We're Just Roommates
Part 3
By Presea


"Wow, Trunks! This place is great!" Bra cried as they all looked at the size of the two-story beach house.

"I didn't think we'd be living in something this fancy," Pan said, awestruck.

"Yeah, I thought it would be a lot smaller but this place... it's gonna be a pain keeping this place clean!" Goten complained. "Still... we could have some awesome parties here!"

"Wait until you see the inside. I've already had it furnished," Trunks told them. "Come on, I'll show you."

The living room had a huge sofa and loveseat, and a complete entertainment system. The large kitchen was done in pine, and the dining room was designed to match it. Trunks also had an extra large refrigerator put in. With four Saiyans living in the house it was definitely a necessity.

"Look! There's a jacuzzi!" Pan said as she stepped out into the back porch. "I know for sure I'm going to like this a lot better than living at home!"

"Hey... I say this weekend, we have a party to celebrate our freedom!" Goten suggested. "This place is so huge, we could invite a ton of people!"

"That's fine with us, just keep in mind that YOU have to clean up the mess, Uncle Goten," Pan reminded him.

"Hey, I know my job. Finally, a party without my mother's restrictions!"

~*~

Goten wasn't kidding. Loud music, kegs of booze and dozens of people filled the house that Saturday night. Goten had turned the beach house into an all-out nightclub, with people dancing all over the house.

"Isn't this great, Trunks? Tell me, would your mother EVER have let you have a party like this back at home?" Goten asked his friend.

"Not in a million years, bro!" Trunks laughed, looking at the scenario around him. So... this is what it's like to be free, Trunks thought.

A couple of hours went by, and though Bra and Pan were trying to have a good time, it wasn't working out that way. Goten was hitting on a group of girls and Bra watched in spite as he flirted with them. Just about every girl there was trying to flirt with Trunks, and at the moment he was dancing with two different girls. Pan glared at them from across the room, jealousy gnawing at her insides.

"This sucks," Bra said.

"I know. I hope Uncle Goten doesn't have a party like this every weekend, if he does I know I won't be showing up to any more of these!" Pan spat.

"Maybe we should just face the inevitable, Pan-chan. Goten will never see me as anything but a little girl. Trunks is always going to see you as a little sister. Why would either of them want us when they have older, prettier girls all around them?" Bra sighed. "I need some fresh air. I think I'm gonna go outside."

"Okay. I'll just stay here."

No sooner did Bra leave, when a tall guy with black hair and gleaming bronze eyes was standing in front of her. "Hi. My name's Jay. Wanna dance?" he asked.

Hell,why not? she thought. Even at the few high school dances she went to, no one this good-looking had ever asked her for a dance. "Sure. I'm Pan."

~*~

Bra went outside and sat in her car. Perhaps this living arrangement wasn't a very good idea after all. Watching Goten with all those women was torture. And she remembered Pan saying that one of the reasons he wanted to move out was so he could have girls over as often as he wanted as late as he wanted. What was I thinking when I agreed to this? she thought mutely. Baka. You should have known something like this was going to happen.

All too soon, Bra was beginning to get tired thinking about it all. She yawned, suddenly desiring very much to just climb into her soft bed and go to sleep, and to forget about the night. Although it normally would have been impossible for her to sleep with this much noise going on, she was so tired she didn't even think a nuclear explosion could wake her up once she was asleep.

Making her way back into the house and up the stairs, she noticed Pan dancing with someone. Well, at least one of them was able to make the best of that night. Yawning again, she finished climbing the stairs and walked down the hallway to her room. She opened her bedroom door, and clicked on the light... and almost fainted dead away from shock.

There was Goten, with his shirt off, making out with one of the blondes he had been flirting with earlier... in HER bed! Bra felt the anger rising in her body, seeing nothing but red.

"Eh... hi, Bra-chan..."

"GOTEN! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY BED!?!?!" Bra yelled so loud that even everyone downstairs heard it over the music.

"Did I... end up in your room, Bra-chan?" Goten asked, looking around the room in confusion.

The baka's so drunk that he couldn't even find his own bedroom! Bra thought hatefully.

"HER bed?! I thought this was YOUR house!" the blond said.

"It is! She's just my roommate," Goten said.

"Your roommate who happens to be very PISSED at the moment! Get your drunk ass out of my room, Son Goten, and take your one night stand with you!"

"Bra-chan..."

"I'm not a one night stand! Goten is my boyfriend, and he loves me, don't you, Go-chan?" the blonde said, who was probably even more drunk than Goten was.

Go-chan?!? Bra thought.

"What's going on in here?" Pan asked as she, Trunks and several other partygoers walked into the bedroom. Then they looked at Goten and the blond sitting on Bra's bed. "Uncle Goten?"

"What the hell?!" Trunks cried. "What are you doing half-naked in my sister's room, Goten?!"

"Gomen, gomen ne! We didn't mean to, we just went into the wrong room!" Goten told him.

Trunks looked at his friend, who seemed like he was totally plastered. Then he looked at his sister, who was obviously very pissed off. "That's it. Fun's over." He left the room and stood at the top of the stairs. "Okay, folks, party's over! That's it! Everyone find your designated drivers and get out of here!" he told everyone.

"Aw man, c'mon, the night is young!" one person yelled.

"Yeah, let us have our fun!" another said.

"This is MY property, people, and I say the party's over, so GO HOME!"

~*~

"Get out of my room NOW, Goten!" Bra yelled once more.

"L-Look, I'm sorry, Bra-chan, okay?" Goten said as he picked his shirt up from the floor and walked out with the little blonde in tow, only for Trunks to demand that she leave as well. Bra felt tears stinging her eyes but fought them with everything in her.

"Bra-chan..." Pan started to say.

"Please, Pan-chan. I don't want to talk about it right now. I just want to go to sleep now, okay?"

"All right. I'm sorry about this, Bra-chan. Good night."

When Bra was alone, she finally let the tears go. Now she couldn't even sleep in her own bedroom without thinking that Goten almost had sex with somebody in HER bed! She changed into a nightgown and crawled into bed, tears still pouring out, the image of him kissing that other girl lingering in her mind.

I'm such a baka. He's never going to love me the way I want him to. First, I was just his little sister, and now... I'm just his roommate.
