An: Hi! I'm back! Not that anybody cares. Sigh.
Chapter 4
Bra examined herself in the mirrior. She wore a whire gown trimmed with pale blue lace, part of her hair was braided around her head like a little crown.
"I like it." she nodded decidedly.
Pan glared at her back. She was dressed in a red kimono like dress, she was to accompany the princess to the dinner. She didn't want to go. She wanted to go curl up and cry somewhere or die.
Bra nodded again then turned away from the mirror. "Well let's be off then." She turned and glided out of the room. Grudgingly Pan followed. Bra led her down several long marble halls nodding graciously to people in the hallways who saluted her. "Now when we go in I'll sit down and you just stand behind my chair. It'll get boring but it's tradition. I won't stay there all that long." Bra promised cheerfully.
Pans breath caught when they entered the grand dining hall. It was huge, there were intricate paintings and carvings on the walls and almost everything was gilded with gold. At the center of the room was a huge table that stretched the length of the room, at the head was a hard angry looking man who Pan assumed was king Vegeta. TO his left was a tall Blue haired woman who must be Bra'a mother. Bra took an empty chair on the left side by her mother. Yasuo was next to her and then Manami. Across the table there was an empty chair on Vegetas right and next to that was Taro. Pan stood behind Bra's chair as she'd been told. Yasuo grinned at her and she gave him a nasty glare. He just grinned wider.
Then a Chickyuu servant walked in. "I am pleased to announce the arrival of Prince Trunks, concuerer on the Icejin." He bowed and stepped to the side.
A tall man with purple hair followed the servant in. When he walked in everyone clapped and cheered for him. Pan couldn't help staring at him, he was the cutest guy she'd ever seen in her life.
"What are you thinking?" She told herself angrily. "He's one of them! They all have to pay. They'll all suffer."
After prince Trunks had taken his spot to the right of Vegeta servants carrying huge trays of food came in and began setting it out on the table. Pans eyes widedned in shock.
"So it was her." she thought. "She's here."
The serving girl who was setting Bra's food at her place suddenly noticed her to. Her eyes wideded for a moment she froze. But then she hurried on with her work glancing back at Pan a couple times. The dinner did take quite a long time, Pan really wanted to sit down by the time it was over. Finally people began getting up to leave. Bra stood up as well.
"Come here a minute, I'll introduce you to my brother." Bra walked toward the prince. Reluctantly Pan followed. "Trunks, I'm glad to see you got back safe." she smiled giving him a hug.
"It's nice to see you to." he smiled.
"This is my new servant Pan. I got her from the slave shipment today. The royal children were trying to buy her before the auction for some reason." Bra expalined.
"Why would they be so eager to get her?" Trunks glanced at her. "They could easily buy out anyone. Except maybe us, and I don't see any special reason we'd try to outbid them on her."
"Anyway, Pan you may return to your quarters now. I'm going to talk to my brother for a while."
Pan nodded. "Thank you my lady." She said bitterly. She turned and left the dining room. She stalked down the halls angrily, hot tears filled her eyes.
"Pan is that really you?" a small voice whispered. Pan looked over at the kitchen. Hiding in the shadows was Marron, her long blonde hair pulled into two pigtails, wearing the royal servants uniform.
"Mar! It's so good to see you." Pan threw her arms around her old friend sobbing.
"What happened did you get shipped up as a slave to? How is everybody? Is Uub doing alright?" Tears filled Marrons eyes as well. "It's so good to see someone from home."
"Everyone was okay when I left. Uub misses you alot. I got shipped as a slave, I'm princess Bra's personal slave."
Marron slowly wiped her tears away. She glanced at her watch. "I'm not supposed to be out this late, I have to get to my quarters before I get caught. I'll talk to you the next chance I get I promise." She scampered off down the hall.
"Bye." Pan waved then began wandering the halls again trying to find her way back to Bra's rooms.
"A little lost are we?"
Pan whirled around to see who had spoken. Yasuo was lounging in the corner. Pan turned and started walking quickly down the hall.
