Valese's POV
I had no idea the Briefs' residence was so big! I thought they'd live in a penthouse or something, but this is even better! It's luxury. It felt so good to be Bulla.
"Hey, bro!" I said to Trunks as he walked by. "Can you get me a soda?" I shifted myself on the sofa.
"I'm not your personal slave," he muttered. Then, he walked away, ignoring my request. Big brothers are so annoying! But wait, he's not actually my brother.
I can't believe Bulma Briefs is so stupid. Personally, she was my idol, until now. I thought she'd catch me right away, maybe if Trunks! But if he did snitch, then Bulma would probably kick his butt and give him a lecture.
Although it's calm here, that Vegeta character is always in this room called the Gravity Room. He's always grumpy, but gives me sly smiles, which I find very disgusting. I don't know whether he's up to something or it's just his way of being kind.
Who cares? I'm living life like the Queen of England!
Goten's POV
Something tells me that girl has potential. Her stance is perfect, so she's guarded in any possible way. I think her name was Pan?
Well, Pan seems like a very experienced fighter, like myself. And heck, her friends are pretty cute too. Actually the blue-head reminds me of Trunks' newfound sister.
Anyway, MushVroom attacked first. Since his name has 'vroom' you might have guessed he's pretty quick –and he is –human-wise. The other part of his name comes from his tubbiness. He's very chunky.
MushVroom ran up to Pan and punched her in the gut. Her fragile, small body bent over from the force. I was beginning to get worried. Mom said never to let a girl fight, unless they're built tough like Mom was. Of course, I didn't listen to her.
"Pan!" the two girls screamed. I looked at both of them at the corner of my eye and then continued watching the match.
Why was I there, you ask? Simple. I don't have a job. There ain't no way I'm going out there and beg for money! That's just straight up stupid.
Pan took several steps back, clutching her stomach with one eye half open.
"NO BODY MESSES WITH PAN!" she shrieked as she dashed up to MushVroom with a piercing, horizontal kick. MushVroom was sent flying back and smashed into the wall. The bricks and residue covered the fat man and he lost lots of teeth. He'd be in better shape if I had fought him.
I turned around and saw Pan's friends huddling around her asking her questions of her stability and if she was okay.
"Yeah, I'm great. I just won $5,000!" She raised the cash up high in the air for everyone to see. Typical.
The crowd dispersed and I shoved my hands into my pocket and walked up to the girls.
"Give me half," I said with my hand out.
Pan held the bundle of cash defensively.
"No."
"It was my fight," I said.
"I was the one who fought, you dimwit."
"You stole my fight."
Pan stuck her tongue out and made an 'mmm' sound. It really got on my nerve.
"Shut up and give me half!"
"Look, you might be a cute, well-built, sexy teenage boy, but we're not handing that money over, you got that?" the blue-haired girl sneered. Quickly, her hands covered her mouth and she slipped into the blond's shadow.
"The name's Goten." I smiled and this time, I held my hand out for a handshake.
The blond frowned.
"I'm Pan," Pan said, but I already knew that. I was interested in the other two's name.
"I'm Barbie," the blond said. Her voice was full of sarcasm.
"And I'm Celeste," the blue-hair girl said. Though, I don't know if she lied or not.
Soon, we were walking down the streets of Satan City.
"So what are you three girls doing all the way out in east of Satan City?" I asked.
Pan rubbed her shoulder and stared at the ground.
"Why are you so into our business?" Barbie asked. (I know her name is not Barbie, but I can't keep saying blonde over and over again, can I?)
I gave her the evil eye, but she had her own eyes closed and her head held high.
"So do you have a place to stay?" I asked as I checked my fingernails nonchalantly.
They stopped in their footsteps.
"No."
"Oh crud, I forgot about that."
"Let's go find when of those trees and stay there for the night."
"Yes, good thinking, Marron."
I smirked. "So your name is Marron?" I asked Barbie.
