Chapter 9: Send in the ladies

Pan fluttered her eyes while slowly waking up, when she finally did she stretched a few times and then stepped out of the bed. A loud yawn escaped her lips as she headed to the bathroom. When she was younger she always wanted to be clean before going to bed, now somehow she was used to waking up and then washing herself. There was no other way she'd be awake before a shower and a cup of coffee. Pan had never been interested in coffee before, but clever Bra had sneaked it with her, just like the booze. She told Pan that her parents always drank coffee, apparently it was really a grown-up thing to do, and so they learned to drink it as well. Of course they thought it was absolutely gross the first year they drank it, but they slowly got used to it and now they even enjoyed the black stuff.

She scratched the back of her hair, searched for a brush and started to comb her hair, it was so long that it took forever before it was done these days. While she let the bathtub ran full of water she made some coffee and ate some breakfast, she still ate lots of food only not so much as she used to. It was okay to eat loads if you trained every day, but she didn't want to look like a pig when she'd be out the Chamber. Bra entered the scenery, she used to be up already by now, completely dressed and her hair and make-up perfect, but she wasn't these last couple of years. She had become a little bit of a slob, and Pan kind of liked that. Her hair was messy, her make-up was… clearly the same as last night, only on different places and her clothes where… pyjamas.

"Good morning, Bra. Are you ready for the last morning in the Time Chamber?"

"The last morning?" Suddenly Bra was completely awake. "Is it true?" Pan nodded.

"Yep, definitely true. In a few hours the door will unlock and we can walk out. We're grown ups now, Bra, and we have a whole new world to discover." Bra clapped her hands in excitement and quickly drank her coffee, she burned her tongue but she didn't care, see was too enthusiastic. After her coffee and some toast she ran to her bathroom and started to get ready for the 'big moment'. Pan ate her 8 pieces of toast, 4 eggs, 3 bowls of rice and 2 cups of coffee, then she hurried to the bathroom as well.

They made sure that, after they were dressed and all, everything was just like the way they left it. They collected all the equipment, clothes and other stuff that they had brought with them and stuffed their bags full.

Suddenly they heard a loud click, and the area started to shake a little, that was the sign.

"The door!" Pan exclaimed, "it's unlocked, we can get out now!"

"Oh my gosh, Pan, I'm so excited I think I'm gonna wet my pants!"

"Ew, Bra, gross!" They laughed nervously and slowly started to walk to the giant wooden door, Pan wanted to grab the doorknob but suddenly the door flew open.

There they saw two figures standing, one was big, round and black with a giant mouth and funny big eyes. The other one was small and green.

"Mr. Popo, Dende!" The girls both yelled, "what a surprise!"

"Long time no seen, Pan, Bra." Dende spoke with a large grin on his face.

"You don't know how true that is," Bra chuckled.

"Actually I have a fair idea," Dende answered. He took the two young women by their hands and lead them outside the Time Chamber. They looked over their shoulder one last time when slowly the large wooden door closed.

"Welcome back to the real world, girls.. Or wait I should say, ladies."

"Does anyone else know about what we did, Dende?" Bra couldn't help but ask.

Dende shook his head, "only Mr. Popo and I know about this. But they'll soon find out when they see you.

"They'll be so surprised!" Bra said, her face looking dreamy.

"They'll be angry, I bet!" Mr. Popo jumped in, "especially Chi Chi and Videl…"

Pan's eyes became big, "oh you are so right, mom and grandma are gonna kill me…"

"We definitely tell them that we'd been studying and training every day, that should ease the punishment!"

"Good idea, Bra." Pan looked a little happier.

"I hope you ladies have learned something from this," Dende tried again, "this machine isn't for playing, if I ever catch you near it again I'm going to lock you guys up there forever!"

"We're really sorry Dende-sama," they both bowed deeply to the Earth Guardian. "We'll never do it again."

