Raditsu came to visit his best friend two days after his discovery who he really was. The older boy could understand that it was hard to grow into that role but up until now Bejita seemed to master quite well. Everyone had expected him to flip but he was perfectly calm about it like he had known something like this would happen all along. Still Raditsu thought it would do his friend good to go out a bit and get a little distraction. He had heard about a big party in a town not far away from a friend. A few of his classmates planed to go there and invited him to come as well. It was not often that an event like that took place in this area and everyone wanted to be there for it of cause. That's why he was there. He slowly made his way up to the younger teens room.

"Hi Bejita." he said while entering the room. Nothing seemed out of order expect that it seemed all to perfect to be true. He instantly knew his friend was hiding something and most likely it was that he could not handle it as well as everyone seemed to believe. Raditsu did understand that! He would not have been able to just take everything like Bejita pretended to do.

The younger boy was startled when his friend walked through the door. He had not noticed him approaching, something that rarely happened to him. "Hey. Special reason you're here?" he asked since it was far too early for Raditsu to come visit him. Normally he would only do so later in the evening not at lunch time. Something was up.

"To tell you the truth, yes. There's this big party tonight and I wanted to ask you if you're going to come along. I'm sure it will be great." he said hopefully. Bejita was not one to go out often but it would do him good not to sit alone all the time. Raditsu knew why his friend didn't like crowded placed and it was kinda obvious given he was not normal but that did not mean he couldn't have fun once in a while. "I'm driving!" was his last comment on the matter.

Bejita seemed to consider the offer. It had been quite a while since he had gone partying last. "Fine. I'll come with you." he answered at last. Nothing would happened and he should just stop worrying so much. Maybe he would even have fun there or meet someone. Well, even if he would meet someone nothing would come out of it he was sure. Still he often hoped for someone to pop out of nowhere and understand what he was going through. The problem was that most likely nothing like this was going to happen. "What time do you want to drive there?" he at least asked more or less interested.

"Well. I guess seven would be a good time. It will be crowded if we go any later. Fine with you?" he answer his friends question. He was really glad that he decided to come. Normally he would have had to go alone and when it normally did not bother him today it did. He wanted his friend to forget about all the stress at least for one night.

"Fine with me. I'll be over at your house by then." he confirmed glad it was nearly time for lunch now. He always did eat much but it never showed. His guess was that it had something to do with him being Saiyajin and it was the part he liked most about being abnormal.

After lunch Bejita started thinking about the night to come. Raditsu was long gone now and he now doubted that he made the right choice. There were reasons he hated to go out. At parties like that there were always a whole lot of people and in his opinion someone was bound to notice that he was different. He did not really understand how he was able to hide his tail so long and he thought there had to be someone to notice it. Raditsu was for some reason never concerned about being discovered. He tended to say that most humans were stupid and would not believe it even if they noticed. In a way Bejita did believe he was right but still he was very careful. Maybe it was a treat he got from his real parents.

The party was quite lame and Bejita did not really enjoy himself. He kept looking around the crowd for people he knew until he spotted an intriguing woman. She had dark blue hair and quite a petite figure. She did not seem all that extraordinary except of cause her hair but to him she was something special. It seemed she was arguing with the boy that had organized the party – or at least that was what Bejita remembered Raditsu telling him earlier when they had arrived. If he remembered right his name was Yamucha. He was too far away to hear much of their argument but he thought they had to be somehow involved because when the boy turned away and started to snog a blond girl the blue haired women seemed more angry than before. He decided he would try to talk to her to find out more. Maybe they had broken up and he had a chance – somehow he just felt drawn to the girl he did not even know the name of.

"Hi, I'm Bejita. What's your name?" he asked her approaching. Sure it was quite a lame way to start up a conversation with a girl he was interested but normally that did not matter much since his looks could win every girl he ever would want so he rarely bothered to be creative. Another point was that he did not want to make a fool out of himself should she have a boyfriend.

The girl eyed suspiciously but answered anyway. "Buruma. Pleased to meet you." she answered extending her hand for him to shake. After all it could not hurt to get to know new people she thought. She liked the way the boy looked but still she did want to watch what her ex-boyfriend was going to do next. She was not sure what was more interesting though.

"Who was the guy you were talking to earlier?" Bejita mustered the courage to ask after debating with himself if that would be a good question to ask. He was pleased to see the girl actually laugh at that. His guess was that the boy was not her boyfriend after all but hope dies last, right?

Buruma was surprised he would ask but she was quite pleased with that. She might be able to get to know the guy and still watch her ex-boyfriend. "He is my ex. We have been together about a year ago and I got to know he was cheating on this current girlfriend as well as he had been on me. I tried to talk some sense into him but he is bound to get caught and I don't want her to get hurt. Zoe, his girlfriend, is a good friend of mine." the girl answered still watching the boy she had talked to earlier. She wondered if he could somehow be related to Zoe. He looked quite like a male version of her friend.

"So mind me watching with you then? Anything else here is quite boring." he said relieved that the girl did not seem to have a boyfriend after all. At least he hoped that was the case. What he said had been true though. There really was not much else to do for him at this party.

The girl had to suppress a smile. "I would not mind at all." she answered. The boy seemed a bit forward but nice after all. Maybe it would not be one of those boring parties after all. Normally she did not enjoy herself much on such events but today might be different after all. If everything went over well she might even get a chance to test her theory about him and Zoe being related.

They kept watching the boy, whose name really was Yamucha as Bejita learnt, and the blond girl Buruma didn't know the name of. It seemed to go on for hours before they were interrupted by a girl with long black hair. That was all Bejita was able to see of her. His guess was that this must have been the girlfriend Buruma had told him about earlier because she seemed rather upset about the picture she was presented with. The girl was dragged into a room by Yamucha and they decided to wait a few minutes before interfering. They had watched the door the couple had disappeared behind for at least fifteen minutes when they saw a boy stopping in front of it and breaking it down. Buruma was instantly worried and rushed to see what was happening. Bejita made to follow but was held up by Raditsu who asked him if he enjoyed himself so he could only watch from afar what was happening.

Buruma made her way through the room to get to her friend as fast as possible. When she was at the door he saw Jun exit with an unconscious Zoe in his arm. "What is wrong Jun? What happened in there?" he asked the boy who was a good friend of her and Zoe.

"Yamucha tried to rape her." he explained shortly with a look of great concern in his eyes. "I'll take her to my place for now until she wakes up. You can come by tomorrow? She'll need all the comfort she can get once she wakes up." he asked her expecting her to say yes.

"I'll try to come by yes." Buruma answered before she watched him rushing out of the house with her friend in his arms. She knew he would take care of her. Not many people knew but she was among the few that had always seen that those two were meant for each other. To her it was obvious that Jun loved the girl with all his heart and she knew for a fact that Zoe had been in love with him for a long time now. She wanted to make her way home soon but before she left she said good bye to the boy she had gotten to know tonight and gave him her number hoping he would call.
