Chapter 1: Pan has a Suitor?

*ding dong*

The doorbell to the Son's house rang. Gohan hesitantly made his way towards the door. Sighing inwardly, he reached to open the door. Videl then approached him from the side, resting her hand on his shoulder.

"It'll be fine, Gohan. It's about time." She said, reassuring her husband.

"I know, I know," Gohan responded, sounding displeased.

"It's just so hard to let her go like this," He continued, unhappily.

And with that, Gohan opened the door.

"'Evening, Trunks."

″You liar, ″ He spoke, and continued,

″You're in love with me.″ He said to the black-haired girl.

″I am in love with you, ″ she admitted through tears.

″You're stupid, selfish, and self-centered. I've fallen in love with-″ and before she could say another word, he wrapped both his arms around her tightly embracing her, not wanting to let her go. He pulled back, only to move hair out of her face with his hand, and kissed her.

"AWWWW, KAMIIII SAAMAAAAA! No matter how different dramas I see, no matter how many times, this is hands down the best ending to a show!" Bra explained, as the ending credits started to roll.

"Wasn't that nice, Pan...Pan?" Bra asked to Pan who was blankly staring at the screen streaming the drama.

"Eh?" Pan zoned back in, staring tiredly at Bra.

"Did you miss the ending, Pan? Ughhh, now I have to replay the last part of the episode again!" Bra huffed, moving her hand towards her television remote.

"WHAT? No way Bra," Pan said, slapping Bra's hand away.

"I just had a non-stop Hana Yori Dango drama marathon with you and you want to replay it? I'm exhausted!" Pan whined, sounding snappy. Pan had just spent the past 12 hours unwillingly staring at her best friend's rather large TV screen and it was really starting to get to her.

"It was worth it though," Bra said, causing a faint laugh to come from Pan.

"What's so funny?" Bra pouted.

"Okay, if you think watching hours on end of a romantic comedy drama—full of sap, might I mention—with no sleep, then fine, it was fun...I guess."

"Pan, don't be dissing me and my dramas!" Bra spoke, getting upset.

"What are you talking about, Bra? I like dramas that are cheese, only I like things in moderation, unlike *cough* you *cough*."

"Oh, well alright!" Bra grinned, instantly lightening her mood.

"I guess this whole thing wouldn't be fun alone. Thanks for staying over Pan!" She said as she tightly hugged Pan, and she hugged her back.

"Oi, I'm soooo tired, Bra!" She said yawning, then instantly collapsing on Bra's bed with Bra soon following after. Before long though, Pan abruptly awoke from her rather comfortable slumber.

"Bra! Wake up Bra!" Pan shook her friend to wake her up.

"What, what, what is it?" Bra said, shooting up off her bed.

"Ahhh, Dende, what time is it?" Pan said, squirming around to find the whereabouts of her phone.

"Oh no," Pan gasped, staring at her dimly lit phone screen.

"I have to get going, Bra. I totally forgot I had to be home today!" Pan cried worriedly.

"First tell me what the big deal is. Why so uneasy, Pan-nee-chan?" Her friend questioned.

"A suitor! My mom and dad said a suitor's coming to see my family today! Oh Kami-sama, I'm screwed!" It was true; the young Son Pan was to get married fully at her parents' request. Pan thought after all the unsuccessful attempts of rebelling from her parents, that it'd be best to do what pleased her folks for once. Pan had changed her ways. She didn't want to become some burden upon her parents, and she felt that it had become her duty to please others around her. There was no more trying to impress people—even if it was what she strived for the majority of her life.

"A suitor you say?" Bra said, taking in her words. She wasn't surprised. Videl, and Gohan especially had been strict and proper with Pan. Now that Pan had successfully graduated high school and finished two full years of university, her parents could finally put her in her place by marrying her off. Bra thought it wasn't like Pan to simply comply with her parents' requests, especially for a deal like marriage. Although Pan had been an outgoing and daring girl, she had unquestionably become more feminine and lady-like over the years. Bra appreciated the fact that Pan had grown into a woman because she was able to relate more to her, but at the same time missed the kid in her who tried to be the best at everything—how Pan always competed with everyone; not caring about their seniority or knowledge.

Pan hastily brushed her waist length hair and tied it up into a bun, and ran her hands down her clothes to try and soften out any wrinkles in it. She prayed to Dende that the man coming to her house would be late, so she could at least fix herself up. Her hair was messily tied up, and she had on a large oversized t-shirt with tight-training shorts underneath. She really did look like the daughter of Videl Satan, although her face could almost be claimed as her grandmother Chi-Chi-'s. Pan was a petite girl. She was slender with a somewhat small frame, and Pan thought that the worst feature about her was her height…or lack of it.

