Chapter 20

Anniversary Gifts

"Pan I think something's wrong with Goten." Bra's eyes moved side to side looking around nervously.

"What are you talking about?" Pan watched her friend.

"He's so...different now."

"Different …"

Bra nodded. "He barely stays in the house anymore. And he kisses me on the cheek before running off."

Pan shrugged. "Maybe he's busy a lot. I mean, exams are coming up in a few weeks. He could be studying. Or maybe he got a job...?"

Bra shook off her suggestions. "I didn't finish yet. Two days ago, on Saturday, I asked Goten if he wanted breakfast before he ran off and he said…he wasn't hungry." She almost cried.

Pan opened her eyes wide. "He said that?!" Bra nodded. "Those actual words came out of his mouth?"

"Pan I'm not deaf." Bra put a hand on her hip.

"Whatever. Wow, this is serious." She put a hand on her chin and wondered out loud. "Maybe he's sick…No that gives him an excuse to eat more…Listen Bra, I gotta get to my next class in two minutes. I'll check it out and tell you what I find, okay?" She hugged her friend and raced to her Literature class.

Bra leaned back in her seat in the coffee shop and looked up at the ceiling. "Oh Goten. What's wrong with you…?" And she ordered another cup of coffee.

The rest of the week went by pretty normally for Bra, until Friday came.

"Bra I think I have a reason for Goten's weird behavior. In two more weeks it's our anniversary! Don't you see?"

Bra nodded slowly at Pan before saying no. Pan rolled her eyes and sighed. "I know my uncle. He has had many, MANY girlfriends before you. But he has NEVER had a one year anniversary with them."

Bra looked at her friend. "No way! Really?"

Pan nodded and Bra sat down in the class. "Wow."

At that point, Michelle entered the class. "Hey girls."

Pan and Bra looked at each other. Michelle never spoke to them…unless she wanted something.

"Can we help you Michelle?" Pan put a hand on her hips.

"Well, we had some openings for cheerleaders and I wanted to know if you'd be interested." She smiled at them.

Bra chuckled sarcastically. "What's the catch? You ain't this nice to people."

"There's no catch. But, as you know, everyone must sacrifice something. Time, money… endless possibilities. But in your case, I'll make an exception." She looked at them in the eyes. "Boyfriends gotta go…or come to me." She licked her lips. Everyone wanted to be a cheerleader, but only the chosen few got called. If there was something Michelle wanted, that person got the green light as a cheerleader…once she got it of course. And right now, she wanted Trunks and Goten.

Pan kept her cool as she spoke. "Go fuck yourself. Why the hell would we give you our boyfriends?!"

Michelle staggered back. Once hearing cheerleader, most people threw themselves at her feet! She exhaled and tried again. "Are you sure that's your final answer?"

Bra crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair. "You heard us, bitch. Now get the fuck outta here before we make you regret it." She glared at Michelle as she flicked her hair over her shoulder and walked out the class.

When she disappeared down the hall, Pan huffed. "Who does she think she is?!"

Bra looked at her with a calm face. "Easy girl. She just thinks she can get what she wants. She a spoiled brat, almost worse than Marron."

"Marron? What do you mean?"

"Huh? Marron? Who put her in this?" Bra avoided Pan's eyes.

"Bra...spill." Pan fixed her friend a steely gaze.

Bra sighed and finally spoke about how Marron had taken Trunks, then made it right in the end. When she finished, she sighed. "Sorry girl. I figured you should've known."

Pan listened with her face serious and showing little emotion. When it was over she sighed. "Well it's done and dead now. I should get to class now.

Bra watched her friend. "Wow. No big out burst?"

"Why should I? I mean, she did what was right, didn't she? No point reviving something dead. I'm going now. Bye!"

Bra looked at her leave. "Yeah. Bye." The next day, Bra ran to Pan who was listening to music in her room. "Pan I have evidence!"

Pan unplugged her headphones. "Evidence for what?"

"Goten. Listen to this." She pulled out a recorder and pressed play.

"Hey Trunks I'm gonna go clean out that house you recommended. It was pretty big, but Ms Nosi seemed pretty glad her junk's finally gonna go. She'd do it herself but she's so old she can't even bend!"

