Author's Notes:
(Read the reviews to understand all of this....)
So, so sorry Hanita-chan! I can't believe she did that to you!! She left you hangin there
with an empty ice cream bowl and ants! I assure you that *I* didn't eat that ice cream. It
must have been Meg! Okay, I'll leave you some ice blended mocha. Poor Hanita-chan....
SHAME ON YOU, MEG! SHAME SHAME SHAME!
Chapter 15:
"Ok woman, you know something and you're going to tell me what!," he ordered and
cornered her against the fridge and the counter.
Bulma looked around nervously. 'Damn,' she thought to herself, 'how's the genius going
to get out of this one now?!'
"I don't know," Vegeta answered matter-of-factly.
"Damn!," Bulma cursed out loud, "Stay out of my head Vegeta!"
"Not until you tell me where the brats are," he growled, "you have something to do with
this!"
"Now why would you think that?," Bulma asked casually. Vegeta narrowed his eyes at
her and continued to stare into her eyes, making her uncomfortable. Yes, of course she
was hiding something from him. He could tell by the way she was so anxious to get away.
She knew he thought this too, because before she could make it any more obvious or he
could do anything else, she kissed him. The kiss lasted a minute or two, but when it was
over Vegeta narrowed his eyes at her again.
"You're still going to tell me," he said. Bulma gulped and smiled nervously.
"I am?," she asked, smirking, meaning more along the lines of, 'I'm not.'
"Yes," he growled, grabbing one of her wrists and looking her in the eyes intensely, "You
ARE going to tell me where they are, and you are going to tell me now."
Bulma was about to refuse with her usual yelling and attitude, but Vegeta dissuaded her
from that.
"Woman," he said, "I want to know where my children are." For a minute, Bulma's eyes
lit up. He had called them his 'children', not 'brats', and he had said that he wanted to
know where they were - he *cared*! Vegeta continued, though, "And when I find the
spawns of Kakarot, I will brutally murder them." Bulma's eyes narrowed again and she
frowned.
"You know, Vegeta," she began, and paused as she stared at him for a moment, "You are
one pain in the ass, you know that?"
He smirked and grabbed her other wrist. "WHERE are they?," he asked.
"Vow of silence," Bulma stated.
Vegeta narrowed his eyes. Bulma looked away stubbornly. "Woman," he said through
clenched teeth, "there is nothing stopping me from 'accidentally' blowing up your whole
precious lab."
"You wouldn't!," Bulma exclaimed, looking back at him and into his eyes, searching for
any hint of a bluff. But all she saw was his stony stare, which meant....
"I will," Vegeta said, letting go of one of her wrists and making a ball of energy in it. He
aimed for the lab out the window and looked back at her. She stared at him with wide,
disbelieving eyes. "One....," he began.
"Vegeta?!"
"...two...."
"VEGETA! Don't you dare!"
"...thr-"
"FINE! You are *such* an *ASS*!," Bulma yelled, angry and exasperated. Vegeta
smirked at her and let the energy ball disappear. Then he held her wrists to her side and
stared into her eyes.
"Now *where* are they?," he asked.
"Yes, *where* are they?" Bulma and Vegeta turned to see Gohan standing in the
doorway with his arms crossed, glaring at them. He had come in when he sensed Vegeta
preparing a ki blast when he was aiming for Bulma's lab, and he had listened just enough
now to know that Bulma had full knowledge of where the four kids were.
"Uh...," Bulma stammered. She tried desperately to think of some way to weasel her way
out of this one.
"Don't even think about it," Vegeta said, narrowing his eyes at her.
"Stay out of my head!," she yelled back. Vegeta just laughed cruelly and waited for his
answer.
"Well?," Gohan asked.
"Leave my woman alone," Vegeta growled. Bulma had to laugh at how stupid that
sounded, coming from *Vegeta* of all people. He was the one squeezing her poor wrists
to death, and he had the nerve to tell someone else to leave her alone!
"Well I *want* to know where Pan and Goten are," Gohan said icily, "Now, Bulma,
where are they?"
To Bulma's surprise, Vegeta didn't argue with Gohan - he actually turned his attention
toward Bulma and waited for an answer. He did this only because he knew that he was
creating a diversion for her - and he didn't want to do that, because he wanted an answer.
Vegeta and Gohan stared at the now out-of-ideas-Bulma. She shifted uncomfortably and
laughed nervously. "Well....," she began, "this is gonna sound... 'out of this world'," she
punned, laughing nervously still. She didn't expect them to pick up on the real meaning of
the words.
"WHAT?!," they yelled together, "They're in SPACE?!?!"
Bulma scrunched up her face. Now how did they do that? "Yeah," she said, still in
disbelief that two Saiyans could actually figure out what she meant. 'Maybe I was too
obvious in my little pun there,' she thought disappointedly, shaking her head.
Back In Space.....
Pan had Trunks pinned in the Gravity Room......(in a nice position, might I add)
"Are you going to concentrate now?" she asked. Obviously he couldn't concentrate on
anything other than the way they were positioned. "Do I have to concentrate on fighting?"
he asked.
Pan stared into his eyes - looked into him. Here was the one person she had loved so
deeply all of her life, the one person who had stolen her heart...and she didn't want it back.
He could keep it, as long as she could have his. She knew that she already did though.
"No," she said finally, answering his question as a smile formed on her lips, "you don't
have to."
Trunks fixed his fake pained expression into a smile as well. "Good," he said, "I'm glad.
