Chapter 20: Look out
Chelsea…Here comes Bra!
Chelsea sighed in relief when
she saw that her hair had (successfully) turned back to its normal colour –
chestnut brown. Last night was like a bad dream come true for her. Even though
she had locked that little brat, Bra Briefs up inside that little room, spiked
the punch and got all Bra's little friends drunk, she's still feeling rotten.
Why? Just because Goten
rejected her! HER. Like hell-o? Who does he think he is? Nobody rejects Chelsea
Rich…especially not a little nobody like him. The only thing that is keeping
her sane is the fact that he had rejected Bra too.
But that's not good enough.
She wanted him and as always… what Chelsea wants, Chelsea will get. Chelsea
gritted her teeth as another twisted little plan began to form inside her
little head.
"Miss Rich?" the housekeeper's
high pitched voice interrupted Chelsea's thoughts.
"What?" Chelsea sneered. God,
she HATED to be interrupted.
"There's a boy on the phone
and he wants to speak to you," the housekeeper held up a white wireless phone.
"Can't you see I'm busy?"
Chelsea demanded.
"Yes, but he said you're
waiting for his call."
Chelsea raised a perfectly
plucked brow. "Who is 'he'?"
"He said his name is Goten."
Goten? So he finally came to
his senses. Chelsea jumped up from the leather armchair she was sitting in and
snatched the phone from the housekeeper's hand. "Um…yeah, I was waiting for his
call. You can leave now." She waited until the old lady was gone from sight
before she held the phone to her ear.
"Hello?" she said as coolly as
possible. Hey, it was his fault for making a fool of her! He should be glad
that she's even talking to him!
"Uh…hi Chelsea…um, how is
going?" Goten's voice said on the end.
"Why are you calling me?"
Chelsea asked.
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\
"I am calling you
because…because why, Bra?" Goten whispered, looking helplessly at Bra, who was
standing right beside him. She put her finger to her lips in the gesture that's
telling him to keep quiet, then she handed him a slip of paper.
"Uh…I am calling you because I
really, really like you. I was a stupid fool for not choosing you over Bra
Briefs. Please forgive me and I was wondering if you would go on a date with me
tomorrow." Goten read from the paper. Beads of sweat were beginning to appear
on his forehead. His voice was dull and in monotone.
"Why are you sounding so
weird?" Chelsea's voice came on the receiver.
"I…" another helpless look at
Bra.
"Have a cold!" Bra whispered.
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\
"I…have a cold. So will you go
on a date with me?"
Chelsea bit her lips, chewing
off a bit of the cherry-flavoured lip-gloss she applied earlier on. She wanted
to say yes badly, the word was already on the tip of her tongue but somehow;
her instincts are telling her that something is fishy about this whole
thing.
But then again, it IS Goten –
the guy's cute, there's no doubt about that but he's not exactly smart. So
what's the harm on going on a little date? Besides, he did ask her to forgive
him.
"Okay," she said into the
speaker. "Pick me up tomorrow at 5 PM."
"Where?"
"At my house, DUH!" Chelsea
rolled her eyes as she hung up the phone. I wonder what Goten likes in a girl?
Chelsea wondered, 'Cause I really want to impress him. Does he like girls to
wear a certain colour or a certain hairstyle?
Hmm…this calls for a new
outfit, Chelsea thought as she grabbed her purse and dashed out the door. She
need to look good for her date – really good.
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\
"Yes! She agreed!" Bra yelled,
jumping in the air.
"You know Bra, for a girl who
had just received the news that her boyfriend is going out on a date with her arch
enemy, you're really taking it well." Trunks commented dryly.
"Shut up!" Bra glared at her
older brother. "Oh! And Goten, you have to dress well for this date," she
turned her attention back to Goten. "Chelsea's real picky about things like
that you know. So we should go to the mall and pick out some new clothes for
you! Don't worry…it's on me!" Bra whipped out the shiny plastic card from her
pocket. "Let's go!"
