Ch.6: Out on their own
Jasmine and Veronica lured Justin and Jacob into traps whenever it had been made
possible. Veronica spent her free time in search of her mother. Finally after three long
months and Jasmine's twentieth birthday, Veronica found Alishia Connelly's pimp.
"Karl Conrad? I love their names. They're so original." Jasmine said clicking around on
the computer. "Are you sure you want to find your mom" Kami knows what she is like."
"So how was your date with Justin?" Veronica asked changing to subject.
"He's still trying to talk me into mating with him." Jasmine replied closing out her search
window. "You know I've been thinking, why don't we get out of everybody's hair and
get an apartment?"
"Oh really." Veronica said smiling. She had been ready to move out of Capsule Corp
since she was seventeen.
"Well duh," Jasmine answered. "I've seen how serious you and Jacob have been getting
lately. Besides we could use the experience."
"I couldn't agree more." Veronica said. "I'm to the point of saying to hell with him
asking my family to mark me. I'm going to mark him."
"Veronica! Kami don't let your brother hear you say that!" Jasmine said shocked.
"Calm down Jas." Veronica reassured. "I'm going to play out my plan and keep him
guessing."
"Okay. I found an apartment. Two bedroom, nice kitchen, carpet, and a new coat of paint
in every room. There is a fifteen hundred dollar down payment. Are we ready?"
"No the question is are you ready?" Veronica answered. Jasmine quickly shut down the
computer and grabbed her coat.
"I've got 987 dollars on me. Let's ride." The girls left to check out their hopeful
apartment.
*Jacob and Justin's apartment 2 hours later*
"Well Justin, any luck with Jasmine?" Jacob asked. Justin shook his head.
"Not happening any time soon either." Justin said flipping around his tail as he looked
out to see a black corvette drive up. "Hey Jacob look, a vett just drove up and two really
hot girls have just approached the front door." Jacob looked over Justin's shoulder. The
two girls were actually Jasmine and Veronica. They had just sighed their lease to the
apartment.
"Well apartment six is the only apartment open." Jacob said hearing two voices coming
up the stairwell. "Must be our new neighbors."
*Veronica and Jasmine apartment six*
"Kami I love Bulma for this!" Jasmine said laughing as soon as the door to apartment six
closed. "The ad didn't say it was furnished though." There was a dark green couch, a
matching chair, a brand new cherry wood table in the dining room, and a coffee table in
the living room.
"This furniture is awesome," Veronica said sitting in the chair. "Bulma told me it's all
new." The doorbell rang. Jasmine answered the door.
"Justin, Jacob how did you two find us?" Jasmine asked. Veronica looked curiously over
Jasmine's shoulder.
"What are you talking about?" Jacob replied eyeing Veronica. "We just heard you two
coming up the stairs and we wanted to see who our new neighbors were. We're in
apartment five."
"Oh well come on in." Veronica said laughing. The guys stepped in and closed the door.
"I remember when Alishia lived here." Justin said looking around.
"Alishia Connelly?" Veronica asked.
"You know her?" Jacob replied.
"She's Nia's mother." Jasmine told him.
"Oh okay. So what does Mr. I'll kill you if you touch them say about this?" Justin asked
laughing.
"He doesn't know yet." Jasmine answered. "He won't be happy that we are on our own
but then again, he hasn't been happy since Pan died."
"Who's Pan?" Jacob asked curiously.
"She's…" Jasmine began but Veronica cut her off automatically.
"Jasmine!" Veronica said warningly. "Don't talk about her." The four fell completely
silent until Justin spoke.
"We better get going. Gotta go to work." Jacob leaned over and kissed Veronica deeply,
pulled away and left.
"Nia we'd better go get our stuff from Bulma's and break it to your brother." Veronica
plopped down on the couch.
"You know I wonder what life would have been like if Pan hadn't died."
"Trunks loved her so much. But then again, what would have happened if Jeremiah and
Jeffrey had survived? Nia I think its time."
"What do you mean?"
"I think we just need to do it. Jacob and Justin are not about to leave us alone. They love
us so much." Veronica smiled as Jasmine took a seat in the chair.
"That's true. You know something?"
"What?" Both had slipped into a daze.
"We're both still virgins." Jasmine broke into laughter.
"Well then I never expected that subject to rise. Now Pan on the other hand." Veronica
shook her head.
"She was three months pregnant when she died. I never told Trunks though. Just hearing
about her death well."
"You know we could just go back and get her."
"Sounds good to me. You want to do it or do you want me too?"
"You better do it. I'll distract your brother."
*Capsule Corp. Trunks' bedroom*
Trunks sat on his bed looking at a group picture of him, Jasmine, Veronica, and a raven-
haired woman who looked slightly younger than Veronica. Her name was Pan and
Trunks loved her deeply. She was the daughter of Gohan but he never knew this. She
fought against the androids very well, even for being a quarter Saiyan but died in one of
her battles. Bulma knocked on Trunks' open door.
"Hey there Trunks." Trunks looked up from the picture.
"Oh hey."
"Whatcha got there?" Bulma walked over and sat on the bed. Trunks handed her the
picture.
"That was their first concert. Veronica was fifteen, Jasmine was sixteen, and Pan the girl
hugging me from behind was fourteen."
"How old were you?"
"Well I was seventeen and these three meant everything to me. Pan died before I had
gotten back. She was pregnant, three months and she was still fighting. Dead at the age of
seventeen."
"She must have meant a lot to you."
"Well I loved her. She was so much like Gohan but now she can only be a memory."
"How was she connected to Gohan?"
"Pan was his only daughter although he never knew but she did which made her
determined to fight next to us. I fell for her though she could never think of me more than
a brother or her best friend."
"That's too bad. So were they a band or something?"
"Yes they were. Known as Wild Angels. They remade songs by Pink and a couple other
artists. They lasted about two years and released three albums, all remade music. They
got a scholarship to one of the best schools in Japan. Veronica finished her law degree in
April and Jasmine finished her psychology degree in early May just before we got here.
Veronica got really sick after she graduated but recovered a day or so before Jasmine
graduated."
"A lawyer and a psychologist, how fitting. I don't see Jasmine as a psychologist though.
She fits more as a lawyer." Veronica and Jasmine walked into the room.
"Hey Trunks guess what." Veronica said.
"I'm not good at guessing games. Nia you know that."
"Nia and I are moving out on our own." Trunks didn't react. Instead he just stood up and
hugged his sister and let go.
"I figured you two were goin for an apartment sometime soon. Congratulations." Both
jumped up and hugged Trunks.
"Okay Jas, we need to get our stuff and get back." Veronica said pushily. She wanted to
get Pan so she could give Trunks everything he wanted. Jasmine and Veronica had left
within an hour. Jasmine headed for the apartment, Veronica the time capsule.
