*5 years. 5 years!! For 5 years I've worked at
this place and they're going to fire me now!* Bra thought as she walked to her bosses office. After a few
months of living in New York Bra had found a nice, little job as a secretary at a local TV network, but a
few minutes ago she heard that her boss wanted to see her. She feared that she was going to job. Bra
wore a standard business suit with high-heels, and her hair down. As she passed by the long-endless rolls
of desks she glazed at her fellow workers. She didn't know most of them, on the count of she didn't really
care to much for her fob. She needed the money so her and Laura could keep the apartment and buy the
necessities. Bra took a deep breath as she stepped into the evaluator. Her boss's office was up another 6
floors. Bra pushed the button with shaky finger.
Bra couldn't afford to lose her job, she just couldn't. For one thing Laura's old roommate spent many
nights over at their place. She would come over beaten and bloody with her 5 year old son even worse
then she was. Bra hated seeing the child in such a state, it would remind her of Trunks after a sparring
session with her father. She always hated fighting, so much unnecessary pain. But of course, being a
sayain, a part of her wished she could spar with the others. That was the other reason she couldn't lose
her job, she would have to go back. She would crawl back to Japan, she could picture her parents anger
filled faces as she crawled through the doorway to her home. The evaluator stopped and there was a ding
as the doors opened. Bra stepped off and started to walk down the hallway to the network presidents
office. She felt as if she where on death row about to be executed. Bra closed her eyes and took an others
deep breath as she turned the doorknob to the office. As she entered she could smell the cheap cigars and
air freshener. She smiled as her boss turned around in his chair.
He was a short man, balking, and fairly over weight. He smiled showing Bra his yellow teeth, Bra
thought she would throw-up at the sight but managed to keep her lunch down.
"Hello Bra. Its nice to see you." Bra's boss said and entertwined his fingers.
"Mr. Richway, listen, I only took 3 pencils and maybe a few packs of sugar from the coffee room, but
that's no reason to fire me!" Bra said pleading. Her boss looked completely confused.
"I'm not going to fire you Bra." He said. Bra straitened her back and tried to look more serious, but she
was totally relived that she wasn't going to lose her job.
"So why did you want to see me then Mr. Richway?" Bra asked raising a eyebrow. Her boos smiled
again.
"Well, for a long time this network has tried to get an inter view with the president of the largest company
in the world, but as you know we have been unsuccessful. Well last night I got a call from the companies
head office and the president agreed to the interview!! Their coming in tomorrow!!" The round man said
slamming his fist on the desk. Bra put on a fake smile.
"That's great Mr. Richway, but what does it have to do with me?" Bra asked. Her boss gave her that;
'would you do me a big favor' smile. *Oh no, here it comes* Bra thought.
"Well you see Bra, these people are from Japan and well, I thought since you where from there too that
you might like to show them around.............." Mr. Richway said leaning towards Bra. * Oh great! That
would be tons of fun! NOT!!" Bra thought to herself.
"Mr. Richway I really can't-" Bra started.
"I'll give you a raise if you do it." He interrupted.
"Ok!!" Bra said happy that she would get something out of it.
"Great! You'll met them here in my office at noon tomorrow." He said stacking some papers on his desk.
Bra got up to leave but turned around again.
"I'm sorry Mr. Richway, but I never got the name of the company." Bra said holding the door knob.
"Oh it's Capsule Corp." Her boss said looking through his desk drawer. Bra felt as if she had ran head
first into a wall with the word 'past' written on it.'
"C-capsule........Corp-p?" Bra whispered shaking.
"Yes." Her boss replied.
"Oh........................." Bra said dazed and wide eyed as she walked out of the door. Once she was out of
the office she walked over to the opposite wall and banged her head against it several times. When her
head began to ache she stopped and just lend against the beaten wall. * Moms coming here!!! And stupid
me volunteered to show her around!!!!! She'll be so mad and disappointed in me, and she'll probably dray
me back to Japan!!!* Bra mentally kicked herself. Bra couldn't think straight on the disaster so she
decided to go back to her apartment to think it over. A few minutes later Bra stumbled out of the building
not really paying any attention to the rushing people around her. She only lived a few minutes away from
her work so Bra walked to her job every day. Laura did the same, she worked at a record store about 40
minutes south of their apartment.
