Goten- 21

Thoughts (* *)

From the day Pan was born, Trunks was there at her side every day. He loved her with all his heart but never had the courage to tell her how he felt. Goten and Bra both knew how trunks was, and knew he never would tell the truth about his feelings for Pan.

Pan never accepted the fact that Trunks had a different girl sleep over his house every night; she felt her heart break into a million pieces every time she'd see another girl all over him. She forced herself to ignore it and moved on. She started dating guys from her

University just to keep Trunks off her mind, but noticed that every guy was wrong for her. She finally gave up all together.

On the other hand, Trunks couldn't stop thinking about Pan, that's why he invited girls over to get his mind off of her. But none of them could fill that empty hole in his heart, where Pan belonged.

After his business with each girl, he usually kicked them back out onto the street and felt guilty about ever inviting them in. He also gave up his habit.

After her date one night, she decided to drop by Bra's house to see if she wanted to go clubbing. She had such a horrible time on her date with "whatever his name was?" For some odd reason she could never remember the guys names that she went out with. Half the time she was thinking about Trunks, and if he would ever like her. (* Why would he ever like me, I'm like a little sister to him, he would never love someone like me anyways, I should just crawl into a hole and hide*)She tried calling Bra cellphone, but all she got was her retarded answering machine.

"Hey you reach the CUTEST, RICHEST, and MOST BEAUTIFUL girl, Bra, I'm not here at the moment but if you leave a message after the beep, i probably won't get back to you, unless you're a cutie! (Giggle then a beep).

Her answering machine always pissed pan off, it was so retarded. She always told Bra that but she never listened to her.

(* I tell you, that girl, why does she even have a phone if she never answers when there is something i "ACTUALLY" want to talk to her about*)

"Bra, you better have a good reason for not answering that damn phone of yours, cause the second I see you, I'm going to ring your neck" she yelled into her phone then hung up ,clenching her fists as she flew towards capsule corp.

Approaching Capsule corp, she noticed bra's car was still parked in the driveway, and that the house lights were all on. She landed in the front yard, hoping to not find Trunks anywhere in a 5 mile radius, not because she didn't want to see him, but the fact that

She couldn't express herself to him, just pissed her off every time she saw him. And she knew that he noticed.

As she got closer to the house, she realized that the living room light was the only one not on. She flew around to the backdoor, and slid it quietly open. Walking through the hall, trying to be ninja -like, she heard someone in the kitchen digging through the fridge.

Figuring it was either Vegeta or Bra she walked straight into the kitchen with no hesitation finding a strange blonde girl wrapped in sheets in the fridge. She watched as the girl pulled out 2 bottles or beer and stood up and closed the fridge door.

Pans heart dropped and she let out a gasp. The blonde heard the sound and turned towards the door, she saw pan staring at her with wide eyes, and gave off a blood curdling scream. Pan snapped out of it, and started backing up towards the back door, with an apologetic look on her face, with her hands up in front of her, tripping over shoes, a rug and a chair that was left out. She was almost out of the kitchen when she heard footsteps running towards the kitchen from the living room, she felt her heart break one last time as she saw Trunks running to the blonde, only in his boxers. A tear left Pans eyes as she finally realized what was going on, and started backing up faster towards the door. Meanwhile Trunks was checking the blonde to see what was wrong, as the blonde started pointing towards Pans direction, Trunks turned to see Pan with tears on her face quickly backing away from them. His heart sunk at the thought of what the scene looked like to her. He took a step towards Pan to explain, but before he knew it she was out the back door in a flash.

He looked back at the blonde with rage in his eyes. He looked down at his feet and let a tear escape his eye, as he clenched his fists.

"Get the hell out of my house now" punching a hole into the kitchen wall

"Why baby, we just got started" the blonde said flirting with Trunks, slowly lowering the sheet that was wrapped around her.

"did you not just hear what i said, GET OUT!" yelling at her, raising his Ki as high as it could go without going into a super saiyan, she screamed and took off out the door with her things. He slid down the wall onto his butt, pulling his legs up to his chest, giving up one tear. He knew pan would never forgive him for this.

Pan cried the whole way home, landing on her roof; she screamed into the night sky, raising her Ki as high as it could go, pushing herself to super saiyan. She looked as her golden hair dropped in front of her face and was astonished to notice what just happened. She was training so hard with vegeta to become a super saiyan but never could. Vegeta told her, he had never seen a woman turn into a super saiyan and that it was impossible. She felt an evil smirk creep onto her face as she thought how surprised vegeta would be at their next training session, that's if she ever goes near Capsule Corp again.

She stood there with one last tear leaving her eyes, as she powered down, ducking into her window. She didn't sleep at all that night, crying at every sight that popped into her head of that moment her life ended.

Trunks explained to Bra what happened and begged his sister to call pan. She called pan for a straight week without any answer. The only time she and Trunks ever got an answer was when Videl or Gohan answered the phone on Pans request.

