Author's Note: Follow Marron, Bra, Goten, Trunks, Uub and many others as they try to live normal lives in West City. I do not own any of these characters – I merely like to play with them. Some of these plots are original - some I got a little inspiration for (if you guess, you get a cookie!).

*Happy Reading!*

There were very few and far between mornings where Marron was home alone as of late; especially after Bra moved in. Either Trunks was visiting with his sister or Uub and Goten were over begging for food, beer, clean towels, something – anything! This morning was her first opportunity to be alone in over two weeks so when Bra locked the door behind her in the morning, Marron made a special trip out of her room and pushed the deadbolt in place. She took an extra ten minutes in her shower to let the water rush down her head and all over her body. She wrung out her hair and grabbed for her towel. As Marron stepped out of the shower, she wrapped the plush, yellow fabric around her body and turned to her mirror. She used her hand towel to wipe it down and stared at her reflection. She used a bit of her lotion to wipe the rest of the mascara off her face and sighed happily to herself. There really is no better feeling than just stepping out of the shower. She opened her bathroom door and made her way to her kitchen to grab some water before she put on her makeup. As Marron entered, a large presence bumped into her. She screamed and dropped her towel. Uub stared at her naked body in amazement and smiled. She screamed again and pulled her towel back up and around her body.

"That is it!" Marron yelled at Uub as she struggled to readjust herself. He looked at her, blushing. "You just barge in here – the door was even locked!"

"I'm sorry! I was hungry!"

"You have no respect for anyone's privacy!"

"Marron," he said to her. "Wait, wait…"

"No you wait! This is ridiculous!"

"Can I just say one thing?" Uub asked.

"What? What?!"

"Your nipple is showing still…" he pointed out. Marron growled at him and stormed back to her bedroom. She did not need this today. Marron flopped onto her bed and screamed in her pillow. She felt her entire body blushing as she tried to scream the horrifying incident out of her head.

.

"It was an honest mistake," Uub explained to Goten from across the table. He slowly swirled his coffee cup and stared into the black abyss, uninterested in its contents. "She made that cake last night and I couldn't stop thinking about it… I just wanted one more piece!"

"That damn cake…" Goten sneered and thumped his fist on the table. He noticed Trunks walking into Yajirobe's Coffee Shop and beckoned him over. Trunks plopped down next to Uub and immediately took out his laptop. He flung open the screen and the device powered on. "Good morning to you too, grumpy." Trunks glared at Goten's comment. "Long night?"

"…Don't start with me…" Trunks grumbled as he began furiously typing away.

"Well, Uub saw Marron's boobies this morning," he informed him. Trunks looked up confused at the two men and spied his sister making her way towards them.

"Did I miss something?" Trunks asked. Bra smiled as she came up to the table.

"Coffee with a splash of cream?" she asked her brother. He nodded at her.

"What were you doing seeing her boobies?" Trunks asked Uub, suspiciously.

"Who's boobies?" Bra questioned. Uub groaned and shoved his head in his hands.

"It was an accident… Damn it Goten!"

"Right…" joked Goten. Uub looked up and glared at his friend.

"Really! Not like I was sneaking a peak into Marron's room or anything!" he pleaded. They all spied Marron walking towards them and sat up straighter. They looked at each other nervously as she made her way.

"Hi Marron…" Uub started. She put her hand up to silence him.

"Nothing from you right now. Bra, can you please bring me a double latte – no foam…" she asked her roommate. Bra nodded and jotted her order down.

"Anything else?" Bra looked at the others. "Are you going to murder Uub by the time I get back, Marron?"

"YOU TOLD THEM?" Marron whined to Uub. Uub shrugged while the rest of them chuckled.

"I don't know why you are so embarrassed Marron – they were very, very lovely boobies."

"Lovely?" she asked. "That's it? Flowers are lovely! Ugh, can we please change the subject?"