"I'll make sure that you won't," but he didn't look so strict anymore."Now go and do your thing… Or whatever it is." The girls hugged first Dende and then Mr. Popo for the patience and the fact that they kept it secret for their friends and family. Then they took off, heading towards the earth.

"Watch it, if you fly like that, Pan," Bra said cheerfully, "I can see your panties!"

"Yikes!" Pan pressed her dress down with one hand, "thanks Bra!"

After what seemed like ages they felt the ki of Trunks and Goten, they were at the mall, in one of the cafés. They landed in a quiet spot, redid their make-up as well as they could, restyled their hair a bit and they were ready to shock the men. With a quick confident pace they walked to the right café, opened the door and entered. As expected, all eyes where on Pan and Bra this time –to Bra her relief- with the right expressions; the girls looked envious, jealous, the guys looked interested, surprised and approving.

"Oh, Bra, they're looking at us," Pan whispered happily, "they're actually looking at us. And I mean us, and not just you like they normally do, but also at me! I feel wonderful"

"Yes, Pan, you'll have to get used to that from now on."

"Should we walk over to Trunks and Goten now?"

Bra shook her head, "no way, we're gonna sit at this empty table and wait for them to come to us!" She added word to deed and sat down at a table close to the bar, Pan sat opposite of her.

It wasn't long after that –about 20 seconds- that the first group of guys appeared, there was a tall guy with a dark tan, sunglasses and the whitest teeth they had ever seen. His hair was bleached by the sun and so were his jeans. His friend was shorter, had brown hair, small green eyes and a greasy smile on his face. He was wearing baggy jeans and was shirtless, his skin was also tanned. The third one was big, really big, quite fat as well, he had funny curly hair, big puppy-brown eyes, a goatee and boring looking clothes. They were definitely ugly compared to Trunks and Goten.

"Heya, sexy ladies, can we offer you's a drink?" The tallest one with the sunglasses spoke.

Bra looked bored and yawned, this gesture seemed to hit the wrong string with the fat guy, "I know you type of girls, stuck up, that's what you's are."

"Oh, please," Bra spoke in her –everyone is my minion- tone, "go lose some weight…"

Clearly the fatty wanted to slap her arrogant face, but his friends held him back, "listen, Missy," it was the one that hadn't spoken yet, with the brown hair, "we just wanted to be nice, you don't have to get so cold on us."

"Excuse my friend here, will you," Pan quickly started before Bra could make the situation worse, "she's a little cranky because she's thirsty. We'd love you guys to get us a drink, we're simply dried out." The taller one let go of the fat one, and the three guys seemed to look happy with that answer, they turned around and headed towards the bar.

"What are you doing?" Bra hissed, "what if Goten thinks one of those guys is my boyfriend?"

"He won't think that, believe me. And anyway, he'll be jealous as hell."

The guys returned, with two Margarita's, "here you go, ladies, enjoy." The blonde-haired guy said politely, he had a sweet smile.

"Thank you," Pan spoke in the sweetest voice she had, and it seemed to work, all three guys turned as red as the blood on the grass after Trunks and Vegeta had done some 'training'.

"I wonder if they've even seen us," Bra whispered, soft enough for the three guys not to hear it but loud enough for Pan to understand.

"Don't worry, they have," her friend answered in all confidence, after all, she was the one that looked straight at their table.

** ** ** ** ** **

"Trunks, I think you better have a look…" Goten sounded surprised and excited at the same time. His friend looked to his right and was stunned, two young women had just entered the café, and they were the most beautiful creatures he had ever seen.

"They look so familiar…" Goten rubbed the back of his head.

"They do indeed, that blue-haired one looks just like my sister and that black-haired one looks just like…"

"Pan Son!" Goten exclaimed, "that is my niece, no doubt about it!"

"But… But… Pan is 13 and this woman must be around 20…"

"I know, it's insane but it's definitely her, even though she looks different, I can sense her ki."

