Steffon22 signing in! Sorry for the late update, the Internet has been acting crazy lately, and I've been busy with school, finals, graduation [my senior friends are leaving. ;(], etc. Btw, I can't believe that I forgot to type this very important detail in the last chapter; Brian Soya is the brothers' cousin. Now is he their cousin on the Human side or Saiyan? You'll have to find out! And another thing! Almost all the people in this story will be based off someone I know in real life, and for the people that go to my high school that read this, the Tori in this story is not based on the two Tori's that go to our school. Tori M. is based off another girl I know that doesn't go to our school, so leave me alone about that! Ahem, without further adieu. I present to you:

DragonBall CS: Sora-Atsu Festival Arc. Sub Arc: Preparations/The Days Leading up to the Festival, Chapter Nine: Paparazzi Dodging!

Friday, August 12, 2011: 11:30 A.M.

Steffon got in the limo and cheerfully said, "Welcome to America Jimmy!" Jimmy scoffed, "Some welcome! And stop acting like this is my first time to America" Steffon replied back, "Oh I'm sorry, how does 'Welcome to California!' sound?"

"Sounds better."

"I was being sarcastic baka!"

"I knew that! Don't start with me Steffon, cause I'll end whatever mess you start!"

Nagi and Mizuki sat there and watched their youngest and second oldest sons argue, with their eyes darting back to whichever one was yelling. Nagi leaned towards Mizuki, "Isn't this fun to watch?" Mizuki giggled, "I know right? I think the reason why they argue so much is because they act so much alike, and I think Jimmy really looks up to Steffon." Nagi nodded, and then took out his iPhone, "Great blackmail for later" Mizuki pretended to be shocked, "Ooh, so evil!"

"I know! But don't you just love me for it?" Mizuki nodded and took out her matching iPhone, "Of course dear!"

~Five minutes later~

Steffon and Jimmy were still going at it, their parents were still recording the fight for blackmail, and Cooper was reading a manga. Side note: When Cooper travels he brings all the volumes of his current favorite manga series with him. The one he brought this time was about some ten-year-old British magical teacher.

He looked up from the manga and yelled, "Hey! Could you guys act your age? Just because we're part alien does not mean we can't act like a nice, normal, functional, human family! Am I the only one mature one here?" The other Takeyas calmed down and stared at random things in the limo.

Nagi spoke up, "Hey Mi?" Mizuki looked at her husband, "Yo homie?"

"I think Cooper gets that attitude of his from your mother."

"Ha. Funny, I was going to say yours."

"Naw, you must be tripping'."

Cooper looked back at his parents and spoke, "Mom and Dad. Just because you look like you're in your early twenties does not mean you can act like it! Plus don't talk like that, you two could never be gangster."

Mizuki and Nagi looked at Cooper, spoke in perfect unison, and pointed at each other, "Ha! See? He does get it from your mother!" Steffon and Jimmy shared a giggle, completely forgetting about their fight just minutes ago. Cooper looked at his family and slapped his forehead, "This is going to be a long weekend!" Cooper's words could be heard echoing as the limo zipped down Interstate 150 to the condo.

After about ten minutes of driving the limo got stuck in late morning traffic. Mizuki thought it would be a good time to talk to her children, "So how was school yesterday, and what were you guys up to since yesterday?"

Steffon perked up, "Well a lot of things happened yesterday! Who wants to start the story first?" Cooper put his manga down, "I will. I'll start it, then you go Steff, then you finish Jimmy."

Nagi looked over at his sons, "You guys seem serious, what happened?"

Cooper looked at his father, "Why didn't you tell us about Piccolo?"

Nagi laughed, "Is that what you guys are all worked up about? I didn't tell you guys about him because I knew he would reveal himself to you guys when he was ready. Now tell me what you guys been up to since yesterday morning."

Cooper told their parents about the morning events with Piccolo. Steffon told about school. Jimmy told about the fight between him and Steffon and the events leading up to now, other then the ones their parents were there to witness. Mizuki giggled, "Oh no wonder you were freaked out Jimmy! You're still scared of girls Sweetie?"

Jimmy blushed, "No! I'm just scared of fan girls! They're too…clingy." Mizuki patted Jimmy, "I understand, I had the same problem with boys when I was your age." She gave Jimmy one of those warm "Mother Smiles"; the ones that made Jimmy feel really loved. Then the smile vanished in an instant and she looked at her other blonde child.