"Okay, well I have to go now Bra. Text you or something, okay?" Pan said, hurriedly, putting on her shoes, ready to step out of the window to fly back home. But before Pan could step a foot out of Bra's bedroom window, she was instantly pulled back by Bra's arm.

"You wait one second, Pan Son! I am definitely not missing out on a chance to see your possible future husband." She smirked.

"H-hey!" Pan yelled at Bra, flustered.

"It's not like I'm going to get engaged or something when I see them! I don't even know if the guy is good looking, or his name for that matter!" She continued.

"Plus, you'll just make me even more late. You either get dressed within less than five minutes or I'm out of here." Pan stated.

"Sure thing!" Bra agreed, getting ready in just less than about 3 minutes. Bra had actually looked decent for dressing in under five minutes, or at least she looked much better than Pan had at the moment. Bra threw on a short, fitted black dress printed with roses, paired with some simple gold jewelry and a pair of cute black flats. Really, Bra had never failed to impress when it came to dressing.

"Gahhh, you look great, Bra!" Pan sobbed.

"Anyways, let's get going!" Pan continued. And with that, the saiya-jin girls left to Mt. Paozu.

5:45. Gohan fidgeted with his hands impatiently. Where was his daughter? Pan's 'lucky suitor' had arrived at 5:30 and Pan was nowhere to be seen. He hadn't even felt her ki close by. The silence in the house was getting to be awkward. Gohan and Videl unnervingly sat on a sofa across from Trunks. Trunks also looked very uncomfortable with the situation. Gohan noticed he was staring at trunks whilst he was aswell. Gohan smiled sheepily at Trunks, then continued to dwell in the awkwardness.

"Where is Pan?" Gohan turned, whispering aside to Videl, who was just as tense as her husband.

"If I knew, we wouldn't be in this predicament." She harshly whispered back. A few minutes later, Gohan and Trunks sensed two familiar ki's approaching. They awkwardly smiled at one another; exchanging some nervous laughs here and there.

"Why are you and Trunks laughing like that? Your and trunks' lack of comfort is starting to worry me quite a bit…" Videl said quietly.

"It's Pan, I feel her energy coming towards the house." He whispered back to his wife.

"FINALLY!" Videl said, yelling out as loud as possible.

"S-sorry. It just kind of slipped out, ehe." Videl said to the demi-saiyans.

"Ha-hahaha, it's alright," Trunks smiled back to the two and began his previous nervous chuckle. Not knowing what to do in this current situation Videl and Gohan joined in, forcing nervous, awkward and uncomfortable laughs out. The laughing came to a sudden stop when they saw Pan and Bra enter the room.

"Mama, Papa! I'm hoooome," Pan began, waving to her parents.

"Oh, Trunks! What're you doing over? Wait, hold that thought. Right now I have to get ready since we're expecting company soon." And with that, pan bolted straight upstairs to her room, leaving Bra alone in the Son family room with her best friend's parents and her brother.

"Good evening, Videl-san, Gohan-san." Bra greeted kindly, bowing her head to Pan's parents and then taking a seat beside her brother.

"So, what're you doing here, Trunks? You know Pan can't really hang out or spar right now…she has a suitor coming over!" She told him like it had been a confidential matter, causing a faint snicker from Videl.

"What is with everyone laughing here? I don't see anything particularly funny around!" Bra moped, getting frustrated.

"Well the suitor, it's Trunks. He's here for Pan." Gohan explained with a straight face.

"Hahahaha, so THAT was the big joke? You guys are fooling Pan or something by saying 'you have to marry Trunks'? So, there isn't really someone coming over to ask for Pan's hand in marriage?" Bra questioned. She was relieved for Pan's sake but at the same time was sad for not being able to see a future possible spouse of Pan's.

"No, I think you're misunderstanding. What Gohan said was true. Pan is going to possibly marry Trunks." Videl corrected Bra.

"You can't be serious!" Bra started laughing loudly. No way would she believe that her best friend was seriously going to be forced into marriage with her brother. The whole situation was too exaggerated for some joke. But no one was laughing with Bra. The whole room was absolutely silent, with Bra being an exception.

"Wait…uhm, so you guys are saying, th-that…seriously...y-you are…Pan is…w-wait," Bra paused, soaking in what Videl had just said. Gohan was serious…in literal terms; Pan was to be married to her brother?

