Truth and Consequences Part II
By: Faye_Valentine00
Bra entered the dead silent room slowly. Her face was a mixture of shock, anger, and confusion as she looked first to her parents and then her brother and Pan. "What is going on?" She looked to her brother, then to Pan. Her eyes going back and forth between the two, searching for an answer.
Pan stood there speechless, her eyes welling with tears. Bra was her best friend and she did not want her to find out like this. She wanted to explain everything to her right there but she knew that Vegeta was not going to allow that right now. His ki had lowered since Bra entered the room but it was still dangerously high. That was when Trunks reached out and placed his hands on Bras shoulders, staring her right in the eyes. "I am sorry that you have to find out like this but it is time everyone knows. I love Pan and we want to be together. Please accept that and forgive us for not telling you sooner."
Before Trunks even finished speaking, Bra had begun to cry. The second he said the word love, Bra melted. She had honestly given all hope up of Trunks finding a wife. Pan has always liked him but now they were together for real and happy and that was when it hit Bra and she turned to her father. "So what is the problem? They are happy and in love." She wiped the tears from her eyes as she looked to father fearlessly knowing that she and her mother were probably the only two safe people in the room when it came to Vegetas rage.
Vegetas low growl was really begining to unsettle Pan and without even realizing it, Trunks came and stood beside her protectively as if he could read her thoughts. "BRA! Stay out of this! You do not understand. None of you do and you are going to ruin everything. If you bond, it means for life and none of you are ready for that!"
"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?!" Bra shot back at her father angerly. "They are in love! NO ONE CAN TELL THEM WHATS RIGHT AND----" She was cut off when he father, who had remained quiet and slightly stunned at his daughters words, snapped. He had been surpressing his emotions so much that all the pent up frustrations caused him to go super saiyan. That was when Bra realized that she had gone to far.
"Vegeta, Please stop." Her voice was quiet but forceful enough to get everyones attention. Pan quickly stepped out of Trunks reach so he could not hold her back and she walked right up to Vegeta. "If you are going to be this mad, I would like an explanation."
"So would I!" His wife stepped next to Pan, speaking up again. "What is SOOOOOO horrible that you have to go and make everyone miserable?!"
"FINE!" Vegeta powered down and stared angerly at them all. "If the two of you bond, it means forever. If one of you leaves, it means death. If you hurt the other, it will be just like hurting yourself. Last night you almost bonded. I do not want my son to be bonded to the granddaughter of a third-class loser like Kakorrot!"
Bulma sighed outloud when Vegeta said the word bonded. She had not really thought about it in a long time but he was right. When they had first gotten into a relationship, Vegeta had tried to run away but their own bond brought them back together when they nearly died from being apart. The one thing that angered her was the fact that apparently Vegetas whole reasoning for this mess was the fact that he did not like Goku, at least not as his equal. She was about to respond when Pan beat her to it.
Tears streamed down her face as she looked at Vegeta with a more hateful look than Trunks had ever seen and he could tell that her ki was also extremly high and that was the only thing that kept him from attacking his father. "I am so sorry that I can not live up the expectations that you have for your son." The more she spoke, her eyes began to change from anger to sadness. "I love him and I want to be with him. I will never pretend to understand why you have always just thought of me as "the spawn of Kakorrots brat" but I don't care. Sniff You are not going to stop us." Tears had stopped flowing as she made that last statement that was meant to be a challange but instead Vegeta did not attack her, in fact he looked fairly calm about it.
Vegetas ki was begining to stablize as he looked back and forth to Trunks and Pan who had both defended themselves and their relationship strongly despite his obvious anger. Maybe they would make it. He would never admit it to any of them but he was honestly impressed by their guts. He'd just have to leave it up to Gohan to see if they would really be able to make it. Gohan was probably going to be a bigger challange to Trunks then he had been and that would tell them the truth. "At least she has more guts then Kakorrot!" With that he turned around and walked out of the room, heading for the kitchen. It was his way of giving in without actually having to say okay.
Bulma, Bra and Trunks all began to laugh when Vegeta left the room and that made Pan mad. She looked at them all angerly, still wiping her eyes dry. "What is so funny?"
Trunks walked over to Pan, wrapping his arms around her protectivly, still laughing. "I am sorry. I forget that you don't know my dad as well as us. Lets just say that that was my fathers way of approving. YOU actually convinced him. I am very proud of you." He leaned down and kissed her lips so gently. Pan felt a chill run all the way up her spine as she returned the kiss. When she opened her eyes and the kiss was broken, they both realized that Bra and Bulma had left the room and closed the door behind themselves, leaving the two alone. "I meant what I said, you know."
"Whats that?" Pans eyes shone loving upon her beautiful purple haired saiyan.
"I love you."
"And I love you... but you know what? We should go tell my parents before your father does."
They both laughed then as they were about to go get breakfast then get ready, they looked at each other in shock. Neither had really been worried about their wardrobes at the time but now they realized what they were wearing. Trunks was just in his boxers and Pan in one of his long dress shirts. That was it. "Oh Dende!"
"What?" Trunks was chuckling though because he knew what she was thinking
"Your father, VEGETA- prince of the saiyans- of all people, saw me dressed like this!" She had to laugh too though. "Dende I hope he doesn't tell my father." After they got dressed, they headed down to breakfast and since Bulma gave Trunks the day off of work, they made their way over to Gohans house.
NEXT TIME
Gohans reaction (and Videl and Gotens) Is Trunks gonna live?
OKAY OKAY... I know that I said that Gohan would be in this part but I lied and changed the story slightly so sorry and I promise to get part 3 out faster!