Steffon was currently engaged in a three-way conversation with Tori and Ezekiel Asukrai, a junior at school. "No, Ezekiel! You should go to Festival Dance! It'll be awesome; we can do all sorts of things! Also, you can dance with our group! The band kids always dan-" Steffon stopped in mid sentence because he felt an eerie stare on him. He looked up and his assumptions were correct, Mizuki was staring at him. It seem like she was studying him.

Mizuki finally spoke, "Steffon?"

"Yes Mother?"

"If you and Jimmy happen to fight in the Budōkai, who do you would win?"

"I don't know, probably me?"

"Hmm. Ok."

With that Mizuki turned back to Jimmy and started chatting with him. Steffon sat there thinking, 'Where did that come from?' Then he crossed his legs and arms, "I really need to give a present or something to Brian. He really saved me back there." Cooper looked up from his manga, "Yeah. I wonder if he's alright." Jimmy started to get emotional again, "No, he's not! We left him with those things called girls! Why did we leave our cousin back there? They have probably ripped him apart by now!" Steffon waved his hand at Jimmy, "Pssh! I'm sure he's fine! Did you hear him? He said he's been preparing for that all his life." Haha!" Steffon's laughter could be heard outside past the blaring of car horns in the traffic.

Brian was anything but fine.

After he saved Steffon from those girls, they assaulted him in the only way fan girls could: pictures, autographs, hugs, phone numbers, etc. He may not have been a Takeya, but he was still related to them, so to the girls he was almost as good, and they weren't complaining. So while his cousins, aunt and uncle were in the limo, he was now running from another group of girls. Word must've gotten out that he was their cousin real quick.

While he running/jumping/fazing through the crowds at the airport, 'Why is this airport so big?' He pulled out his iPhone and went on Twitter. He had set his location to LA so he could see what was "buzzing right now" for LA and America in general. He looked at it, expecting to see one of his cousins being the top, and himself being somewhere in the top twenties.

What he saw shocked him, he was the number one discussion on Twitter, also the second to the fifth. The number one was "#BrianSoyaisatLAX, second was "#chasingBrian. There were also other topics with similar subjects. Also his followers seemed to have tripled, before he got to LAX he had about 5000, now he was around 15,000.

When he looked at his follower count he screamed, "It's over 9000!"

Then he was puzzled, 'Why did I scream that? That was weird, it felt like it was instinctive or something.' About five minutes later he finally made it out of the airport, but to be assaulted by more paparazzi and journalists. "Brian can we please have an interview?"

"Brian, how does it feel to be related to the Takeyas?"

Brian was trapped, between teenaged fan girls and media. 'Seems like I only have one choice.' Brian leaped fifteen feet in the air and propelled forward over the crowd. Camera flashes were going off like crazy, trying to get a good picture of Brian and his "great athletics". When he landed he started running fast as he could without blowing his cover. He looked behind him and saw the media close behind. "Could you guys please leave me alone?" He turned a corner just to see a swarm of people commuting down a busy Hollywood/LA sidewalk. He thought of a brilliant plan to swarm through the crowd without being noticed, but as soon as he thought of that plan, girl yelled. "Oh My God! It's Brian Soya!" Brian slumped slightly before he started running again, 'Great. Just great…."

DBCS: 12:30 P.M.

The Takeyas finally arrived at their condo in the West Hollywood area. It was a nice five-bedroom condo with beach access. Steffon walked towards the shore, exploring for shells, etc. Cooper ran to a beach chair to read some more manga. Jimmy and their parents went inside to settle in.

About five minutes later Jimmy called from inside, "Steffon! Cooper! Come see what's on TV!" Cooper chuckled, "Let me guess. Us! Haha!" Steffon just finished putting on sun tan lotion, "You are correct my twin! Haha!"

Jimmy poked his head out of the window, "No! It's Brian! Hurry up, before the commercial goes off!" Steffon fazed to the front door, "Oh I got to see this!". The Takeyas surrounded the plasma; the channel it was on was Hollywood TV.

The anchor was a blonde guy wearing a black suit with a gold shirt and tie. The boys couldn't tell if he was gay or not. "Welcome back to Hollywood TV! Jeff Bridges here!" Cooper and Jimmy spoke up, "Yep! Defiantly gay!"

Mizuki tried to scold her children for being rude, but succumbed to giggling, because she knew they weren't out of line. "As I said before, we're going to cover the latest on the most popular person in Hollywood! If you're just joining us, and if you haven't been on Twitter, Facebook, or the Internet in general in the past few hours, you'll think that we're talking about one of the Takeyas. Well we're not! The Takeyas were so this morning!"

