Bura finished breakfast with a loud, unladylike belch. She wiped her face clean with Videl's embroidered pink tablecloth, and left the table without muttering a thank you, but Videl would've been a fool to expect as much.

"Why does Pan keep ditching me?"

Bura patted her sides, feeling for the familiar bulge of her cellphone. Her skirt layed perfectly flat. Nothing was inside her pockets. She cursed and stormed out the kitchen door. She must've forgotten to take it when she went ' sleep flying' last night.

On the other side of the picket fence, Chichi was hanging her husband's underwear to dry in the backyard. Her black eyes narrowed into two slits as she spotted Bura coming near.

" You! What are you doing here? Haven't you caused my son enough trouble?"

Chichi pinned the last of Goku's underwear and carried the empty brown basket into the house, which Bura took as an invitation to come inside.

"She never used to be this mean to me." Bura tensed her lips, forming the infamous pouty duckface that the internet hated so much. She sat on her favorite spot on the couch, near the window, and looked at the family pictures on the whall, soon Chichi appeared with two cups of tea.

Bura quietly sipped her tea, feeling like a small child again.

" I wonder what that boy was thinking," Chichi blew into her cup and raised it to her chin." Honestly, out of all the girls he's gone out with i never would've thought he'd choose someone like YOU!" She shook her head, tilted the cup, and slurped down half her tea, which Bura suspected had liquor mixed into it.

"What the fuck do you mean by that?" Bura growled, slamming her tea cup and saucer on the small wooden table."Any man on this planet would kill his best friend just to spend one night with me! I'm beatiful and rich, isn't that the type of girl you want for Goten?"She put her hands on her hips." Or do you hate me because I'm Buruma's daughter?"

An angry red, anime-styled vein throbbed on Chichi's head. It seemed that everyone knew she had mixed feelings toward Buruma. If only Goku would stay away from that blue haired flirt, then there wouldn't be any problems.

Chichi calmly put down her cup and saucer, folded her hands in her lap, and straightened her shoulders.

"You're right, you're not good enough for my son or this family. I always pictured my second daughter-in-law as someone kind, patient, loving, respectful, and modest."

Bura's face reddened. She was neither of those things, and she never would be. She'd also never legally be anyone's daughter-in-law, but that was a choice she made years ago. There wasn't a man out there that deserved to have her all for himself.

Chichi gathered the dishes." I wanted Goten to find someone to love him as much as I love Goku." She stared into Bura's eyes." Even your parents have more of a loving relationship then you have with Goten."

"You don't know anything about me!"

" I know enough about you. You're the same selfish little girl I've watched grow up and cause trouble for everyone. Goten can't see it, but I know you don't love him or your baby." Chichi wrinkled her nose." It makes me sick just thinking about it. The world would be better off without women like you."

"I...I love Goten very much, and the three of us are going to live happily together!" Even to Bura, her words sounded fake. She wanted to hurt Chichi somehow, so she said," Don't say another word to piss me off or else you'll never get to see your grandchild!"

Chichi left the room.

Then, Bura heard the door slam shut, and Chichi was back outside tending to the laundry.

Bura found the stairs and mumbled to herself. Chichi would regret every nasty word she said once she had the miscarriage. Everyone would feel sorry for her and shower her with lots of attention.

"Pan!" Bura shouted, running into Goten's bedroom, hoping to catch Pan before she escaped out the window or hid in the closet. Except for the half naked man hanging off the right side of his bed, there was no one else in the room.

Bura dropped to her knees and peeked beneath the bed. "Pan, come out!" Except for a dirty sock, it was remarkably clean beneath the bed.

"Oh my god! I'm going to kill her!" Bura growled.

She went to Goten's closet, but Pan wasn't hiding inside.

Bura collapsed on the left side of the bed, defeated.

Was it possible that she had gone too far faking a pregnancy, was that the reason why her best friend was avoiding her? She hated shopping at cheap stores outside the mall, but that's what she needed to do if she wanted to buy the fake blood. Pan wasn't going to help her.

"I feel so lonely," Bura sighed. A second later, without making a sound, Goten was pressed against her, pulling her into his bare chest. " Ah! Goten, what are you..." Bura froze, feeling something hard from Goten's boxers poking agaisnt her thigh." Oh my God!"

Goten rubbed his hands over Bura's back. He moaned and tightened his arm over her waist, changing their positions in an instant.


"I love it when I don't lift a finger and things naturally happen the way i want them to," Pan said. She turned up the volume on her musicpod, buried her hands underneath her head, and bounced her foot in tune with the music.

She expected Bura to barge into the bedroom an hour ago, but the princess failed to make an appearance. What was Bura doing? Pan could only guess that Bura went to Goten's room to search for her, and, well...hopefully they were making a real baby this time.

"Pan?"

Pan's foot stopped bouncing. She hurriedly sat up and tugged out both earbuds. Her eyes enlarged, spotting Trunks standing just outside Bura's room. He looked at her with suprise. He wasn't expecting to see her in Bura's bed.

"Where's Bura?"

"Oh, she's..."

"Keep it together girl!" She yelled inside her head. She touched her chest to keep her heart from busting out of it's cavity and running away. She had no idea why she was so terrified of lying to Trunks." Look at him. He trusts you! He's a sucker! Girl, you got this."

"She's..." Pan's voice rose, and she coughed to clear her throat. She did what anybody in her family would do in times of stressful confrontations, she laughed like a guilty idiot." She's...she's in the bathroom taking a bubble bath! Yeah! She'll probably be in there for a few hours."

Trunks turned his head in the direction of Bura's bathroom. He could plainly see into the room since the door was wide open. The bathtub glowed an eggshell white, clean of bubbles and a certain missing blue haired girl.

"Oh shit!" Pan squeaked." Shit, shit, shit!"

Trunks' face hardened, and his lips tensed.

Pan lightly hit her forehead." Oh, did i say bathroom? What i meant to say was...was..."

Trunks crossed his arms and glared at the nervous teen. He was not in the mood for one of Pan's annoying games. He would never lay a finger on her, but that wasn't what Pan was afraid of. She thought of their friendship as something special, and she didn't want to break the trust between them. If she told another blatant lie, Trunks might never forgive her.

Pan scratched her head as she thought of how to phrase her words.

"She's probably doing gross perverted stuff with my uncle. Should I tell Trunks this or should I just say she's hanging out with Goten and we shouldn't bother them for ten minutes?"

Pan scratched her chin." Hn, how long does it take to make a baby anyway? Ah, i know! I'll ask Trunks!"
