The Object Of My Obsession
The sun shone brightly over the manicured lawn behind Capsule Corp. Bulma had
decided to throw a barbecue in honor of her child and soon to be son-in-law. Mostly all of the Z-
Senshi had attended the function, and they couldn't have asked for a better day. The sun was
warm, but not blazing. The breeze was calm and the bugs were at bay. I had arrived a little late
so I greeted Bulma at the picnic table near the grill. Bulma smiled and hugged me as I sat down
next to her. "Isn't this all exciting, Pan" she said, choked with pride. I scanned the area. Every
available tree had been decorated with wedding bells and white ribbons. I smiled at her and held
her hand. "It sure is. Hey, where is Bra?" Bulma pointed off into the distance, where everyone
usually spars. "She's over there with her brother...I doubt she's actually fighting him though," she
laughed. She looked down at the ground and smiled, as if a fond memory had found its way into
the lush grass. I leaned over to her, a little concerned. As I got into her rage of sight, she awoke
from her trance and smiled at me. "How quick children grow up," she said, almost to herself. I
had the feeling she wasn't sitting by herself for nothing, so I decided to go look for Bra. "Well,
I'm going to go talk to Bra. I'll be back to get something to eat." A small smile ran across her
face that developed into a chuckle. "I know you will…you Saiya-jins and your eating habits." I
stood up and waved, then left for the large field just south of the picnic area.
I arrived at the sparring area, finding Bra and Trunks sitting next to an old willow tree. It was
missing many leaves and branches, scarred from the many battles fought around it, but it hadn't
lost its charm. It was the spot Trunks and myself always ran away to when we wanted to be
alone. I didn't really mind him telling his sister about it. After all, we're all best friends.
"Niisan," I yelled at Trunks. He peered around the wide trunk of the tree and smiled. Bra looked
around as well and came running towards me. She hadn't cut her hair in years, and it followed
behind her in silvery-blue ribbons. She stopped a couple of feet in front of me. She placed her
hand on her knees and panted while Trunks flew into the scene. He landed right beside her and
helped her stand up. You would never know the girl had Saiya-jin blood running through her
veins, but you had to love her. "I've always told you to work out more, Bra. Look at how out-of
shape you are." She gave him the evil eye and stood up tall, as if all her energy had been
restored. "That was not a very nice thing to say, Trunks. I am in perfect shape," she said, folding
her arms. "Yeah," I added, "…perfectly round." Trunks and I broke out in hysterical laughter as
Bra chased us around the trees. Of course, she didn't catch us and after a few minutes, she gave
up. All three of us sat under the willow tree, looking at the small lake further down the hill.
The late afternoon sun shone brightly in front of us, but the wispy leaves of the tree kept its rays
off our skin. A breeze blew past, making the leaves sway, catching the light and almost
appearing to make it sparkle. I let out a big sigh and looked to either side of me. Bra was to my
left and Trunks was to my right. It wasn't often we got a chance to share moments like this
anymore, with me finishing college, Bra in grad school and Trunks running Capsule Corps. This
would definitely go in my mental Rolodex under 'The Most Wonderful Moments of My Life'. I
looked over at Bra, she was watching the birds fly off into the distance. I leaned near her ear and
whispered, "You must be excited, with the wedding being only three weeks away." Bra smiled
and turned her head toward me. "Yes. Goten and I have it all planned out. I can't believe it took
him so long to finally ask the 'Big Question'. I nodded and looked back out to the lake. The
sunlight was sparkling off of it, making it a pool of glitter. "I'm surprised, too. It's not like the
relationship was a secret or anything," I added, still transfixed by the water. "Well, then again,
it's only been recently that those type of marriages were legal." Bra sat up straight and put her
arms behind her head. I didn't move, not wanting to wake Trunks. "Fifteen years together…I
can't believe it's finally happening," she said smiling.
Trunks began to stir and put his arms behind me and wrapped it around my waist. I didn't know
how long he had been awake, but he seemed to be in a good mood. "Talking about my wedding
without me," he said in a quite voice. Bra, seemingly struck by lightning, sat straight up and
looked over at Trunks. "No! You weren't supposed to hear anything. Goten is going to kill me!"
Trunks stood up with his arm still around my waist. I reluctantly got up, preparing to be the
peacemaker in the pending debate. "So, what kinda tux is he going to wear, I need to know," he
whined, jokingly of course. Bra shook her finger at her bother then turned her back to him.
"You'll find out when he walks down the isle." I couldn't help but to laugh. Trunks was just
acting way too cute. I liked that about him, he's never to old to fool around. Soon, they had
begun arguing around me while he kept a hold of my waist as he switched from one side to the
other. I swayed along with the argument, not that I had a choice with his hands gripped firmly at
my hips. For some reason, I felt a warmth when he touched me…a feeling I hadn't noticed
before. But, there wasn't much time to think about that, the wedding was in three weeks.
Well, did I do a good job of keeping which of Bulma's children was getting married to Goten? I
hope I did. Well, what's going to happen during the next three week? I think things will get
rather interesting, with Pan discovering this new feeling. Could it possibly be love? The next
installment should be up soon.
