Chapter 10 - I'm Hungry
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Trunks woke up before dawn to the sound of Pan's whining. "I'm hungry Trunks! Wake up!" Trunks hesitantly opened one eye, seeing no one there he went back to sleep. "Trunks?! Didn't you hear me?! I'm hungry!" he heard again. "Shut up Pan-chan and give me five more minutes." He said, half asleep with a wave of his hand, then covering his head with a pillow. Pan just sat there surprised at him calling her that. ~Must just be the early morning, oh well~ she thought. "TRUNKS?! WAKE UP!" she screamed throwing a pillow at him. "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" He asked, sitting up quickly. He looked around once more and saw no one there.
He nearly fell over in surprise as she swung down, hanging by her legs from one of the wooden bars that supported the canopy. Her upside-down face was only five inches from his own. "I've been here waiting for you to wake up forever!" "Let's try this again: What do you want?" "I'm hungry," she said in a childlike manner as she released her legs from their hold on the wooden beam, falling on Trunks' legs. ~Ouch~ he thought. "And?" He asked irritated. "And I don't remember how to get to the dining hall." She stated simply. "Why didn't you just call a maid?" He was beginning to get annoyed with her. "I don't know how!" she said complaining. "You press the button that says maid! No duh!" he said laughing while pushing her off his bed.
"Hey!" She shouted indignantly. "Aw shut up!" She ducked as a pillow flew her way. Picking up the pillow she threw it as hard as she could, aiming for his privates. Her pillow, however, did not miss its mark. "That's cheating!" He yelled, clobbering her head with a downy pillow. The pillow split in half and feathers went flying everywhere. All Trunks heard was a growl before she pounced on him, grabbing a pillow on the way. Sitting on his stomach she bombarded him with one pillow after another.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Bra's Room~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Bra lifted her head up from her warm bed as she heard loud noises again. "Oh no, what's going on now?" she asked herself rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Still in her nightgown she walked down the hall to Trunks room. On her way she bumped into a BRICK WALL?! Looking up she saw, much to her relief and embarrassment that it was not a brick wall but a boy about her brother' age, a nervous look on his face. "So sorry princess, I did not mean to knock you over, I was only trying to get to the gates. Please don't mention this to the king." He said helping her up. "Of course not, it was just an accident." She said kindly. "Really?" She giggled at his nervousness. "I won't tell, but tell me, what is your name?" "Goten, I am working as guard at the main gates in front of the palace." "Strange, I've never seen you before." "I haven't been here long, only for three days, I was recruited by scouts." "Well, I'm sorry to hear you were taken away from your home, but it's nice to meet you none the less." She said warmly. "Thank you for your kindness princess." He said with a low bow. "No need for formalities as long as there are no others, you may call me Bra." He was about to make a bow in response but stopped himself midway. "Good bye prin-" She looked at him smiling. "Uh, Bra." "Good bye Goten." She made her way to Trunks room opening the door just to get hit by a pillow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Trunks Room ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Bra nearly fell over laughing when she saw what was going on. Feathers were everywhere, and Pan was sitting on top of Trunks pounding him with pillows as he made futile attempts at defending himself. Picking up a pillow Bra joined in the power struggle. They were all laughing as they pulverized one another with the silky cushions. After quite a while Trunks finally knocked Pan off and began to chase his sister around the room. Squealing like a little girl she climbed on to his armoire, silently signaling Pan to go around and distract him. Seeing her signal, Pan began to sneak up on him silently. As she got close enough she extended her hands and began to lightly touch Trunks' naked sides. He was laughing almost to the point of tears when he fell on the ground. Bra then hopped down and tickled him as well. They shoved a small pillow in his mouth to keep him from screaming. He wriggled all over the floor, unable to regain control. He suddenly got an idea. He powered up and his ki knocked them both off. And so they began again with their chases.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Two Hours Later ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Bulma walked into Trunks' room to wake him up. She saw all three kids and to her surprise, already awake, but it was a very funny sight. Bra lay stretched across one end of his large bed, almost asleep now, Trunks had his head resting on one of the last good pillows in the room, panting like a dog, and Pan lay with her head on his stomach and his feet on Bra's back, taking long, deep breaths. Bulma laughed at their exhausted forms, somehow the mounds of feathers did not faze her happiness. "You know what? I'll let you take the day off, I'll take care of things today." She left the room laughing.
