice cream and answered.

"Hello?"

"Goten! It's me Trunks. Where are you!"

"Uhh…somewhere eating ice cream. Why?"

"I have a bit of a crisis on my hands."

"Trunks will you just say it already?"

"…Bra is gone."

Goten hung up a few minutes later and smiled apologetically to Yoko. "Sorry but i think we're going to have to cut the date short." "...Okay...why?" Yoko frowned slightly and looked at Goten expectantly. He sighed and said, "Trunks' sister Bra is missing. We need to help find her." Yoko sighed and allowed Goten to lift her up so they could take flight. As they sped through the night sky she couldn't help but wonder if all their future dates would be cut short.

Well thats the end of chappie 7! I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter!
