Hey everyone. Were you beginning to think that I had disappeared? Sorry it took so long for this chapter. I'm sort of only supposed to use the computer on weekends so I've been busy lately. Stupid report cards came out so I have a couple of friends who won't be able to get on and luckily I got away with being able to use it on weekends. Well thank you for all those wonderful reviews. I was so surprised to get them all. Keep it up, I love knowing how I'm doing.





We left off with certain people mad at others. It had been three weeks since they arrived on the island and they had only one more week to stay. It seemed that when they finally got together they were torn apart again. Pan is angry at Trunks for going through her things, and Trunks is also angry with Pan for not listening to him. Trunks still hadn't apologized out of either pride, or because when ever he tried he was faced with two other angry girls that insisted on protecting their friend from any more anguish.

Goten was faced with a couple different problems. He did regret how he had reacted to the stories but he wasn't quite sure what to believe. Part of his mind screamed that she really was in love with this Ralph guy and just wouldn't admit it. He didn't however confront her with that. Bra believes that Goten still finds her a child, and because of that had only been playing around with the whole 'relationship' bit.

Uubu was under tremendous guilt. He knew he shouldn't have called Marron a liar but he was having trouble dealing with a few things. No matter how many times he thought about it he still thought that she had either written those stories recently, or on the island, or that she still had the same feelings for Trunks and was trying to use him to get Trunks jealous. Her last words struck him hard in the chest and still rang in his ears the day after. "Or are you just blind with jealousy" she had screamed and then ran to the house. Marron was pretty depressed as well as everyone else. She trusted Uub and was extremely happy with him, but she didn't know if she could ever for give him for thinking that she was lying and was using him to get Trunks.

The next seven days were spent about as detached as possible. The first day the three girls went to Bra and Marrons room. Goten took the opportunity to take a few items from his room that he might need. The girls talked about how they felt to each other, all oblivious to the fact that the three boys had left to go to the beach for the same purpose.

Girls' conversation:

Inside the room they all sat down pretending to be busy reading, or drawing or something else. Slowly a conversation started and eventually they were practically all venting and crying with anger.

"I still can't get over the fact that he went through my things!" screamed Pan who through the magazine on the floor.

"I know what you mean. I don't think I could forgive someone for doing that! And he took things from your room too, that's even worse" said Marron who truly sympathized with Pan.

"And Goten was with him too! Did they both decide to raid your room first and then raid this one?" said Bra who was equally as angry.

They three girls took turns telling about their various fights with the boys. The consoled each other and made sure that they didn't bottle anything inside.

"So what exactly are we going to do now?" asked Bra.

"Well," Pan began to think about their current situation. "Living with three guys who we all hate is obviously not going to go so smoothly. But we have a week left on the island and I believe they would refuse to leave the island about as strongly as we would."

They all nodded their heads in agreement. "So is the only choice to ignore them?" asked Marron.

The girls nodded and listened in the house. They realized that the others were gone and left the room for breakfast.

Boys Conversation:

"So let's get all this strait" started Uub who was getting kind of confused.

"Pan thinks that Trunks purposely went through her things," said Goten.

"But I wasn't! She was cold and I was just trying to help her by..."

"We know Trunks, you don't need to defend yourself" said Uub who then looked at Goten.

"Ok, then Bra thinks that Goten was using her or something right?" Asked Trunks.

Goten nodded and tried to explain. "Well she had a crush on me since Junior High and it is obvious she was just trying to live out some child hood fantasy right? I don't want to be in a..." 'Relationship that is purely one sided' he finished in his head after Uub nodded his head in understanding.

"And Marron lied to Uub about who she liked and was also using him." said Goten.

They all looked at each other and tried to persuade the others to think differently. They were unable to change Gotens point of view on the situation. When it came to Uub, well he was still hurt about everything and obviously wouldn't think differently. Trunks couldn't really think differently. He regretted the past actions but didn't know how to deal with it. He figured that if he apologized everything should be fine. He decided to let Pan cool off for a couple of days.

