Chapter 2

            "So how was your date with Berek?" Trunks asked as he walked into the kitchen to see Pan sitting in the dinning room.

            "…"

            "…Pan?" Trunks asked as he walked into the dinning room to find Pan wearing her clothes from the date, her make-up smeared by tears, her eyes red and puffy and still sniffling from crying.

            "…I wouldn't know since I didn't have a date with him," Pan said as she thought back to what had happened.

            "You want to talk about it?" Trunks asked, putting a hand on her shoulder to comfort her.

            "No," Pan said as she got up and walked to her room.

            'Maybe I should call Bra to come over.  She'll know how to take things off of Pan's mind for a bit,' Trunks said as he walked to phone and dialed Bra's number.

            "Ms. Terry, could you come in here for a moment," Trunks said as he put some papers together in folder and waited for his secretary.

            "Yes, Mr. Briefs?" Terry asked as she walked in.

            'I wonder if…' Trunks thought as he looked up at his secretary and saw what he had seen in Pan when he found her there on the dinning room.

            "Ms. Terry, if you don't mind me asking…"

            "I found out that my boyfriend was cheating on me with another girl.  She found out too," Terry said as she looked away from Trunks.

            "I'm very sorry to hear that," Trunks said as his thoughts were confirmed.

            "You needed something, Mr. Briefs?" Terry asked as she looked back at Trunks.

            "Yes, why don't you go right ahead and take the day off, Ms. Terry," Trunks said as he looked at her and gave her a smile.

            "I couldn't…"

            "Don't worry about it.  Besides, its been a long week and we all need the vacation," Trunks said as he started to pack up his things too.

            "…Thank you, Mr. Briefs," Terry said as she walked out of the office.

            'I wonder if Bra was able to cheer up Pan,' Trunks thought as he walked out of his office and told all his employees to go home and enjoy the weekend.

            "Come on, Pan, you've got to cheer yourself up," Bra said as they sat in a small coffee shop.

            "I know, but it still hurts," Pan said as she gave a small smile to Bra.

            "Either you start to cheer up or I'll get my brother and Goten in here to," Bra said as she saw Pan's eyes widen a bit at the thought of her uncle and Trunks trying to cheer her up.

            "Alright, Bra.  Its just that…"

            "Hi guys," said a voice from beside them.

            "Hi Goten," Bra said as she smiled at him.

            "Pan, are you okay?" Goten asked as he looked at his niece.

            "I'm fine, Goten.  Don't worry about me," Pan said as she looked up at him.

            "If you say so," Goten said as he sat down next to Bra.

            "Hey Goten, don't you have a date with Paris right now?" Pan asked as she looked at her uncle in confusion.

            "…We broke up," Goten said as he stared out the window.

            "I'm sorry, Goten.  When?" Bra asked as she put a hand on his shoulder.

            "Yesterday," Goten said as he looked back and smiled at the girls.

            "You don't seem so down about this," Pan said as she smirked at him.

            "I realized that we weren't working out as she did as well.  So we're okay about it," Goten said as he looked back at his watch and stood up.

            "Now where are you going?" Bra asked as she looked up at him.

            "Why?  Jealous that I don't spend enough time with you?" Goten asked as he leaned down a bit and smirked.

            "Why would I be jealous when I've got better things to do than to hang out with you," Bra said as she smirked back at him.

            "Because you can't stand being without me," Goten said as he leaned forward more and gave a small kiss on her cheek and left.

            "Mind telling me what that was all about?" Pan asked as she smirked at her friend.

            "I…I don't know what it is that you're talking about, Pan," Bra said as she smiled faintly and looked back at Pan.

            "Bra…do you like my uncle?" Pan asked, looking at her friend seriously.

            "I don't know, Pan.  I think he's cute, sweet, and gentle, but I don't know though if I do," Bra answered truthfully, starring back at her.

            "It won't bother me, Bra.  I'll be happy for the both of you," Pan answered as she smiled and then smirked.

            "I don't like that smirk of yours, Pan, but thanks," Bra said as she smiled back.

            "Besides, its fun to watch you two bicker with one another," Pan said as she still wore her smirk.

            "Yup, just as its fun to see you bicker with my brother," Bra said as her smiled turned into a smirk.

            "Give me a break, Bra.  Me and your brother?" Pan asked as she looked at her in disbelief.

            "I don't know, Pan.  You've both been bickering a lot more lately…could be a sign," Bra said as she barely dodged a handful of fries that were thrown at her.

            "Trunks, what do you think of…"

            "Goten, I thought we already went over this," Trunks said as he looked up from his computer and looked at his friend.

            "How is that you even know…"

            "Because we've known each other since we were kids and I've known that you've had a crush on her for sometime," Trunks said as he smirked at his friend's facial expression.

            "Whatever," Goten said as he looked back at him.

            "I seriously wouldn't mind it, Goten.  I know you and how you are and I know her, too.  But I'm telling you, if you ever hurt her, I'm coming after you," Trunks said as he smirked at his friend again.

            "Thanks for the comforting word, Trunks," Goten said as he glared at him.

            "Anytime, Goten," Trunks said as the both of them laughed.