Steffon spoke up, "Hey! We are never old news!" Cooper hit Steffon, "Hush."

"We're covering the new kid in town! Brian Soya, a cousin of the Takeyas!" A picture of Brian smiling sheepishly appeared next Jeff. The screen then switched to a video feed taken only a few minutes ago. It showed Brian being surrounded by media on one side, and fan girls on another.

Jeff started to commentate the feed, "Here Brian is being surrounded by a swarm of people, then all of sudden he jumps over the crowd in super human fashion and escapes!" The Twins face palmed, "That Brian! He could've easily worked his way through that crowd! No need to show is powers!"

Jeff started speaking again, "Brian exhibited the same type athletic ability as the Takeya brothers did at LAX this morning!"

The screen then changed to a cell phone video showing Steffon doing super-human leaps, Cooper running along a wall, and Jimmy doing flips. Nagi ruffled the Twins' hair, "Look who's talking!"

The screen switched back to Jeff, "How did the Takeyas do that? No one knows! But tonight we'll having a 'Hollywood TV Investigation' and eyewitness accounts from the scene today! I'm sure this will be the talk of the nation for days to come!" Jimmy slumped, "Great…Just great…."

Jeff gasped and pulled up his iPad, "Brian just posted a tweet! He says 'Media and fan dodging is an extreme workout! Haha' Well folks we'll keep you posted on the up to minute details on everything while we're on 'Brian Watch!' Time for a commercial break!" Steffon pulled out his WhiteBerry and dialed Brian's number.

Brian just avoided another group and tweeted again. He tweeted, "California is very interesting. How do Celebrities deal with the media of LA?" Then his phone ranged. He answered, "What's up Steff?"

"Nothing much man, but could you hurry it up? We're ready to finish day with training, then go swimming at sunset."

"If I could Steffon, I would've been there already. I always seem to run into the media somehow. You'd think that I would have got rid of them by now."

Cooper took the phone from Steffon, "I think I know why."

Everyone in the condo looked at Cooper, and Brian spoke. "I'm listening."

Cooper cleared his throat, "You're been using 'Tweet My Location' function baka." The gears in Brian's head began to click, "Of course! That would explain why they keep on finding me! Haha" The Takeyas fell over anime style. Cooper as usual was the first to recover, "What is up with the people in this family?"

Brian then quickly turned of the function off. He then tweeted, 'Good luck finding me now! : P'

He then ran into an alley and fazed in the sky. The media turned into the alley and were bewildered. Random people asked to no one in particular what he had gone.

In five minutes Brian landed on the beach in the condo's back yard. Mizuki and Nagi walked out and greeted their nephew. Both had a book and were wearing swimwear. They both went to go sit in beach chairs about 100 meters away from where Brian was standing.

Jimmy came out of the house next in his training clothes and embraced Brian in tight hug, telling him how glad he was that Brian was safe from the media. Steffon walked out next in his usual black t-shirt and green hooding fighting clothes. He hugged Brian and joked with him about what happened during the day, and how Brian had became a 'Trending Topic'.

Steffon and Jimmy then walked about 20 meters away from Brian. Brian looked around and noticed everyone's distance from him; he then wore a puzzled look. Steffon chucked, "You forgot that fast? We're about to train silly!"

"Oh yeah. Haha. So who is my sparring partner today?" "

Me of course!" Brian turned to the direction of the voice to see Cooper leaning against the back door, manga in hand and wearing sunglasses. He walked up to Brian and shook his hand, "I'm glad you're alright but we got some training to do!"

Cooper then fazed to his Mizuki to give her his manga and sunglasses. He quickly fazed back to the boys' location. "So here is what we're going to do. I'll spar Brian first, then Steffon will spar Jimmy. Then whoever wins each match will fight the winner, and you get the idea! The rules are no flying, and no ki blasts. We do not want to blow our cover. You may use ki powered punches, etc."

Jimmy then asked, "Can we go Super?"

"Only when you have to."

Nagi called out to them, "Hey! Why are you two training so much? We all know that one of you guys will win the Budokai, there's no need to train this much."

Cooper shot back, "It's because we never know when danger might arise!"

Mizuki spoke without looking up from her book, "He does have a point Nagi. You probably start training more, the boys might surpass you soon."

"Shh! They don't know that! I'm trying to make it look like I'm concealing my ki."

"Haha. Ok dear."

Cooper then looked at Brian, "You ready?"

"Always!"

Cooper's eyes then turned turquoise, "Then let's go!"
