We're Just Roommates
Part 4
By Presea


I know this is taking forever... GOMEN! But I haven't had much inspiration to write lately. PLEASE forgive me! Also, thanks for all of you who sent me positive e-mails encouraging me to get the next part out. However for you rude people (you know who you are) who mailed me, yelling at me won't make me write any faster. Believe it or not, I DO have a life away from the Internet. So piss off! :P

I don't own DBZ or DBGT. If I did, do you think I would be sitting here typing out this stupid disclaimer?!

~*~

Slowly but surely, all of the disappointed partygoers began to leave. One of the last to go was one of the girls Trunks had been dancing with earlier. She wasn't very tall, but had dark blonde hair and a nice body. Pan watched and listened as she overheard the girl talking to Trunks before she left.

"You're a really good dancer. I'm sorry everything ended up a disaster tonight," the girl said.

"Yeah, you and me both," Trunks sighed.

"You know... my friends and I always go to this club every Saturday night. Ever hear of The Cage?"

"That club over on 6th Street?"

"Hai, that's the one. You should come with us sometime, since you're such a great dancer," she said, giving him a flirtatious look that made Pan want to kick her ass right then and there.

"Thanks. You dance pretty well yourself," he commented back. "By the way... I'm Trunks," he added, shaking her hand.

"My name's Kia. So, Trunks... can I give you my phone number?"

He smiled. "Sure."

Pan couldn't listen to anymore. She went upstairs to her room, quietly shutting the door although she felt like slamming it. What a terribly gruesome night this had turned out to be. She couldn't imagine how Bra felt when she saw the man she loved making out with another girl... on HER bed, no less.

Uncle Goten, you're such a blockhead, Pan thought. And you too, Trunks. Damn the both of you.

Pan sighed. Trunks was never going to return her feelings. Not when he had women like that Kia chick hanging all over him. If those two started dating... Pan didn't think she would be able to handle watching it.

~*~

Goten woke up the next morning feeling like his head was in a vise. He opened his eyes fully and felt pain pounding in his head.

"Uggghhhh," he groaned, rubbing at his temples. Hangover from hell, he thoght. Slowly, he tried to remember the events of the previous evening.

I remember... talking with that girl... what's-her-name. Oi, I don't even remember. She was a good kisser though. Oh Dende, was she a good kisser...

His semi-happy thoughts faded when he recalled the next incident.

Oh... yeah. We ended up in Bra's room instead of mine.

Goten sighed in frustration. He could only assume that Bra was not very happy with him at the moment. But she was usually so easygoing, this was an incident that she would probably look back on in the future and laugh about.

"I'll just apologize to her. That WAS pretty stupid of me."

He looked at his clock. It was noon. He knew he should get up, but his head hurt so much he didn't even want to move.

"GOTEN! YOU BAKAYAROU!"

The sound of Bra's enraged voice filled his ears, making him grab at his temples again.

"Goten!" she shouted as she walked into his room. "Do you know what time it is?! GET UP ALREADY! The house is a disaster! It's your job to keep it clean, so get to it!"

"Uggghhh. Bra-chan, listen. I... I'm sorry about last night..."

"I don't want to hear it. Now if you'll excuse me, I have an aerobics class to get ready for." She turned and walked out, and the next thing he heard was the slam of her bedroom door.

"Aw, come on, Bra-chan, I'm apologizing here!" Goten struggled as he got out of bed, and fell to the floor when he felt a slight dizziness. He got up wearily and began walking towards her room. "Bra-chan, let's not fight! We're roommates, we can't live like this!"

"Leave me alone!"

"Bra-chan... just hear me out!" He came to her bedroom door and opened it. "Bra-chan..."

He froze dead in his tracks. Bra looked at him with wide, surprised eyes, as he just stared at her in shock, disbelief, and... fascination.

She was naked from the waist up.

Goten felt another feeling of dizziness come over him as he gaped at her breasts, knowing he should look away, but... he couldn't, as his mind only held one thought. Beautiful...

