*Knock, knock, knock*

I rolled over in my bed, rubbing my eyes. It felt like I'd just laid my head down and now someone was knocking on my door.

*Bang, Bang, Bang*

I rolled over again and glanced at the clock. 10:30 am. I hadn't gotten to sleep until close to 6am. My first thought was to kill the mysterious person at the door and crawl back in to bed but the continuous banging on the door told me that they wouldn't be going away anytime soon.

"Come in." My voice came out in a scratchy whisper but it didn't matter.

The next thing I knew, the door flew open and Bra ran inside quickly, closing and locking the door behind her. Then she turned to me and flashed me her most devilish grin before jumping onto the bed and pulling me into a sitting position.

"Tell me everything Pan!!!!!!" She looked like a child, completely full of excitment. I felt like I was back in high school again.

"Its nothing Bra." I lied.

"What do you mean NOTHING?! You've only been in love with my brother sonce you were 4 years old. I had to hear about it every single day of my life. Then, last night I see you both kissing on the balcony and you tell me its nothing?! No holding out on me Pan! Tell me... or else." She was now holding a pillow above her head, threatening to hit me with it.

I couldn't help but start laughing as the memories from last night came flooding back and it still seems unbelieveable that it had all really happened.

"Pan! Please tell me. I'm dying over here." Bra was pleading now, using her bet puppy-dog face that she always used on Vegeta.

I decided to try one more time to get out of an explination so I gave her my best Vegeta expression. "Go ask Trunks... maybe he'll tell you."

Bra frowned and looked depressed before breaking into a wide grin. "I already tired but he shot a ki blast at me and told me to get out." Her grin widened even more and I could see evil laughter playing in her eyes. "Now Dad is making Trunks train with him in the gravity room."

"Good God Bra! You'll never stop will you?" I couldn't help but grin at the devious woman sitting in front of me. Then my enthusiasm got the better of me and I sat up straighter, flashing my own devilish grin. "Since you went through all the trouble Bra... I guess I'll tell ya. What do you want to know?"

We spent the next 2 hours talking about everything that had happened the night before and I was able to fill her in on the things that had happened on prom night that I'd never even told her about. We had to stop every several minutes to laugh together or reflect on things that one of us had forgotten about. It was the best conversation that either of us had had in a long time.

"Has he told you that he loves you yet?"

I felt my face go red hot and I grabbed my pillow, hitting her with it for being so nosey.

"I take that as a yes, Little Panny." She laughed in credibly loud and I knew she was doing it just to embarrase me. Then she shut up and looked at me with a dead serious expression as if she were deep in thought. Then as sudden as it had come, the expression dissappeared again into a wide smile. She ran over and threw her arms around my neck. "If you marry Trunks, that means we'll be sisters!"

I returned her hug and laughed. "You are getting ahead of yourself, Bra." I told her, trying not to get my hopes up.

"What are you wearing to dinner tonight?"

I opened my mouth to answer but then realized that I had no clue. I looked at Bra and it was then my turn to give her my best puppy-dog face. "Bra?"

She looked at me apprehensively. "What? I don't trust that face Pan."

"Will you do me a big favor?" I was begging now, trying to be as obnoxious as she had been to me.

"What?"

"Will you PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSE go shopping with me?" I was grinning because I knew that she could never refuse an offer for shopping. Especially since she was always telling me that I needed new clothes but since I am not one for shopping, I'd never gone with her.

She jumped up and hugged me excitedly. "As if you need to ask! I'm always up for shopping! You are gonna look SO hot!"

"Nothing crazy Bra." I eyed her knowingly and saw her blush before looking defeated.

"Okay... you'll look... nice." She said while rolling her eyes with a grin.

********************

Since Bra had no fear of Vegeta at all, she went to distrupt Vegeta and Trunks' training session to cancel our sparring match tonight, while I got dressed.

Bra came back in the room to tell me that Trunks wanted to leave for dinner at 7pm. We left about 2pm for the mall and shopped for the better part of the day, having a complete blast. For the first time in my life, I had the scary thought... 'maybe it isn't so bad to be a little femine.'

We arrived back at Capsule Corp around 5:30 and bra helped me get ready. She wouldn't let me look in the mirror until I was finished at about 6:45. When I was allowed to look at Bras handy work, I could barely breath.

My hair was half up in a pile on my head and the rest of my hair was down and curled into ringlets. The eyeliner that she used made my eyes stand out more than usual. The dress that we'd bought was red and came to about mid-thigh, It was a little low-cut but nothing like Bra wanted. We ended up compromising. My shoes were the same color as my dress and they tied up my ankle like ballet shoes. I was having trouble believing that the woman in the mirror was me.

"Pan, you look gorgeous. Trunks won't be able to keep his hands off of you!" She grinned and I blushed.

"We'll see."

"You ready to go downstairs? Everyone dying to see you."

At some point, everyone had found out about the date tonight so they'd all stuck around to see us off. At least that was thier reasoning but I know that they're all just too nosey for their own good.

It was loud when we made our way into the family room but when I walked in, I could have heard a pin drop. All jaws dropped as they stared. (Even Vegeta which was a bit unnerving but after after a split second, he went back to his usual scowl which made me feel better.)

"Pan? Is that really you?" Master Roshi stepped forward and I just knew he was having indesent thoughts. Thankfully Dad purposely stepped in front of Roshi and smiled at me.

"You look great sweety."

Then I heard a noise in the doorway and my heart skipped a beat as I turned and saw Trunks grinning at me.
