Chapter 14
The time of the party had arrived, and the guests were starting to arrive. Most of their friends were there already, with Goku, Gohan and Goten at the 'snack' table, Chi-chi, Videl, Krillen, #18 and Yamcha were talking in a group and saying their hellos. Marron was talking to this guy she brought to the party. Bra and Pan were upstairs, looking down on the party.
"Hey! There's Goten! Doesn't he look sexy in a tux?" Bra said dreamily. Pan's eyes and senses were darting around the back yard.
"Where's Trunks?" Pan asked. She tried to read his thoughts, but his mind was closed (so to speak). She couldn't even sense him. He was certainly doing a good job at hiding his ki, and his thoughts.
"I dunno. He'd usually be with Mum, meeting the guests, but I haven't seen him all afternoon."
"Hmmm, I can't even sense him…(or read his thoughts)…"
"He can hide his ki pretty well, you know."
"Yeah…he'll turn up." They stood at the window for a while, giggling about the extravagance that some people had gone to. "Look at her!" Pan giggled. "That dress would have cost thousands, and then she goes and wears that hat!"
"I know! And look at him! That's a tux?"
"Hey, There's Trunks! DUCK!" They both hid under the window and lowered their ki.
"Why are we hiding?" Bra whispered to Pan.
"Shoosh. We want to make an entrance, don't we?"
"Oh yeah, well, let's go!"
"Let's go and blow the pants off them!"
"Ummm, you for Trunks maybe, but I don't want to see his…" Bra started to giggle again.
"BRA! It's just a figure of speech!"
"I was just being stupid!"
"That's what you're best at!" Bra glared at Pan. "Come on!" Pan dragged Bra out of the room and they walked towards the stairs.
* * * * *
"Do you know where Bra and Pan are?" Trunks had just walked up to the 'snack' table, where he had spotted Goten.
"I dunno, have you tried searching for them?"
"Yeah, they're hiding their ki."
"Oh, I guess they want to surprise us!" Goten shoved another handful of chips into his mouth.
Oh man, I can't even read her thoughts! It's only fair, I guess. I hid it from her all day. Trunks thought as he grabbed a piece of cake.
"You're right!" Goten turned to Trunks. "I can't sense them either. I guess we'll sense them soon enough. I mean, what else could we find them with?"
"Our BRAINS! Or our eyes! Think Goten! Use the parts of the body designed to find things!"
"HEY!…I resent that comment."
"Just having fun with your head."
"Ooh, you just…" Goten stopped mid-sentence. "Oh…my…dende…" his jaw practically dropped. Trunks turned around and his jaw followed in suit.
"Pan…" Trunks whispered to himself.
"B…B…B-chan?" Goten stuttered. "You…you…" Meanwhile, Trunks was also in a daze. Pan looked breathtaking as she walked down the stairs towards them.
"Hey guys!" Bra walked over to the food table and grabbed some chips and dip.
"B-chan…you look great…beautiful…" Goten whispered.
"You don't look too bad yourself!" Bra giggled.
"GOTEN! BRA! Be careful!" Pan whispered.
When did you get so sexy? Trunks thought as he ran his eyes up and down her body.
I've always been like this, you should know! Pan noticed Trunks' eyes darting over her. And stop undressing me with your eyes!
Don't worry sexy, I've seen you undressed before!
Why you… Pan giggled.
Don't worry, you look great.
Thanks, you look sexy too.
"Pan! Snap outta it!" Bra whispered to her best friend. "You guys can't stop staring at each other."
"Sorry Bra, let's get a drink." Pan walked over to the drinks table.
By the way…" Trunks thought. I'll bet you that Goten and Bra don't make it to tomorrow without being found out.
What are you gonna bet me? Pan thought, and Trunks smirked.
Wouldn't you like to know…
Trunks…I'll have to take you up on that, if they get found out by tomorrow, you win, if not, I win.
What do I win? Trunks was already thinking up dirty things in his mind.
Whoever loses has to be the other person's slave for the day, starting from 10am tomorrow morning to 10am the next day. Trunks' eyes bulged.
I…I…I…accept… Trunks stuttered.
We better talk to other people now…
Sure… Trunks joined Pan and Bra at the drinks table. Pan poured herself a drink and turned to Bra.
"We definitely shocked them, didn't we?" Pan giggled.
"Ooh yeah. In your words, we shocked the pants off them." Bra jabbed Pan in the ribs and Pan yelped. "Gotcha."
"Why you…" Pan growled. Goten and Trunks came over to the two of them and Goten leant on her shoulder.
"Hello Pan, looking smashing tonight." Goten laughed. "Of course loverboy here already knows that, I might talk to him a bit more if he stops drooling…" Trunks shot a death stare at Goten then started laughing as well.
"What about you…staring at my sister like you are going out with her!" Goten looked confused.
"But I am!"
"Don't worry, just screwing with your mind."
"I thought you were screwing my niece…" Goten shot back, pleased with himself for the comment.
"Why you!…" Trunks started.
"Trunks! Stop it!" Pan whispered so only the four saiyans could hear.
"You got in trouble" Goten smiled, then put his arm around Bra's shoulder. "How's my favourite gal?"
"Goten! What are you doing???" Bra said, slightly nervous. "No one else knows, and my dad could be watching us!"
"Oh well, let him deal with it. I don't care." He took his arm off her and reached for another drink.
* * * * *
What the hell is my daughter doing with Kakarrot's brat? She couldn't be…no…they're bonding! Vegeta thought. He had been watching Bra from afar for a while, and he had certainly noticed their attraction to each other, and the closeness they obviously already shared. At least he's a part-saiyan…same as her. Vegeta was actually in a happy mood. He had, for some reason, given Bulma a locket with a picture of them together in it, and she loved it- human's and their material values. She was so happy, and that had made him happy (…not to mention that she made it up to him then, and promised to make it up to him later again…^_^). As a result, he didn't seem too upset that Bra was with Kakarrot's brat.
He continued to sit there, looking at Bra and Goten. His little girl was all grown up. He was so absorbed in looking at them that he didn't notice Bulma come up behind him and put her arms around his neck. She leaned down and kissed his neck for a while. Vegeta didn't move…much.
"What are you looking at?" Bulma faced the direction that his eyes were facing, and saw Pan, Bra, Goten and Trunks.
"Our daughter and Kakarrot's brat." His voice was very monotone and calm. Bulma looked closer at the pair and studied them closer. It was obvious once she knew what to look for. She saw Goten look at Bra lovingly, and put his arm around her a few times.
"They're together now, aren't they?" She asked Vegeta, and slowly kissed her was down his neck.
"They're bonding…"
"How can you tell?"
"I can tell, especially in Bra, she's my daughter, after all."
"They make a cute couple anyway."
"I…agree…" Vegeta stood up and turned to face his mate. She was so beautiful, everything in him just screamed out that he wanted her now. He quickly checked to see if no one was too close, then picked her up and flew inside…