Bra had lost track of the time when she reached her apartment. When she got up stairs into her and
Laura's room there was a note from Laura on the table saying she was going to be home at 9:00p.m. Bra
sighed as she went into her bedroom to rest and think.
Bra was woken up by the sound of t he front door closing. She staggered out of bed still in her suit.
When she opened her bedroom door she saw Laura sitting on the kitchen chair eating some leftover pasta.
"Hey Laura." Bra said with a depressed tone as she sat down next to her friend.
"Oh hey Bra," Laura said still eating the pasta, "guess what I saw down stairs today."
"What?" Bra asked in the 'I could care less' voice.
"The building owner talking to the police, there was another robbery today! That makes 3 total this
month! We could be next!" Laura said seriously. Bra looked at her as if she had a hat on that said 'I was
voted weirdest person of the month.'
"Laura don't worry, we wouldn't get robbed, we have nothing to steal." Bra said.
"Well I guess so, but if we do get robbed I'm blaming you." Laura answered. There was a moment of
silence.
"So what's wrong with you? You seem down." Laura asked. Bra sighted.
"Well I volunteered to show this president of a large company around New Your-" Bra began.
"That's great!!" Laura said and patted Bra's shoulder.
"That's not all. The large company is Capsule Corp. and the president is my mom." Bra whispered.
Laura dropped her fork.
"What?! No way!! Bra you can't leave! If she sees you then you'll have to move back to Japan with her!"
Laura yelled.
"No. I would never let it happen. I'll just play it out. I'll be fine." Bra explained getting up to leave.
"If you say so." Laura said but it was to late, Bra was in her room.
The next day........................................................................
* Man I'm so tired!!!* Bra thought as she walked off the evaluator. She did not get a lot of sleep the
night before because she stayed up trying to figure out what to tell her mother. Bra stopped in front of the
door.
Bra closed her eyes and let her arms relax at her sides. Her heart was beating so fast that she couldn't
hear any of the conversations around her. Bra took one last deep breath before opening the 'Door of death'
and walking into 'hell'.
"Oh, miss Briefs! Good to see you." Bra's boss greeted her. Bra fixed her eyes on him because she knew
her mother was sitting next to her and when he said 'miss Briefs' she heard her turn in the chair.
"I'd like you to meet the president of Capsule Corp. and you already have something in common! You
both have the same last name!" Bra's boss said giving his fake business laugh. Bra still didn't look down,
but she felt her mother's eyes upon her.
"His last name is Briefs also! Mr. Briefs, this is my secretary Miss Briefs!!" He chuckled. Bra's eyes
widened. *did he say Mr.?!?!?!* As a gut reaction Bra turned and looked down. Her eyes met another
pair of blue eyes.
"Trunks?!?!?!?!?!" Bra yelled as she stumbled back.
"Bra!!!!!!!!!!!!" Trunks said in total shock. Bra quickly turned to her boss.
"Thank you for introducing us, I'm sure we'll have a great time. Bye!," Bra said pulling on Trunks arm,
"Come on Mr. Briefs, New York awaits." Bra announced flashing a fake smile. She literally pushed him
out of the office then closed the door behind them.
"Bra is it really you?!?!" Trunks asked leaning in to be face to face with his sister.
"Of course its me!!!!!" Bra yelled back she noticed everyone starring at them so she dragged him over to
the evaluator. And pushed the button for the bottom floor. They where the only ones in the elevator.
"What are you doing here Trunks?" Bra asked half relived the wasn't her mother in his place.
"Well I came here for a interview. What are you doing here?!" Trunks replied.
"I live here." Bra answered in a very serious tone.
"Since when?" Trunks questioned, also becoming serious.
"Since the day I woke up and realized that no one cared for me in Japan." Bra said not changing her
mood. Trunks was s little taken back for a moment then his face changed to a sorry expression.
"I'm sorry you feel that way Bra." Trunks said in a sad whisper. He starred at the floor. Bra's expression
lifted.
"Hey don't I at least get a hug from my brother?" Bra smiled and held her arms out. Trunks smiled and
hugged her.
