Chapter 8 –"Early as usual, bro," Bra said as she and Pan walked towards Trunks' car to find Goten in it as well.
"Of course," Trunks said as he looked at the both of them and smiled.
"I see your girlfriends aren't here," Pan said as she looked at the guys.
"Pan…"
"I know, I know," Pan said as she got in after Bra.
"So how was school?" Goten asked, looking at the both of them in mirror.
"…Fine," Bra said as she smiled sadly and looked out the window.
'Bra?' Goten asked as he looked at her from the mirror.
Bra jumped a bit and looked at Goten, eyes wide and scared. Pan looked beside her and saw Bra's face only to see that Goten was looking at her from the mirror. Trunks noticed the silence and his sister nervousness and looked up to see what was going on.
"No…Goten," Bra said as she turned her head and looked out the window.
Pan looked at the both of them and sighed as she looked out the window as well.
'I can't believe its already been a week,' Pan thought as she stared at her hands. When she looked up, she stared at Trunks' face, trying to figure out why he did what he did.
(* Flashback *)
Pan was about to answer him but found it hard when Trunks' lips came down to hers. She was shocked to say the least, but slowly returned the kiss only to have Trunks deepen it when she sighed.
'Trunks…'
'What?' Trunks asked through his mind, figuring out why they could read each other's thoughts.
'…we have to stop,' Pan thought as she felt his lips leave hers and go down to her neck.
'Why?' Trunks asked as he moved back up to her lips.
'…Because…I can't do this to Marron…and I know that you don't love me…so please, just stop,' Pan said as she chocked back a sob.
Trunks pulled away after what she said and felt her start to sob. He pulled her in to him and held her there against him, wondering why he did what he did.
"…Pan…I-I do…"
"I need to get home now, Trunks," Pan said as she pulled away from him and took off.
"…I do love you…not Marron," Trunks said as he floated there, not moving until he couldn't see her anymore.
(* End of Flashback *)
Pan felt a tear roll down her cheek and quickly swapped it away before anyone else saw. When she felt someone's eyes on her, she looked up and noticed that Trunks was starring at her, as if he knew what she was thinking. She glared at him and turned away, glaring out the window.
'Why did she think of that? Its already been a week though since it happened and she hasn't shown anything to me nor has she talked to me about it or Bra,' Trunks thought as he saw her replay what happened just a few days ago. 'I need to talk to her and soon,' Trunks thought as he looked forwards and thought about what he was going to tell her.
They pulled into C.C. and walked in to find the whole gang there. Before anyone could say anything, Marron and Paris sprung up from their seats and ran into Trunks and Goten. Both Pan and Bra looked at one another and quickly ran up the stairs, not even saying a word to their parents and friends.
"Trunks, what's wrong with your sister?" Bulma asked as she waited for Marron to pull away from him.
"Goten, what's wrong with Pan?" Gohan asked as he looked annoyed when Paris pulled back, but still hanged on to him.
"We don't know," the both said at the same time to only receive glares from the group.
"Well you both better find out then misters!" Bulma yelled as she stood up and walked towards Bra's room.
"Vegeta, do you think you could let Pan stay here with you for awhile?" Gohan asked as he looked from the boys to Vegeta.
"…"
"Me and Videl got called to go do some business overseas and we won't be back for awhile and we don't want Pan to be at home alone," Gohan said as he still looked at Vegeta.
"…"
"Thanks Vegeta. She should have her stuff with her and we'll be leaving right now," Gohan said as he stood up and walked up the stairs to tell Pan.
'Maybe now things will get a bit interesting,' Vegeta thought as he smirked at Trunks and Goten, who were not paying attention to their girlfriends at the moment.
"You can't leave me here, dad!" Pan yelled as she followed him down the stairs.
"Pan, we've discussed this with you and you agreed," Gohan said as he waited for his daughter to catch up.
"But that was at least two months ago! I've changed my mind," Pan said as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"I'm sorry, Pan, but you can't go on this one. I know we've let you come along with us, but I think you need to stay here," Gohan said as he looked at his daughter.
"Don't worry, Pan," Bulma said as she walked up to them.
"…Alright. Bye dad and be careful," Pan said as she gave in and gave her father a hug.
'Don't worry, Pan. Everything will turn out all right in the end,' Gohan thought as he turned around and left, hoping that he was doing right.
"Bye honey," Marron said as she gave one last long kiss to Trunks.
"Bye sweetie," Paris said as she also gave one last kiss to Goten.
"Bye," Trunks and Goten said as the girls walked up to the car.
"You don't think they'll try anything, do you?" Paris asked, worried.
"I doubt it. Besides, the girls know not to mess with us and Trunks and Goten wouldn't fall for little girls," Marron said as she smiled to herself.
"Yeah, I know, but have you seen the way how the guys have been out of it and how they act when the girls are around?" Paris asked.
"Don't worry about it," Marron said as she looked at her friend.
"I know, but…"
"Don't worry about it," Marron repeated as they sped off.
'They better not try anything,' Marron thought as she thought of what Paris had said about the guys.
"This is great that you get to stay over!" Bra said as Pan told her.
"Yeah, but I didn't' really want to put up with your brother," Pan said as they walked into the kitchen to get a midnight snack.
"Don't let him bother you, Pan," Bra said as she smiled at her friend.
"I know, but…"
"My gosh, Pan! You're going to eat all that?" Bra said as she saw Pan get out a big bowl and filled it to the top with fruit loops.
"I am a growing saiyan you know," Pan said as she laughed softly.
"Well, I'm going to bed now. You're room is right across from mine…but right next to Trunks'," Bra said as she smiled sadly.
