"So, are we all ready to go?" Vegeta asked, annoyed.
"We?" Trunks asked, looking at his father, who had previously said this was one of the stupidest things they were doing.
"I'm not letting you go to a planet we know nothing about—that was recently attacked. As far as anyone knows, whoever attacked, is still there. With that said, I'm not going to let Kakarot and the Namekian have all the fun. So, let's shove off." Vegeta stated, ready to go.
"We can't; we have to wait for Halley." Trunks calmly said, causing Vegeta to sweatdrop.
"Where is she?" Vegeta asked, mumbling.
"Mom's helping her with an outfit." Trunks answered, causing Vegeta to fall over.
"We'll never get to Mars with that woman playing dress up with the girl..." Vegeta complained.
"Oh, relax. We're done. Come on; don't be shy." Bulma said, annoyed and then softly to get Halley to come out.
When she came out, Halley was wearing a pink tank-top with a matching pink skort (skirt with shorts), a white bra (you could see the straps on her shoulders), and red socks; Trunks couldn't stop staring at her.
"Where did you get that outfit? No—when did you get the outfit? And, where are her shoes?!" Vegeta asked, looking from the girl to Bulma.
"I got it earlier, from to local clothing store, after you marked me; Bulla and I walked up with Chi-Chi, Videl, and 18. She needed something to wear—from Earth. As for the shoes—she refuses to wear them. Don't ask me why becasue I don't know." Bulma sternly said with an annoyed huff.
"Well, are you ready to go?" Trunks asked Halley before Vegeta could say anything; Halley nodded her head.
"Well, then—what are you waiting for; get over here." Vegeta said, annoyed.
'Y-yes, of course...' Halley thought as she hurried over.
"Dad—don't scare her. Whoa! Are you ok?" Trunks said, annoyed, and then asked when Halley nearly slipped on the floor.
"Mmmhmm—" Halley breathed out as she grabbed hold of Trunks's arm.
"Are we all ready to go now?" Piccolo asked, standing there.
"Yeah!" Everyone except for Halley exclaimed; she nodded her head and turned red as Trunks pulled her up to him.
"Where are we going?" Piccolo asked as everyone got close together so that he could transport them all to Mars.
"6-15-24 Central Mars." Trunks said, remembering what Halley had said earlier.
"Ok." Piccolo said as he started transporting everyone.
"We'll be back!" Trunks, Vegeta, and Goku called.
"Be safe! Come home soon—preferably in one piece!" Bulma called as they disappeared.
Within seconds, they were on Mars, standing in front of a smaller house.
The house was smaller than any they've seen on Earth. Still, it was pretty tall; it was also raised off the ground.
"Well, let's head in." Trunks sighed as he walked up to the door.
However, when he tried opening the door, it was locked.
"Do you have a key?" Trunks asked, looking back at Halley.
'Key?' Halley asked, confused, looking up at Trunks.
"Uhh... Something to unlock and open the door?" Trunks tried again.
'No... Girls under seventeen aren't allowed to have opening wands. Boys get them at sixteen.' Halley answered.
"Great... How are we supposed to get in?" Vegeta asked, annoyed.
"Don't pay him any attention. I guess, before we figure that out, you don't know anyone here, except for dad. That's Goku; you kind of met him earlier. Those are his sons, Gohan and Goten; they're family friends. That's Piccolo; he's also a family friend and is a Namekian.
I don't know if you know what they are, but he's one. Finally, we have Kolby: he's kind of family; he's dating my sister, Bulla.
There are more, but you'll meet them later. Everyone who doesn't know, this is Halley." Trunks said, introducing everyone.
"Hi." Everyone said at once.
"—Hi—" Halley said softly and slowly.
"Now, we just have to figure out how to get in." Trunks sighed, looking at the door.
After a few seconds, he noticed Halley kneeling on the ground, looking underneath the raised house.
After a few seconds, she pulled out what looked like a skateboard; she then traveled halfway down the side of the house.
After a few seconds, she placed the skateboard down and sat on it.
"What are you doing?" Trunks asked, confused.
'Going inside.' Halley answered Trunks while lying on her back; she then used her legs and pushed under the house.
After a minute or two, the skateboard came rolling back out—without Halley.
When Trunks looked under the house, he could only see her legs dangling out of a hole or something.
'You can use the rollerboard to get in; the door makes too much noise. I mean, your dad is right in saying we don't know if those men are still here. It's easy and quiet. Just make sure the last person doesn't push the rollerboard out.' Halley told Trunks.
"Ok then..." Trunks sighed as he laid on the "rollerboard," as Halley had done.
"What's going on?" Vegeta asked, looking at his son.
"We get in from under the house—this way." Trunks explained before pushing under the building.
'It's so damn dark under here... How am I supposed to find where I need to go? Oh. I guess that's how.' Trunks thought to himself; he had seen a dim light—and then Halley peaked her head down.
One by one, the rest of them got into the house.
"Ok—find what you need so we can get to our next destination. So then we can get ho—." Trunks quietly started explaining but suddenly stopped when he saw that Halley had already started packing up a backpack.
When he got there, he instantly noticed that there wasn't nearly as much stuff as what he and Bulla had growing up. Still, there was enough.
Halley had already started looking around, packing what she needed or wanted.
Just then, they all heard a noise in a different area of the house.
"Hide." Trunks urgently whispered, looking around.
There were two closets: Trunks, Halley, Vegeta, and Kolby hid in one while Goku, his sons, and Piccolo hid in the other.
In walked two large cats; they looked like regular house cats—except that they were the size of a lion.
Just then, a man walked in and looked around.
"What's the matter dear?" A female asked, walking in, behind the man.
"I thought I heard movement in here. Did her room always look this empty?" The man asked, looking around.
"She's not here, that's all." The lady sighed as they started turning around.
Halley's eyes got big as she recognized both of the voices; she started struggling against Trunks.
"Halley, what's wrong?" Trunks asked in a whisper.
Eventually, after a minute or two, Halley fell out of the closet but quickly got up and ran to the door.
When she opened the door, one of the cats knocked and pinned her to the ground, and sniffed her.
Just as Trunks and the others were about to attack the cat, it started licking Halley's face.
"Nebula? What's going on? Who the hell are you, people?!" The lady asked, coming back, along with the man.
"Halley?" The man asked in shock—maybe even a bit of fear when the cat got off Halley and sat to the side...
