Notes/Warnings/What are you to find in this fic/chapter:
· P/? Find it out yourself! Don't let the first chapter/s fool you! *MBWAHAHAHA!!!* (evil laugh)
· If I'm not mistaken, the Sons are supposed to live in the East side of the world, and the Briefs family in the West side of the world. There are no countries and stuff (we can figure it out as we can see that there is only one President in the whole DB story: The President of The World). But, even though they're living in different parts of the world, I figured that it is natural for them to still contact/meet each other as if they live near because of their flying ability.
· I'm hoping to make two versions of endings. So, in the later chapters, I might make a story split. Please watch to which chapter should you continue from one chapter to another according to the version you'd like.
· This fic contains LEMON. If you think you can handle that, and responsible enough, go ahead. I'm not gonna say, 'Kids, go away!' or, '17+ only!' or stuff. Just be damn sure you're responsible enough.
· I'm still new at writing, especially LEMON. I don't usually write it (I don't have the guts to write the details. It's too embarrassing for me to write it down. *Gosh!*). So, please forgive me if this fanfic turns out to be a dissatisfaction, which I hopefully not.
Japanese terms:
Kaa-san/Okaa-san: mother
Tou-san/Otou-san: father
! Please read the notes, especially the second and third points (in blue), before beginning to read the whole fic, thank you. It's very important that you do.
Her Play
Prologue
So, there she was, the little chaotic angel who had always been like a little sister to me. She waved her hand as she finally saw me. The 15 year old girl's smile was somehow wicked. Yes, her eyes still shone that fiery spirit of hers. But somehow, I didn't feel that I could describe her as 'chaotic angel' as I had said earlier anymore. 'Chaotic', I knew she still was, just as I had always known her as a tomboy. But, 'angel'? Maybe, maybe not.
"Hi, Pan-chan! How was the flight?"
"Great," she said, "The meal was awesome!"
I couldn't help but laugh. "It's always the meal with you, isn't it?"
She replied with a short laugh and a smile, "You know me!"
Yeah, I chatted the necessary things with her, while helping her with all of those suitcases. Things hadn't changed too much except for a thing or two, she said. So, my sister was still pestering with Kaa-san and Tou-san back in Capsule Corps. Goten was still the goof-off job-wanderer guy trying to survive life in this material world. Or, maybe not, since all he needed was food, and Chichi would be able to provide him that.
Speaking of Chichi, the usually devastated house wife had finally been brought back with her husband again. He had disappeared, as we all knew, but then he showed up again out of nowhere. Chichi was glad and happy, until he started to be missing again from home for a few days. Gohan searched for him and he came upon a small village. There he was, smiling his cheesy grin saying, "Hi, Gohan! You remember Uubu, don't you? I decided to pay him a visit and start training with him again."
Since Gohan was such an obedient son, as he remembered his mother ordered, "You better find him quick, and then drag him back in here, in his home, and make sure he never goes anywhere far from us ever again!" and because it seemed that Goku was too fond of the whole everyday-training with Uubu, he made a deal with Goku, Uubu, Uubu's parents, and lastly, Chichi. His deal was simply that Goku had to come back to his home with Chichi, and for Uubu to live with them, so that Goku needn't to be away from home. Sure it meant more food to provide with, which was something financial to think about, but Gohan could cover it up. Gohan also promised Uubu's parents a great formal education for the supposedly junior-high school boy.
"This is your car, right?" she stopped her story for a while, having came upon a stop in front of my car. I confirmed, put all of her belongings in the baggage, and some in the back seat, get both of us in the car, and drove off from the airport as she continued on.
So, Uubu went to the same junior-high as Gohan and Goten did. He also became friends with Kurilin's kid, Marron, my sister, and her. Chichi soon became fond of the boy as well as her husband already was, since Uubu proved to be a very fast learning and intelligent student in school. As a matter of fact, everybody became fond of him. The Z-senshi really liked him as a sparring partner. Chichi liked him because he was smart. Bulma liked him because he was helpful around the lab. Girls in his school really liked him too because they thought of him as nice and a gentleman, which they didn't know he was actually only shy and clueless.
"I think Bra and Marron had a fuss about him once," she said, placing her hand near the corner of her lips in a way as if she was whispering some hot gossip to a friend.
I chuckled at that. "Is that so?"
"Yeah… I think it was something like that," she lazed off on the car-seat, making her arms her pillow. "But they didn't quarrel for long. They come to a good sense that friends weren't supposed to fight over crushes, and they soon each found their own guys to lure. Boy, it was like hell being in the middle of their quarrel. I knew they were going to get over him in a month, find new guys to drool over, make 'em their boyfriends for 2, 3, or 4 months, break up, and so on, and so on."