"YOU HENTAI!" Bra finally screamed, covering her bare chest. He finally snapped out of it, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

"Oh, gods... Bra-chan... I'm sorry!"

"GET OUT!!!" she cried.

"Gomen... gomen!" were his last words before he left and swiftly closing the door, going back to his own room and practically hiding under the covers of his bed.

Baka! Now she hates you even more! How embarassing!

~*~

"Bra-chan, I know you're upset about what happened last night, but... is something else bothering you?" Pan asked her friend.

"Well... maybe."

"Feel like sharing?"

"Not really."

"Bra, you KNOW I'm not gonna leave you alone until you tell me."

"Then I'll suffer."

"Come ON!"

"Iie! It's too embarassing!" Bra cried, looking down and pulling her arms over her head.

"Oy vey, it must've been pretty bad," Pan said. "Bra-chan, I WANT TO KNOW!!!"

"You have to promise not to say anything."

"You know I won't."

"Okay. Well, this morning, Goten was trying to apologize, and... and..."

"And what?"

"Well, I had just finished yelling at him, and I went into my room to change for aerobics class. I was so mad I totally forgot to lock the door, and... well, while he was trying to apologize, he sorta... walked in on me."

"NANI?" Pan cried. "UNCLE GOTEN SAW YOU NAKED?!"

"Shhhh! Will you keep your voice down?"

"Oh, Dende... he saw you NAKED!" Pan paused. "Were you COMPLETELY naked?"

Bra shook her head. "No. Only from the waist up. I guess I might as well have been though."

A devilish grin appeared on Pan's face. "So... did he like what he saw?"

"EH?!"

"Did he stare?"

"That... that's none of your business!"

"Aha! So he DID stare! Was he drooling?"

"Pan-chan!"

"Wow. So he saw you naked and liked it. Hey, you're doing a lot better than I am," Pan complimented.

"How do you know he liked it?!"

"He stared, didn't he?"

"Yes... but he was shocked!"

"I'll say!" Pan laughed.

"Pan... please don't say anything to Trunks. I'm embarassed enough as it is, and Trunks would murder Goten if he found out. Please, don't tell," she begged.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Pan promised.

"I can't face him, Pan-chan. I hate this. I'm living with him, and I can't face him," Bra said.

"Everything will turn out all right, Bra-chan. They'll probably work out a lot better for you than for me."

"What do you mean?" Bra asked.

"Trunks switched phone numbers with some bimbo last night," Pan sighed.

"Oh... no. I'm sorry Pan-chan."

"Hey, maybe it won't last. But... I don't want to feel like I can't face him. Which is why you should try and patch things up with Uncle Goten, Bra-chan."

"I... I don't think I can. Not right now anyway. I need some time to myself first, I think."

"Well, don't wait too long. You ARE living under the same roof, after all. You can't avoid him forever."

Bra sighed. "I suppose not."

~*~

"Vegeta? What brings you here?" Gohan asked in surprise.

"We need to talk. In private," Vegeta said sternly.

"Oh, um... okay." Well, this was a rarity. Vegeta never came to the Son house on his own free will. Nonetheless, Gohan went outside with Vegeta.

"What's the matter, Vegeta-san?"

"I've come to talk to you about our brats."

"Why? Is something wrong?"

"Well, I suppose it could be, depending on how you look at it."

"So then, tell me, what is it?"

Vegeta sighed. "When Trunks and your brat came back from the galaxy tour with Kakarotto, they were... different."

"Different? How so?"

"I couldn't place it at first. It was only some time later, when I realized... that they had formed a bond."

"A bond?" Gohan was confused. "I don't see where you're going with this, Vegeta-san."

"They share a BOND, you baka. Their souls are connected. It started out small, and it's grown since then, but neither of them have realized it yet. And now that Pan is older... and ESPECIALLY since they've moved in together... it will only be a matter of time before they do realize it, and act upon those feelings."

