Wish: Chapter 2 -- Journal
All four Saiyajin walked down the
hall of Capsule Corp Beach House chattering and laughing.
"What are we going to do today
besides swim?" Pan asked. Ideas were thrown about. Train, go to
the mall, play some beach volleyball. No one could decide, so they left it
at that and would wait till they were done swimming to figure it out.
Turning on heel, Goten started to
jog back to his room. The other three wondered what was going on.
"Goten? Where are you
going?" Trunks asked. Goten turned and started running backwards.
"I forgot my journal!
I'll be right there!" He replied and turned around again. The three
shrugged and went off towards the beach.
In Goten's room, he pulled his
journal out from his hiding space behind the bookshelf and flipped through it
before jogging out to the beach with it under his arm.
On the beach, Pan and Bra had
already set up towels to tan on. Bra was laying on her stomach while Pan
was applying tanning oil to herself. Trunks sat at the water's edge,
testing it with his toe to see if it was too cold. Goten chuckled.
That Trunks, he
thought, He always was a wuss! And then, Goten got an idea.
He slowly rose into the air, just a
few feet off the ground. He flew silently toward the testing Trunks.
As he was flying, he noticed Trunks back away from the water a little bit.
Goten sped up.
Before Trunks knew what hit him,
Goten had picked him up and chucked him into the water. Pan and Bra, who
had seen it coming the whole time and started cracking up. Trunks emerged
from the water and took a gasp of air.
"Goten!" Trunks roared at
the laughing Goten, "You're going to get it!" The horseplay
began.
Over the beach Goten ran. He
dove through the water and skyrocketed through the air, escaping from Trunks'
reach only by threads. He bounded over the tanning girls with Trunks in
hot pursuit and even made it to the neighbor's house, which was more than a mile
away, before Trunks decided to "give up."
"Goten," Trunks said,
huffing and puffing, "I give up man. Truce?" He extended
his arm to shake.
Goten, a little suspiciously, walked
over and grabbed his hand. He had good reason to be suspicious, for Trunks
grasped his hand tightly. Goten went flying through the air and landed in
the water, belly flopping.
He emerged, Son grin and all.
"Got the best of me, it
seems," Goten said, "Now let's get the girls..." Trunks
smirked and they headed to the tanning women.
----------
Trunks and Goten snuck up on the
girls, who were laid out and had no clue what was coming. Trunks went
after Pan and Goten after Bra.
Screaming the whole way to the
water, the girls fought to get free. No success.
They splashed into the churning
ocean and emerged with death glares on their faces. They stumbled out of
the water, dripping wet, and began the hunt.
Bra and Pan caught up to their
pranksters and sent them flying face first into the sand. Trunks looked up
and was greeted by another face full of sand by a foot to the back of the
head. Namely Pan's.
Goten was currently being dragged
out into the ocean by his swim trunks.
"I'LL TEACH YOU TO THROW ME
INTO THE POOL!" Bra roared. She tossed him into the sea and Goten
splashed in, sending a nice wave to shore. He emerged to find Bra grabbing
him once again and tossing him onto the beach.
Trunks had escaped for a moment and
began to run away from Pan along the beach. Pan was hot on his heels, but
now laughing.
This is pretty fun
she thought. Trunks still had a look of horror on his face.
He looked back to see just how far
Pan was. Big mistake.
Unknown to Trunks, a piece of
driftwood had placed itself in his path. His foot caught on it and he was
sent sailing. He landed in the sand, facing the sky.
Pan obviously didn't see the
driftwood, either, as she landed on top of Trunks after tripping. They lay
there for a moment, catching their breath before Pan pushed herself up a little.
Trunks' face was just a few inches
from hers. They stared at each other for what seemed like an
eternity. Both were lost in each other; the windows into their
hearts. Blushing, their heads moved closer together.
Am I really going to kiss him?
Pan thought excitedly as she closed her eyes and awaited the impact of his soft
lips against hers.
Trunks inched closer and closed his
eyes. Closer.
Closer. And then...
----------
Goten flew through the air and
landed a few feet away from Pan and Trunks, sending a spray of sand into the
two. They sat up and saw Bra jumping up and down on a tired Goten.
They glanced at each other and blushed again.
Goten decided to have a little fun,
also, instead of letting Bra beat him up. While she was jumping, he
swiftly rolled and faded out.
"Where did he go?" she
said to herself. A whizzing sound of air rushing past was heard, and
before she knew it, Bra was in a full nelson.
"Now now, B-chan!" Goten
pleaded, "It was just a joke!" She struggled, but soon her anger
turned into playfullness. She started laughing as Goten started his
assault: tickling.
Bra kicked and screamed and laughed,
trying to get Goten to stop. Pan and Trunks just watched on.
Trunks smirked and turned to
Pan. "I've got twenty bucks that Goten confesses his love for Bra
first!"
Pan laughed. "It's a
deal!"
"When do you think they'll
realize?" Trunks asked.
"Who knows?" Pan
replied. When will you realized I love you? Pan thought to
herself. She sighed.
Trunks stared at Pan as she watched
the other two "play." She sighed.
Don't sigh, Pan. You have
someone who loves you. He's sitting right here.
Trunks thought.
----------
The four teens swam for the majority
of the day before heading inside. They gathered up their things and went
inside the beach house to shower. Bra and Goten were the last to go
inside.
"B-chan, do you want the shower
first?" Goten asked, holding his things while he waited for Bra to finish.
"Nah that's okay, Goten,"
She replied, "You can have it first." Goten nodded.
"You want me to carry that
stuff in for you?" He asked, pointing at the stuff she was currently
picking up off the beach. She shook her head.
"That's all right," she
smiled, "That's very sweet of you, but I'm just gonna think for a
bit. You can head in if you want."
He nodded.
"Okay B-chan," He said,
"I won't use up all the hot water for ya, then." She laughed and
he grinned. He turned around after giving a sidelong glance. Bra was
sure to see him blushing a bit.
She smiled as she watched him walk
through the wild flower path.
He's so cute. But why can't
I tell him how I feel? Am I afraid? Afraid of what? Certainly
not afraid of him... she thought.
She blushed at her feelings for
Goten.
No, I'm not afraid of him.
She smiled and continued picking up
her things. She picked up her beach towel and was surprised to find a book
under it. She read the title.
"Memoirs... S.G."
she read aloud. Her eyes grew big.
Should I?
She picked up Goten's Journal.
"No," She said aloud,
"I'm a good girl. I don't look into other people's private
things."
She picked up the book and set it
with the other things and walked up the path. Halfway up, her things came
loose and the book and her sun tan lotion fell out. The sun tan lotion
landed on its side, but the journal landed on an open page.
Bra looked at it, then looked
away.
What am I doing? I
shouldn't read Goten's stuff.
She diverted her gaze as she picked
the journal up again. She started to close it, but something caught her
eye. Something on the page that was open. She knelt on one knee, and
her gaze soon found the page.
-I really like her. I wish
I could tell her how I felt, though...
She tugged on her necklace, which
had become a habit whenever she was deep in thought.
...I'm afraid she wouldn't like
me at all. But she's so great, so beautiful....
Her eyes got big.
...I'm in love with the most
wonderful girl I've ever know. Bra...
"What are you doing, B-chan?"
She gasped and shut the book,
looking up at Goten.
He looked wide eyed. Almost
like he was going to cry. He slowly walked over to her and took the book
from her hand.
"Goten, I didn't mea-" Bra
started, but Goten put his hand up, signaling her to stop.
He gave her one last look before
blasting into the sky. She watched his retreating figure fly away and
began to cry. She ran into the house.
