Bras' emotional journey
BY: Faye_Valentine00
"Yeah, yeah. Love you too sweetie." With that he hung up the phone and walked towards the door.
Knock, knock, knock. A smile spread acroos his face wondering which of his ladies had come to see him this time. The smile fell slightly when he saw that is was just Bra. "
"Is Bra here?" Now at 20 yrs old, Bra had lond aquamarine hair, the color of Bulmas and she wore it high on her head in a ponytail. When she realized who answered the door, her smile shone even brighter. "Oh... hi Goten. How are you?
"Oh... hi Bra. Ummm. yeah Pan is running around here somewhere. Come on in. Gotta run, see you later." Without even turning around, he walked out the door.
Bras heart fell slightly as she saw him fly off. Why was he always so cold to her? Their families are so close yet everytime I try to strike up a conversation, he is so distant or he has a date or an appointment with my brother. But it is always something. Just thinking of his smile, that black hair... actually just thinking of him in general made her smile.
"Bra? Hey, Are you okay?" When she snapped out of her daydream, Pan was waving a hand in front oif her eyes. Immediatly, Bra turned bright red. "oh Dende Bra... Are you thinking about my uncle again?! You are hopeless." Both girls erupted into giggles but Bras was halfhearted. She just could not get her mind off of Goten.
Pan graabed Bras arm and pulled her down the hall to her room. "We have to get ready, or the boys will think we stood them up."
"BOYS?! Oh Dende." She had totally forgotten about their double dates with Dan and Craig.
"Bra. Here try this outfit on." Pan tossed Bra a tight red leather dress and large red boots that come to her knees. After both girls were dressed and ready to go, Pan checked the hallway for her parent... just in case. About half way down the hallway, they were stopped dead in their tracks by a low voice behind them. "Where are you two off two?"
Pans faced dropped as she turned around to see Gohan no less then 5 feet behind them. Bra forced a bright smile. "Hello Gohan."
Just then Videl rounded the corner behind Gohan and she placed a hand on his shoulder, whispering something in his ear. Suddenly Gohans face fell. "Okay Pan, you are 21 yrs old and I know you know well but don;t you think a little more clothing would be nice." Videl jabbed him in the ribs.
The girls both looked at each other, both in little dresses and high boots.
"But Dad, we will be fine."
"Bra, Please do not tell your father I let you go out like that." Gohans face was once of total defeat.
Pan ran to each of her parents giving them quick kissed but then graabed Bras arm dragging her out the door before they changed their mids.
The time was nearing 11:30 and about half an hour ago, pna and Dan had gone off to "be alone," leaving Jim and Bra to walk alone in the park and talk. While standing by a stream, Jim reached a hand over and pulled Bra near but as he touched her, a shiver went down her spine. Her entire body tensed and she immediatly began to realize how uncomfortable he made her feel. Now being Vegitas daughter and Trunks' sister, she knew how to take care of herself but this guy still creeped her out.
When he tried to pull her in closer, she pulled away and steppde out of his grasp. "Whats wrong Bra?"
"Umm. Nothing. I just... I mean... this just doesn't feel right. I think I just need to head home." When she began to walk way, she was suddenly grabbed by the arm and spun around. Before she realized what was happening, she was restrained by both arms.
"Let me GO!!!" Bra screamed.
"Whats wrong Bra? You surly didn't think that cute little rich girl Bra would come out tonight all dressed up and not give so much as a goodnight kiss?"
Bra was shocked. "Let me go NOW!" After several seconds of just trying to shake him off, she snapped. Out of reflex from fighting off Trunks and Vegita for so many years, she lashed out with a right fist and he went flying,
All Bra could think about was running. She just needed to get away. She could have flown but decided to take time to think. Why do I always get these jerks. A tear fell sliently down her cheek as she walked towards the capsule corp. headquarters.
Suddenly remembering her outfit, her heart sank, She sat down on a nearby park bench as the etears began to flow. I can't go home like this. My father would kill me. And trunks... he would ask a million and one questions. What am I gonna do? The tears began to stain her face and people had begun to stare. She reached up grabbing her ponytail holder, letting her hair fall over her face. It didn't matter anymore. I bet Pans date is going great. Why is it always me that...
"Bra? Is that you?" A familiar voice inturrupted her thoughts of self-pity. She looked up to him not believing that he could possibly be here. Then the realization set in and she wipped her face as good as she could but her make upwas still running all down her face. "Yes Goten. It is me."
Without saying a word, he removed his jacket and laid it over her bare shoulders before he sat down next to her. "Mind if I join you?"
"Don't you have a date or something!? I would hate to interrupt your night!" Her voice came out in a harsh and accusong tone. after a brief paused she realized how she had spoken to him after he had tried to be very nice to her. "I am sorry Goten. I didn't mean it."
He shook his head and just frowned. "Well... she took off about an hour ago when my other girlfriend showed up."
"Sorry."
After a long silence, Goten turned to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Are you okay?" After several minutes, she turned to him with tears still falling down her cheeks. "I think so now." Since he had come to her on the street a few minutes earlier, her heart seemed calmer. He made her feel so safe a secure. Why was that?
Suddenly he reached a hand to her face a gently wiped away a tear. "What happened tonight Bra? He reached up a hand to the strap of her dress to show it was torn and dirty. She snuggled closer into the jacket Goten had given her and sighed. "Well... sniif, sniff..."
After she had told Goten the whole story of the night, she just leaned into Goten shoulder and sobbed. He tensed at first not used to having Bra so close but then he relaxed and wrapped his arms around her to comforrt her. He softly stroked her hair and just let her calm down in slience but what was this sudden urge to see her happy again. She was always like a little sister to him. I mean this is his best friends little sister. The longer he held her in his arms, the more his heart began to race.
"Goten?"
"yes."
"What do you think of me? I mean really?"
"Wh-What do you mean?" He stampered.
"I mean as a man. Do I just look easy or like a rich little brat? Do Men think I am a fool. I know I am not like my mother but sniff But... but..." She looked up to him searching his eyes for an answer.
"Bra... you are beautiful."
Her breath caught in her chest as he spoke. "Why then, Why does everyone treat me like second best?"
Suddenenly for the first time in Gotens life, he didn't have to search for a compliment. For Bra the words just seemed to flow so natural to him. Why? He had never even looked at her twice before. Why was tonight so different. "Those guys are scum Bra. All you need is someone who knows how sweet and inteeligent you really are." Before he knew it, they were nearly nose to nose gazing into each others eyes.
"Do you mean that Goten?" She searched his eyes even more.
"Yes." His heart was pounding. He had never been affected by anyone like this before. Why Bra!? She like family to me... but not anymore. Goten lanedover slowly, his lips touching hers, so gently, yet so deeply.
"BRA!" Time suddenly froze as Goten and Bra turned the voice looking like 2 deers in headlights.
"V-Vegita-sama!" Goten stampered.
