"Capsule Corporation, President Trunks speaking."
"Hi Trunks, it's me Marron. My father said you called before, what'd you want to talk about?" Marron glanced over at Bra and Pan. Bra was giving her a thumbs up' and Pan was looking away.
"Oh yeah, well, can you meet me later tonight? At the After-life?"
"After-life? What's that?"
"It's a new theme restaurant, it's pretty cool. The downstairs is all red, and they serve a lot of spicy food, then there's a bar on the first floor, and the second floor is all white and pale blue. They have a salad bar, ice cream stand and all the sushi you could imagine up there. It's a really nice place."
"Okay! When should I meet you?"
"Sometime around eight. Hey umm could you bring Pan with you? I know it's kinda strange but there's something I need to say to her and she won't return any of my calls."
"Pan? Yeah, okay. Eight o'clock. Bye." Marron frowned as she hung up the phone. "Pan? He want's me to take you too"
```````````````
"IT"S MINE!"
"NO WAY, I SAW IT FIRST!"
"UH-UH! I HAD IT PICKED OUT"
"THAT"S NO FAIR! I GRABBED IT! BEFORE BRA SAID ANYTHING! SO I GET TO WEAR IT!"
Pan and Marron were both in Bra's walk-in closet, arguing over one of her better dresses. "Why do you care Pan? It's not like you like him or anything. Besides he just wanted to tell you something, it's my date."
"Like hell it is! Gimme that dress!" The two pulled on the outfit till they heard a loud rip and it fell into two pieces. "Great." Bra muttered. "Now neither of you can have the dress." Marron and Pan argued over who's fault it was as Bra pushed them from the closet. She emerged a few minutes later holding two outfits. She threw one to Pan, and the other to Marron. "This is what you're wearing, no changing after this, and no arguing or my brother won't choose either of you." Both girls scowled and walked to separate bathrooms to change.

Pan flew through the air towards the restaurant. Bra and Marron drove not far behind her. They arrived at the restaurant and went inside.
"Hey, glad you guys made it. Thanks for driving Marron over Bra."
"No problem Oni-chan. I gotta go. Have fun you three!" Boy that was weird to say Bra thought as she left.
"So" Pan began. "What are we doing here."
"Don't be so rude." Marron said smugly. She smiled sweetly at Trunks. "Come this way." He said. They followed him towards the bar. He stopped to talk to two guys sitting there. After a minute or two he turned around.
"Marron, Pan, this is Huni and Poata. They wanted to know if you'd be interested in dinner with them." Marron and Pan's jaws dropped. 'So Trunks didn't want to go out with either of us. It figures.'
"Is something wrong? You're gonna catch a fly if you leave your mouths open like that."
Pan scowled, closing her mouth. "I'm sorry Trunks, but I lost my appetite. I should probably just go home." She turned and left the restaurant, Trunks ran after her.
"Pan? Is something wrong? You're not still upset about before, I mean it's okay. Why ever you did it, it's over so don't worry."
"T- that's not it. I just, well you know me. I'm not really into this whole blind date thing, especially when I'm not expecting it."
"That's what I said, but Huni wouldn't listen. I told him to go with Marron but then he called back and said his friend needed a date and convinced me to call you. Sorry."
"I understand, and I'm sorry about what happened before." Trunks nodded and walked back to the restaurant, waving.
'So that's what he was talking about on the phone! He doesn't hate me, and he doesn't like Marron. But now what?'
```````````````
"Bra!" Pan caught up to Bra in the air. "I need your help!" They flew to Pan's house and ran to her room.
"So he really wasn't asking Marron out?"
"No! He was setting her up with someone else!" Pan said excitedly.
"You really like him, don't you?" Pan began blushing and looked away, but quickly turned back happily, nodding. "But why did he ask for you to come then?" Bra asked.
"His friends friend needed a date too, but he said he really didn't want me to come. He said he was telling them not to and that he never wanted to ask me at all! He didn't want me to go out with him!"
"Jeez, calm down girl." Bra began laughing at Pan who seemed ready to bounce through the ceiling. "Do you even have a real chance with him? I mean he's fourteen years older than you, how do you know he'd be interested?"
"Age won't matter! We've been really good friends, even though I'm a lot younger, there's no difference in this. I'm sure it'll be okay!"
"If you say so, so what do you want me to do?"
"Just help me get him Bra! Please!"
"Fine, but if Marron wants help too I can't turn her down okay?" Pan nodded and Bra began to relay her plans to her.

This chapter is a bit more sane than the others, I just hope I can keep it that way.
About the restaurant, it was actually my friends idea. If you can't tell the bottom is supposed to be like hell(or HFIL) and the second floor is like heaven. In between the two on the first floor is limbo. Here's to hoping she gets to open that restaurant one day! ^_^