"Trunks?" Pan asked, flipping over onto her stomach. "What?" "I'm still hungry," she said with a sigh. "If I wasn't so tired right now, I'd kill you," he said picking her up. "What are you doing?" She asked halfheartedly. "Showing you something," He yawned. Setting her down in front of the door, he pushed a button that said MAID. A split second later a servant appeared at the door ready to serve. "Good morning Mr. Briefs, how may I help you?" "Good morning Maria. Could you please bring us some breakfast?" he asked right as Pan collapsed, tired from the pillow fight and hunger. "Yes sir." She said as Trunks caught Pan. "Thank you." Bowing her head in reply she left. Picking her up he carried her the same way he had done the night before. She opened her eyes a bit. "So it was you who dropped me in my room last night." "Of course, who else could lift someone who weighed so much?" He said as he set her down next to his sister. Picking his sister up he lay her down on the proper side of the bed, going back and doing the same for Pan. He lay down next to Pan and pulled the covers up over all three just in time to watch the sun rise.
Setain was just disappearing in the distance as the sky took on a brighter hue. He folded his hands behind his head and watched the sun rise over a mountain and into the new days sky. His mind drifted away from the daily miracle of the rising sun. The very back of his mind whispered of the longing for adventures in those mountains, outside of these walls, a longing he had kept silent and secret, burying it in the back of his mind where it mind be forgotten. But he never forgot it.
His thoughts drifted again, bringing him back to the happenings of the day before. "Well then you'd better hurry up and find a mate!"- His mother's words rang vividly throughout his mind. He remembered his father and mother telling him of what happened to those who did not find a mate by the age of forty, they were destined to a life alone. His mind brought him to all of his parents failed attempts at finding him a mate, and then to all of the threats his father made when he refused to mate with any of the girls they brought to him, he then recalled his mothers grief when he turned his face and left. *-"But they are from the royal court, they have noble blood. They are fine and beautiful girls!"-* She had cried to him as he left. ~And none of them had a brain to think for themselves, none of them the dignity to make their own decisions. They are worthless. All they are are empty bodies with nothing but vanity to spur their lives. ~ He would think in disgust. How could they have expected him to mate with those bimbos? They had nothing to offer him, nothing but looks, and looks fade.
He thought then of how his parents must feel shamed that their son still had not mated at the age of thirty-four. ~Only six years left~ He thought wistfully. Only six years left. After a while his parents gave up on him, claiming he was a lost cause. Or so they told him. He still found himself confronted by a large number of girls as he wandered through the courtyards and hallways of the palace. He laughed inwardly as they tried to catch his attention by strutting around a room in which he sat, or when they would bend down to pick something they had "dropped". It was hard to try to ignore or get rid of them when they basically threw themselves at him. There were girls who understood that when he excused himself from the room that he was not interested, and then there more persistent ones. They would trail their fingers down his chest making him swallow while thinking frantically of a way to escape them. The most embarrassing of these encounters was a big scare to his mind.
**- He had just walked into his room and was beginning to undress himself. As he pulled of his spandex he thought he heard something. He stopped and listened for a while. Dismissing it as the wind outside, he continued to undress. Now he was just standing in a pair of briefs. (Briefs in his briefs!) H heard a giggle from somewhere. He didn't even have time to look for the sound when some half naked girl jumped out of nowhere, landing on top of him. He lay on the floor in shock as she began taking off her underwear. "NO!" He shouted as he tried to push her off. He didn't have time to stop her as she pulled off her bra so he turned his head away. "What? Don't you like it?" She asked seductively. "Of course not! What the bloody hell are you doing hiding in my room half naked?!" He shouted, standing up, knocking her off him as he did. She began to cry. He turned and looked at her huddled figure, sobbing to herself, but he felt no sympathy for her, neither did he try to comfort her tears. "Where are the rest of your clothes?" He asked her angrily. She motioned to his bedside. Walking there he picked up her pink dress and hat and handed them to her. "Dress yourself." He said coldly. He turned as she pulled on her bra and dress. She stood up and he turned once more, noticing she had blond hair. ~Strange~ He had thought. "Leave." "But-" "LEAVE." He said firmly, pointing to the door. "I'm so sorry!" She said in a small voice, hat in her hands. "Fine. I'm sorry for screaming, but make it known, that I want nothing of this sort. Nothing." He said in almost a whisper. She left him with a glance from her teary blue eyes. He sat on his bed and rubbed his temples, trying to relieve his growing headache. -**
He had went to his later on and told her about it. **- "I know who it was. Only a VERY few girls have blond hair, it must've been Marron. She's always wanted to be Queen, or at least 'Honorable Wife' of the king. She's power hungry and she thinks that her looks can get her anywhere." -** ~I acted just like dad. ~ He thought to himself. Just then a knock came to his door. He opened it to see the gray hair and kindly face of Maria. "Hello Prince." She said. "I thought we already discussed this!" he said exasperated. "You've taken care of me since I was born, while my parents were busy doing their royal duties. You can call me Trunks." She smiled a warm smile, one he had often seen as she set him to bed as a child while his parents were busy. "What ever you wish, my Prince." She laughed. She began to pull three carts in, each loaded with food, slapping his hand away as he tried to help her. "I don't know why you insist on helping me!" She went to leave the room. "Goodbye Trunks." She said. "Good bye and thank you nana." She turned and smiled at him.
