Chapter 53- Girls Just Want To Have Fun
The little robot T20O6, or also known as Giru was easily fixed by Bulma. Upon awakening, Giru remembered the last thing he was told to do; an order from Trunks telling him to find Pan and warn her. Giru was a little more than shocked to see how things had changed, and he was quite wary too. Often checking all around him for any signs of the Machine Mutant known as Baby. After Trunks and Pan calmed him down he was back to his normal, metal eating, slightly annoying self.
Everything was slowly falling back into place for the people who remembered Baby. Everyone else had no memory of the monster whom controlled their bodies for almost a year.
Pan, knowing all the high up people she does was able to take her ninth grade exams. Luckily, Pan had studied out in the abyss of space during the Grand Tour making it easy for her to pass her exam with flying colors. To celebrate the joy of fixing to be a Sophomore, Bra talked her mother, Pan, ChiChi, and Videl into a daylong shopping trip.
True to Bra's word, the women were out all day. It wasn't until early evening that day when they arrived back at the Son household. As the three older women of the group sat down in the kitchen to drink tea and rest their aching feet, the two teens hopped up to Pan's room to put away her new clothes.
"I love all our new clothes," Bra said as her and Pan were almost finished putting them away. "I can't wait to wear them to school." She paused as she saw her best friend roll her eyes; provoking the Saiyan Princess to make a teasing joke. "With all the new clothes you got at the mall, I bet the boys will have a hard time keeping their eyes off of you; especially my brother," smirked Bra as she wiggled her eyebrows suggestively towards Pan.
Pan rolled her eyes, "With no luck from the boys at school. I'm taken, remember?"
"I know, but that's what's so fun about it!" squealed Bra.
The girls began to make their way down the stairs, Bra continuing on with her speech. "You have no idea how happy I am that you studied out in space; I don't know what I would do another year without you."
"Yeah," said Pan a slight smile on her face. "Papa thought it was weird for me to be studying, but I didn't want to get behind."
"Did Trunks help you study any?" Bra asked; wiggling her eyebrows again.
"Shut up," Pan said pushing her friend lightly as a small blush encased her cheeks. "You know Trunks and I didn't start dating until after Baby was defeated."
"Yeah, but he kissed you before then!" Bra said nudging her blushing friend.
"Nothing like that happened on the Grand Tour!" Pan said aspirated.
"Uh huh," said Bra nodding her head with a smile.
It was September 1st, the first day of school for students attending Orange Star High. Thanks to Trunks and his useful Instant Transmission, he picked up Pan and Goten in the morning- that way they didn't have to fly into the city.
"Are you nervous about coming back?" Bra asked Pan as the school came into sight.
"Not really," Pan said with a shrug. "Can't be worse than Baby, right? What does everyone think happened to me anyway?"
"Everyone believes you were in Britain for a whole year with Trunks. The press soon realized you two were missing, so to stop the rumors before they came out my mom told them you got a scholar ship from there, and so you wouldn't be alone, Trunks went to go work with the Britain branch of Capsule Corp for a while." Pan laughed lightly; the reporters were way too gullible. There wasn't even a Britain branch of Capsule Corp!
As the two girls came closer to the school, kids began to notice Pan was back, and whispers soon started going around. They were almost at the door when Bra elbowed Pan in the ribs before motioning her head to the side; following her gaze, Pan saw Jeff looking right at her as he sat by his friends.
"Just shoot me now," muttered Pan as they walked into the building. She hadn't seen Jeff since the day her father had returned as a child, and Trunks had come to get her.
Bra and Pan quickly got their schedules and smirked when they saw they had every class together- like they did every year. The two girls were on the way to their lockers when something caught their eyes. It was two Seniors by the name of Garret and Sean. They were picking on a girl who Bra nor Pan had never seen before; she looked to be in their grade.
"Hey!" Pan yelled at the two boys.
Garret and Sean turned around; smirking when they saw Pan and Bra walking over to them. The girl bent down to pick up her books. "Leave her alone," Pan said stopping just a few feet away from the boys.
"Aw, look little Pan Son is back," Garret told Sean who smirked.
"Say Son, what are you going to do if we don't leave the new girl alone?" Sean asked her; crossing his arms with an evil sneer.
Pan placed her clenched fist on her hip as she took a step closer to Sean. Standing at her full height she looked up at him with a nasty growl. Never say a short girl can't be intimidating.
"You do not want to find out," said Pan.
"I suggest you boys leave," Bra said looking at the two boys.
"Let's go," Garret said; turning around. "It's not even worth my time."
Pan watched the boys go for a second before bending down and helping the new girl grab her papers.
"Thank you," she told Pan as she stood up.
