Chapter 2 The prom

The day of the prom has finally arrived. Goku jr. was suited and ready to go and was waiting for Aimi to come downstairs. ''Man, I don't remember this suit being so tight the last time I wore it. Did it shrink or something?'' Goku jr. asked a bit irritated.

''No, it's because you've gotten broader since then.'' Pan explained him. ''You've been training with your father for so many times the last couple of years. Of course the suit is going to feel a little small.''

''Hmm, well whatever. I just need to wear it for a couple of hours.''

''Oh I swear, sometimes it's like you're a clone of your father. The way you look and act... it's like my genes never passed on to you.''

''Hehehehehe. Well I guess what they say is true after all. Like father, like son eh.'' Goku jr said while rubbing his head.

''You see, even the way you rub your head is the same as your father.'' Pan sighed. ''I'm glad Aimi looks more like me.''

''Heheheheh, yeah. By the way, is she almost done? The prom is gonna start in a couple of minutes.''

''I'm gonna check on her.'' Pan said while going up the stairs. ''Aimi, Aimi, are you done?'' Pan opened the door of Aimi's room and found Aimi just sitting there in her recently bought dress. ''Aimi, what's wrong?''

''I don't know if I should go.''

''Why not?''

''What do you mean, why not? I'm going to show up there with my brother. Do you understand how wrong that sounds?''

''I know, honey, but you can't back out now. Goku is already fully dressed and ready to go and waiting for you downstairs. And besides you know you don't want to stay home.''

''I don't want to stay home, but... what will the other students think of me?''

''Aimi, you shouldn't worry about others judging you. What you should do is just to go there and have a good time.''

''Yeah, I guess you're right.'' Aimi said softly.

''I know I'm right. Because I did the same thing with your father. At some point we didn't care about what others thought of us. As long as we were with each other, we could take on anything.'' Pan said proudly but not fully realizing what she just said.

''Wait, what do you mean? Is there something wrong with one of you then?'' Aimi asked curiously.

''Umm, uhhh... no... just... it's not important. You just get ready and have a good time.''

''O-okay.'' Aimi said still wondering what her mother meant with that. After a couple of minutes, she announced that she was ready and came downstairs. While she walked down, all Goku jr. could think was: ''Damn, is that Aimi?''

While she felt very nervous, once she saw Goku jr. in his suit, she couldn't help but think that he actually looked very handsome.

''You 2 look so cute together.''

''Mom, stop embarrasing us.'' Aimi muttered while blushing.

''Right, you should go now. The prom has already started. Now come on, go.'' Pan said while pushing the 2 of them outside.

''Well, I guess this is it, huh?'' Goku jr. said a bit nervous.

''Yeah'' Aimi said while blushing.

''Hey, why is your face all red?''

''What?'' That was indeed a good question. Why was her face so red all of a sudden. She couldn't figure it out but assumed it was because it was her first prom night. ''It's just that... it's my first prom after and I'm a little nervous.''

''Oh okay. Well, shall we?''

''Uh, y-yes.'' After a few minutes of flying they were finally there. Before they entered Aimi wanted to ask Goku jr. something. ''Wait, Goku.''

''Hmm, is there something wrong?''

''No, I just want to ask you something.''

''Okay. What is it?''

''Look, I know you, and I also know you have quite a temper, so please if anyone... judges me or us... don't cause any trouble.''

''I don't care if anyone insults me but if anyone insults you, then they will face the consequences.''

''I knew you would say that, but please just this once, just let them be.''

''You know I can't just ignore them if they insult you. You're my little sister. They won't...'' Aimi then interrupted Goku jr.

''Then do it for me, please.''

''But... but I can't just...'' Goku jr. sighed. ''Okay, fine, but I only promise to try.''

''That's good enough for me.'' Aimi smiled. They then went inside. And it didn't take long before they heard things like ''Isn't that her brother? That's so weird.'' ''Why would she even show up?'' ''That's Aimi, right... and she's with her brother. Nutjobs.'' Goku jr. was already getting angry but calmed down a bit when Aimi shook her head, implying that he shouldn't do anything. Thinking that she may have to distract him, she noticed that there was a table full of food enough for at least 10 people. Knowing Goku jr, he should be able to eat all of that and more. A perfect distraction.

''Hey, Goku, look at that table over there.''

''Well, damn. Is... is that all?'' Goku jr. asked disappointed.

''Uhh, what do you... oh right, I forgot how big you stomach is. But anyway, do you want to eat?''

''Well, I'm hungry, so hell yeah. It's not much but it'll have to do.'' Goku jr. first sat down, but a few days ago, Pan said that even though Aimi is his sister, he should act like a gentleman. ''Wait, let me pull the chair back for you.''

''W-why thank you, Goku.'' Aimi sat down, wondering what has gotten in to him. ''This is so unlike you. You usually just sit down and just eat whatever is in reach.''

''Oh well, you know. This day is special to you, so I thought I should treat you like a gentleman would. And finally we can eat.'' After a couple of moments, Goku jr noticed that Aimi didn't eat anything. He noticed that she was lost in thought. ''Aimi?... Aimi?''

''Huh, what?''

''What's wrong? You looked like you spaced out.''

''Oh it's nothing. I was thinking about something.''

''Don't you want to eat?''

''No, no, you can eat all your want. I'm not hungry.''

''You sure?''

''Yes, yes, just eat whatever you want.''

''Alrighty then.'' And Goku jr. continued stuffing himself full. Aimi just watched him eat. For some reason, she alsways enjoyed seeing him stuffing himself, but she couldn't explain why. Goku jr. noticed her staring at him. ''Is there something on my face?''