"Um…Bra, I don't think…" Goten
protested quietly as he was dragged out the door by Bra.
Pan sighed. "Ah…I feel sorry
for uncle. He's in for a rough ride!"
"Yeah, I know what you mean."
Trunks agreed.
Pan glanced sideways at
Trunks. Somehow, she still can't get that awful, awful image of him kissing
Marron on the washroom floor. What's wrong with you? She asked herself. He's
drunk for heaven's sake!
Trunks noticed that Pan was
acting a bit weird. "We need to talk!" he leaned down and whispered in her ear.
She nodded then cast a questionable glance over at Marron, who was also in the
room.
Marron was not dumb. She knew
that Trunks wanted to be alone with Pan for a while so she stood up from where
she was seated. "Ah…what do you know, it's getting late. I should be heading
home now." She smiled at them. "See you guys tomorrow!"
Trunks waited until Marron was
out of sight then he turned towards Pan. "First of all, I want to tell you that
I'm really sorry about the party."
"I know that," Pan said. "I
know you are drunk…there's nothing to be sorry about." The weird feeling she
had inside of her did not go away. Stop being so jealous! She commanded
herself. You're acting like a little brat.
"But you have doubts about
me." Trunks stated.
Pan looked up, surprised.
"Well…yeah." She admitted. "It's just that…"
"Will this help?" He gently
pressed his lips onto hers and kissed her.
"Yeah…it helped." Pan breathed
when they finally pulled apart. She rested her head on Trunks' shoulder – all
her doubts evaporated "It helped a lot. But now we got to think up a way to get
Ubuu and Marron back together."
"Right, anyway bright ideas?"
Trunks asked.
"Nope – well, at least not
yet. But I'll think up something."
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\
"Okay…so do you remember
everything you're suppose to say to Chelsea?" Bra asked Goten.
He groaned. "Please Bra," he
pleaded. "I can't remember all this stuff – no matter how many times you drill
me on it. Ask somebody like Trunks or Ubuu to do this, please?"
Bra sighed. "Come on Goten,
she likes YOU. She doesn't like my brother or Ubuu… so you have to do it. Oh…do
it for me, please?" she flashed him a sad puppy face.
Goten gave in. "Fine."
"Great!" Bra pinched Goten's
cheek. "Now remember, you wear this white shirt with these black pants and
those shoes, got that?"
"But Bra," a deadly glare from
Bra immediately shut Goten up. "Yes sir!" he mumbled instead.
"Hey! I got an idea to help
you remember what to say!" Bra dashed up to get a black ballpoint pen. "Okay,
now give me your hand." Goten extended his hand out obediently. Bra took the
lid off the pen and started writing on Goten's hand. "These are all the things
you must say to her…don't forget."
"What?" Goten stared at his
hand. "I'm supposed to tell her that I like girls with shaved heads?"
"Yeah…Chelsea wants you to
like her, so she'll probably do it. Believe me, girls will do anything to get
her crush to notice her." Bra replied confidently. If you asked me to shaved my
head for you then I'll definitely do it! She added silently to herself.
"What if she doesn't?"
"It's still worth a try. Can
you imagine Chelsea with a shaved head? That would be hilarious! Oh yeah…
Goten, there's one thing you have to remember," Bra said. Her smile was gone
and she looked dead serious.
"What?"
"You CAN'T kiss her…you got
that?"
"Of course," Goten nodded.
"But can I kiss you?" Oops, he thought in alarm after he realized what he had
just said.
A light blush appeared on
Bra's face and she looked down. "Sure – if you want."
"Uh…okay," Goten closed his
eyes to Bra and planted a quick, awkward kiss on her lips.
Bra pouted. "What the heck was
that? You call that a KISS?" she demanded. "I will show you what a real kiss is
like." A devilish smile appeared on his face as she inched closer to Goten.
"Watch and learn." She whispered before covering his lips with her own.