"OH MY KAMI SAMA, YOU'RE SERIOUS?!" Bra screamed in shock and realization of what she just learned.

"T-that mean-nns, Trunks is…Pan will…OH DENDE, PAN HAS TO MARRY MY BROTHER! I HAVE TO GO TELL HER!" Bra exclaimed, hurriedly. She was about to get up, but was instantly pulled down by Trunks.

"Bra!" Trunks harshly whispered to his sister. The best thing to do at the moment was to keep Bra quiet, or else mayhem as bound to happen. Bra Briefs was known to have had a bad reputation when it came to keeping secrets, and on top of that, she'd often exaggerate things, over exaggerate things.

"B-b-but, nii-san!" Bra whined, her arm struggling from her brother's grip. It was going to be a long, treacherous, and uncomfortable wait until Pan arrived.

Meanwhile, Pan was all washed up and hadn't the slightest idea of what her attire would be.

"Hmmn, what to wear," Pan said, scavenging through her closet. She had about nothing distinctly feminine looking in her wardrobe and cursed herself for this…that was, until she reached into the dark of her closet.

"Well, it's only for this one time…how can it be? " She sighed inwardly, looking at the short little dress she held in her hands.

She was almost there. The three saiya-jins could feel her approaching. Just a few more seconds. In just moments, the excruciating wait—and not to mention everyone's uneasiness— would disappear.

"PAN SON, WHERE IN DENDE'S NAME ARE YOU?" Videl screamed at the top her lungs.

"Boo!" Pan said, approaching from behind her mother, and instantly making her jump.

"Pan-chan, don't scare your mother like that. You know she doesn't like it when you sneak up on her." Gohan said to his daughter, only emitting laughter from her.

"So, is spouse and co. not here yet?" Pan asked.

"Yes, Pan, he's here." Both Gohan and Videl said in unision.

"…I don't see anyone…" Pan admitted then sitting on the couch, beside the Briefs.

"Uhm, How do you put this, Pan…" Videl said, struggling to get her words out.

"..." Gohan also tried to word it simply and politely, but not a word would come out of his mouth as soon as he opened it.

"Mama, Papa, what are you trying to say?" Pan said, in a concerned tone.

"Oh dende, Pan! They want you to marry Trunks!" Bra blurted, and then clasped her mouth shut with her hands after she noticed what she'd just said.

"Heh," Pan uttered an almost inaudible giggle, which transitioned disruptive, loud laughs.

"…Pan-chan, you're not upset?" Gohan said, completely unsure of why she was laughing, yet beginning to be relieved that she didn't panic.

"Well, yeah, I'm kind of upset that you guys would play such a nasty trick on me by making me get ready for this and believing that someone was actually coming to possibly marry me but, nope not really." Pan said, whitening everyone's faces around her as she did so.

"Oh Kami-sama, I can't take this anymore! Pa—" Bra started but was immediately cut off by Trunks.

"What she was saying, is that Pan, we're really sorry for playing this prank on you, and yeah." Trunks finished.

"Hmm, well okay, but you guys should know the 1st of April was like two weeks ago so I don't know why you're all still hung up on pranking and—"

"No, Pan-nee chan, he's lying!" Bra said, finally getting out of her brother's grip.

"Huh?" Pan said, scrunching her face in confusion.

"GOHAN SAN AND VIDEL SAN ARE TELLING THE TRUTH! YOU AND TRUNKS-NII-SAN HAVE TO MARRY EACHOTHER!" Bra screamed to Pan, shaking her violently.

"….uh…" Pan began, trying to make sense of what Bra had just said. She looked down, staring at her feet for a moment then looked up to face her parents.

"Wait, what…what did you want me to do?" She said calmly, asking her parents.

There's the first chapter! I don't particularly like author's notes, so I'll make sure to keep them short & always include them at the end of the chapter(meaning you can basically skip this babble of words). This story is canon-based (besides the ages, as well as DBGT *BECAUSE GT IS TECHNICALLY NOT CANON SO NO FURTHER REFERENCES OF GT PAST THIS POINT), meaning no 'alternate-universe', 'original-character', or 'out-of-character' themes. As for any things you may be confused about, the story itself will answer /almost/ all your questions (like; What is the age difference between my pannni chan and toranksuuu kun, OR will there be _ ship within the story pretty please because I live off of my otps?) Anyways, feel free to message, add a review /maybeprettypleaselmaoooI'monlyjoking/ and I hope you've enjoyed!~
