Chapter 9: New Life

THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS! I swear I love you all so much! I know that this chapter was smaller compared to the others, but I think it's fine because if I would have written anymore, the whole thing would've been ruined!

Bulma had taken all of them to a VERY expensive dress shop. All of the gowns there looked like the clothes princesses would wear. And what had surprised Pan the most, was that Bulma had reserved the whole shop for them so that not even ONE customer besides them was allowed inside.

Pan wandered through the endless isles looking for the perfect dress that "captured her soul" as Bra says. She looked at many dresses but never saw the perfect one. All of them were too small, too inappropriate or too fancy. Pan sighed as she went to the front of the shop and leaned against the counter. Chi-Chi was looking at a black dress, while Bulma and Videl were in the dressing rooms and Bra was trying to decide between two dresses.

Pan went through all of the dresses once again trying to find the perfect one. When she didn't, she looked around the shop until something caught her eye. A voucher which was set on the counter next to her. Pan picked it up to see it was an advertisement for a beauty treatment. They would so everything, haircuts, nails, perfume, dressing, massaging, everything!

Pan looked at it for a second and then went to a mirror to look at herself. She looked at her waist-long hair that was currently tucked inside of her bandana, her baggy clothes and finally her face. She sighed and looked up again, this time determined.

She looked around to see bulma coming out of the dressing room and ran to her.

"Bulma!"

"What's wrong Pan? Did you find your dress yet?"

"Well no, but can I talk to you for a second?" Pan asked with a hint of seriousness in her voice. Bulma immediately turned to look at her and nodded. She led Pan to a corner near the dressing rooms.

"What is it?"

Pan leaned against the wall with her hands behind her back. "Honestly speaking Bulma, I want to change"

"Change? Why?"

"Because, no that me and Bra have finally met you, and I don't really think we'll really want to go back to Lyle house, I want to put the past behind me and look to the future. I want to change myself!" Pan said determined once again and showed Bulma the voucher. Bulma took it from Pan and looked at it for a second before smiling.

"Alright then, this place is part of the shop we're currently in, I'll go talk to the manager about where to find it."

But before she could leave, Pan grabbed her by her wrist. "Bulma can you please do me one more favor?" Pan asked looking at the ground

"Sure, what is it Pan?"

"Don't tell anyone about this, I want to surprise them" Pan answered looking up.

Bulma looked at her for a second and then smiled "Don't worry, you can trust me"

Pan nodded and let go. After a while Bulma came back with a lady.

"Pan, go with her she'll take you to this place" She said holding up the voucher. "Oh and don't worry about the others, I told them that you already got your dress and went to eat somewhere."

Pan nodded and started following the other lady, but stopped in the middle. She turned around to Bulma and hugged her, surprising the older woman.

"Thank you" Pan whispered before running up to catch the lady. Bulma just stared in front of her before a smile tugged on her lips. "You're welcome" she whispered.

*WITH PAN*

Pan had followed the lady to the back of the store, where there was an elevator. Both got in and the elevator began moving downwards.

"Our salon is in the basement, I'm Kayla by the way."

"I'm Pan". Pan introduced herself as a ding was heard and the elevator stopped.

"Alright then, we're here."

Pan followed Kayla outside and was surprised at what she saw. In front of her was a beautiful shop, with Baby pink walls with heart patterns on them. The floor was covered with a dark pink carpet. There was a beautiful lavender aroma in the whole salon. There were also countless women who all looked bored.

"What…?"

"I'm sorry, but we don't really get many customers here, Twice a week maybe but that's it."

"Why? This is such a nice place"

"I know, but it's also very expensive. Only rich people like Mrs. Briefs are able to afford a treatment here. Now please go change into this so that we may begin your treatment" Kayla instructed handing Pan a towel and leading her to the dressing rooms.

When Pan came out, she was only wearing the towel that Kayla had given to her. She had even taken off her bandana. When she stepped out, all of the women in the room gasped

"I'm working on her hair!"

"I get her nails!"

"I'm washing her hair!"

"I'll go get the dresses!"

"I'm giving her a massage first!"

"I'm doing her make-up!"

And in an instant, Pan was crowded as the woman began to do their work.

*TWO HOURS LATER AT THE PARTY*

The party was taking place in a huge garden overly decorated with fountains and such. The grass was cut short to avoid dirtiness. Everyone present was wearing formal suits or dresses, even Chi-Chi and Bulma had managed to get Goku and Vegeta into suits. The people had formed groups, and each group was either sitting on a sheet laid on the ground or on the tables. All of the Z-warriors were already present and were seated on a very large round table.

"Guys where's Pan and Bra?" Videl asked curiously looking around the circle.

Marron snorted "Who cares about them anyway?" That earned her a death glare from Bulma and Chi-Chi.

"Well I don't know about Pan, but I'm here!" a voice announced from behind. They turned to look at Bra who had her hip-long aqua hair down and was wearing light make-up that matched perfectly with her dress (I'm not really good at describing dresses so I decided that i would just paste the links here, so that you guys can see for yourself's. But unfortunately, the links won't come on the fanfiction and not even on my profile. So if any of you know how to post links on fanfiction, please tell me! Thank you!).

Everyone on the table was now staring at Bra with wide eyes. Goten's jaw was on the floor. "Ummm… so what do you think?" Bra asked twirling her dress around a bit.

"Beautiful!" Chi-Chi exclaimed.

"Just what I'd expect from a briefs!"

"You look amazing darling"

"Thanks guys" Bra sat down between her brother and mother.

"Umm… so where's Pan?" Bra asked.

"Don't worry about her she'll be here soon enough" Bulma replied.

*HALF AND HOUR LATER*

"Guys I'm gonna go search for Pan"

"Gohan relax I'm sure she's on her way here this very second!" Bulma assured.

"You're the ONLY one who's not worried Bulma, do you know something?" Gohan asked suspiciously.

"I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about!"

They all were too busy arguing, that they didn't notice the black limousine stopping at the entrance. A young girl entered through the silver gates of the garden. All of the talking stopped as the girl made her way through to a specific table.

The Z-warriors noticing all of the guests quiet down stopped arguing and looked at the source of all of the silence. When their eyes fell on the teenage girls, many glassed slipped through hands, and many jaws dropped to the floor. Bra stood up slowly and gulped.

"P…Pan…is…t-that….y-you?"

"The one and only"

There stood Pan wearing the most beautiful dress in the world perhaps. Her hair was cut, and now reached 4-5 above her knees. Her hair had been layered, and her red highlights were more bright, and were surrounded with a line of golden highlight, making it glow. Her long bangs had been cut and were now a side fringe. She was wearing light making. She smiled nervously at the table.

"So, are you all just gonna stare at me all day?"

Keep reading! MAJOR TrunksxPan moment coming up!
