Competition Chapter 2

*by Panny*

Bra flew towards her house, but stopped and turned back, feeling bad for Marron. 'Maybe I should just go back. She didn't really do anything wrong. I can't expect her to be willing to take the blame, even if she was part of it, I can't blame her. I didn't want Pan mad at me either.' A moment later her anger returned and she stopped, unsure of where to go.

Pan headed to her house still angry. She stopped about halfway there and changed direction. She flew up to Capsule Corporation and walked inside.

"Trunks!" she flung his bedroom door open, but found it empty. She sighed and dropped onto his bed, glancing at him clock. "4:12 a.m. I need to get some sleep." She stood up and began to look through the building for the person she had come to see.

"Where do you think you're going?" Pan jumped at the sound of Vegeta's voice. She turned to face him, her anger showing on her face. He smirked when he saw her.

"What's it to you?" she spat, not wanting to deal with him. "Nothing." He said coldly, but he continued to stare at her. "Do you want something?" She asked, more kindly. "Nope." came the answer.

"Then why are you just staring at me like that?"

"I have my reasons." Vegeta turned and began to walk away before calling back. "He's training." She stared at him momentarily, then remembered what she had come to do.

Eventually she he found Trunks training in the gravity room.

"Pan? What are you doing here?"

"Well, I came to apologize. I realized what a stupid thing I did, and I just wanted to let you know."

"Oh that?" he smiled slyly. "To tell the truth, I really didn't mind." He began to move closer to Pan, as her brow wrinkled in confusion. "Don't look like that Pan-chan." He whispered. "We both know why you really came, so stop playing games."

"What are you talking about!" Pan shrieked, jumping away. "I just came to apologize, that's it! Leave me the fuck alone you pervert!"

Trunks swallowed hard, as he gasped in shock. "Oh my god! I'm sorry! I- I thought this was another joke, and that Bra and Marron were like outside the door or something. I'm so sorry!" Pan stayed in the position she had taken near the ceiling, looking down at him questioningly. "I'm serious Pan. I'm sorry." He flew up but Pan began to lower herself to the ground.

"I should probably go home. Bye." Pan backed out of the room, then ran down the hall to go home. Trunks stared at the doorway and sighed. "Dammit. Why do I always get these things wrong?"

Before he could answer his own question, Vegeta entered the gravity room. Trunks immediately jumped back, ready to fight, but Vegeta just stood, staring at his son.

"What?" Trunks asked, still anticipating his fathers attack, but Vegeta continued to do nothing but stare.

"I-" Vegeta raised his hand, signaling him to stop. "You really are foolish boy." That said, he left his son in confusion.

Pan flew through the air, her whole body shaking.

' What just happened? Why did I even go there? I should have waited till tommorow. I'm not surprised he thought it was another joke, I came too early. I hope he doesn't think I'm mad. I didn't mind really What am I thinking! This is Trunks, one of my best friends. Am I willing to risk that friendship on something I'm not even sure of? He's so much older and nicer and perfect and he'd never like someone like me'

"I'm home!"

When Bra entered, she was immediately confronted by Trunks. "Hey, Bra-chan. What's wrong with Pan?" Bra jumped at her brothers question. "You mean, before. Well umm it was just a dare. I'm sorry we got you involved like that."

"No, not that. She came by real early this morning, I was just wondering why she left Marron's so early."

"Oh that. Well we all kinda got into a fight, then me an' Pan left, but I felt bad so I ended up going back till it was a little later. I thought Pan went home when she left though."

"Yeah, she said she just wanted to apologize. I think I freaked her out when she was here. I thought it was another one of your games. You should call her later."

"Okay, I will." Bra nodded at her brother and turned to leave the room. "Oh, Bra. How's Marron? Did you two make up?" Bra nodded at him again. "That's good. Wouldn't want her birthday ruined because of a little argument. Well I gotta go to work. Take care Bra."

"Bye Oni-chan!" Bra waved at her brother who was stepping into one of his newer cars. She quietly shut the door and walked to the phone.

'So, he's worried about Pan and Marron. This could be interesting. It might be a little ugly too but, it'll be worth it.'

Bra quickly dialed Marron's number.

"Hi Marron? It's me Bra. I'm sorry too. Anyway, I wanted to invite you to come over later. Sometime around six, okay? Uh-huh. Alright, see you there. Bye." Bra hung up the phone and her conversation was repeated with Pan, who agreed to come as well. Now all Bra had to do was make sure her brother would be home.

"Daddy?" Bra knocked on the door or the gravity room where Vegeta was training. After a few seconds she heard the machine powering down, and Vegeta emerged, wearing a towel around his neck. "What is it?"

"Well, I heard Trunks on the phone with Goten before, and he said he doesn't care about being a Saiyan, and that he's not gonna fight anymore. He said it's pointless, and that training is too. I just thought you might want to know that Daddy."

Bra smiled sweetly at him. Vegeta nodded, and walked down the hall, then out the door. A few minutes later, she saw her father dragging Trunks home, where he dropped him in the yard and began to fight him. Bra quickly glanced at her watch. 5:55.

Great, they'll be here soon, then I can just get them alone with Trunks and see where it goes from there. Bra smiled as she saw two figures approaching the building.
