Bra sighed as she picked up the phone and dialed Pan's number.

"Hello! This is Pan-chan!"

"Hey Pan! Listen, I gotta tell you something! Can I go to your house?"

"Sure!"

"Thanks! I'll be right there! Bye!"

"Bye!"

Bra went up to her window and slid it open. To make her clothes more comfortable for fighting, she had abandoned her mini-skirt, but to keep her style, she wore right spaghetti straps. She floated out of her window and took of at full speed toward Pan's. The cool air whipped her face as she slowly left the city. She arrived in 10 minutes.

Pan jumped out of her window and ran up to her.

"Hey Bra! How'd you get here so fast! And." she said spotting her clothes, "What happened to your usual outfit?"

"That's what I want to talk to you about!"

".your outfit?"

"No! About. this." Bra replied. She gathered her energy and put it up as high as she could. She knew Pan had felt it. Pan's eyes widened.

'How the heck did she get so strong?"

"How the heck did you get so strong!?" Pan said out loud.

"I.trained." Bra replied.

"How long?"

"About four months."

"Four months!? My god! You're almost as strong as me and I've trained all my life! What made you turn around, anyway?"

"Well, see, I was tired of being the only Sayia-jin that doesn't fight, and I was sick of Trunks saying I was just a little whimp!"

"Whoa! You're doing a good job! Hey? You want to spar?"

"Yeah, that's what I wanted to ask you. I want to prove to everyone, especially Trunks, that I can beat them, but I'm afraid that I don't have a lot of actual fighting experience, so I though maybe we could spar!"

"Sure! Let's go!"

Pan said and they took off into a clearing.

"Alright ready?" Pan asked.

"Yeah!"

Pan took off in Bra's direction aiming a punch at her, but Bra dodged and got Pan instead.

The battle went on for a long time. Pretty soon they were up in the air and their punches got faster as finally Bra decided to take it to the next level. She gathered her energy into her hand and formed an energy ball. She fired it at Pan. This took Pan by surprise and she barely dodged it.

The battle went on all day, until the Sun was about to disappear behind the mountains. Pan and Bra were both bloodied up by then and Pan said:

"You better not run into your dad like that. If he finds out you got that by sparring with me he'll kill me!"

"Okay! I won't, but I'll get going now anyway!" Bra said and waved Pan goodbye.

Bra's journal:

August 2, 2000

Training is going well! I'm training with Pan all the time and by myself too, and my family STILL has no idea.

One day in November Bra was training by herself on a small area in the woods. It was around midnight, but Bra wouldn't go back. Lately she was so determined to show everyone that she was just as strong as them, if not more so.

She was knocking down trees and rocks all around. Suddenly she hit something hard with her hand and realized that it was a side of a mountain. She glanced at her arm and saw that it had split open. It didn't hurt, she was used to injuries worse than that by now, but the sight gave her a flashback

-_Flashback_-

Nine-year-old Bra was playing in the yard. Suddenly her arm hit a hard and sharp rock, she looked down and saw that it was split open. She wailed and screamed for Trunks, her mom and her dad.

Trunks came hurrying toward her. He had taken her into the house and fixed her arm. Then said:

"You know, you wouldn't have needed that if you were a fighter!"

Right to her face he had said it.

-_End of Flashback_-

"NOOO! No more!" Bra screamed. She hated it. It was her pride. Her SAYIA- JIN pride! She wouldn't let anybody break it.

"NOOOO!" She screamed. Suddenly she felt a ripple of strength explode inside her. It was like it had been there all along, ready to burst. It was the sweetest feeling as the power seeped through her body and a gold aura surrounded her. Her hair spiked up and turned gold. She felt the strength all around her, inside her and everywhere around. The earth began to shake as her eyes turned green. She fell onto her knees and began breathing heavily.

As she looked up she saw a gold strand of hair fall into her eyes. She stared at it for a moment. Slowly taking in what this must mean.

Miles away, Pan awoke when she felt the great power that had just appeared out if nowhere.

Pan smiled.

"Good job Bra! I'm proud of you!"
