~~~~~

Athena and Trunks landed in front of the Son house to see that Gohan, Videl, Piccolo, Goten, Krillen and a blonde that Athena had not met yet were already there. She breathed a premature sigh of relief as she noticed that Yamcha was not yet there. As they walked towards the house, the object of her trepidation landed. He ran up to the two and smiled lecherously. "Hi guys. Trunks, what is this gorgeous vision's name?"

Before Trunks could respond, Athena jumped in. "Didn't I tell you to stay out of my sight if you wanted to live? My name is Athena, remember it, it'll be the last thing you learn." She started to power up a ki blast in her palm. Goku saw her and ran out to rescue his friend.

He hugged Athena from behind, startling her enough for her to lose her concentration. "Hi sis, glad to see you've met Yamcha already. Yamcha is one of my best friends." He spun her around and held her by her shoulders gently. "You should go over to meet Krillen and his wife, 18. I think you'd like her."

She glared at her brother and stared at one of his hands that was invading her personal space. It was as if she was willing it to leave her person. Goku noticed and let his hands drop. Growling softly, she trudged away from Goku, Trunks and the moron. Athena walked up behind the short, bald man and raised an eyebrow. "Hello Krillen, who's the woman?"

He turned around and gave her a nervous smile. "This is my wife, 18." He turned to the blonde and smiled. "Honey, this is Athena, Goku's sister." The two women regarded each other for a moment before 18 stuck her hand out to shake Athena's. She returned the gesture and shook in gently.

18 watched her silently. "So I suppose you're a Saiyan hmm?" Athena nodded slowly, not a big ashamed of that fact. "Goku and Vegeta should be ecstatic, someone new to spar with." Athena merely smiled and looked around.

Watching Gohan and Videl silently, she turned back to Krillen. "Where is my nephew's brat?" She turned her eyes back to the happy couple.

"Pan is at the babysitter's with our daughter Marron."

Athena turned to stare at Krillen with wide eyes but a stoic face. "You mean you gave them to someone to sit on?!"

He chuckled softly and shrugged. "It's not like that. We paid a person to watch them and keep them out of trouble. That way, we could come be with our friends and not worry about what they're doing." She nodded in understanding and waved to them as she went over to Chichi.

Chichi smiled at the sight of her sister-in-law. "Athena! So nice to see you. Where's Vegeta?"

She huffed softly and rolled her eyes. "Where else? He said he would be `caught dead' at his rival's house. He's probably off training somewhere. That's all he does it seems."

Chichi giggled softly. She thought to herself about how true it was. Goku walked over and stood in the center of the group. "Alright everyone, welcome to our party. While we're waiting for Chi to finish the food, we're going to play some games. I know it's childish, but I want to play truth or dare." Groans of displeasure were heard from everyone. "Oh come on, it's not that bad. Here are the rules. No killing, no asking someone to harm themselves. Got it?" Everyone nodded and he sat down. Everyone but Chichi sat around him in a circle. "I'll start, Athena, truth or dare?"

She shrugged and thought for a moment. "Truth, make it good Goku."

He smirked slightly and cracked his knuckles quietly. "Athena, why don't you like Yamcha?"

She looked over at the person in question and growled. "I don't like him because he believes that he is Kami's gift to the women of his planet. I mean, he's not even royalty…if Vegeta or I were to think that…there would be an excuse, but not a pathetic human. Trunks, truth or dare?"

"Truth I guess."

She put a finger to her chin in mockery of thinking. "Alright Trunks, if you could be more like anyone, who would it be and why?"

He looked down slightly. "I'd be more like my dad. As bad tempered as he is, he demands respect…" He sighed softly. "Yamcha, truth or dare?"

"Dare, totally."

Vegeta sat in contemplation. `The onna really wanted me to go…but it IS Kakarot's house…' He sighed and shut off the television. Looking down at the puppy that was sleeping by his foot, he growled. `I'm going…forget that it's Kakarot, it's the onna.' He stood up and walked to the door. He looked back at the baby dog that still snoozed. "Be good Baka." He strolled out, closed and locked the door, and took off.

~~~~~

Trunks smirked almost evilly. "Yamcha, have I got a dare for you… I dare you to kiss Athena on the lips for a full 5 minutes." Yamcha smiled lecherously at Athena as she gulped unhappily

He slowly scooted closer to her and waited on pins and needles to see if she would hit him. When she didn't, Yamcha softly kissed her much to her chagrin. Her eyes slowly closed as she tried hard not to wrinkle her nose at his touch. Yamcha slowly wrapped her arms around her, pulling her closer.

As Athena finally thought she was going to vomit, they heard a menacing growl. "Get you disgusting paws off of the onna human!" Yamcha jumped away from her and stared into the onyx eyes of Vegeta. He mocked him. "Do you honestly think that the onna would want you? She's a Saiyan; she has more pride than that." With that, he reached for Athena and pulled her closer to him.

She looked into his eyes and smirked. "You decided to come…I'm surprised." He stared into her eyes. Turning to her brother, she grumbled softly. "Goku, I don't want to play anymore, can we just go swimming or something?"

He nodded and stood up. "Come on everyone, let's go to the lake." He ran towards the lake, not waiting for the others to follow him. Vegeta grabbed Athena's hand, surprising everyone and followed him at a walk. Everyone else followed suit.

They all arrived at the lake as Goku was jumping in, splashing almost everyone with a huge wave. Goten and Gohan unclothed themselves and jumped in right after their father. Trunks took off his shirt and dived in. Piccolo just watched as Krillen, Videl and 18 stripped down to their swim suits and got in.

Athena watched them with a raised eyebrow before stripping down to her baby blue, camouflage bikini. Vegeta's eyes almost came out of their sockets as he watched her. Slowly he took off his shirt and revealed royal blue swim trunks. Athena slowly sat on the grass and looked up at Vegeta. His eyes moved over her form slowly and locked onto her pendant. "Do you ever take that off onna?"

She shrugged. "I only take it off when I'm showering. I don't plan on going into the water…so I might as well wear it. Vegeta, why do you seem so preoccupied with my necklace?"

"Onna, you wouldn't understand, it's complicated. You have no idea what that having that means do you?"

She studied his face for a moment as he sat beside her. "Well, no, I just thought it was a gift. Obviously you know, so why don't you tell me."

He seemed to consider this for a moment and sighed. "I'll tell you about it later Athena, it's something I want to be alone to tell you about…"