Marron rolled her eyes. Oh man, I know she has something for me.
"You know, I have something in mind," I said as I pretended to gaze off in a different direction.
"We're not interested," Marron spat out. "We're not going to your house."
"I never said that!" I shouted defensively. "I have a few capsules back at my place. I can let you borrow them for the time being. Actually, you can have them. I don't need them anyway."
"Capsules? What are those?" Celeste asked.
My jaw dropped.
"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A CAPSULE IS? WHERE DID YOU COME FROM? 2013?" I exclaimed. These people must have been from the past!
"No, you dork. We're just as old as you are," Marron said with triumph.
"So what are capsules?" Pan asked. "They sound cool."
"They're just little thingies you have and they turn into a home or vehicle," I said, gesturing my hands. "I can't really explain it, but my friend Trunks can. I'll ask him to help you guys out, too. Anyway, where are you from? Judging by your lack of knowledge, you must be from the past, am I right?"
"As if," said Marron. "We have enough knowledge to know that you're wearing your shirt backwards." She crossed her arms. What was up with her? Did she wake up on the wrong side of bed today?
I checked my shirt and sure enough, it was backwards. My hands fumbled around as I turned my shirt around. Celeste and Pan were giggling hysterically. I blushed.
"We'll take the capsules," Pan said after here fit of laughter. She sort of reminds me of Videl or Mom.
"Wait here then," I said. I turned around and leaped into the air. The three girls gasped. I heard Marron mutter something. Probably, it was something unpleasant, but I ignored her. Then, I took off towards home to pick up the capsules.
Pan's POV
We sat on the curb of the sidewalk, waiting for Goten to come back. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him take flight like that! It was absolutely amazing!
"It's probably some trick he's doing," Marron said, bored. "I don't trust him one bit. What if he reports us to the authorities? Then what?" She was saying that directly at me since Bulla was making googly eyes.
"I trust him," I said. "He's nice and I'm pretty sure he's not going to report us."
Marron sighed. "I guess you could be right."
Finally, after a few moments of aloneness from Goten, he landed right behind us with capsules in hand.
"Here," he said as he tossed them to me. I caught them with no hesitation.
"Thanks, Goten," I said as I examined the capsule. I noticed that the logo was the exact same logo Ms. Briefs had on her clipboard! I shot up to my feet.
"Goten! Where did you get this?!" I asked while holding the capsule up. This was urgent. We had to find Bulla's mom! I'm sure it's Mrs. Briefs!
"Whoa, whoa! Calm down, Pan!" Goten said.
"What's wrong?" Marron asked as she stood up. I showed her the logo and then her eyes directed at Goten.
"I got this from my friend, Trunks. He's the president of Capsule Corporation," said Goten. His eyes were full of curiousness.
"Where's Capsule Corp? Please tell us!" Bulla added. "Please, we have to!"
"Why?" asked Goten, suddenly all defensive.
I hadn't realized Marron hadn't been talking much until she said, "Did Bulma Briefs find her daughter?"
Goten stood silent for a moment staring at Marron. He nodded.
Marron closed her eyes and scrunched up her eyebrows and thought. We were all silent, waiting for Marron to speak.
"That's good for her," Marron finally said. I nearly fell over. The suspense wasn't supposed to lead up to this! Even though, I kept my mouth shut just in case.
"Well bye, Goten. Nice meeting you and thank you for the capsules! We owe you one!" Marron said cheerfully. Her personality changed drastically.
Goten stood there, stunned. He didn't expect Marron's rude, ambitious personality to change so quickly. "You're welcome?"
With that, Marron strode off with me and Bulla shuffling behind.
After we were deep enough into the woods, Marron said, "Here's a good spot, don't you think?"
I didn't answer.
"I guess so," Bulla said, half-heartedly.
"We'll talk inside, okay?"
"Okay."
If Bulla is Bulma's daughter, then who is inside Capsule Corporation pretending to be Bulla?
