Goten took my hand as we climbed into the limousine that was waiting outside. There were two long seats facing each other. Goten and I climbed into one, Pan and my brother in the other. He wrapped his arm around me, and I laid back into his chest. Brother gave me a sharp look.
"So, I was thinking we had a little extra time, so why don't we grab a bite to eat before we go?" Goten asked everyone.
"Sounds great! I'm starving!" Pan chirped. She was a bit distant from Trunks, but edging ever so slightly closer. She was nervous, it was a family trait, because Goten was always so nervous around me. Dating just didn't come easily to the Son family.
"Yeah, sure, is that ok with you, Brother?"
"Definitely!" So we headed to a local Sushi restaurant.
When we pulled up I took Pan by the hand.
"Boys, get us a table while we run to the ladies room."
"Ok Bra." Trunks said. Once we entered the restroom I jumped onto the sink and sat down.
"Pan, you need to start making some subtle moves. Dinner is a very intimate setting, now is the time to start planting ideas in his head." She looked at me confused.
"What should I do?"
"Just little things, like sitting a little closer than you normally would, laying your hand on his leg, or giving him the right look at the right moment."
"And what look would that be?" I looked slightly towards my lap and cut my eyes seductively at her, while I bit the corner of my lower lip.
"It's that easy Pan!"
"I – I can't do that." I sighed. When was she going to realize that she had it in her?
"You can, just try. Now come on, we don't have too much time before the dance." We went out into the dinning room. We looked around for a moment before we found them. They were sitting at a booth that was a 'C' shape. When they saw us approaching, both men stood. Pan and I snickered to each other. Gentlemen, they were, but more so, nerds. We climbed in, and the boys followed. We ordered, and while we waited for our food I shot Pan a look telling her it was time, and I meant it. I was NOT going to allow her to ruin this. She blushed slightly, but nodded her head. I scooted up to Goten, and he wrapped his arm around my waist. I could tell that she was working up her nerves, so I decided to give her a moment to collect her self.
My next decision could have ruined my life. I still am not sure why I did it, but I did.
"Brother." I cooed sweetly across the table.
"Yeah, Bra?" He looked up at me.
"I just wanted to let you know that Goten and I are dating, that's all." I looked back down at my plate. My heart was racing. I knew that tables were about to fly – literally. Goten practically choked on his food.
"Bra!" He gasped.
"What…did…you…say?" Trunks managed through gritted teeth.
"Look! I'm eighteen and it's not like he's the first guy I've dated."
"Goten! How could you … she's my little sister man! You're supposed to be my best friend!" He jumped to his feet.
"Trunks, sit down, please." Pan tugged his sleeve. He looked down at her, staring into her face. I could see that he was realizing that it really was Pan. It was registering in his mind that she wasn't just a kid anymore. To all of our surprise he listened to her.
"See, Trunks, that's the point. Wouldn't you rather me with her? You know I'd never hurt her." He paused to take in his wisdom.
"If you do…I'll kill you myself." He looked down at his lap. His fists were clenched tight. I could see Pan's hand slowly rub up and down on his leg. Without changing his gaze, he rested his hand on top of hers. I couldn't help but smile, everything was working out as planned. I guess being a Princess paid off in the end, after all.
A/N – I cannot lie, this chapter started out as pure filler, so it kinda sucks, but it ended up with one important scene. Sorry, I PROMISE the next chapter will be better. It is one of the three scenes that caused me to dream up this ridiculous concoction. I just pray that it comes out as good typed out as it flowed through my brain.