Now I can concentrate on other things."
"Like?," she asked, smirking.
"As if you didn't know," Trunks said, returning her smirk.
Before Pan knew it, she was pinned under Trunks. She giggled as he began to kiss her. It
was the greatest feeling that either had ever felt. It was something so right, something that
they had each wanted for a long time without even knowing it. A few minutes later, when
they finally broke for air, they were gasping for breath and staring into each other's eyes.
"That was possibly the most beautiful feeling I've ever felt," Pan said, smiling and pushing
his hair away from his face.
"You wanna feel more?," he asked, smirking.
Pan nodded and licked her lips seductively before they began another passionate kiss.
They finally broke to the sound of....silence. They gave each other suspicious looks as
they wondered why it was so quiet - weren't they on the same ship as the 'loudmouth' Bra
and the usually 'accident-prone' Goten?
Trunks nuzzled Pan's neck and whispered in her ear, "How about we continue this later?"
She nodded and gave him one final kiss before they headed up the stairs and to the tv
room, where they had last left Goten and Bra.
Meanwhile.....
Goten grabbed her back quickly and turned her so she was lying on the couch. He then put
his elbows on either side of her head as well as his legs on either side of hers. "We could
sleep...or..." He was interrupted however as Bra leaned forward and kissed him, surprising
both of them.
After a few seconds, Bra broke the kiss. "Gosh, Goten I'm so sorry," she said quickly,
pushing him off of her and walking across the room. "I don't know what came over me!
Oh Kami - I'm so sorry - please forgive me Goten, I-"
Goten walked up to her and kissed her again. At first she was a little surprised, but
enjoyed the kiss thoroughly and was glad that Goten felt the same way. All too soon,
Goten broke the kiss, leaving both their lips hungry for more.
"Gee, Bra, I'm sorry," Goten said in mock seriousness with a twinkle in his eye, "I don't
know what came over me. Maybe you're so beautiful. Or maybe my lips were lonely and
wanted yours' company. Or *maybe* I love you, and you are the best thing to ever jump
out and grab my heart.....yes, that must be it."
Bra stood there, speechless for a moment, before Goten gently touched her cheek and
began to kiss her again. She wrapped her hands around his neck and returned the kiss,
pouring herself into it.
"AHEM," Trunks said. He and Pan were standing in the doorway. They had just come
upstairs from the gravity room, and Trunks suddenly didn't look happy anymore.
Bra didn't notice this though, she blushed a little bit and looked at Pan, who had started
giggling. Pan began to casually walk to her room, waving a hand in the air that motioned
for Bra to follow her.
"Come on, Bra," she said happily, "Let's go to my room - I want *details* missy!"
Bra rolled her eyes and ran past Trunks to catch up with Pan, who was already halfway to
her room. Bra couldn't wait to tell her what had happened - she had a feeling that Pan
had known all along about Goten's feelings. And if she knew her brother (and she did),
then she was sure that something had happened between him and Pan when they were in
the gravity room.... and she wanted to find out just what that was.
"GOTEN," Trunks said through clenched teeth. Goten looked at him quizzically. "That's
my sister you know."
"I know that Trunks," Goten said, then narrowed his eyes. "And that's my niece you were
with...exactly what were you two doing down there?"
"Look, that's different," Trunks said, calming down a bit though he was still angry, "she's
my *sister*, Pan's your *neice*. I don't want you doing anything to Bra."
"Well I don't want you doing anything to Pan," Goten argued, "She may be my niece but
she's as close to me as a sister would be. And she's too young."
"She's 18!"
"Leave my niece alone," Goten growled.
"Leave my sister alone," Trunks growled back.
They looked at each other for a long moment, trying to figure out what to do.
Bra was, and would always be, Trunks' little sister. She was still young, still innocent. He
didn't want to see her doing things that she shouldn't be doing. And with his best friend,
nonetheless. Deep down, he knew that she was a responsible person with a good head on
her shoulders, but it was still hard to see her with Goten....because, well, that was his little
sister. She would always be a baby in his eyes. And he had to take care of her. Nothing
could ever happen to her while he was around.
Pan was, and always would be, Goten's niece (and nearly his sister). Goten saw her as a
young, rash girl who was strong, but......well, young. And his niece. His little niece. His
brother's daughter. How could he let her do, er, things with Trunks? With his *best
friend*?! He didn't remember her growing up, to him she was still his brother's little
baby. Still his little niece, who he had to protect.
Goten and Trunks continued to stare at each other. Neither knew what to do. They
didn't want their sister/niece to grow up.....but that was something that they couldn't even
admit to themselves yet. But at the same time, they wanted to be able to be with the girl
they loved and be able to kiss her...and more. And still, at the same time, they didn't want
to ruin their age-old friendship. It had taken years to make....and it couldn't possibly take
minutes to break - or could it?

Well Meg - that's what you have to work with. I don't think it's too cruel. (I really
don't!) And sorry I couldn't get this chapter up earlier today - I was watching Forrest
Gump and then I had to be the Easter Bunny. Mommy quit. But that's okay, I gave
myself a little extra candy for my trouble. hehe!
Okay everyone, I hope you liked this chapter! I bet you all can't wait to see what Meg
writes. You never know with her....
And everyone be nice to Hanita-chan. The poor girl has been dangling from cliffs for a
while now. (I like to pretend that its not my fault. Please humor me so I can continue to
believe this.)
