Today

Chapter 1: The Buildup

The day was beautiful, gloriously shining through the blue and white cotton curtains. The sun shined over the dresser, the night stand, the clothes scattered on the floor, and all but penetrated the dark recesses of the canopy's midnight blue drapes. Inside this abyss lay a certain blue haired Saiyan princess. The princess turned, her blue cascade of hair following the graceful movement. Princess Bra as she liked to think. But here on earth, she was not seen as royal by humans, most likely since they didn't know she was a Saiyan or that Saiyans even existed.
Bra didn't want to open her eyes, but she knew that once the thought of even opening her eyes made her do it. She stared up at the canopy's ceiling and smiled. Bra had resolved, after many tearful confessions with herself and her best friend Pan, that she'd finally tell Goten her feelings for him. Bra was excited but nervous at the same time, Goten and her together has been a prominent thought in her mind. She wanted to show him that she just wasn't Trunks' kid sister. She wanted to show Goten that she could be more than that to him now that Marron had left to the states for boarding school. Although she didn't know the exact happenings of that relationship, she was pretty sure it was over. But, how would she come upon Goten alone without the annoying lavender haired menace getting in her way. Though Pan did promise to come up with something to keep Trunks away, Bra thought, can she pull it off? So many emotions were coursing through Bra, that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. First things first, I have to get out of bed!
She got up, pushed aside the drapes and stepped out, shielding her eyes from the sudden sunlight, she made her way across the plush light blue carpet to the bathroom. Inside the white tiled bathroom, Bra looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. Today is the day when things will happen. Today will decide practically my future! Well, Bra sighed, my future with Goten. Bra pushed her blue hair out of her eyes, her aristocratic features drawn tight with the thought of losing Goten. Her big blue eyes shone and her pert nose sniffled. Bra turned and stepped into the shower while turning the nozzle for hot water. The hot water ran down her luxurious body, taking with it her uncertainties, if only for a short while.
Out of the shower with her white bathrobe draped on her, Bra decided to call Pan. While Bra eagerly waited for the phone to be answered she looked through her closet for something worthy of a life altering day. She selected a simple cotton dress with a flowery print which showed off all her best assets. The phone was answered and an all too desirable voice picked up. Bra almost lost her nerve.

"Hello" he said, his voice pounding it's beautiful rhythm in her ears.

"Hi Goten! Is Pan there?" Bra squeaked.

"No B-chan, she's not, she ran off somewhere with Trunks," Bra could practically hear the Son grin, "but is there something I can help you with?"

"Well... um..erm...it's ... uh... kind of a girl thing, ya know?" Bra had just shot down her opening to setting up a 'date' with Goten! I'm such a fool!

"Haha. I hear ya. I'm sure you can talk to her later, if Trunks has returned her in one piece." he replied.

"Ha...well...talk to you later..." Bra nervously said.

"Yeah, Bye B-chan."

Bra set the phone down and flung herself across the bed. She needed encouragement to go through with her plan of revealing her feelings with Goten. But being called B-chan was not an encouragement. It was a step back. Oh well, after today, Bra thought, Goten will not see me as a child.