I chuckled some more hearing such comment from her. "And, how 'bout you?" I asked.
"Huh? Whaddaya mean?" she looked at me clueless.
"Well, you. You're life, you're school, boyfriend, etc."
She frowned at the mention of 'boyfriend'. "Well… it's been just fine with me. Kaa-san and Tou-san had been spoiling me a little bit too much though. My grades are great, I mean, I get this whole scholarship thing, don't I? Well, maybe not exactly a scholarship, but more like an invitation. Being able to go to a very famous school without having to pay for the great education. Although it's a shame that the program doesn't give much when it comes to the whole accommodation and pocket money. That's where you come in handy," she added the last sentence teasingly. "But anyway, I should be grateful enough I got accepted. It's everybody's international-rated-dream-school. I know my friends had been envious about this. And, oh… as for boyfriend… um… I don't have one right now."
"Oh, I thought you had one."
"I did. But, I broke him up."
"Really? Why? When? After how long?"
"Um… the reason's kinda private, sorry. It was last month. We had been going out for about… 5 or 6 months. Geez… you sound like you're interrogating me or something."
"Oh, sorry," I quickly apologized, noting a sound of nuisance from her. I added a smile, which said my questions had meant no harm.
"It's okay. So, how 'bout you? How's your girlfriend?"
Ouch. I hoped she hadn't asked me that. "Um, we broke up 2 weeks ago. We weren't getting along very well."
"What?!" her tone of voice became very enthusiastic. "But, I thought you guys were great together. I've seen her once when you brought her to meet us once, at the picnic last summer, and I must say that everybody agreed with me. Well, except your father, but he didn't count."
I only gave her a slight smile. "Well, Pan-chan, sometimes things just don't work out fine."
She relaxed back at my words, eyes simply looking far to nowhere. "Yeah, I guess you're right."
The conversation went on. In no time, we arrived at the door of my place. My maid greeted us. And then she helped with Pan's suitcases.
"Thanks for letting me stay here, Trunks. I knew you're place would be great. Tou-san and I didn't find the accommodation quite satisfying, and then Bulma-san offered help. I know that I could've just use some jet-transportation to get me to that school and back home everyday, but it would be such a waste of time the way I see it. And I don't think people would appreciate some flying girl passing by each day. Besides, even if nobody would notice me flying, how am I supposed to explain my location to those would-be-curious-ones in school? I'm sorry for being such a burden."
"No, it's no problem at all. We're like family, right? So, it's my duty to be of help. C'mon, I'll show you around so you'll get familiar with the place."
I led her around the house, mentoring her on each detail. It was a two storey house, but it wasn't much of a big place. After all, it was built to be lived by me, and only me. It had two extra bedrooms though, for the guests. The base floor had a reading room, a small bathroom near a living room, and a dining room. The dining room was connected to a kitchen and the kitchen was connected to a laundry room. There was no room for the maid, since the maid only came early in the morning to cook and clean, and leave in the afternoon after all the housework were done.
I led her upstairs. There were three bedrooms. One of 'em was mine. Each bedroom had its own bathrooms. My bedroom was connected to a small office, which was connected to another reading room. The lower and upper floor reading rooms were connected with its own ladder.
Finally, I showed her to her bedroom.
"Oh, my! You got to be kidding me, Trunks!" she jaw-dropped. "This is the finest bedroom I've ever seen. I love this place!"
I waved a hand showing it was no big deal. "Ah, c'mon, you're exaggerating."
I watched her pace around the room, and then with her child-like manner, she flumped herself on the bed.
"Very comfortable," she said. "I might as well doze off now."
"Why don't you?"
"Uh… can't." She suddenly jumped back and headed to the doorway. "I promised Tou-san I'll call him as soon as I got here. Is it okay if I use your phone?"
"Sure. Feel free to use it, you live here as from today, right?"
After a few while she talked with Gohan on the phone, she called me. Gohan wanted to talk to me.
"Hello, Gohan-san?"
"Hey, Trunks! Thanks a lot for letting Pan stay in your place."
"No biggie, it's not like this place is completely mine. It belongs to Capsule Corps.—to Kaa-san."
"Yeah… but still… Hey, can I ask you another favour?"
"Name it!"
"Ehm… it's like this… I trust you very much with all this, Trunks, since you're already grown-up and everything. And also you're like a family to Pan, Videl, me, and the rest of the Sons. I wouldn't trust my daughter to just anybody, especially a guy, but with you, I think it'll be fine. I really, really hope that you'll take good care of her there. Um.. it's like I'm asking you to replace her family in here. I really love my daughter. And even though I know she is very capable of taking care of herself, I still need you to watch over her. Sometimes, Pan becomes too confident that she does every action herself, radically or not, without even thinking any further. I really need you to make sure that she doesn't get into any trouble, that nobody hurts her in any kind of way—even though I know she's strong being partially Saiyan and all, and that she doesn't do any mischief. In other words, I need you to be her nanny. I'm sorry if this is too much too ask after all you've done for us. But, I guess I'm just too worried as a father."
