A/N- Hey! Thanx for the nice reviews! ^_^ I love hearing what people think about my story. Anyways, for anyone who is interested, I redid my other story. It used to be called This is Just Not Right! (And now it's called Finding True Love) But I was reading it Friday and I noticed that I had made a lot of mistakes. So I completely redid it. If you read it before and liked, try reading it again. Personally, I think it's MUCH better…but anyways, here's chapter 10. Wow, I'm already on chapter 10, that is so kool!!!!!!!!!! Err…….

Pan once again awoke to the comfort of the cozy bed, the silken sheets nonchalantly covering her petite form. She stretched her body and looked around in ecstasy. She could certainly get used to this. Only one thing was missing…She smirked mischievously as she replayed the enchanting scene in her mind over and over. Who would have known that the prince was such a good kisser? She giggled to herself and hopped out of bed. She was missing a lot of work. Looking down at her tattered dress, she tried to decide on the most appealing excuse that would best explain her current condition.

A loud, booming knock startled Pan out of her reverie. Before she could react, the door opened, and Bra and Goten strolled in, appearing to be very worried.

"Hi! Long time no see," Pan said, giving Goten a hug and the princess a smile. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, for one thing I had to drop Bra off," Goten gave Bra an affectionate grin that she sweetly returned. "And also, I wanted to make sure my favorite niece was alright. Word on the street says that there was a young girl raped by some drunken freaks. And as if by coincidence, it happened about the same time that you left our house. So, is it true, Panny?" Goten queried, a stern look overcoming his handsome features.

"Yeah, it is," She hesitated, trying to defeat her strong urge to break down into tears. Bra and Goten gasped, shocked, even though they had expected it to be true. "But…but he saved me. Just when I was most scared, he came. Isn't that ironic?" Pan smiled, a faraway look in her ebony eyes.

Goten and Bra glanced at each other with the same puzzled expression.

"Who are you talking about, Pan?" Bra spoke for the first time since arriving.

"Trunks."

"So you're trying to tell me that my no-good, lazy, idiotic brother saved you?"

"Yup…"Pan sighed, looking like a love-sick puppy. Bra shook her head and Goten snickered at his niece's unusual behavior.

"So, Pan, are you going to the ball with Trunks?" Pan snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Bra in bewilderment.

"Ball? What ball?"

"You know, the ball. Well, maybe you wouldn't know. Anyways, there's to be a ball tonight. I'm surprised Trunks hasn't mentioned it."

"Oh, wait. Now I know what you're talking about," Pan scowled. "I was so supposed to go with that jerk, Ubuu."

"Umm…I don't think you'll have to worry about going with Ubuu. We saw him up in the front with this blonde girl and they were looking pretty cozy."

"What! That rude, obnoxious idiot! First, he keeps trying to make moves on me, then, he gets me in trouble with my father, and now! Now, he's cheating on me! That's just great! Well, then I guess I won't be going to the ball."

"No, don't say that. It's still a wonderful event. You should go anyways, even if you have no date. You can always dance with someone there. Just take the rest of the day off, Pan. You can take a rest and then, when time for the ball, you can borrow a dress and I'll do your hair and stuff for you." Bra planned, unaware of Pan's opposing actions.

"I don't think so, Bra…"

"Why not? It'll be tons of fun."

"It's just…"

"Pan doesn't like dressing up and stuff," Goten completed for her, rolling his eyes.

"What?!" Bra exclaimed, looking nearly horrified. "How can you not?"

"Well, it's not like I have anything fancy to wear, and my hair was always left in a ponytail or something. And I guess, I grew up as a tomboy."

"Well, Pan, tonight there will be no exceptions. You will go to that ball, and I will make you into a total girl. Besides, you want to impress Trunks, don't you?" Bra winked as Pan shot daggers at her uncle who laughed at her obvious embarrassment.

"Ok, Bra. I'll do whatever you say…"

"Yes!" Bra grabbed Pan and pulled her away from the room, leaving behind a very amused Goten.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After Pan finished the bubble bath that Bra pretty much forced her to take, she stood in Bra's room, trying to adjust the over-sized robe that she was wearing.

"Okay, we only have two hours to get ready, so promise that you'll be cooperative." Pan nodded and Bra searched throughout her gigantic wardrobe, looking for the perfect dress for Pan to wear.

"Found it!!!" Pan heard Bra squeal. She walked over for a closer look, but Bra hid the dress behind her back.

"Not yet, I want it to be a surprise."

"Oh, alright."

"Now go sit over there." Pan meekly scampered over to the chair that Bra pointed to, not wanting to know what might happen to her if she refused to obey the stubborn girl.

"So, who are you going with?" Pan asked, as Bra began to brush her long hair, rather roughly. A large fit of giggles escaped from Bra's mouth as she started to blush uncontrollably.

"This might freak you out, but I'm going with your uncle."

"Goten? Why would you want to go with him?"

"Pan, are you blind?! Who wouldn't want to go out with him? I mean he's so kind and really cute. And, well, he's kinda naïve, but that just makes him even more adorable! And-" Bra started to giggle again, "And he's a great kisser!" Pan scrunched her eyes in disgust.

"Eww, Bra! Did you have to tell me all of that?" Bra laughed again, and Pan, despite the bizarre situation, found herself chortling, too. Maybe it was because of the anticipation of the upcoming ball, or maybe it was because of the merriment that Bra brought with her bubbly personality, but for some strange reason, Pan felt absolutely delighted, no worries clouding up her young mind, no regrets, no sorrow. She could most certainly get used to this.

After a long period of talking and laughing, Bra proudly stepped away from Pan and held up a mirror.

"There! I'm finally done with your hair."

"Wow, Bra, this looks amazing… Thanks…" Her thick dark hair was lightly curled and elegantly piled on her head. Already, a few stubborn curls fell about, framing her small face and accentuating her slender neck.

"Hehe…I'm glad you like it. Okay, now for the dress." Bra handed Pan the most beautiful dress she had ever seen in her life. It was a silky pale blue with hints of silver whenever the light shimmered on it. It was floor length and short sleeved and had a dark silver sash slightly above her stomach.

"Wow…this is so beautiful," Pan breathed in astonishment.

"I knew you'd like it!" Bra chirped happily. "Now hurry up and try it on!" Pan was ushered into the bathroom and she took off her old ragged dress. She pulled on the dress, mindful of her hair, and smiled. Bra was right; this was the perfect dress. She exited from the bathroom and Bra squeaked with glee.

"You look soooooooooooooooo good!!! You will totally amaze Trunks!" Pan blushed and thanked Bra, who quickly waved it off.

"Don't be silly, Pan," she said. "Even though you don't show it, I know how much this means to you." Pan secretly smiled.

If only she knew…

A/N- Ok, this chapter wasn't that interesting, but it was pretty fun to write. Next chapter will be much better though, if things go as planned. Hehe… Now, I have to go work on my other story, I hope I'll be able to work on both stories and not stay behind. It's hard though, especially when people argue about how short they are or whatever. I mean, I'm flattered that people like my story so much that want to read more, but I have a life, too, you know. And actually whenever I try to make longer chapters and I'm not into it, it'll just turn out lame. So please stop complaining about my short chapters! No offense to anyone. ^_^ Ok, thanks to everyone who reviewed, and cookies for everyone!!!!!!!!!! *Everyone eagerly grabs cookie* And guess what? They're home made!!! ^_^ *Everyone quickly spits out cookie* Oh, fine….-_- *hands out store bought cookies*. See ya next chapter!!! ^_^
