Konnichi Wa Minna-san. Gomen Ne, I didn't mean for it to take this long to post this part up, but my ojii-san (Grandfather) died last Saturday, and I haven't been in the mood to write. That also explains why this chapter is so short. Gomen. Anyway, here is the second part to my AU T/P story. Thanks again for the great reviews. They help me write faster. Enjoy ^_^

Unlikely Love: chapter 2

@}-)--- ***** @}-)---
It was a hectic work day. She had piles of paperwork building up, and she was doing the best she could do to not fall behind. It was already five o'clock, and she had an hour until the work day was over, and then, only an hour after that to get ready for the buisness dinner with the executives of Briefs Inc. When the work day was over, she gathered the rest of her work in her briefcase.
When she got into her apartment, she but her briefcase on her glass coffeetable and went into her room to change. She changed into a lavender buisness suit, that had a tight mid-thigh length skirt, a white dress shirt, and a buisness jacket that went over the dress shirt. She pulled her hair into a large bun, little curled tendrils of hair on the sides of her face (A.N- kind of like the way Chi Chi wears her hair) and put a lavender scrunchy around the bun. It was about 6:50 when Pan put the finishing touches on her make up. She put on a pair of lavender high heel shoes, grabbed her suitcase, and was on her way to the resteraunt.
Pan made it to the resteraunt at exactly seven o'clock. She walked inside, and looked for her father. She found him and a few other people at a table in the left corner of the building. She tried to identify the other people as she made her way to the table. One of them she could identify was Bulma Briefs, the President of Briefs Inc. The woman next to her was... Bra? And last but not least, Trunks. 'Wow, he looks alot different now,' Pan thought to herself. Trunks no longer looked like the bookworm she used to compete with. Now, he looked like a well refined buisness man.
Pan greeted everyone as she arrived at the table and sat next to her father. She sat down, and introduced herself.
"Hello, I am Son Pan, and it is very nice to meet you all." 'Except for Trunks,' she finished to herself. Pan mentally smacked herself for that. 'He never did anything to you,' she scolded herself. 'I guess I still see him as a competator.' Pan stretched her hand out to Bulma, and Bulma gave her a polite handshake.
"Hello Miss Son, I am Briefs Bulma, and these are my associates, Briefs Trunks and Briefs Bra," (A.N.- In Japan, they say their last names before their first names, or so I have been told) Pan nodded to them and smiled.
"It's nice to see you again Bra-san, and you too Trunks-san," Pan said. Bra smiled and nodded, and Trunks just gave a polite nod.
"Well lets get down to buisness," Gohan cut in.
For the next two and a half hours, the buisness meeting continued, reaching agreements, and discussing legal papers to finish the merger. When the meeting came to a close, most of the information about the merger was decided and agreed on.
Most of the meeting was discussed between Bulma and Gohan, leaving Bra, Trunks, and Pan quiet throughout alot of the meeting. Pan, after about an hour of practical silence and working on paperwork, excussed herself to go to the ladies room. Bra did the same, not wanting to stick around the whole time listening to her mother and Gohan. They were finally able to talk once they reached the ladies room.
"It is so boring in there," Bra said. Pan nodded.
"Tell me about it, I wish my father never invited me to this meeting," Pan said as she washed her hands to get the ink from the paperwork off her hands. "You never told me your last name was Briefs."
"Well, being a child of Briefs Bulma kind of makes people act differently towards you, and besides, you didn't tell me your last name either." she countered.
"I guess you're right." Pan said. "How has your brother been doing, this is the first time I have seen him since we graduated from buisness school." Bra looked kind of confused.
"You knew Trunks?" she asked perplexed.
"Yes, we have attended the same schools almost our entire lives. We sort of had a competition going on between us." Pan explained.
"Who won?" Bra asked.
"No one ever one, we always tied each other," Pan answered in an annoyed tone of voice. She never did like losing, even though she never lost to Trunks, and vise versa, she felt as though she had lost to him. Bra nodded understandingly (is that a word? ^_^0).
"So do you think you guys will be competing when our companies merge?" Bra asked. Pan put on a thoughtful face, and sighed.
"Most likely, even though we will soon work in the same company, we will most likely compete for something or other," Pan replied half heartedly.
"Why do you guys compete? Especially if you regret doing so," Bra asked.
"I don't know, we always have, and always will. It's like a universal truth. The sun rises in the morning and sets in the night, all humans are mortal, and Trunks and Pan compete." Pan answered. Bra nodded in understanding. "What about you Bra-san, don't you and Trunks compete? You are brother and sister after all."
"We have competed with each other ever since I decided I wanted to be in the buisness like mom, but he always won, he is two years older, and has more experience with this kind of thing." Pan gave Bra a half smile.
"Well, I think we need to go back out to the table now, our parents must be done by now..... hopefully." Pan said and Bra chuckled. The two women walked out of the ladies room and sat down in their chairs when they reached the table. Bulma and Gohan were wrapping things up, and Trunks looked like he was about to fall asleep. 'He looks so cute when his hair falls in front of his face like that,' Pan thought, and again, mentally smacked herself. 'Where did that come from?'
The meeting ended soon after, and they all went to their respective cars. Pan hurried to hers. She wanted to get home and rest, it was about 11 o'clock and she had to work in the morning.
When Pan got back to her apartment, she went straight to her room, changed into her navy blue, ankle-length nightgown, and plopped down on her bed. In the morning, she was going to have to learn about all of the details of the merger with her father. 'This is going to be a hectic week,' Pan thought as she drifted off to sleep.
