Bra looked at the flowers again for the millionth time and sighed. She had them in a vase next to her bed. They were very beautiful and well she was a bit charmed by the fact that someone had left her such beautiful flowers. The phone that was sitting next to them started to ring. Quickly she sat up from where she was laying and grabbed it. "Hello?"

"Its Pan."

"Did you find out who?!"

"Louis." Bra covered her mouth and looked over at the flowers.

"The Louis?!"

"Yes!"

"THE Louis!"

"YES!"

"Are you sure?"

"Oh yeah. I had a good long talk with him."

"What did he say?!"

"He says that he loves you and that he wants you to go out with him, but he's to afraid to make any real moves." Bra squeeled with joy. "You lucky girl! Louis is hot!"

"I know!" She started jumping up and down. "I'm going to call him!"

"No. Don't."

"Why not?" Bra replied disappointedly.

"Because I promised him I would not tell you."

"Oh...Ok! Then I'll form some other plan."

"Sounds fine. I gotta go. See ya tomorrow in school."

"Bye Pan! Thanks so much!" Bra quickly hit the off button and started screaming her head off. Trunks heard this and came running to her room.

"BRA?! What's wrong?!"

"Nothing is wrong! I'm so happy Trunks! Someone out there loves me and I think I love him too and I'm going to ask him out and I'm going to be happy again!"

"Goten?" Bra looked down at the ground with that name.

"....No."

"Then who?"

"Louis."

"The Louis?"

"Yes." Trunks frowned.

"You know how I feel about the Louis."

"I know Trunks, but it isn't about you. Its all about me. The world revolves around me and this." Bra pulled out her credit card. She started laughing insanely and Trunks could only shake his head. Vegeta had given her the card thinking she needed all the clothes on the planet. He felt that she should be spoiled just because she was the Saiya-jin princess. He left her room sighing and decided to give Goten a call to warn him that he had better try and win Bra back fast. Bra on the other hand was skipping around her room giggling.

Goten put down the phone and sighed. He fell back onto his bed with tears ready to fall from his eyes and dark intentions for his enemy, Louis. He would never let that guy steal B chan from him. He just had to find a way to win her over again, but then again according to Trunks, Bra sounded happy. He didn't want to upset Bra. He loved seeing her happy. And if she was happy with Louis then he would let them live together happily. This is where it got difficult for him. He wanted for himself to be happy, but he also wanted Bra's happiness. His thoughts began to confuse him and he decided to give up for the night. With that he fell asleep.

Bra walked around happily in a daze that day in school. All she could think about was how sweet Louis had been. She totally did not notice Goten all day. And she was in too much of a daze to be upset about her history class. She was so incredibly happy. She just walked around smiling and sighing, until she ran into Louis at the mall. "Hi Louis!" She waved cutely and smiled at him.

"Hi Bra." He smiled back at her. "How are you doing?"

"I'm doing great." She had her hands behind her back and her head was tilted to the side cutely. She batted her eyelashes at him and grinned. "How are things going for you?"

"They're good now that I'm hanging out with you." Bra giggled a bit and hugged him.

"That's so cute." He stroked her hair and hugged her close. Bra felt herself in total bliss. Now all she had to do was make everything official. "Um...Louis?"

"What is it?"

"I wanted to know if..." she paused and looked into his eyes. She wanted to ask him badly, but she found herself imagining being in Goten's arms again. "Nevermind."

"No go ahead."

"No really, its stupid."

"Then may I ask you something?"

"What?"

"Will you please by my girl friend?" Bra smiled up at him.

"Yes," she replied sweetly and hugged him again. She felt a certain amount of relief and joy in her heart.

Poor Goten was also at the mall with Trunks and they just happened to be in the same area when this was going on. Trunks could only pat his friend on the back and tell him that their relationship wouldn't last more than a week. Goten though shook his head. "Look at how happy she looks Trunks. She deserves to look that happy all the time. He makes her happy now and I'll not disturb them."

"What are you talking about?! You have to get her back Goten. You moron! Can't you feel the bond you two have?"

"I know its there! You don't have to remind me it is Trunks! I know exactly what I am doing and giving up," Goten replied sharply and quickly.

"I'm not just going to let you leave her behind."

"I would never..."

"You just said you would!" Goten looked at him one last time and then just walked away. It was just like that day back then when he acted too quickly and accused the person he loved. Everything he did was the same, only this time Louis really had her, and he was alone. He felt as if he would never be truely happy, as he had once been, again. Trunks shook his head and looked at Bra and Louis again before leaving too. He would have to find a way to fix everything between Bra and Goten and soon, before the bond was broken. For if the bond broke, one of the two would die, and there was no reason for either to die just because of a misunderstanding. And he already knew who would die. He almost felt like crying for his dear friend and brother Goten even though he was still in public. He walked over to the pay phone and called up Goku. He already had a plan.

A/N: I hope you all enjoyed the chapter even though you all probably hate The Louis and are angry with Goten for giving up so easily. Things always get better!