"No, no, it's not too much at all. I know how you feel. Well, not exactly, but I think I do have a picture of what it's like. I mean, she's like a sister to me, and just as I am protective over Bra, my own sister, I should be feeling protective over Pan as well. So, I would be glad to be her family's replacement—especially your replacement. I know very well that you're the one who's mostly worried. But, there is one thing, the way you said it, it's like you're questioning her responsibility. I know she's very responsible, especially in her studies and stuff—just like you."
"Well, let's say some problems occurred a few times in here concerning Pan. Long story. It has something to do with boyfriends. I suppose she wants to keep it private."
"Alright then. I promise you won't have anything to worry about." I didn't bother asking him any further on. I knew I'd fish the story out from my sister's big mouth. She could never resist telling gossips and all those sort of stuff.
Gohan and I chatted a little longer until he requested to talk to his daughter again. They talked for a short while, and then they hung up. Afterwards, she went upstairs to have her rest. At about 2 in the afternoon, I took my car and head to the Capsule Corps.' branch office in the Central State. Yup, Kaa-san had put me in charge of it. Later on, inside my office, Kaa-san called to ask me about things, and whether Pan is already there and stuff. I asked her if Bra was anywhere near the phone, because I wanted to talk to her. There was silence on the other line for a while, not believing that I wanted to talk to Bra, knowing all we used to do was fight. But even so, I would always still love my sister, wouldn't I?
Kaa-san finally handed her the phone. Just as I expected, after a few unnecessary talks, the chatterbox easily spoil Pan's story to me. I found out that she had two-timed her boyfriend twice. There was some chaos when her boyfriend found out, and somehow she got Gohan involved to be her cover-up and stuff. Gohan didn't like it at all, but he only hoped that Pan would handle it on her own. She then broke him up because she was through with him. Bra said that Pan was not actually completely the bad guy in the story. She might have seemed to be, but Bra also said that it was actually Pan's boyfriend's fault too, because he was too possessive with Pan, but he two-timed her as well. Although, what made the difference was that her boyfriend only two-timed her once, but Pan two-timed him twice.
I finally got tired of listening to her and decided that it was none of my business at all. I told her that I had to catch a meeting, so I should end the phone. But before she said her goodbye, she said something ridiculous to me.
"Hey, I gotta remind you one thing," she said.
"What's that?"
"Don't Take Advantage Of Pan!"
"Huh? What the hell are you talking about, Bra?"
"Oh, c'mon! You guys live together under one roof now, and you're a guy and she's a girl. You get the picture? Doesn't my warning make any sense to you?"
I couldn't believe she would think that way of me. "Please, Bra! She's 15 and I'm almost 30! There's no way such thing can happen. She's too young for me, and obviously I find women of my age better to suit my taste."
I heard laughing in the other line. "Age makes no difference, you moron! There is always a possibility. Pan is well-grown enough for a 15 year old girl, plus I know you must've notice how pretty she is."
"Get a grip, Bra! Quit your nonsense! You're ridiculous and disgusting for saying stuff like that, you know. I see Pan as what I see you—a sister, no more, no less. Okay? Now, I gotta go, alright?"
"Okay. If you say so. Bye."
"Bye, Bra. Say hi to Tou-san for me."
We both hung up and I got back to my work. Damn! What was Bra thinking about anyway? I wished she hadn't said anything about that. I was beginning to think of how true the matter she had said was. Che! Please! That is so ridiculous! How in the world would I even think of taking advantage of Pan? The image of it was too disgusting. An almost 30 year old guy and a far younger girl? Get real! Not that she wasn't attractive. I admitted that she was attractive for her age. But, if I ever in the slightest bit thought about her that way, I should be considered disgusting. And not to mention I would be failing Gohan's faith in me. I wouldn't want to be that kind of guy. I should just stop thinking about what my silly sister had said. Everything's gonna be just fine…
A/N: I know this part isn't anything yet. Some of you might think… 'Here we go again… It's gonna be a T/P. The plot is simply this: Pan actually likes him, but Trunks doesn't even think of such possibility. Pan will have to try hard to win his heart, and then in the end, Trunks will finally realize that they belong together.'
But, please, it's not gonna be like that, I assure you. Didn't I note P/? from the beginning? So, please, please, pleeeeaaaase just keep on reading. And please don't forget to review (Thanks! ^^). Flames, critics, feedbacks are all welcome.
Please continue to the next chapter… (after I finished it, of course.)