He pulled the trays in front of his huge bed. Sitting down next to Pan he held a piece of bacon under her nose. "Paaan..." He said in almost a whisper. She opened her mouth in her sleep and leaned toward the bacon. He pulled it slowly away from her, making her sit up to get it. ~Damn, she's still not waking up. ~ She leaned forward before he could pull it away from her bit. She got what she wanted but she also bit Trunks finger. His eyes started to water as he tried not scream in pain. Having accomplished her little goal she fell back on her pillow. "Paaan..." He whispered to her again. "What?" She said sleepily. He jumped up and pulled the curtains full back on both of his windows. The light streamed in. Pan saw red from under her eyelids. She sat up slowly, covering her eyes slightly as they adjusted to so much light. "Damn you Trunks! Why's you have to wake me up?" "Hey, you're the one who said she was hungry, not me." The thought of food got her attention, so she stood up and walked to the edge of his bed where the carts lay. ~Thank Dende for food! ~ She thought as a smile crossed her face. She sat down with her feet dangling from off the bed while she dug in.
Trunks watched her eat from his windowsill. ~At this rate they'll be none left for me!~ He thought and jumped up to the food. She looked up and scooted over giving him room to sit. In a couple of minutes Bra woke up and sat beside Pan, but she didn't eat with either of their terrible manners. In no time at all they were full. Well, there was no more food at least. "What now?" Bra asked.
"Hmmmmm. . . I know!" Pan screamed excited. "What?" Trunks asked her. "Go get dressed Trunks!" "Okay" He stood up looking confused. "What the fuck? Do you think I'm going to let you prance around in your boxers?" Pan asked him irritated. "Sheesh. . ." He said under his breath, walking to his bathroom. "Hey Bra, do you have any black dye?" "No, but I think mom might. Why?" "I have an idea! Could you go get it?" "Okay, I guess." She walked out of the room. Pan stood up and rang for a maid. "Good morning. How can I help you?" It was Maria. "Good morning Maria, I'm Pan." "Very nice to meet you. What would you like?" "Could you please bring me two swim suits, three sets of plain armor two for my size and one for Trunks', and three plain black cloaks?" Maria looked at her strangely. "As you wish Lady." "Pan, just Pan." "I will be right back, Pan." She left. So Pan sat on the bed and waited.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Fifteen Minutes Later~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Trunks walked out of the bathroom drying his hair and saw Pan and Bra lying on his bed in bathing suits and some pretty weird stuff. "What the...?" "No time!" Pan said jumping up from the bed and pushing him back into the bathroom. Bra followed with a black box. Pan got into the bathtub and pulled Trunks in after her. "What the fuck are you doing?" "Don't you trust me?" She said giving him puppy dog eyes. "I don't even know you!" He shouted as she turned on the water. "Oh well, that's just too bad for you." Bra came in the tub just as it was half full. Trunks was struggling to get out. "What are you trying to do? Drown me?" "Pan, how can we make sure he can't get out?" Bra asked. Pan stood and walked around Trunks and sat behind him. "Like this." She said as she wrapped her legs around his waist. "Whatever works!" Bra said cheerily.
Bra opened the box and in it was a package of thick black liquid. Pan was having trouble wetting Trunks' hair because he kept trying to pull her hands away. Trunks looked over his should at her. "What are you doing?" He managed to turn full around in her grip, so he faced her. ~Perfect. ~ Pan thought. She dunked his head under the water and he came up completely wet. Bra came up behind him and signaled to Pan to hold his hands. Pan took both of his hands in to hers and made sure he couldn't get loose. Bra began to pour the black liquid into his hair and began to scrub. It turned out that it was like a shampoo and bubbles made their way down his neck. He eyed the dark bubbles carefully, wondering what the hell they were.
Trunks dropped his head in resignation. Pan lifted his head up with one hand, keeping both of his in one of hers. "Come on, cheer up!" He again eyed the bubbles as they slid down his neck. "You're gonna have a lot of fun so quit being a baby." She said softly. He looked up at her with the saddest eyes he could muster. "Don't do that!" She said laughing. He intentionally made his bottom lip quiver just a bit. "Don't do this to me!" She shut her eyes. By now Bra was done and was just waiting 'til it was time to take it out, so she lay down in the warm water and closed her eyes.
