Sweet Child of Mine
Chapter 4...Super Agent Scuba Pan and The Crispy Critter

Bra Briefs routine over the next six weeks was the same. Each day she awoke to dress, eat, train with her otousan, train alone, eat, bathe and sleep. Only to repeat the monotonous cycle all over again the following day, the only variation she felt was the increase in her power level, which had made enormous leaps and bounds since the day she'd originally sought her father's help. And those huge increases in her Ki made every moment of her agonizing workouts significant. Each and every drop of blood, bead of sweat, and every shed tear was well worth it.
Her company was much missed by her grandparents, mother and most of all her best friend in the whole wide world Son Pan. Son Pan was the only child of Gohan and Videl and the granddaughter of her father's biggest rival, Goku. Bra and Pan had always been close, like sisters and for Bra to up and shut Pan out of her life without a single word as to why was quite unbearable for the spunky little hybrid. No ill remarks or silly squabbles had taken place, so Pan decided she'd hunt her friend down and make her talk to her.
The stunning raven-haired seven year old left her home early that morning in hopes of catching up with the M.I.A. Bra. She arrived at the Capsule Corp. compound shortly before 9 a.m. For some unknown reason she felt timid. She lacked the conviction to even raise her small finger to ring the doorbell.
`What if she's mad at me. What if she doesn't want to be friends anymore. Bra's the only other kid out there like me,' Pan sadly thought.
Throwing her fears out the window she raised her finger to ring the bell, but as she was about to make contact with the buzzer she was overcome by an odd Ki. It was familiar, yet not. This energy signature almost felt like her friend, only it was a hundred times stronger than anything she'd ever experienced emanating from Bra. The Ki was now moving. Pan stealthily made her way to the side of the mansion and saw Bra leap from her bedroom balcony and take flight.
`NANI!?! What in the home for infinite losers! Bra's flying, masaka!'
Lowering her Ki, Pan jumped into the air to follow Bra. She pursued the chibi princess relentlessly as Bra flew over mountains and oceans. Suddenly Bra halted. Pan panicked, they were over the sea and there was nowhere to hide to avoid detection. Her brain kicked into overdrive, she mustn't be seen by Bra.
`I got it!' Pan thought as she extinguished her energy and allowed herself to soundlessly fall into the water. Ten feet below the surface, she could make out Bra's silhouette in the distance. Glad that she hadn't been spotted, she rejoiced in her own cleverness. She held her breath, waiting for Bra to continue on, but she remained floating motionless. Pan lungs began to ache; she released the air that she'd been holding. The cluster of bubbles rose to the water's surface. Pan continued to observe Bra's outline. The salt water was beginning to sting her eyes; she briefly closed her eyes in attempts to counter the irritation, but when she opened her eyes, Bra was no longer there.
`WooHoo, I'm so awesome! She didn't seen me.'
She began to swim to water's surface; she was almost there when she abruptly felt the collar of her shirt being roughly yanked upwards from behind. She tried to turn to attack the unfortunate shark or whatever sea monster had crossed her path. Flaring her Ki, Pan and the would be aquatic assailant ascended from the blue waters rising fifty feet into the morning sky.
Pan reached behind to grab her aggressor, and was very surprised to grab a wrist and not some slippery appendage. In return, a hand clamped over her wrist and flung her petite body upwards towards the sun. Dazed and confused, Pan slammed on her air brakes to right herself only to find that she was now face to face with an extremely angry Bra.
Bra pointed her finger painfully into her friend's wet chest. "You were spying on me!" She accused.
"I...I didn't mean to, it just happened. I haven't seen you since forever," she nervously began, "and I miss playing with you and.... um...I came by early this morning and then I saw you flying...Omikami! Bra what else have you been hiding from me?"
Bra's anger melted away. How could she honestly stay angry with her best friend, especially when her intentions were so pure?
The corners of Bra's lips began to turn up into beautiful smile. "I missed you too Panny, I really wanted to tell you but Pappa said I should train alone."
"Vegeta-san is training you?" Pan asked in shock.
"Only in the mornings. Hey, come on I'll show you my secret training spot. You can spar with me too, I could really use a punching bag."