They laughed. "Oh come on Goten! She's only 30 or 40 something. And she can bend. It's just been a long time since she ever cleared out the old house."

"Hey all the better for me."

"Maybe you could always do a blowjob in her yard. The neighbor's so old he can't help a bit. Not to mention, I heard she had a daughter. If the daughter has a house herself…"

"It means more money for me!" They high fived each other and Goten left.

Pan squinted into the distance. "Were you really spying on them?!"

"No! I wired Goten so that I could know what he was up to."

Pan looked at her friend. "Shouldn't you trust Goten enough not to do that?"

"I do but…" Bra dropped it. "Didn't you hear that? He said blowjob! He's dating an older woman!" Bra started to sob and Pan put an arm around her.

"Hey come on. I'm sure it's not what it looks like. Maybe…"She couldn't think of anything and only hugged a miserable Bra.

The days went by quickly and Bra kept the secret to herself. She didn't want Goten to know that she knew his secret. Finally the anniversary was here.

"Morning Bra." Goten kissed her on the lips. "Happy anniversary. I wish I could stay, but I have a class first thing this morning. I'll make it up to you by making dinner, okay?" He bathed, put on some clothes, and ran out.

Bra sighed. He was lying. There was no school today. Bra felt miserable. He probably went to his older woman.

"Oh well." She sighed and made her to the bathroom to bathe. She heard Pan and Trunks giving each other an early anniversary gift in bed.

Later on, Pan told Bra that he brought her breakfast in bed. Bra sighed. She thought Goten loved her. How wrong she was.

When Goten came back home, it was after 5. He told Pan and Bra to stay in the room until dinner was ready. Pan giggled as she ushered a miserable Bra into the room.

"Okay Bra. As much as it may be hurting you, don't be so down. You haven't even asked Goten yet! And don't forget. It's me and Trunks' anniversary too, so cheer up."

Bra nodded and looked beyond Pan's shoulder. Marron had been there earlier and she gave them statues of little Cupids to put on their dressing tables. She would've stayed but she figured it would be a burden for a third wheel at an anniversary. Bra turned back to Pan and smiled. "Betcha ten bucks the kitchen's in a total mess."

Pan pondered. "Make it five and we got a deal."

Bra went to bed five bucks richer that night. The kitchen was a mess. Smoke was on the ceiling, the oven was open and scarred beyond recognition, the pots and pans were burned beyond recovery, and Trunks and Goten were red in the face yelling at each other.

"What do you mean you can't cook?! It should run in the family! Chichi's an excellent cook!"

"Oh yeah? Well why don't yoi just hire my mom to cook dinner for us?! I'm sure she'd LOVE to cook for us, mister 'I can do anything' scientist!"

Pan cleared her throat and as they watched her, she and Bra burst into laughter.

"Just when I think my darling Trnks can do anything, he can't cook! So how did I get breakfast?"

Trunks twiddled with his fingers. "Ummm, 24-hour serving?"

Pan and Bra died on the floor laughing. When they finally got up, Bra wiped her tears. "Whoo! Well since our stove and oven is gone, I think we better order from a restaurant."

"Already said and done, sis." Trunks walked out of the room on his iPhone and called a well known restaurant. Before they could open their mouth, the food was already at their door.

Dinner went on in silence till the end. Then everyone said it was delicious.

Goten cleared his throat. "Bra, there's something I have to tell you."

"I already know, Goten."

"Oh man! You do?! Who told you?!" He looked at Trunks who shook his head. Pan spoke up.

"Goten she knows you were cheating on her with an older woman. She heard you and Trunks talking about it." She made them listen to the tape.

When it finished, Goten looked at Bra. "Did you really think this meant..." She nodded. "Shit, Bra." He murmured. He walked over to her, pulled her up from her seat and hugged her tightly. "I would never EVER cheat on you, especially not with an old lady!"

"But the house...and the blowjob..."

"I was working. And the blowjob as in leaves. Her neighbor's tree is blowing them into her yard and she couldn't do anything because she has a bad hip."

"But the day you weren't hungry..."