"Where do you think you're going? I'm talkin to you here." Yasuo took several strides toward her. Pan broke into a rund down the hall, she could here him runing behind her. He laughed.
"Run all you want you won't get away."
Pan looked over her shoulder as she went around a corner, Yasuo was right behind her. Suddenly she smashed into something hard, she hit the ground hard. She stared in shock up at the clear blue eyes staring down at her. After a second she scrambled to her feet and clapped a fist to her heart.
"I'm sorry your highness, I was just..." she stuttered
"Yasuo, you wouldn't happen to he harrassing my sisters servant would you?" He looked at the other boy coldly.
Yasuo clapped his fist to his heart. "No not at all Prince Trunks, I thought she looked lost and I offered to take her back to her room but she ran away. I thought she might be up to something so I went after her." he said innocently.
"Take her back to her room and straight into her bed." Trunks murmered so Yasuo could not here. Pan was not sure she was meant to hear either.
"I'll show her back to her room. I'm sure you have other things to do." Trunks waved his hand dissmissivly.
"It's your first night back you'll need your rest, and you have many more tasks to see to than me..."
"That will do Yasuo." Trunks cut him off annoyed. "I was planing to visit my sister tonight anyway. You may go now."
Yasuo threw an acid glare in Pans direction before stomping off down the hall.
"This way." he said curtly before turning and walking down the hall.
Pan had to trot to keep up with him, she walked just a little behind him. She didn't feel comfortable at all. He just walked forward with an icy sureness, he no longer seemed to acknowldege the fact that she was there. Finally they arrived at Bra's appartments. Trunks knocked on the door.
"You may enter." Bra's voice chimed cheerfully from the other side.
Trunks pushed the door open and strode in. Pan slipped in after him.
"Oh there you are Pan, I was begining to worry thinking you got lost or something." Bra smiled.
"I did get lost, a little." Pan said skulkily.
Trunks raised his eyebrows at her.
"My lady." Pan quickly added.
He nodded. "Now you may go if Bra has no need of you at the moment. I need to talk to her alone."
Pan glanced at Bra who nodded. Pan clapped her fist to her heart before leaving for her adjoining room. She closed the door behind her but leaned against it to try and hear.
"Bra I really need to talk to you about your 'slave sales'. Sooner or later someone is going to find you out and that's not going to be good for us. I know you feel an obligation towards the Chikyuu slaves, I know how you feel I'm part Chikyuu to, but you can't keep doing it."
"How would you like it if you were taken from your home and sold off somewhere else? I'm just sending them home there's no crime in that." Bra's tome sounded angry.
"You may not see it as one but others do. You can't keep it up Bra. We're already unstable on our claim to the throne with the royal children around, besides that Yasuo is gaining even more support. One little slip up and as soon as dad goes we're out of here to." Trunks sounded equally as angry.
There was a long silence. Pan held her breath so as not to be heard listening at the door. Bra sent slaves back to Chikyuu? So there was hope left!
"I haven't been caught yet Trunks, and I'm pretty sure I won't get caught. But for your sake I'll stop. But please just let me send one more ship load out. My usual ship will be landing here in about a week. I'll send out my servant Pan and a couple more." Bra said decidedly.
Pans heart lept in excitement.
"That's another thing I wanted to talk about, your new servant." Trunks said. "There's something going on, she'd not plain Chikyuu Bra, she's either saiyajin or half and half. I was the saiyajinn alloy on her wrist when I ran into her in the hall. The twins and Manami are up to something."
There was a long silence.
"Maybe they are planning a revolt. They'd probably want her for a fighter or something, if she's strong." Bra said quietly.
"Bring her by the gravity room tomorrow. We'll see how she does." Trunks sighed. "I'm heading to bed now. See ya tomorrow then."
"Yeah, see ya." she answered softly.
Pan quickly stepped away from the door and sat on her bed. Bra opened the door a little and poked her head in.
"You may help me get ready for bed and then you can retire to your room for the rest of the night."
Pan got up off the bed to go help Bra. Her head was spinning. She was going to get home! But she also had to make sure that one of the other slaves that were freed was Marron. She wasn't going to leave her friend here.