Pan opened one eye hesitantly and quickly shut it again. Trunks hung his head, closing his eyes. "Will anything make you happy?" She asked miserably. He shook his head. "I think I know something" She said in almost a whisper. He half opened his eyes. She leaned forward slightly, closed her eyes and pursed her lips moving toward his forehead. She was ten seconds away from kissing his forehead and then he looked up. Instead of making her target, she caught his lips. ~Damn~ She thought. He started to kiss her. ~Oh no, what am I going to do?!~ She thought. Just then he broke the kiss.
"I guess you were right." He said with a smile. "Um, I think it's time to wash it out." She said dunking him back in the water. When he came back up, his hair was black. Leaning forward trying to breathe it fell into his face and he almost had a heart attack. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR?!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Whew! Thank God that's all done! Would you call that a cliffhanger? Oh well, at least it's reassuring (with the last three reviews) That at least SOME people are reading this.
Goten: No one loves us anymore!
Des: Poor Goten, look what you've done to him!
The little button down there is getting lonely, please review!

Chapter 10 - I'm Hungry
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Trunks woke up before dawn to the sound of Pan's whining. "I'm hungry Trunks! Wake up!" Trunks hesitantly opened one eye, seeing no one there he went back to sleep. "Trunks?! Didn't you hear me?! I'm hungry!" he heard again. "Shut up Pan-chan and give me five more minutes."

"Pan, just Pan." "I will be right back, Pan." She left. So Pan sat on the bed and waited.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Fifteen Minutes Later~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Trunks walked out of the bathroom drying his hair and saw Pan and Bra lying on his bed in bathing suits and some pretty weird stuff. "What the...?" "No time!" Pan said jumping up from the bed and pushing him back into the bathroom. Bra followed with a black box. Pan got into the bathtub and pulled Trunks in after her. "What the fuck are you doing?" "Don't you trust me?" She said giving him puppy dog eyes. "I don't even know you!" He shouted as she turned on the water. "Oh well, that's just too bad for you." Bra came in the tub just as it was half full. Trunks was struggling to get out. "What are you trying to do? Drown me?" "Pan, how can we make sure he can't get out?" Bra asked. Pan stood and walked around Trunks and sat behind him. "Like this." She said as she wrapped her legs around his waist. "Whatever works!" Bra said cheerily.
Bra opened the box and in it was a package of thick black liquid. Pan was having trouble wetting Trunks' hair because he kept trying to pull her hands away. Trunks looked over his should at her. "What are you doing?" He managed to turn full around in her grip, so he faced her. ~Perfect. ~ Pan thought. She dunked his head under the water and he came up completely wet. Bra came up behind him and signaled to Pan to hold his hands. Pan took both of his hands in to hers and made sure he couldn't get loose. Bra began to pour the black liquid into his hair and began to scrub. It turned out that it was like a shampoo and bubbles made their way down his neck. He eyed the dark bubbles carefully, wondering what the hell they were.
Trunks dropped his head in resignation. Pan lifted his head up with one hand, keeping both of his in one of hers. "Come on, cheer up!" He again eyed the bubbles as they slid down his neck. "You're gonna have a lot of fun so quit being a baby." She said softly. He looked up at her with the saddest eyes he could muster. "Don't do that!" She said laughing. He intentionally made his bottom lip quiver just a bit. "Don't do this to me!" She shut her eyes. By now Bra was done and was just waiting 'til it was time to take it out, so she lay down in the warm water and closed her eyes.
Pan opened one eye hesitantly and quickly shut it again. Trunks hung his head, closing his eyes. "Will anything make you happy?" She asked miserably. He shook his head. "I think I know something" She said in almost a whisper. He half opened his eyes. She leaned forward slightly, closed her eyes and pursed her lips moving toward his forehead. She was ten seconds away from kissing his forehead and then he looked up. Instead of making her target, she caught his lips. ~Damn~ She thought. He started to kiss her. ~Oh no, what am I going to do?!~ She thought. Just then he broke the kiss.
"I guess you were right." He said with a smile. "Um, I think it's time to wash it out." She said dunking him back in the water. When he came back up, his hair was black. Leaning forward trying to breathe it fell into his face and he almost had a heart attack. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR?!"

Whew! Thank God that's all done! Would you call that a cliffhanger? Oh well, at least it's reassuring (with the last three reviews) That at least SOME people are reading this.