"Yeah, hello! These are not her boobies," Bra retorted as she motioned to Marron's chest. "These are her breasts!" Trunks shook his head at his friends and went back to working on his laptop.

"Bra, I was hoping for more of a change than just that…" groaned Marron.

"Bra, I was hoping to have my coffee in this decade," Trunks joked. Bra stuck her tongue out and walked to the counter.

"Okay, okay," Uub sighed. "Let's move on…" Marron pulled her book out of her bag and began reading. Uub walked over to the counter to Bra and ordered a bagel. Goten's phone went off before he could get up to go to work.

"Pan just text me - Is dinner still planned this evening?" Goten asked. "She is going to be in town again and I kind of invited her without asking…" Marron smiled up at him from her book.

"Of course! You know I always cook extra for your uncapped appetites anyway," she teased.

"Pan is coming?" Uub asked as he walked back with Bra, averting his eyes away from Marron's immediately.

"Well this just got interesting!" Bra chimed in. "Pan hasn't been around in a while!"

"She's high in demand now that she's single," Goten joked.

"She told me she was swearing off guys just a few weeks ago…" announced Uub.

"Apparently not," Trunks said without looking up from his screen. "Gohan told me she's been dating guys left and right…"

"Lucky girl," Marron sighed. "We need to find out how she's doing it Bra!" Bra nodded in agreement.

"I'm off!" Goten announced. He stood up and stretched. "Trunks, quit being a grump. Bra, thank you for the decaf. Marron, I'll find you a boyfriend, don't you worry," he told his friends. "Uub… Keep away from Marron's boobies, okay?" He exited post haste before Marron's latte ended up all over him.

After a double shift at Yajirobe's Coffee Shop, Bra was thoroughly exhausted and ready to gorge herself on Marron's fancy dinner. She checked her phone to find dozens of notifications from her friends and family. Deciding to ignore them for now, Bra sighed to herself, clicked her phone off and threw it into her bag. Bra made her way outside towards her apartment building. Everyone was probably waiting for her arrival to begin eating. Smirking, she slowed her pace a bit and took in the sights and sounds of her West City neighborhood. They could wait a little for her - she's always waiting on them anyway. She listened to the hustle and bustle of the busy city as she made her way through the crowded sidewalks full of people from all over the world. West City sometimes felt like a melting pot - so many people from so many areas around the world came together here. No wonder it's one of the finest cities in the world. As she neared her building, she dug for her keys in her purse. Of course I buy the bags with more pockets in them than my mom's lab coats – where are those damn keys? Suddenly, Bra found herself shoved against a warm, strong body and looked up.

"Ian!"

"We really need to stop meeting like this," he joked. Bra felt a blush creep up to her cheeks. "Listen, Bra, I actually have been meaning to meet you like this…"

"But you just said…"

"Yeah, I know what I said," Ian started."…truth is – I want to apologize for not showing up to your party a few weeks ago. I should have said something, but I met this crazy drunk girl in the stairwell who needed help… She was wasted and alone - her boyfriend had just dumped her and she had nowhere to go…"

"I get it," giggled Bra. "She sounds like she needed you more than I." Ian let out a loud sigh and shook his head.

"Oh good you're not as mad as I expected you'd be! I would love to make it up to you, Bra Briefs. Any way I can!" He took her hand in his and looked at her pitifully. Bra hummed to herself.

"Dinner would be nice," said Bra. Ian nodded in agreement.

"This weekend?"

"Maybe…" Bra removed her hand from his and turned to walk up the stairs to her apartment. "It was nice meeting you like this again, Ian."

"You too Bra. Let me know about that date," he told her. She winked at him and slowly sashayed up her stairs. Thankfully Ian was out of sight when Bra tripped on the top step going up, otherwise Bra would never be able to show her face to him again. Her face was flushed and her heart was racing as she walked up to her door, still fumbling in her bag for her keys. Just as her fingers closed around the ring, her front door opened to reveal Pan's grinning face.