"I've missed you sis." Trunks said as the door opened. They stopped hugging as the door opened.
"I've missed you too. We an talk more at my place." Bra said walking towards the exit.
~~~~~~~~~~~A few minutes later at the appartment~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wow Bra, this place is..........................well it's.............very...........n.........i..........c.........e." Trunks said
sarcastically as they walked in.
"I've grown to like it. Come on we can sit on the couch." Bra said leading the way.
"So how is everyone?" Bra asked in a fake happy mood. She was more worried that he'd ask her why she
left.
"Their fine. Mom retired, that's why I'm the president. Dad still trains a lot." Trunks answered feeling
uncomfortable.
"And what about you? Do you still train daily with Goten?" Bra questioned. Trunks starred at her.
"A lot has happened since you left Bra. Mom and Dad spent the first 2 years searching for you, but they
stopped after I told them you probaly didn't want to be found." Trunks began. Bra's heart grew heavier
even though she thought she could care less.
"But the Son's didn't stop. Goten went looking for you the first three years then when Goku came back he
went looking with Goten." Trunks said as he picked up a book from the table. Bra jumped up out of her
seat.
"Goku came Back?!?!?!?!" Bra screamed. Trunks smiled at her.
"Yea two years ago. You know if you come back with me you could see him" Trunks said still smiling.
"What?! NO way! Never! I will never go back there!!!" Bra yelled then turned her back to Trunks.
"Listen Bra, it would only be for a few weeks. You could stay in a hotel. Besides, do you really want to
live the rest of your life not being able to see Goku one last time? Wasn't he like an uncle to you?"
Trunks pleaded. Bra thought about his words. He was right, she did want to see Goku again but was it
really worth the risk?
"Ok I'll go, but I will not stay there got it?!?!" Bra agreed turning to face Trunks again. He smiled at his
easy victory.
"Great!! Everyone will love to see you again!!" He said still excited over Bra returning.
"Whatever," She began, "do you have a place to stay?"
"Yes, but its kind of far from here." He answered.
"Ok then , you can stay here, but you'll have to sleep on the couch. It's already dark anyway." Bra
explained as she started to walk to her room.
"Thanks. We'll leave tomorrow." He smiled. Bra froze in her tracks.
"Tomorrow?!?! What?! Why?!?" She screamed.
"We'll leave tomorrow, or I'll tell your boss I don't want to do a interview and you'll be fired." He said
chuckling. She grew more and more angry at him.
"Fine!!!!" She yelled before slamming her door close.
.............................................One Hour Later.........................................................
Laura slowly slid her key into the door and opened it. As she walked into the kitchen Trunks walked in
too, from the living room. Laura couldn't see his face because it was so dark. She panicked thinking he
was a robber and picked up the nearest object.
"Don't move!!!!! I have a gun and I know how to use it!!!!!!!" Laura warned pointing the object at
Trunks. He looked very confused.
"Oh, ah, miss? That's a banana." Trunks said pointing at the object in her hand. Laura looked at it for a
minute then got back in her position.
"Don't get smart with me!!!" Laura yelled just then Bra walked out of her room.
"What's going on here?" Bra asked turning on the lights.
"Bra! Just in time! You can call the police while I hold him down!" Laura explained. Trunks turned his
head to face his sister. He lifted his shoulders. Bra smiled turning to Laura.
"Laura this is my brother Trunks he's not a robber." Bra explained trying not to laugh. Laura dropped the
banana.
"Oh." She said turning back towards Trunks.
"Trunks, this is my roommate Laura." Bra introduced Trunks gave Laura a smile that almost made her
melt.
"It turns out he's the president of the company now. Oh, and I'm kind of going with him to Japan
tomorrow." Bra said the last part faster and softer .
"If all guys look like this in Japan why did you even leave in the first place." Laura said still starring at
Trunks. He blushed.
"Well you can come too. That is , if you want to." Trunks offered looking at her shyly.
"Ok." Laura agreed. Bra just starred at the two of them.
In the next chapter: Bra, Laura, and Trunks go to Japan. Bra meets her parents and the Sons, including
Goten!!;] See what there reactions are to seeing Bra for the first time in 5 years!!