"Why couldn't I have the room next to yours?" Pan asked, a little mad about the arrangements.
"…Goten," Bra said as she sighed and said goodnight as she walked up the stairs.
'Just great, with Goten being here the girlfriends are more than likely going to show up here,' Pan thought as she started to eat.
"What are you doing here?" said a voice from behind her.
"Eating. What do you want?" Pan asked as she turned to glare at Trunks.
"Looking for something to eat," Trunks said as he saw the bowl of cereal and stared at her.
"Get your own, boxer-boy," Pan said as she turned around and continued to eat.
"What did you call me?" Trunks asked as he walked towards her.
"Boxer-boy," Pan said as she felt him behind her, but refused to turn around.
"Just making sure, Panny," Trunks said as he waited for her to turn around.
"…What do you want, Trunks?" Pan asked as she slowly turned around, trying to push away some of her anger.
'That bowl you've got there seems pretty good,' Trunks said through the bond, even though he was staring at her while he said it.
"Would you stop doing that!" Pan yelled as she stood up, glaring at him.
'Why?' Trunks asked, smirking.
"Because, you have no right to," Pan said as she pulled her fist back to punch him, but was caught by Trunks' hand.
Pan brought back her other hand to hit him, but he beat her to it and grabbed her other fist, making Trunks wrap his arms around her when he pulled her arms down to her sides. Pan was about to kick to him, but found that when she did, Trunks' legs were up against hers and she was somehow pushed back into the counter, struggling to get out of his embrace.
"Why are you doing this?" Pan asked quietly, giving up, but not looking at him.
'Pan, look at me,' Trunks said through their bond, hoping that she would look up.
As soon as Pan brought her face up to his, Trunks' lips came crashing down on hers and the only thing Pan could do was think that she was going to be in trouble for it soon.
'I am so going to bed right now,' Bra thought as she pulled back her covers on the bed and climbed in, only to have a feeling that someone was in her room.
"Whose there?" Bra said as she sat up and scanned the room.
"I'm starting to wish that you weren't trained to do that," came a voice from beside her.
"What are you doing in here, Goten? Your room is the one next to mine," Bra said as she lied back down again, only to have Goten get up and sit down next to her.
"What did I do wrong?" Goten asked as he looked at her.
"…"
"Bra, please tell me," Goten said as he sighed when Bra didn't answer him.
"…Have you told Paris?" Bra asked, still not facing him.
"…No," Goten said as he looked down, remembering what happened when he went to talk to her the first time.
(* Flashback *)
"…What does this mean, Goten?" Bra asked when they pulled apart, breathing a bit heavy.
"I-I don't k-know, Bra," Goten said as he looked down at her again and kissed her.
The first time was an accident, but when she gasped from shocked, something overcame Goten and he deepened the kiss while he pulled her closer to him till breathing was needed once again. But now, Goten was kissing her more passionately than before and she was returning the kiss by bringing her arms around his neck, trying to bring him closer to her.
'How can you do this to me?" Bra asked through her mind, knowing that Goten would hear her, but she had yet to figure out why.
"Bra," Goten said as he pulled back. "I-I…"
"What, Goten?" Bra asked as she pulled away from him so she could see his face better.
"I don't…love Paris…anymore," Goten said as he looked into her eyes. "I…I love…you, Bra," Goten said as he bent down and kissed her again, but Bra pushed him away.
"Goten, you can't do this to Paris! I won't let you! You might love me…b-but I don't love you, Goten!" Bra said as she turned and ran out of her room.
'Bra…' Goten thought as he stayed in the room, thinking about what had just happened.
(* End of Flashback *)
"Goten, you can't do this. There is no way that you could love me," Bra said, still not facing him.
"Give me one good reason then, Bra, as to why I can't love you," Goten said as he waited, patiently.
"B-because, you just can't. I already told you that I don't love you and Paris loves you more than I do," Bra said as Goten had somehow managed to pick her up and was now facing him.
"Then why did you kiss me back?" Goten asked as he forced her to look at him.
"…"
"Bra…"
"Please, Goten…stop," Bra said as she looked away from him.
Goten pulled her face back to him and slowly kissed her as he held her in place when he felt her try to move away from him.
"Bra…I love you and only you," Goten said as he pulled away.
"…How can you?" Bra asked as she looked up at him, not afraid of what she was going to see.
"Because I've realized so many things in just these few weeks when I'm with Paris that I've never realized since our three years of being together. I love you for who you are and I know that you love me, so you can't deny it," Goten said as he smirked at her.
"I still don't know…"
"Bra, please…just follow your heart as I'm following mine right now. You're my soul mate, my life…and I regret not knowing this sooner, but I promise to make up for it. I'll talk to Paris and I'll even talk to Vegeta and Bulma…even though I think Bulma won't mind," Goten said as he smiled down at her.
Bra sat there in his lap, actually pondering over what he told her. She knew that she loved him just as much if not more than he loved her, but she wasn't so sure about this.
"So where would that put us?" Bra asked as she finally looked up at him.
"Depends on where you want us to be put," Goten said as he brought her closer to him while he got comfortable on the bed.
"Goten…why just now?" Bra asked, still curious.
"…Because, even though we didn't realize it yet, we've already mentally bonded. I'm not suppose to tell you this, but so have Trunks and Pan. Trunks and I were really debating on what we were suppose to do, but we decided to tell you guys and see what would have happened. Of course, knowing Trunks and Pan, he might have a problem with her," Goten said as he laughed a bit at the sight.
"I see what you mean," Bra said as she laughed as well.
"I love you, Bra," Goten said as he kissed the top of forehead.
"I love you too, Goten," Bra said as she snuggled in his embrace, glad to know that she had never lost him in the first place.
