DISCLAIMER: Would any of you believe me if I said I owned any part of DBZ/GT or "That Old Feeling"? I didn't think so, because either way I don't!

THAT OLD FEELING

It's now the morning after the wedding. This next scene shows Bra, Ken, Maron and Yamacha arguing in the Lobby. What is it they're arguing about? Let's see.

"What do you mean gone?" asked Ken.

"Away, they left!" Maron yelled.

"That's what gone usually means isn't it?" Yamacha remarked disturbingly.

"Ok, can we all just calm down and not get hysterical? I'm sure they'll be back in 20 minutes." Bra said.

"Oh yes, you would be calm," snapped Yamacha. "You're the natural child of those people, on some subterranean level you're glad this happened!"

"Look, Yamacha, Maron you both have been wonderful to me. They were much better off with the two of you then they ever were together." But that didn't help as both Yamacha and Maron went off to sulk on a couch. "I never wanted this to happen. I mean how could I have known this would've happened." Bra said as she sat down on the couch horizontal from the couch occupied by Maron and Yamacha. All of a sudden, Yamacha started breaking down in sobs.

"Pull in together!" yelled Maron. "This from a mental health professional." She said addressing Bra and Ken.

"It's not my fault!" Yamacha said in a half moan, half yell. "(Sob) on top of everything else, she took my prozavil, it was in her purse. I'm supposed to take it every 4 hours." "Or what you turn into a basket case?" Maron retorted sarcastically. "No," Yamacha moaned, "just slight medical depressants." He suddenly broke down. "Oh, no, no, no, my life is over!" "Shut up!" Maron yelled as she bitch slapped him upside his cranium.

At this pint Bra didn't know what else to do. "Well um, I don't think there's much more Ken and I can do right now." "Oh no, you have to help us." Said Maron as she left the still sobbing Yamacha. "How can I…?" "I don't know! But you did this. I know you didn't mean to, but you brought them back together, help up get them back." "I have no idea where they are." "Bra, please?" Maron pleaded. Bra didn't know what to say, but didn't have to once Ken signaled to her to come with him for moment. Bra excused herself and followed Ken to the other side of the lobby.

"Do you really think they're coming back Bra?"

"…Uh…um…well… this is not a big problem."

"It is a big deal. Bra, I'm running for Congress, on a family values platform. I can't have some tacky, Hollywood, adultery scandal with my new in-laws; the press will eat it up! Someone has to find them and get them back here quietly before this hits the tabloids."

"I don't think we can. God knows that paparazzi is somewhere close by."

"Then we must get these two home quietly."

The next scene shows us Ken loading up his Lincoln sedan with various bits of luggage, while Maron and Yamacha get in the back seats. Bra is seen standing next to the driver's door.

"I'll be back as soon as I can hire a detective." Ken said as he closed the trunk of his car.

"Ken, I want to go with you."

"No, what if your parents come back? We can't have them be seen together." Ken goes up to Bra and lightly holds her shoulders while he talks. "I'm sorry honey, but this is what being a political wife is all about, damage control." After emphasizing "damage control", Ken seats himself in the driver's seat, closes the door, then looks out his opened window back to Bra. "You do realize how important this is?"

"I know, it's just…this is our honeymoon." Bra said sadly.

"Well think of how much better our honeymoon will be, knowing that I still have a career." He starts up the car. "Love you." He backs the car out of the parking space and promptly heads toward the street. Bra watches as his car begins to blend in with the surrounding traffic before turn back to go back inside the hotel. But once she turns around…

"So," came a teasingly accusing voice. "She ran off didn't she?" Goten said as he walked toward Bra and spat out the gum he was chewing.

Bra was still getting over the slight shock she recieved before answering. "No"

"Then where is she?" he said with a little chuckle

"…I don't have to answer that."

"Oh yeah? Well do you want to know I think?" he didn't allow her time to answer. "I think she ran off with some guy."

"You're delusional."

"Then what's this?" Goten said as he pulled out a small piece of paper from his pocket and started reading. `"Dear Bra, this will make more sense to you when you're with you 2nd husband…"' "What is that?" Bra asked while she tried to make a grab for the paper. "She left you a note at the front desk." "Oh, so you just take it?" "Wouldn't be the first time…so she ran off with Vegeta?" Bra grabbed the paper, looked at it, then back at Goten. "Listen to me," she said in a low threatening voice as she pointed accusingly at him "you are not going to put my parents on the cover of some sleazy tabloid…" "Wait, Vegeta is your dad?" Bra's eyes widened as she soon realized her mistake. "Oh man they're going to love this! I've hit the jackpot!" Goten did a little happy dance before heading towards his van.

"Wait!" Bra said as she ran after Goten. He stopped. "Uh…what is your name?"

"My name? You want to know my name?" at Bra's nod he answered. "It's Goten."

"Well Goten," she paused as she tried to find the right words to say. "You seem to be very talented at finding my mother."

"It's what I do."

"Well…I was wondering, if you could find her for me?"

"…For you?"

"Yes."

"You would be encouraging me to do this?"

"Ah, yes, just this one time."

"You have absolutely no idea where she is do you?" he said with a smile.

"Uh, well, um…yes."

"So, after all the times you guys thrown me out of places, and slammed doors in my face, and shook me out of trees, all of a sudden I'm supposed to, I don't know switch sides!?"

"So it's a matter of money?"

"Oh yeah, 4 bills minimum."

"IE $400?"

"IE? Who says IE?"

"Fine, yes or no?"

"Alright I'm in."

"But no pictures."

"Oh, defiantly not." Goten said as he held on to the Nikon camera he was carrying.

"I mean it! If I see one camera I will smash it! As long as you know that."

Goten put his hands up in defeat, signaling he understood. "Ok, deal?" he said as he stuck put his hand. She shook it, and then they both walked back into the hotel.

A/N: Well now, things are getting interesting. Vegeta and Bulma seemed to have run off to God knows where, and now Bra and Goten are going to track them down. Hope you enjoyed. Review please and until next week.
