Chapter 2.
Goten had the worse choices and girls. But what could she say? Sorry Uncle Goten, I can't talk to your girl friend right now. She makes me sick and I want to snap her fucking neck!
"Hello Pan." She turned around to fake a smile but stopped half way, staring at the person in front of her, the lavender haired heartbreaker.
"Hi Trunks..." She muttered in reply. This was something she wasn't expecting.
"Well I see you two need some time to catch up so I'll just be seeing you around, Bye!" he said pushing Pan into Trunks and running off. Pan cursed quietly to herself wanting to chase after Goten and beat the life from him, but froze realizing who stopped her from falling. Blushing she backed up and stood a few feet from him.
"Pan.you look, wow." He managed to mumble. Trunks had to admit he had missed her while she was gone. It just wasn't the same without her, but to see her now.
He stared at her and she shifted uncomfortably. What was she food? "Thanks for the complement but watch it, if your mouth hangs any longer you'll attract flies." Pan retorted. Sure she was uncomfortable but there was no reason for him to know that/
"What can I say.you're beautiful. Haven't changed one bit either."
"I'm flattered, really..."
Trunks started to say something but Bra stepped in pushing him away suddenly and grabbing Pan by the arm. "Yeah Trunks, she is a female...you seem to have a different one every week." Her last words said she led Pan outside where Marron was waiting. "We're going to the mall, you know, like the old days." she said cheerfully, too cheerfully and Pan moaned knowing she was in for a very long day.
"Alright.I guess." Pan agreed. She really didn't mind going to the mall. She just didn't want to be stuck in there all day with Bra, but what was the point? She'd just get dragged anyway. She kicked off the ground looking back at the building /Angel...I'm leaving. /
/Really...? That's nice just leave me. /
/Trust me you don't want to go...unless you want to play bag boy for Bra and Marron. Just go home with my parents okay?/
/Understood.../
*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Who's the new kid? The one you were in the car with." Bra asked gracefully flipping in the air a sly smile plastered on her face. "You know, the white haired cutie?" The mall was way on the other side of town and the streets were usually crowed no matter what time it was. Who would want to wait in all of that when you could fly?
"He's a friend." Pan replied honesty. It wasn't like she had anything to hide, well at least she thought she didn't.
Marron rolled her eyes and tugged at one of her pigtails. "Right." she giggled.
"Come on! Tell us!" Bra pleaded.
"Tell you what?" Pan really didn't need this right now. Was it so much to ask just to have a nice peaceful fly to the mall? She already didn't want to go.
Bra wasn't one to let something go. She'd pester anyone until they told what she wanted and Pan knew. "You've been gone for seven years we wanna know about the good stuff, the guys!"
Pan shrugged. "Well, college is college and the guys are just there." She replied as the mall came into view. Bra sighed seeing she was getting nowhere and dropped the subject. Besides they were at the mall now and there was a lot of work to be done.
*~*~*~*~*~
"I can't believe my luck! These things are dirt cheep!" Bra said holding up an outfit. Pan was surprised she could even find anything she liked. Didn't she have enough already?
"That would look nice on you.but look the shoes I found." Marron said holding them up for Bra to see. The bubbling blue haired girl squealed with delight.
Pan sighed, she never was one to shop at malls, she hated them. Smaller stores were more her style. There was just too much in malls and you always walked away pissed off because you run out of money before you can buy the dress you wanted. Finally she decided on the usual, jeans and a shirt. Seeing nothing else she wanted she went to the check out line. She could always come back. There was no need to spend all her money in one day.
"That's all your getting?" Bra asked. She had three carts full to bring home and seemed mighty happy about it.
"Yeah.unlike you and Marron, I don't like buying clothes that equal enough money to feed the homeless at the shelter for a week." Pan said politely with a smile. Bra opened her mouth to say something but stopped and walked back to Marron. Pan sighed placing her clothes up on the counter for the clerk. It was the same all the time.Had she continued Bra would have went on to her you don't know how to have fun speech and that you need to let lose and burn up a credit card or two. Well excuse me but not everybody is rich and you do have to pay all that money back. She paid the woman and took her back groaning inwardly at the thought of having to wait for Marron and Bra.
*~*~*~*~*~
Pan could have screamed when Bra said she wanted to hit another store. She had spent an hour waiting in the last one! Luckily for her it was a little store. Bra said she wanted to pick up a few gifts for her family. "I guess I can be nice to Trunks for once." she said eyeing some slippers. Bra picked up two pairs of yellow slippers. One said Kami's gift to women and Blue and the other, which had the same color writing said Mr. almighty. "Which one do you think he would like?"
"I don't know." Pan answered. She flipped through a pair of pajamas and picked out some blue ones then threw it in the cart next to the jeans and shirt she had picked, her favorite outfit any day. Angel would need something else to wear...
"Are these for that guy?" Marron asked holding a basket of bath and body works under her arm.
"Angel, yeah." she quickly paid for these too and waited for the others, again.
Bra chuckled softly. "I'm happy for you, really I am. It's great to see you've finally gotten over Trunks."
Pan narrowed her eyes. What the hell was going on here? "How'd you know about that?"
Marron shrugged sheepishly lowering her head, knowing all hell was about to break lose. "Everyone knows.they found out after Videl and Gohan came back without you."
"My parents told you?" Pan could feel a super saiyan fit coming on and it would not be pretty...
Bra continued on as if nothing was wrong, placing her items on the counter. "No.Trunks told mom.mom told 18 and Chi-Chi.Chi-Chi told her family and 18 told hers."
Pan sighed rolling her eyes. "Great.just great." Count on her 'friends' to spread news like wild fire. This was just doing so much for her nerves right about now.
Marron put an arm around her shoulders. "It's not that bad.you act like we put it in the papers." She smiled sweetly, making Pan feel slightly better.
"I don't really know what you see in that other guy.He is cute but." Bra muttered digging through her purse for her credit card.
"I don't like him.he's just a friend." Pan replied.
"So.you're using him to make Trunks jealous.good move. It works so well."
"No."
"I think you are."
"I think you need to shut the hell up." That calmness was slipping.
Bra's eyes widened. "So I am right! That's the only reason why you're getting so mad about it." She grinned at her so-called discovery.
"You're really not making me a happy person."
"Bra I think you should let it rest now." Marron interrupted. She hated it when they fought like this. It always seemed to end with something damaged, from Pan's part anyway.
Bra ignored her and continued to push. "Just admit it.you know I'm right."
Pan's eyes flashed green with anger. Ripping the girl's voice box sounded so wonderful right about now. Hell, the feel of blood period. "Your brother humiliated me in front of his friends then had the nerve to tell people about it.how dare you even insinuate that I like someone like that. Trunks is like trash beneath my feet. Crushed and forgotten."
It was Bra's turn to equal in anger. She matched glares with Pan not letting up. "Hey! That's my Bro you're talking about!"
"Since when do I care? Your Brother can kiss my ass! The last thing I need is you bitching to me about something from the past. Time to move on Princess, does it look like I'm interested in your brother?"
Marron shook her head. "Pan calm down."
"Yes please.your attitude is stinking up the place. If you want to whine try somewhere else and with someone that cares." Bra sneered, her hands placed firmly on her hips.
Just one ki blast.one. Just one and it will all be over. Bra won't even feel a thing. Wait what the hell? Pan shook her head free of her thoughts, an ache forming in her heart from past wounds...and seeing him today didn't help much. Grabbing her bags she let herself out by ki blasting through the wall and flying off leaving Bra to stare at her retreating figure while Marron called after her.