"Bra!" She squealed and hugged her friend. Bra returned the embrace and caught a whiff of whatever alcohol Pan had been consuming. "Marron just caught Uub staring at her boobies! Again, apparently!" Bra threw her bag down near the door and made her way to the living room where red-faced Uub sat next to a laughing hysterically Trunks - both quite intoxicated, to say the least. Bra could hear Goten talking Marron off the ledge as she slammed around in the kitchen finishing up the preparations for her dinner.

"Seriously Uub?" Bra chided him as she plopped onto the couch. Uub shook his head slowly and planted it between his knees. Pan sat down next to her and grabbed her drink off the yellow coffee table. "Can you make me one of those too Trunks?" Bra pointed towards the other cups on the table. He nodded and wiped the tears forming in the corners of his eyes away to go and make his sister a drink. Goten burst into the living room, pulling Marron in tow.

"Why is it such a big deal anyway? They're just boobs. I have them too, you know... So does Bra!" Pan argued.

"Alright guys," he started. She tugged his arm back towards the kitchen, but Goten kept a soft, firm grip on Marron's arm. "We are all adults here. There is really only one way to resolve this." He smirked as he looked upon his friends. "Since you saw Marron's boobies, Uub, I think you're going to have to show her your, uh, Mount Olym-penis."

"His kibble and bits?" Trunks asked.

"Yes Trunks, his muff marauder." Goten nodded.

"Up for a game of hide and seek, Marron? Because – ready or not, here it comes!"

"WEAPON OF ASS DESTRUCTION?!"

"BOYS!" Bra yelled. The two stopped joking and looked at her.

"You know, I just don't see that happening…" Uub grumbled and looked around the table.

"Come on, Uub," said Marron. "Goten's right. Tit for tat." Uub cleared his throat and looked away.

"Well I'm not showing you my 'tat.'"

The morning after a dinner party full of alcohol and a lavish beef bourguignon with fried mushrooms as a main dish, can be a painful one, as Bra and Marron figured out. The two girls sullenly sat across from one another with mugs full of coffee. They picked at a danish and some fruit Marron cut up as well. Bra groaned and released her head to the table.

"I can't believe last night happened..."

"We were all pretty drunk, Bra."

"I knocked on Ian's door!"

"You door bell ditched," corrected Marron. "So what?" Bra groaned again and covered her head with her arms.

"I am an adult Marron - I should not be door bell ditching anyone!"

"No, no you shouldn't be..." Marron chuckled and sipped her beverage. "I almost saw Uub's junk!"

"I still think you should..."

"Really?"

"It's only fair..." Bra concluded with her head still down on the table and her arms covering her head. Marron thought to herself for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.

"Right. Next chance I have, I'm taking it!" The two sat in silence for a few more moments - Marron cut a piece of the danish for Bra and placed it in front of her as she kept her head down.

"Marron - did you tell me something about my brother last night or was that Pan?"

"Did I hear my name?" Pan poked her head in from their unlocked front door. "You know, you guys should really keep this locked."

"How are you so chipper this morning?" Marron groaned to her. "You drank more than Bra and I combined! I need a shower to shake this off or something..." Pan closed the door behind her and walked up to the kitchen table. She stuffed a few apple slices in her mouth and smiled at Marron.

"Uub said the same thing! He popped into the shower just before I could," complained Pan.

"Uub is in the shower?" Marron asked.

"Yeah, actually, can I borrow one of yours?" Bra motioned Pan towards her room while she kept her head down on the table. "Thanks! Sleeping on Uncle Goten's couch always musses up my hair in the weirdest of ways..."

"Towels are in the cupboard!" Marron called after her. She looked at Bra on the table and an idea crept into her blonde head. "Fasten your seatbelt, Bra. The opportunity has arisen. It's Mount Olym-penis time!" Bra slowly raised her head from the table to look at her friend. Her eyes spied the danish instead and stuffed it into her mouth without a word.