She was around the same height as Bra and Pan with light brown hair what came down to her shoulders in waves. She had chocolate-brown eyes with little freckles spread out across her nose.
"I hope those two weren't too mean to you. Orange Star High has a rep for trashing newbies," said Bra.
The new girl just shrugged, "Thanks for coming in when you did."
"No problem," Pan told her smiling. "I'm Pan Son by the way."
"I'm Bra Briefs," the blue-haired teen introduced herself.
"I'm Avery Jones," The new girl said smiling. "It's nice to meet you two."
Bra and Pan shared a look before smiling slightly. "Just stay with us Avery," Pan said linking her left arm with the girl's right. "We'll make sure no one messes with you again."
"Yeah," Bra said smiling as she slid her arm under Avery's free one.
"Plus we need another musketeer to be complete."
"All for one, and one for all?" Avery queried, still partially confused.
"Already fitting in, splendid," said Pan.
The girls were happy to find out that Avery's schedule was almost exactly like theirs with a few minor differences. The important thing was though they started the day together in first period and ended it together in eighth period.
"You two will love the new English teacher," Bra informed Pan and Avery. "She's a goof."
Pan walked into the room and froze; sitting at the desk was Issac's mother.
"Mrs. Johnson! How was your summer?" Bra asked walking towards her desk. Slowly Pan began walking to the desk as well and caught up with Bra and Avery.
"This is the famous Pan Son I've told you about," Bra said motioning towards Pan. She then motioned towards Avery, "And this is our new friend Avery Jones."
"Welcome to Orange Star Ms. Jones," Mrs. Johnson told Avery smiling before turning towards Pan. "Your class mates have told me a lot about you Ms. Son, it's nice to finally meet you."
"Thank you," said Pan politely smiling back. "Is that your son?" She asked recognizing a picture of Issac.
"He sure is," Mrs. Johnson said smiling. "His name is Issac, just turned three a few months ago."
"He's a cutie," said Avery.
"Thank you, he can be a real handful when he wants to be though."
"Well if you'd like, I could babysit him sometime while you grade papers", Pan told the woman.
"Yeah, I would be more than happy to help too," Bra added when Pan gave her a quick look.
"Thank you girls, it's nice to know I had such helpful students."
The girls made their way to the second row, middle table. Pan got stationed in the middle and when Jeff walked in the room she held in a silent groan.
"What was that babysitting thing about?" Bra asked Pan, and Avery listened up confused as well.
"Remember that boy I told you that Trunks and I met over the summer? The one we got to call Goten cootie face?" Pan stretched the story out a bit because Avery was listening, but Bra understood her and nodded for her to continue.
"Hey Son," said Jeff as him and his friend Levi sat at the table in front of the girls.
Pan didn't look up at him as she held up her hand, "Wait a minute, I'm talking."
Bra smirked at Jeff's face as Pan continued. "Mrs. Johnson is his mom."
"Really?" Bra asked, "Looks like my brother was right."
"Yeah, Trunks really liked Issac."
Pan could see Jeff's jaw tighten slightly; he didn't like Trunks at all.
Trunks was what stood in his way of having Pan to himself and showing her off, or so he thought.
"Pan?" Asked Jeff; trying to get her attention again.
Pan huffed as she looked up at Jeff with an annoyed look. "Can't you tell I'm busy? Give me a minute," Pan told him as she went back into conversation.
"I hope we can babysit him soon," said Bra.
"You two would love him," Pan told Bra and Avery.
"Pan, Avery can you two please bring me your schedules?" Mrs. Johnson said looking at her screen.
"Yes ma'am," the girls replied together as they stood.
"I'll deal with Jeff," said Bra in a low voice that only Pan's Saiyan hearing heard it.
"Hey Jeff, if was you I would leave Pan alone," Bra told him.
"Why should I?" Said Jeff as he tipped his nose in the air.
"She's taken."
"Let me guess, your brother?" Snorted Jeff.
"Yes my brother," Bra told him smirking. "If you don't want him to beat you up so badly you wish you were dead; then I would leave Pan alone. You do still remember the Martial art tournament, right?" Bra asked sweetly.
It was then when Pan and Avery returned to see Jeff's face paling. "Um... Jeff, right?" Pan asked looking up at him as she took her seat again. "What was it that you needed?"
Jeff's eyes widened as he glanced over at Bra for a second. "Nothing, it wasn't important," he spoke before turning around.
"What did you tell him?" Avery asked Bra.
"Basically that of he didn't leave Pan alone my brother would kill him."
Pan started laughing and Avery looked at Pan and Bra her eyes wide. "You two are so mean..." she said before smiling brightly. "I think we'll get along great!" It was then that all three girls started laughing.
