"I came..for your help."
A long silence hung in the room and everyone was staring at me. I frowned, becoming increasingly annoyed by the second. What did they possibly want from me? Couldn't I just be left alone? But no that would be too easy and Bura has to suffer some more- let's not let her be happy on the day she accepts her lover's proposal. That would be against the rules.
"What?" I almost snarled. "You want me to destroy the moon for you or something? I'm sorry, but I think you should ask Piccolo for that one. Or is it that you wanted some advice on making your night life just a bit more fun-?"
"Bura," Goten broke through my tirade, pulling me closer to him. "Please just listen to what she has to say- it's not what you're thinking."
"But I really don't care what happened," I said, glaring at the girl, but talking to Goten. "My father basically told me to fuck off and that's what I am TRYING to do. It's kind of impossible though, since both of you won't shut up and leave me alone!"
"Bura," Goten whispered soothingly into my ear. "Just listen for a bit- it won't hurt anything. And then later I'll take you anywhere you want to go- I just got a raise so we have to celebrate anyway."
I paused for a moment, considering, and then slowly sunk back into his grip, my head resting on his shoulder, my eyes staring at the girl in front of me like she did not matter. She straightened slightly and then slumped back, her face suddenly completely drained.
"It happened a week ago," She looked down at her lap. "I remember seeing the full moon before I went to bed and thinking nothing about it, but the next thing I knew there was someone else there..I can't really explain what happened, but it did. We slept together and..the next day I realized it was Vegeta."
I raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything. Her story was already absurd- granted she might not have seen him, but obviously she could read his ki signature.
"I..I'm not going to defend myself," Pan smiled weakly. "I don't know why I did it- I wasn't thinking and neither was he. But he bonded with me..that night."
"So you're saying that you let a complete stranger bond with you?" Bura raised an eyebrow.
"What?! No!" Pan said vehemently. "I'm saying that I didn't even know I was bonding! And I swear it has something to do with the moon!"
"Sure," I said sarcastically. This was seriously the stupidest story I've ever heard, but Goten rested his hand on my shoulder so I knew he wanted me to hear more. I don't know why I did as he silently asked.
"Vegeta never told you any stories about mating so you wouldn't understand," Pan shook her head softly.
"But he told you?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Bura please- I can't explain it..I don't really want to," She said finally. "It's just..something that you have to experience for yourself. One of the things Goten has refrained from doing- waiting until the wedding night I suppose."
I looked up at Goten then and he was staring down at me solemnly. "Your father told us stories when we were younger about bonding- he wouldn't tell you," He said softly. "It's too..well it's just not intended for a child to hear- and I don't think he ever expected you to marry a Saiyan, so he never bothered."
I didn't say anything to this, but my resentment grew. It was typical of my father to leave me out, but it still hurt that they knew and I didn't and obviously neither would go into details. So I simply remained silent, waiting for all this to end.
"Well..you see I'm pregnant," Pan looked at the ground, and I merely rolled her eyes. What did she really expect? Of course she would end up pregnant- it was so obvious in this type of situation. "Vegeta, of course, knew this and the next day when I found out it was him, and he immediately brought me to Capsule Corps to see. Bulma confirmed it and Vegeta told her right there about the night before."
She was still looking at the ground and I looked away, out the window. But I still listened when she continued. "She was..upset and didn't really believe it at first, and Vegeta..he acted like it was nothing. Like it was to be expected."
I felt Goten's arms tightening around me and winced slightly at the undue pressure, but it didn't matter. I could take it. I waited for her to continue.
"I don't know what's wrong with him," She said helplessly. "But he's treating both of us as if we're merely there for his pleasure. And you know how Bulma is..she won't take it and he won't take it either."
"What..do you mean?" I asked quietly. "He didn't hurt her?"
"No- just locked her up," Pan said. "Bulma..and I have learned to ignore him unless he wants something in particular. He's letting me leave so that my dad and mom won't think anything of it. I think he's a bit afraid of my dad for some reason though I'm not sure why. Dad hasn't fought in years and he can turn Super Saiyan 4."
Her story was bizarre and completely unrealistic, but somehow I found myself believing it anyway. "So..what did you want from me?" I asked, with a disdainful frown.
"I need to leave- for my baby's sake," Pan rested a hand on her stomach. "And for your mother's. Goten has been telling me about the Jupiter Project for a while now. Can you help me get tickets so that I can go?"
I stared at her and then at Goten for a moment. The Jupiter Project was supposed to be top secret: only the chosen civilians whom had been carefully weeded out through various programs and everyone working on the Project were supposed to know of it. Goten, whom had somehow managed to gain a job as a mechanic/field tester on his own, must have told her about it though he wasn't really allowed to. But that was the least of my worries at the moment.
"You're pregnant," I said flatly.
"I know- that's why I need your help," Pan explained.
I sighed, "I'll try. For my mother's sake."
She smiled tentatively, "Thank you."
