Chapter 2: Different

"Whoa you look like heck," Goten said grinning like an idiot.

"I couldn't get any sleep last night, AND I was and still am extremely exhausted from a sparring match yesterday." Trunks replied monotone, too tired to talk.

"Vegeta work you overtime again?" Goten asked while they walk to class (they have the same first period class). Trunks is slowly limping next to him, trying to keep up to Goten's fast pace.

"No"

"Then who beat you up?"

"A girl"

Goten stopped in his tracks upon hearing this. "A GIRL?! How can a girl even hurt you that bad?"

"I don't know. That's why I couldn't sleep last night, I've been trying to figure her out."

Grinning like an idiot again, Goten asks: "Sooo, who is this girl and what is she like?"

"Her name is Goma, and that's all I know about her, she is a complete mystery to me. She's so DIFFERENT!" Trunks says drifting off, his eyes clouding over.

//Oh, player boy actually falling for someone? Let's see if this is true.//

"Hello, earth to Trunks. Trunks come in." At this Trunks snaps back into reality. ||Who is she? Why is she so different? Why did I stay 2 hours waiting for her to recover?||

"Yeah?"

"So tell me, what does this Goma look like? How does she act?"

"She's really energetic and powerful. But she's such a bitch! I swear she attacked me when I called her little girl… and she has the most gorgeous midnight dark eyes..."

~*~*~

"And he's really fast and powerful, he's different. I've never seen anyone like him..."

"So, what's this forest stranger's name?"

"Umm, Geta."

"Interesting name. It sounds like my father's name, Vegeta, except without the VE. So what was he like? Was he extremely CUTE?!"

"Kami! He was such a jerk! He called me 'little girl' when we first met. And so territorial. He wanted me off his 'training arena'...I didn't get to see him, he was always in the shadows or with a hood on. But he has a really nice body... and these gorgeous blue eyes..."

'Wow I gotta meet this Geta, nice body, blue eyes, and he sounds like a nice guy, I mean he saved Pan!' "Pan, can I meet Geta?"

"huh? I guess, I don't know, we're suppose to meet tonight, but um I'll have to get Geta's permission."

"Sure."

"Ok then, meet me after school so we can work on your flying, then after dinner I'll come pick you up! Ja ne!"

"Ja!" And two girls departed from homeroom. After two classes, school ended at 12:00. Since it was a half day, they had more time to work on Bra's flying. After 5 hours of continual dropping and falling, Bra finally got it! She was able to pick up the basics pretty fast, learning how to steer and go around obstacles and how to accelerate. What she had problems with was the braking. She found out this problem when she crashed into Trunks' bedroom window…

"Hey watch it!" Trunks yelled from his bed. He was playing Nintendo 64 with Goten when Bra crashed into his window, then crashing into his big screen TV. //||Oh no, what if she's hurt.||// Trunks and Goten thought the same thing. They immediately rushed to the pile of glass, plaster, and plastic and searched for Bra. Being a Saiyan does have its advantages however, because Bra emerged from the pile of debris unscathed, except for maybe a couple dozen tiny cuts and gashes. By that time, Pan had already floated into Trunks room to help pull Bra out of the mess without hurting her even more. This was the opportunity Trunks took to steal a glance at Pan. He never really got to look at her face, he was more concerned with… ya know. ||Pan looks familiar…|| As if on cue, Pan turned to come face to face with Trunks. They faces being 4 inches apart. Azure fixed with obsidian as they stared for a minute, but it felt like eternity. ||'Those eyes, they remind me of something...'|| Both Trunks and Pan thought. Pan was the one to break the gaze when she heard Bra's cry of pain.

"Bra! What happened?" Pan asked with concern. The reply was a whimper.

"A piece of glass got imbedded in her thigh." Trunks stated.

"We have to get her to the hospital!" Pan nearly panicked upon hearing another loud cry from Bra.

"No she's fine, we'll just bring her to the Capsule Corp infirmary." Goten said, scooping her up and walking out the room.

"You guys have an infirmary?" Pan asked Trunks.

"Well it comes in handy, when you have three Saiyans in a house." Trunks replied as he led Pan down the stairs, past the living room, out the house, and into a small building which Pan assumed was the infirmary.

Once inside, Pan scanned her surroundings. Three white cots sat on the left side of the room and three large bubble-like machines sat on the right side. Bra was seated on a cot and seemed to be alright, apparently Goten removed the glass. After Pan checked on Bra, she went to the machines and started examining them. She was intrigued by the weird blinking control panel of the machine she was observing. Pressing a couple of buttons, a breathing mask came down, and the machine started filling up with a strange blue liquid. Pan then felt a presence behind her. Turning around, she came face to face with Trunks. "That's a regeneration tank, it helps you heal faster." Trunks said without looking Pan in the eye. Pan replied, "Oh". An uncomfortable silence shifted between the two. Then after a minute or two, Trunks broke the quiet. "I'll turn it off." He clicked a red button on the control panel and the fluid began to slowly drain out. The silence once again shifted between the two. BEEP BEEP. Pan's watch beeped indicating it was 6, an hour before dinner and then her meeting with Geta. "Bra, its 6, another hour before I go."