"Wait a minute. Are you trying to tell me that Trunks and my daughter are, in a sense, destined to be together?" Gohan asked in disbelief.

"Yes, that is exactly what I am saying."

"But... he's too old for her!" Gohan complained.

"You idiot, don't you see that doesn't matter now? The damage has been done. So, if our brats suddenly announce their undying love for each other... don't be surprised."

~*~

After taking about ten aspirins, Goten attempted to get the house clean. Ugh. What a mess, he thought. How dumb could I have been, agreeing to be a maid?

He did his best to clean the house, but he couldn't stop thinking about Bra. All he could see was her beautiful, naked body, and Goten had realized in that instant that she was not a little girl anymore. To think that she had become so desirable... how he wanted to...

Son Goten, stop it with those thoughts right now! This is BRA-CHAN, for Dende's sake! Trunks' sister, your niece's best friend, Vegeta's daughter!

Oh God... if Vegeta found out about this... he'd be a dead man, that was for certain.

Despite the warnings he gave himself, Bra didn't leave his mind. If he had known things would have ended up like this, he would never have agreed to this living arrangement. She probably hated him now. How was he going to face her?

~*~

A week passed, and things were just as Goten had feared. Bra wouldn't even look at him, let alone talk to him. Whenever he would try to apologize she would just ignore him. Trunks and Pan both had busy schedules, so thankfully, they were never around much to see what was going on. Unfortunately, Bra began staying away from the house as well, just so she wouldn't have to be around him.

But Pan knew everything. She watched her uncle, and could tell that he was very sorry for what he'd done. He wanted to make things right but Bra had to be the one to accept it, but right now, she wouldn't.

Pan, however, had her own pain to deal with. She had overheard Trunks and that blonde girl Kia make a plan to go to a club called The Cage. Damn him, Pan thought. This girl was probably just after his money like all the others.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Pan compared herself to Kia. Pan told herself she couldn't be too bad looking, a guy had actually asked her to dance during the party, and a cute one at that. She only wished Trunks would notice that she was just as pretty as all of the other girls he'd dated.

Suddenly, Pan had an idea. She picked up the phone and dialed the number to Bra's cellphone.

"Hey, Bra. I've got an idea. Since you're looking for an excuse to stay away from the house, why don't we go out tonight?" Pan said.

"Go out? Where?"

"To this club on 6th Street called The Cage. Ever hear of it?"

"Oh, yeah. It just opened in the beginning of the summer, but it's already really popular with the college kids," Bra said.

"Well, Trunks is going to be there tonight... with HER."

"Oh. I get it. You want to spy on him."

"No, not spy on him. Just make it so we happen to run into him."

Bra sighed. "Well, why not? Maybe dancing would do me some good."

"Cool! When are you gonna be home?"

"In a few hours."

"Good, Trunks is going to be getting there at 8:00, so we should try to get there by 8:30. See you in a few hours."

~*~

"What? You mean she's still mad at you?" Trunks asked Goten in disbelief.

"Yeah. She won't even talk to me."

"Jeez, you'd almost think that you were the one to walk in on her, not the other way around," Trunks said, causing Goten to flinch.

If only you knew...

"I've tried to apologize. But she won't listen. She's my friend, I don't want her to be mad at me," Goten said.

"Hey... I know. How about you go out to the club tonight with me and Kia? Maybe you can meet a few people, get your mind off things," Trunks offered.

"Are you kidding? I haven't even wanted to go near another party scene since that night. I think I'll pass."

"Come on, Goten. You may have acted like a baka, but it was an accident. Come with us tonight, and don't think about it so much. And just to be safe... don't go near the bar."

"Very funny. All right, I'll come."

"Good."

END PART 4. =)


I was watching the scene in Fushigi Yuugi where Tamahome walks in on Miaka while she's naked. It's a hilarious scene, and I REALLY wanted to do something like that for this story, hence, the Goten and Bra incident. Hope you enjoyed!

Also, I REALLY need ideas for this story! Mail me at presea@starmail.com if you have suggestions! And visit my website,