So the days on the island went by very slowly. The boys would wake up before the girls and usually leave the house after eating. Then the girls would eat and find something to do. They usually left the house and went to the beach before the boys returned for lunch. Then the girls would eat lunch on the beach. The boys usually returned first for dinner then went to sleep. Afterwards the girls would return home and eat dinner. They usually watched TV and tried to stay up late so they could know that they would wake up after the boys in the morning.

They went about three days with out seeing each other but eventually things seemed to change. Trunks purposely returned to the house early for lunch and found the girls leaving for the beach. He tried to talk to Pan but Marron led her away and Bra scolded her brother.

Goten eventually went back to sleeping in the same room as Pan. Apparently sleeping on the floor with Trunks and Uubs dirty clothes and dirty underwear wasn't very satisfying for him. He talked civilly with Pan, after all they were still related, and they both made a silent yet mutual agreement not to talk about the fights.

The agreement didn't last long after Pan held a crying Bra earlier that day. She decided to slowly try and bring it up and successfully entered the conversation with her Uncle.

"Uncle? Do you really think that Bra is a little kid?" asked Pan who set her magazine on the night table by her bed and rose her eyes. On the other side of the room Goten visibly froze and sucked in a breath.

"Pan? Can we promise that anything we say to each other doesn't leave this room? I mean really, I have to know that I have someone to trust right now."

Pan nodded and smiled lightly. It was usually a good sign that he didn't want her to say anything because it was probably to keep her from telling Bra a certain big of good news.

"Well Pan, you see I don't see her as a little kid. In fact I see her so grown up." Goten sighed as he remembered their first kiss.

"Well then why did you call her a little kid?"

Goten saddened as he was brought out of his memories and back to reality. "I think I was jut angry or something. I don't really know anymore. It made sense at the time but now it just seems so stupid. I miss her Pan."

Pan smiled softly and quietly whispered. "She misses you too Goten." Unaware of weather or not he heard.

The next day Pan didn't mention her conversation with her friends. They had agreed not to talk to the guys and it would only upset Bra to know that he was regretting certain things that were said. Bra wouldn't have believed Pan and would have thought that Goten was just trying to play around with her feelings again.

The days went by smoothly again and they successfully stayed away from each other. Trunks was beginning to really regret certain things said but eventually gave up on trying to apologize. Pan was still upset at Trunks but cooled off. She did however wonder why he wasn't apologizing. Goten wanted so much to love and be loved by Bra. But Bra still couldn't get over the thought that he was using her. Uub eventually apologized to Marron about calling her a liar. She said nothing and they didn't really talk.

It was soon the day that they would leave the island. It was December 20, and although the island was warm and in the season of summer on the other side of the world, they would return to Japan where it would be cold and near Christmas.

They eventually packed up everything, and although they were forced to be in the same room with each other and eventually the same plane, they still managed to stay separated. Bra and Marron decided they both just needed time to think, while Pan was just starting to question why she had acted that way. She reasoned with herself that although she had the right to be mad and furious she probably should have talked to Trunks. Now things around him just seemed awkward and silent.

The long plane ride eventually ended and the girls got off first, each saying goodbye and heading of in the direction of their homes. The boys did the same thing. No one seemed to remember that in four days the largest party of the year would occur at Capsule Corps. It was Christmas in the air, and certain elves seemed to be plotting for love.


Authors notes: Hey everyone. First off I'd like to thank everyone for reviewing lately. I love the reviews and they are what fuel me to write these stories. I would also like to wish people good luck. I know tons of people who received report cards and I want to say good luck with your parents.

Thank you Jen for breaking through my writers' block again. You have truly inspired me to spend more time writing instead of sitting and watching TV. All day, although I'm very good at that it doesn't take as much as writing does. I'll try and hurry with the next chapter if I get good reviews!!! And E-mail me if you have any ideas. My e-mail address is Boredwriter@hotmail.com.