"I was planning to enter a food eating contest and I wanted to win. I had to get the money, so every spare minute I had I worked."

"If you wanted money, why didn't you just ask me?"

"I couldn't ask for money to give you your gift."

Bra looked up at him as he spoke. "Bra, since I knew you, I loved you. I never knew if you would have felt the same way so I kept quiet. When we first mated, I couldn't believe I actually kissed you. And now here we are." He got down on one knee. "Bra, I'm not rich, and you're worth way more than I or anyone else could buy but..." he fished in his pocket and produced a small box. "I can't imagine life without you and I want to spend every moment I can with you." He opened the box and produced a diamond ring. "All I really want to say is...I love you." He slipped the ring on her finger and stood up. She ran into his arms and kissed him.

Pan looked on and smiled when she heard a cough behind her. "I do believe that my own mate deserves something. I am, I admit, richer than Goten, but I got you something I knew you'd like. Ever since I met you, I knew you were special. When we mated, you made me feel complete. No other girl I ever knew made me feel that way. I love you, Panny. Now close your eyes."

Pan did as she was told and felt something warm and cold touch her neck. When she looked down, she had a silver chain with a heart pendant on it.

Trunks kissed her shoulder. "You'll get your ring later."

When she opened the pendant, it had a picture of her and Trunks and the other side wrote "Cutest Couple Ever".

"I love it Trunks." She kissed him. "I love you."

With the girls in their arms, Trunks and Goten smiled at each other. Then Trunks pulled out his camera. Goten did the same. On it had proof that odd jobs were not all Goten and Trunks did. They even worked in a strip club and they had pictures of each other. They were gonna show them to the girls, but that would mean risking the question WHY were they in the club. So they would delete the pictures… tomorrow.

Bra looked down. "I didn't even get you a gift." Goten smiled at her.

"Don't worry. Me and Trunks did some shopping. And voila." He pulled out two sets of lingerie and threw one to Trunks. "This could be your gift to me." Bra laughed as she pulled Goten upstairs. Trunks and Pan were downstairs alone. They sat down.

"Pan I am so sorry for what I did to you with Marron."

"Trunks don't worry. It's water under the bridge. Besides. It wasn't your fault. I knew Marron liked you since that nightmare fiasco. Not oly did I hear everything, I smelled her all over you." She went on to tell Trunks about what Bra told her about Marron.

He didn't take it so well. "What?! How could she do that? When I-"

"Trunks." She put a hand on his shoulder. "Its already done. She did the right thing so let it go."

He looked at her. "Panny, you're a great person. You didn't deserve that and I promise I'll make it up to you."

She winked. "Tell me something I don't know."

He kisssed heer then whispered on her lips. "I haven't gotten my gift yet."

She pulled him to their room unbuttoning his shirt as they went. "Then let's go." She kicked the door to their room as. they went inside. And as it locked, we all know what happened then.

-A/N: It would be nice if it ended here right? WRONG. On with the SHOW!-

After Bra and Goten had their fill of sex, they went downstairs to watch a late night movie. Goten put his head in Bra's lap and stroked her leg while she stroked his hair. He talked to her mind.

-We are gonna be so happy together when we get married.-

-Of course. As soon as you tell my father.-

-Oh yeah. Your father. What's his name again? Radish…turnip…I'm sure it had something to do with a veggie or a vegetable…-

She laughed. -No honey. It's VEGETA.-

-Oh yeah.-

He continued stroking her leg. Then he stopped. Bra felt Goten's fingers freeze and as she watched him, she saw that all color drained from him.

He shot up from Bra's lap. "VEGETA?! BRA YOUR FATHER'S GONNA MURDER ME!"

"Calm down Goten. He won't murder you."

"Riiight. Then a few years from now, it'll be 'Hey what happened to Goten? I dunno. Nobody ever heard from him again."

Bra laughed. "Fine then Goten. I'll talk to him. You'll live."

Goten settled back into Bra's lap and they spoke in their minds again. At one point, Bra threw Goten on the couch and jumped him.

"If you don't take me up to our bed, I'm taking you right now, right here."

Goten flew Bra up to their room and this time, they didn't come down.

Well that's all folks. R&R please!