"Damn, I didn't even thought of that," Trunks confessed, and he indeed tried to sense the ki of the girls, Goten was right though… it were Bra and Pan.

"But how on earth did they get older so quickly?"

"Beats me, but I like it…" Trunks smirked.

"I don't like those guys, though, "Goten's eyes became darker, if that was possible. A terrible feeling of jealousy awoke in his stomach, Trunks felt the same thing. They watched as the guys hung around the women and laughed when they saw Bra her bored face. They couldn't hear what the group was saying but the expressions told them a lot. They almost stood up when they saw the fat guy getting a little angry, but they could hold back and saw that Pan calmed them down. The boys got the girls a cocktail and sat down next to them.

"I don't know what you're gonna do, Goten," Trunks growled, "but I'm not gonna watch how those punks try to get into their pants, damn it." He stood up, Goten followed him, the same insane look in his eyes. They walked over to the group, there Trunks tapped the tallest guy on his shoulder, he turned his head and before he could blink his eyes Trunks had punched him and the poor guy was lying on the other side of the café. The other guys weren't sure if they wanted to stand up for their friend or not, after they saw the muscular Goten and Trunks they quickly turned around, grabbed their friend and left the café.

"Goten," Bra said with a surprised voice.

"Trunks!" Pan exclaimed, "what a surprise to see you guys here."

"Hmm," Trunks squinted his eyes and kept staring at Pan, Goten just looked at Bra with a goofy smile.

"Gee Bra," he grinned, "you look… different."

"Different?" Trunks sneered, "they've aged 7 years or so! Of course they look different!"

"You don't need to shout, Trunks," Goten said, a little hurt.

"Yeah, dude, relax," Bra sounded like Bulma there. She turned her head towards Goten and gave him a sexy smile. Then she stood up and spun around, "how do I look, Goten?" Stunning, she was stunning, beautiful, absolutely gorgeous. She was wearing jeans, really short jeans, that were really…really…really tight. She wore a white, laced tanktop that was kind of …see through –though she was wearing a bra. Her hair was shorter than he remembered, but it looked wild and sexy, he loved it! Somehow she didn't look that, dollish anymore, she looked more mature and a bit.. tougher.

"You're beautiful," Goten finally brought out, "I have no words for it, you're a 12 outta 10."

She laughed, it sounded lovely in his ears, and before he knew it she sat down and he was sitting down next to her, really close.

Now Trunks had a hard time as well, he was also baffled, by this new Pan. She took the example of Bra, jumped on her feet and spun around to show off her new… 'looks'. She was wearing a light blue dress, also laced, it ended just above her knees and had a beautiful flowery pattern on it. She was wearing high heeled sandals, the same colour as her dress. Her hair was lose, and she wasn't wearing the bandana –hadn't wore that for years now. Of course her hair was really long now, it ended over her behind. She also wore make-up, she never had that on when she was 13, it was subtle but accentuated her beauty perfectly. Trunks was, like I said before, baffled by this sudden beauty, this tomboyish duckling that had turned into a beautiful feminine swan.

"Well, Trunks, are you gonna say something, or what?" Pan said impatiently, with her hands on her hips. Trunks shook his head, like he was trying to clear his head of the impure thoughts that were there and stuttered. "Eh, yes, well… You look… nice."

So that was it, 7 years in the Time Chamber, learning to be a girl, walking on high heels, putting on make-up, letting her hair grow and putting on girly clothes, and all he could say was "you look nice"? She was angry, really angry.

"Wrong move, Trunks," Bra whispered to her brother as Pan her eyes almost seem to turn bloodshot, it seemed like she was going to punch him in his face, that was what he expected. Instead, she looked at him with tears in her eyes, then she turned around and ran outside.

"Well I'll be damned," Goten stated, "was she… crying?"

Trunks felt a little disappointed that she didn't punch him, but the fact that he made her cry made him feel terrible. He threw some money on the table for his drinks and then he chased after Pan.
