Chapter 17

All day, Trunks had Pan doing things for him, from her taking his plates to the kitchen to letting him make out with her constantly at the cinema. It wasn't until later that night that Bra, Goten, Pan and Trunks were together alone again, after the infamous party the night before, and the morning after, where Goten and Bra had been found out. Goku and Bulma had gone around telling everyone and anyone they saw that they were together.

"You guys should have been more careful!" Trunks proclaimed. They were in the lounge room again. No one else was in the house, since Vegeta had taken Bulma out for a fly around.

"It wasn't our fault!" Goten had his arms around Bra as she sat next to him leaning on his chest. They had hung out together all day, talking, holding hands etc, and they were happy that everyone now knew.

"Yeah! Leave us alone! You guys weren't exactly careful that time Pan 'slept' over!" Bra folded her arms and stared at her brother

"Besides…" Goten continued, "we were gonna tell everyone this morning anyway."

"Well, then, everything turned out ok. What's the problem?" Pan levitated over to the lounge where Trunks was and plonked herself down next to him. He gathered her up in his arms and pulled her towards him.

"There is no problem. The only thing that has changed since we first found out started going out this that everyone else knows."

"How did dad take it?" Trunks asked.

"He…I don't know. He was the one who figured it out, that's what mum said. I think he's accepted it, in his own way." Bra looked up at Goten. "If I know daddy, he's probably thinking that a 'low-class saiyan's brat' is better than a 'weak human brat'." She giggled, and Trunks laughed at her impression of Vegeta.

"So are you guys gonna come out of the closet yet? wink, wink" Goten teased.

"Not yet…GOTEN!!!" Trunks realised what Goten had meant by that comment and started to get up to bash the crap out of his best friend, but Pan stopped him by laying on top of him.

"In answer to your question, my dear uncle Goten, we are continue to keep us a secret. It's for the best at the moment, and it's also…fun…" Pan trailed off.

"Ooooh, I get ya! 'nudge nudge'." Bra started to giggle again.

"Bra! You idiot!" Pan cried, starting to laugh herself. Trunks looked at Goten, who shrugged.

"On a totally different note, I have to know something." Trunks paused as if waiting for an answer before continuing. "Did you two sleep together last night?"

"Trunks! You have no right to ask that…but since you asked, I will answer your question." Bra folded her arms and looked her brother straight in the eyes. "No."

"Really? Goten! You guys didn't do it? And you had the opportunity?"

"No we didn't. I don't think one week surpassed is enough to warrant us sleeping together at this present moment in time. I mean, you guys were going out for 6 months before you guys slept together! You must have been seriously wanting sex again by that stage." Bra said, looking at Trunks, who had shyed away behind Pan. Pan knew why.

"Why are you hiding behind Pan for, Trunks" Goten asked, curiously.

"Ummm, what do you mean by 'sex again'?" Bra and Goten were shocked to say the least.

"Are you meaning to tell me that you were a virgin until last week?" Bra cried.

"Ummmm…yeah…"

"Well I'll be dammed." Goten said out loud to himself. "But I'll bet you that you were doing it all night last night, anyway." Goten grinned, for he had thought of a plan to find out some information. His plan worked. Pan went bright red in the face.

"How…the hell…" Trunks stammered. "I mean, you have no proof of that!"

"Gotcha! You guys WERE at it all night!" Pan's face was still red, and Trunks' had a tinge of red.

"What????"

"Hell, I didn't know anything! But just by suggesting that I knew that you did it, my niece over here would go red if it was true, and you would slip up too!" Goten tapped his head. "Smart, aren't I?" Pan and Trunks shot a glance to each other, then to Goten, then back to each other.

Ok, whatever. But you have to admit, that was pretty…clever… Pan thought.

Yeah…right… Trunks glared at Goten, who shrugged.

"What's wrong?…buddy…pal…?" Goten laughed.

"Why you…" Trunks began to get up to bash Goten again, half pushing Pan off him. Pan protested.

"Hey! How dare you push me off!" Trunks turned back to her and smirked.

"I'm gonna have to punish you for that, my slave. One more outburst and I'll have to take action."

"Oh yeah, like what?"

"Like this." Trunks leaned onto her and kissed her forcefully. He slid his hand down her back and around her waist, pulling her to him. Pan quickly caught on, and kissed him back. Goten and Bra just sat there, and Goten shielded his eyes.

"Let's throw a bucket of water over them!"

"Hey GUYS!" Bra yelled. "PAN!! TRUNKS!!" The couple seemed oblivious to the sounds around them. Finally, Goten decided to take charge and pulled Trunks off Pan.

"Do you guys realise what you are doing?" Goten asked.

"Hey! No one else is here, so what are you complaining about???" Pan whined.

"We are here! We don't want to watch you two making out on the lounge!!!" Bra cried.

"Anyway, what was all that about???" Goten looked at the pair, and something seemed different, that he hadn't noticed before.

"We were just kissing…that's all." Pan looked over at Trunks, who was grinning cheekily.

"Yeah, right. That's not just all. You guys are planning something, right?"

"No…"

"Or do you know something we don't?"

"Like what…"

"I don't know, it's like you're…I KNOW!!! You're acting like dad when he's reading minds…Can you guys read each others minds?" Pan smiled and Trunks took her hand.

"Yep…" Goten and Bra were shocked. That only happened when two people had bonded fully…

"So, Trunks…bonded with my niece eh?"

"Yep. And you can't do anything about it."

"And I don't plan to!" Goten laughed. Bra looked over at Pan who was beaming.

"Got yourself a mate, girl."

"Don't talk to me like that! I'm not your daughter!"

"Oh well. Hey, what time did you have to be home?" Pan looked at her watch.

"Oh shit! I was supposed to be home 10 minutes ago!!!" Pan jumped up. Trunks kissed her as she flew past. Come and see me later, ok, about 11pm?

Sure…I'm looking forward to it.

I love you.

Love you too. Trunks thought as she flew out the door. Something in his mind stirred, and he knew what he had to do.