Pan gave Bra the you're-so-dead-glare and growled at the comment. "Don't be so sure of yourself Bra. How do you know it's not gonna be the other way around?"
Bra just rolled her eyes. "Because I'm the Saiyan no Hime, that's why, now come on Pan and quit being so mad."
Pan laughed it off, she'd truly missed Bra's company and this was the first time ever she'd had the opportunity to spar with some one close to her own age.
They landed in a sandy clearing on the small island. It was approximately two miles in diameter. It had a huge beach at the base of tall sea cliff. Atop the massive rock face was a tropical paradise. Lush green landscape of exotic trees and plants decorated the little isle.
"This place is so cool," Pan stated.
"Ya, ya, ya. Whatever. We can play here later."
Bra put her game face on and eased into her attack stance. Pan did the same. They circled each other measuring one other's Ki. Bra was the first to attack. She phased into Pan's arm's reach and cold cocked her older friend dead in the jaw. Pan was forced back several feet and was able to stop herself just inches before she hit cliff.
"Ouch, Bra-chan," Pan whined as she rubbed her bruised jaw.
"Stop being a baby, Panny. Don't hold back, okay?"
Pan nodded. She flew at Bra with combination of kicks and punches. Bra deflected every one. Pan then decided to take this fight to air. Both girls hovered high in the sky above the island, which appeared to be only a tiny speck in the blue ocean.
Pan lunged at Bra again, sending a flurry of blows her way. Bra was able to block the punches however the unexpected kick to the kidney did make contact. Bra winced in pain, glaring daggers in Pan's direction. She charged at Pan, flying at full speed. Pan crossed her arms in front of her, prepared for Bra brutal assault. Fist raised, Bra faked Pan out by phasing out of view, only to show up behind her with a retaliatory knee to Pan's kidney.
The chibi demi-saiyan girls battled well into the afternoon in the intense fighting match. Throughout the sparring session Bra was surprisingly able to keep the upper hand against Pan, which didn't go over very well with Pan. The raven-haired child summoned her Ki, with both palms open at her side she began.
"Ka-me-ha-me-HA!"
She released the blast at Bra. Images of Bra crispy critters flashed in her mind. The Kamehameha was entirely too big to deflect, she had only one option...her father's Big Bang Attack. Sure, she'd seen both her father and brother perform the blast several times, however she'd never tried it herself. It was the only choice, either that or Bra crispy critters and frankly Bra had no desire to hear her mother rant about burnt blue hair.
Concentrating, she beckoned her Ki to her fingertips. She performed the intricate hand gestures, and then released the Big Bang Attack against Son Pan's Kamehameha. Pan had no chance. Bra's attack merely absorbed the Son trademark move and kept on going, knocking little Panny fifty feet out of the air, down to the island's sandy beach below where she landed rear end first with a loud thump.
Bra flew to the island below where Pan was rising to her feet and rubbing her sore booty.
"Ouch, Bra-chan, that's gonna leave a bruise," Pan moaned.
"Well you're crazy to think that I would've let you Kamehameha my favorite shirt," she said matter-of-factly as she rubbed the fading fuscia top with the words -Girrrl Power!- in glittering silver letters.
"You're a nut, Bra," Pan giggled.
"C'mon let's go to my house and eat, you can spend the night, okay?"
"I'd like that Bra no Hime," laughed Pan.
"Hey, I'm a princess for real! My Pappa says so."
"My Daddy calls me an angel but I don't make you call me that."
"Shut up Pan, I am a real princess! Pappa is the Prince of Vegeta-sei and of all the Saiyans, you can ask him when we get home."
Pan face went to a look of slight fear as she raised her hands in front of her. "Uh...nope. Your daddy scares me."
"He's not that bad, Panny."
"Oh, yes he is. Are you sure that you don't wanna spend the night at my house instead?"
"Not a chance," Bra grabbed Pan's arm and the girls flew in the direction of Capsule Corp.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Next chapter we'll see what Bulma has to say about Bra's little disappearing acts and how will Vegeta react when he discovers that Bra spent the day sparring with Pan after he specifically told to train alone....