Phone rings off the hook, while Gohan stomps down the hall towards that annoying noise.

(*hmmm? let me guess who this could be calling*) he thought to himself as he answered the phone on the last ring

"Son residence, Gohan speaking?" trying to be polite, just in case it was someone else

"Hey Gohan, its Trunks! How are you?" asking with a nervous laugh

Gohan knew this routine all too well; it was the same thing every time Trunks or his sister called for Pan. He didn't know what happened between the 2 since his daughter was too proud and pissed to tell her father what was going on.

He sighed. "Trunks, I know why your calling, it's been the same ALL week!" getting annoyed

"Gohan please, could you please let me talk to her, it's important?" pleading and begging with him

"Trunks, I'm going to tell you the same thing I tell you every second you call,' I don't know what you did to my daughter but she is upset about something" taking a pause and continuing "she hasn't left her room all week for anything except school, and she doesn't even hang out with her friends anymore. She doesn't want to talk to you, right now! So just give her some space and let her call you when she is ready to'!" Gohan calmly explained to him.

Trunks sighed in defeat. "Ok Gohan, i will do that, but could you do me one favor?"

"Sure?" worried about the favor

"Just tell her that i am sorry, and that I will wait for her to call me!" feeling his heart break again

"I will let her know trunks, thanks for calling, bye!" and with that said they both hung up. Trunks stared at the phone for 2 minutes before he put it down. He felt so defenseless and defeated. He needed to speak to her. Just then Bra walks pass his room door and peeks in. Noticing the cellphone lying open on her brother's lap, as he stared down at it in concentration.

"She didn't answer again?" hurtfully watching her brother get off the bed and walk towards his sliding door. He stared at the sunset and wondered what he had done to deserve this. Without turning around he answered his sister, who was still waiting in the doorway for his answer.

"Gohan answered again, and told me to give her some space..." trailing off in his thoughts "I can't do that, I need to talk to her, I can't just forget about her and move on!" he said now looking at the ground, as tears started to drop. Bra felt so bad for her brother, and knew why pan was doing this. It was his fault for doing what he did. She noticed the tears and walked over to her brother and put her arms around his waist from the back and gave him a well needed hug. Bra let go of the embrace and began to exit his room.

"Just let her come to you, if i know her well enough, she WILL come to you in no time." she said with a smile on her face as she turned around just in time to see a smile creep onto her brother's face.

Pan heard the house phone ring off the hook for a whole week, knowing who it was.

"Just leave me alone already!" in a whisper so low, only she could hear it. Every time that phone rang, she could feel another part of her heart crumbling into a black hole. It wasn't Bra's fault but she knew what Bra wanted and Pan wanted nothing to do with Trunks anymore.

A week later:

At capsule Corp. early Saturday morning, Bra and Goten are enjoying a beautiful sunny day by the pool. Bra is enjoying tanning in her tiny pink bikini, while Goten was plotting a way to get her in the pool with him. A small smirk appears on Gotens face, ready to take action with his plan.

Bra always blasted her iPod while laying around with her designer shades on, laying out on the lounge chair. So goten decided that was a good enough distraction. Goten smirked and got out of the pool, sneaking up behind bra, keeping his Ki low so she wouldn't notice him. His smile grew as he grabs her; Bra lets out a yelp, and throws her in to the pool. He laughs jumping in after her.

Bra surfaces next to goten and starts attacking him with a series of slaps and punches. Goten blocks everyone with the famous Son smile on his face.

"Goten you jerk, i wasn't planning on getting in the pool" Bra yelled at him, while swimming to the stairs to get out.

"oh come one Bra, i was just joking around, don't be mad" Goten says with a pout on his face. Bra turns around just to see his pout and smiles but continues to exit the pool. Before she gets a chance to take a step out of the pool, Goten phases in front of her with his arms around her waist.

She looks up into his eyes, and he looks down at her with his apologetic smile and says

"Bra i was just trying to have some fun with my girlfriend, is that a crime?" smiling at bra.

She could never be mad at him, that smile just makes her melt every time she sees it, she was a little irritated since he knew what his smile did to her, so he used it every chance he got.

Bra smiled back at him and on her tippy-toes, lightly kissed him on the lips. She pulled away, ready to walk back to her seat, but he had other plans on mind. He kept his strong arms wrapped around her waist, lust in his eyes. Bra smiled, she knew what he wanted.

Goten leans down to her ear and whispers "who said I'm done with you". Bra immediately melts at the sound of his voice, and attacks his lips with hers. He smiles into the kiss, knowing that he had won without a fight from her. He grabs her and wraps her legs around his waist and starts heading for the lounge chair she was tanning on earlier. He starts to undo her bikini top and she realizes that they are outside and her dad was in the Gravity Room next to the pool. She pulls away from the kiss to catch her breath and looks up into the eyes of the man that stole her heart and smiles.