''Huh, no.. it's just... never mind, it's nothing.'' Then a slow song started to play and alot of couples were slow dancing. She also wanted to just go there and dance but the other students would think she is weird for dancing with her brother.

''You wanna dance?'' Goku jr. asked Aimi.

''Uhh... what did you say?''

''I may not be the smartest guy in the universe, but even I can tell from the look on you face you want to dance.''

''But... no, I can't. It's too embarrassing.'' Aimi's face turned red.

''What? You mean you can't dance?''

''No that's not it.''

''Is it because I'm your brother?''

''Tha-...''

''Aimi, who cares if you're going to have one dance with your brother? It's not like it is forbidden or something. When we were kids we used to dance with each other too.''

''But that's when we were kids, Things are different now.''

''How? The only difference I can think of is that we're older. Apart from that we're still the same.''

''Oh, Goku, not everyone has the same mindset as you.''

''Well maybe they should. I don't see anything wrong with a brother having one dance with his sister, just for her promnight. So are you gonna sit here all night, or are gonna take my hand and dance for a while?''

Then Aimi started to think about it for a while. While it can be embarrassing, there is indeed nothing wrong with 2 siblings just having one dance. ''You know what? You're right. Let's dance.''Goku jr. took Aimi's hand and walked to the dancefloor. ''You know how to slow-dance?''

''Um, yes. I think I can still do it.'' They were struggling for a bit, but after a couple of moments they got the hang of it. Aimi thought she was going nuts but she really enjoyed it. Her face started to turn a little red again. ''Heheheh.''

''What are you laughing at?''

''No, it's just... your face... you look cute when you're face turns all red.''

''Oh. just shut up.''

''Hey, take it easy on your older brother, will ya?'' Goku jr. grinned with that famous Son-grin. Aimi couldn't help but smile too.

Back at the Son house

''Honey, I'm home.''

''Oh, hey Goku. So you're done with your training session for today.''

''Yeah, it was pretty intense.'' Goku then looked around the house and noticed that Pan was home alone. ''Oh yeah, I forgot. Aimi's prom was tonight right?''

''Yep. In fact they left like 30 minutes ago.''

''So I guess Goku jr. went with her.''

''Of course. All the boys are afraid of her, remember, so Goku jr. went with her.''

''Yeah, about that. Do you really think it's a good idea? I mean I don't think you want them... you know... to end up with each other?''

''I don't think a silly promnight is going to get together. And besides, Vegeta said it himself. Saiyan genes don't work the same way as that of a human when they commit incest. Look at Goku jr and Aimi. They are perfectly healthy children. And... I would rather want Aimi and Goku jr. to get together, Goku jr. being a man I know will treat her right, then to have Aimi pick up a random guy who would treat her like crap.''

''I see your point, but if it happens, do you think we should let them?''

''If it does happen and they are happy with eachother, I'd say let them be, but if they cannot make it work, then so be it. Even though we are their parents we shouldn't force anything. They are adults who can think for themselves.''

''I guess you're right. Anyway, I'm hungry. Is there something to eat?''

Pan sighed. ''I swear to Kami, your stomach is gonna kill you someday with all that you eat.''

Back to the prom

Goku jr. and Aimi were still in the middle of slowdancing, and it didn't seem like either of them wanted to stop. They were enjoying themselves, perhaps a bit too much.

''I feel like I could go on like this forever.''

''Yeah, me too.'' Realizing what they just said they halted their dance for a second and just laughed it off and continued dancing. But then the judging comments started.

''So, Aimi, you dragged your poor brother to this?''

''Bunch of weirdo's.''

''I guess she keeps it in the family, huh.'' Just then Goku jrs anger started to rise but Aimi tried to calm him.

''Goku, please, just ignore them. Remember you promised me.''

''I know, but they are just so... urgh... annoying little twerps.''

''Come on, leave them alone guys. Let them create their super-powered retarted babies if they want to.''

''How would their parents react to this insanity?''

''Yeah, like you couldn't get any weirder, but weird people always need to prove how weird they really are.''

''Okay that does it.''

''Goku, no, just them...''

''No, Aimi. I won't stand here and let them insult us like that. You guys are all so judgemental. The reason why I'm here with my sister is because all of you little boys can't handle a real woman like Aimi. You were all so afraid of her strength, while she is one of the most kindest people I have ever known. And that's why I'm here, because I didn't want her to stay home or go alone to the prom. She doesn't deserve this, and I swear if I have to hear even one more insult from anyone, you will pay. Mark my words, you... will... pay. So please just shut the hell up, mind your own business, and let me and my sister just have a good time.'' With that said, Goku jr. and Aimi continued dancing, and no one even bothered to speak to them or even talk about them for the rest of the evening.

''Goku, did you... really mean those words?''

''Of course. I'm your older brother and I wont let them insult you like that.''

Aimi looked in Goku jrs eyes and thanked him.

The promnight went on for another 3 hours until everyone had to go home. Goku and Aimi flew home. ''Goku, I want to thank you. Despite those comments, I had a amazing night.''

''Hey, no problem. I had a lot of fun tonight as well. Too bad that there wasn't enough food, though.''

That made Aimi chuckle. ''You and your obsession over food. It's like mom always says, you really are just like father.''

''Hehehehe. Well, what can I say about it, other then that I'm really my fathers son.'' They both started laughing. Even though they were already close, this event may have brought the siblings even closer...

Perhaps a little too close...