"Oh... then you meet your boyfriend right??" Bra said giggling while Pan blushed an interesting shade of red.

"He's not my boyfriend, I just met him!"

'This is so embarrassing' Pan thought...

'Oh Pan's blushing! This means she has feelings for this Geta fellow! Now I really have to meet him! Hehehe, oh my is Trunks interested now? Hah! He's not getting his grubby hands on this one!' Bra thought while snickering, then she broke out in a maniac laugh. MUAHAHAHAHAA This really freaked Trunks and Goten out, and they decided to leave…

"Ok Pan, how about we go to my room to get ready?"

"But why would I need to get ready? I'm gonna get dirty eventually (meaning as in the sparring match.. don't get ideas)." Pan protested, actually more like whined.

"Well girlfriend, you kept your part of the deal, I know how to fly, so now I'll keep mine!" Bra said. Pan sighed at this, the girl did have a point, and she wanted to look nice for when she meets Geta...

"Ok, but no makeup, I'm gonna be sweating from the fight. Oh and no fluffy hair, I really don't like that. Oh and no stinky perfume!"

"Fine fine, I'll just get your hair silky, no makeup, I mean he probably can't see you in the dark anyways. And um, a tint of perfume. Something natural I guess." Bra decided. At this Pan smiled. "Race ya to your room!" Pan shouted before bolting to Bra's room, leaving a confused Bra in the dust. Bra, since she couldn't walk that well with her injury decided to float to her room. Once there, Bra was shocked to see Pan pawing through her makeup and perfume. Testing every bottle of perfume, Pan finally settled on one that smelled of jasmine and green tea. "Wow Bra! I never knew this could be so fun! You have so much stuff!" Pan shouted with glee. "Hey what's this? concealer? what's concealer?"

"It's used to hide unwanted blemishes and marks on your body and face. But Panny, your skin is perfect, it glows. You don't need makeup really." Bra commented.

"Thanks, um what exactly do I do?"

"Well, take a bath, use anything in my bathroom that you like, try the moisturizer to make your skin smooth and soft. Ooo and you can use my peaches and cream shampoo, I never use it anyways, but it smells good. Then when you come out, I can rub some conditioner (the leave-in kind) in your hair to keep it silky!" Bra continued on and on...

"Thanks a lot!" Pan exclaimed as she walked into the bathroom...

~*~*~Half an hour later...~*~*~

Pan came out of the bathroom in a towel, her hair dripping wet. This was just the time that Trunks decided to open the door to Bra's room, scaring the hell out of himself and Pan. Trunks scanned Pan's body over before thinking ||Oh no, I can't think this about Goten's niece!||. He then turned around as Pan quickly scrambled into the bathroom again.

"'Kaasan said that dinner was ready" Trunks chocked out before walking downstairs.
"Um Bra what time is it? And I don't have anything to change into!"

"It's 7 and you can borrow some of my clothes."

"Thanks... WAIT! 7?? I have to get home-"

"For dinner?" Bra interrupted Pan's tirade. "Call your dad to see if its ok if you eat here? Then we can have more time to get ready!"

"Really?! Oh thank you!" Pan ran to the phone and dialed home.

(Phone conversation)

"Moshi moshi, Son residence." a female voice called from the telephone.

"Hi mommy! Can I eat at Bra's house?"

"Sure honey, let me tell your father."

whispers are heard in the background, then a loud 'WHAT?!' is heard... then an 'okay'.

"Your dad says yes Panny."

"Thank you, bye mom!" And Pan hung up the phone. Bra smiled at this, she knew that Pan was allowed to stay. Pan then went into Bra's walk-in closet and went out wearing a white muscle tank and black Capri pants. Then both demi-saiyans ran down the stairs into the kitchen. Trunks and Vegeta were eyeing the food (which happened to be chicken) warily, as Bulma were putting the plates down. As soon as Pan and Bra sat down, the men dug into the food, and a minute later, Trunks and Vegeta already went their separate ways. "And where are you guys going?" Bulma asked. "TV" was Vegeta's reply. "Out" was Trunks reply as he exited the house via the backdoor. Bulma was left alone with the girls. Not wanting to make Bulma feel lonely, the girls ate their food slowly, keeping Bulma company. Bulma smiled at this, she knew what the girls were doing. After all, Saiyans don't eat slow. "Girls, its ok, you can leave me." Bulma said. The girls smiled and within 30 seconds, dinner was done. "Thank you Mrs. Briefs." Pan said bowing.

"Don't mention it, and call me Bulma!"

"Ok Mrs.- Bulma."

"Yeah, great dinner kaasan. Comon Pan lets go!" And the two girls rushed upstairs. Once inside Bra's room, Pan grabbed the perfume and squirted some on her. Bra grabbed the conditioner and ran some through Pan's still wet hair. Pan quickly fixed this problem by ki drying her hair. "Ok let's go." The girls blasted out of Bra's room (via the balcony, you really think they would go through the roof?!) and towards the forest.