"Goten you know we can't do that here, my dad is still home and Trunks is up in his room, what happens when they feel our Ki's rise" Bra smiles up at him.

He ignores her and slowly starts placing butterfly kisses down her neck. She slightly moaned when he reached her sensitive spot below her ear. Bra knew she had to stop him before her dad came bursting out of the GR.

She pushed his chest to separate them and looks at him. "Goten do you want my dad to walk out of the GR to see us, you know what he could do to you".

"Man I never get to have any fun with you" Goten places her down on the lounge chair and sits next to her with a pout on his face. She sits up and sits behind him with her arms around his waist and kisses him on his back. He holds her hands to his chest and kisses both of them smiling. They both turn towards the house, feeling a familiar Ki approaching the back door, and just as soon as they thought that, Trunks walks through the sliding door heading for the bench under the tree, which he always sat at when he was mad, or hurt. He seemed sad and not his happy-go-lucky-self lately. Goten was automatically worried about his best friend and moved bra's hands to get up off the lounge chair.

He turned towards Bra giving her one last kiss smiling and said "Imma be right back, I have a hunch why he's mad". He started to walk away from Bra, when a small hand grabbed his wrist. He turned towards bra with a confused look.

Bra whispers "i bet it has to do with pan, she hasn't been over lately, and I've been calling her for the past week without a response, plus I did tell you what happened last weekend, but you better tell me what's up when you find out" bra stands up and wraps a towel around her and continues with a flirtatious smile "I'll be in the shower when you're done". Winking and placing a light kiss on his cheek and walking towards the back door.

Goten thinks to himself as he watches her walk away, adding an extra shake to her hips.

(* if I'm not careful this girl is going to be the end of me*) he starts smiling as he sees her heading for trunks. And thinks to himself again (* this should be interesting*).

She stops next to Trunks. (* this is going to be fun*)

"Hey bro, what's with the sad face" almost saying it sarcastically with a smile on her face. Trunks turn's his eyes up to meet hers with a death stare.

Almost in a growl he says" don't pull that crap with me bra, and its none of your business" turning his head back to stare at the ground. Bra knew it was about pan and just brushed his comment off and started back towards the house with a smile on her face, before she stepped into the house, she turned her head over her shoulder and says to Trunks "i bet it has to do with what happen with pan" she takes off into the house, but turned around just in time to see trunks shoot her another death stare. She knew she was right.

Goten just stood there and laughed at the fact that Bra was always right about those two and their feelings towards each other. He walked up to Trunks and sat down next to him. Trunks turns his head towards his best friend.

"Hey man, I'm going to hurt your girlfriend one of these days" turning his head back to the ground.

All goten could do was smile at him knowing he would never do anything to her Bra. He loved her even though he wouldn't say it himself. Trunks knew that also.

Goten decided to break the uncomfortable silence. "So man what up, where's Candace? I thought you guys had a date today." Goten thought to himself (* was that the brunette or the blonde?*)

Trunks automatically felt a tug at his heart; he looked up from the ground and looks at Goten. "Man bro, i don't know what I'm doing, i only go out with these girls so I can get someone out of my head" grabbing at his head to shake the thought of pan from his head. Oblivious to him, Goten knew about his lifetime crush on Pan and what had happened between them.

Goten only could pat his friends back in an attempt to calm him down.

"I'm your best friend and I'll be here when you want to talk, so what's on your mind" trying to hold a snicker back, he knew it was about pan but wanted the juicy details.

"Ok, well there's this girl" Trunks started saying before Goten interrupted him

"You mean Candace?" goten had a confused look on his face and trunks could only laugh and say

"No, you know Candace is only one of my overnight flings" elbowing him. Goten laughs.

Trunks continue. "There's this girl, that i like, but i think it more than a like. I don't know if she feels that same way about me anymore. She hasn't talked to me in a while after something happened between us."

Trunks again oblivious to the fact that Bra told Goten what had happened between Pan and him. "but this morning when I took Candace to the mall, I saw her with a guy, holding hands walking and i felt my heart break" a tear slowly appears on his face.

Goten didn't know that he had such strong feelings for pan and didn't know pan was dating either.

Goten looks over at Trunks with a suspicious looking smile and turns to face him.

Trunks sees the smile on Gotens face and nervously ask him with his own smile appearing.

"Bro, What? Why are you staring at me like that?" nervously laughing

"Who's this special girl, that can turn my best friend into a fricken mess?" smiling the Son grin.

Trunks shocked at the question, and stares straight back at the ground, fidgeting his fingers together.

"I can't tell you, it's a secret and I know that you can't keep a secret to save your life!" sarcastically saying to Goten.

"But i do hope that she will be at the Halloween party this Saturday? I haven't seen her in a while, and i miss her."

Hopefully thinking to him. (* I really do hope she comes*)

Goten sees his hopeful look in his best friends eyes and started to plot a plan to get his niece to the party.
