French tipped finger nails tapped against the polished surface of the desk, in the other hand was a pen quickly writing she signed the letter. Where is she? moaned Pan in her mind. Bra was late they were supposed to have left for lunch half an hour ago, of course Bra always forgot to keep an eye on the time when she was working. The problem was that Pan was pissed beyond belief, Capsule Corps. wanted to take them over and she was the only thing stopping it.
The door to Pan's office flung open and there in the doorway stood Bra, in either hand were shopping bags. 'Sorry I'm late. Do you have any idea, how many people were trying to screw me around? But I quickly straightened them out. I got you a dress for the function, I really didn't think that suit was all that nice' explained Bra, while Pan picked up her bag, took the shopping bags out of her best friend's hands (after a little bit of fighting, Bra didn't want to give them up).
A lot had changed in the five years since they had left Japan, Pan had become the boss of the biggest Law Firm in Europe, while Bra had become a fashion designer and part time model, although both of them were part time Tomb Raiders.
Walking out of Pan's office, her secretary Mrs. Lucius picked up the phone and pressed a number on speed dial when the girls walked past her and got onto the elevator. 'Yes, she's left the building' with that she put the phone down again.
'Hey is something wrong?' asked Bra, when Pan went paler than normal she knew Pan hadn't really been taking care of herself since she found out about Capsule Corp. wanting the merger, but she hadn't realised it was that bad. Holding her stomach Pan felt kind of quesy, back when she lived in Japan that always meant something bad was about to happen, and here it didn't just mean camera crews.
As the elevator doors opened, the girls looped arms and walked out into the blinding light of flashing cameras, reporters stuck their microphones in Pan's face while talking so fast it might as well be another language. Being escorted by the buildings security to their limo, when actually Pan's limo, they had to dodge reporters and people just wanting to see what all the fuss was about.
'What is their problem' moaned Pan, wriggling around trying to get comfortable, Bra just sighed and grabbed a soda.
'Calm down P. What's go you all stressed?' asked Bra, taking a lady-like sip, while her eyes were trained on Pan to see if she was lying.
'Oh...you know Bra' said Pan, hoping to get out of the interrogation, Bra just shook her head causing her red streaked hair to fly around. Running her fingers through her hair Pan tried to figure out how she was going to tell Bra. 'Trunksiscomingoverforameeting' rushed Pan.
'Pardon I didn't get that' whispered Bra, reapplying her make up.
'Geez, in how many words do I have to say it. TRUNKS IS COMING OVER FOR A MEETING, there did you understand' said Pan slowly, then she was sprayed with soda, that was after the words really sunk into Bra's head.
'HE's WHAT. Oh my god, this like isn't possible, this is just a bad dream come true, please tell me you're joking?' asked Bra hoarsely, she had just gotten over her guilt of leaving her parents she didn't need this.
'Bra do we look and act the same' whispered Pan in a depressed voice, if she hadn't been Sayain Bra wouldn't have been able to hear her.
This isn't happening its just a bad dream, in a moment I'll hear the beeping to my alarm clock and I'll wake up, thought Bra waiting a couple of milli seconds she sighed and banged her head against the floor of the limo.
'Is everything alright back there?' asked Cornelius, Pan's driver. 'I heard some banging back there'.
'Oh everything's fine, Cornelius. Lake just lost it for a moment' covered Pan, as much as she trusted Cornelius with her life, he was like a big brother to her, still she didn't trust him with this secret. 'Cornelius change of plans, can you take us to the little Chinese Restaurant on the corner of West Avenue and Elizabeth Drive'. Sighing Pan laid her out along the seat while Bra sat opposite her very pale, like she had been back at work.
'Just curious Pan, when does he arrive?' as the limo came to a stop.
'The day after next' replied Pan, reapplying her lipstick and smoothing out her skirt, doing the same as Pan, Bra just wondered if anyone else was arriving with him, like the almost if she was still single edible Goten. As the door opened Bra got out first then Pan. 'Thank you Cornelius, can you pick us up in an hour and a half?' asked Pan, he just nodded and closed the door.
'Excuse me' called a waiter rudely, when the girls walked straight in. 'Excuse me, didn't you hear me the first time, this place is full sorry but you'll have to go else where.'
'Yes I'm sorry, but unless you want me to publish that small article on the food poisoning scare, you might want to find me and my sister here a table' ordered Pan, she was used to playing dirty eg blackmail, to get what she wanted that's want happened in the East End. Giving the girls a dirty look the waiter hurried off to find them a table.
'I don't think I'll ever get used to you planing the Politicians game' said Bra, placing the napkin on her lap.
'Well you should sooner or later, this is the real world and you know nothing comes without a price' explained Pan.
'Yes, I do have to agree' interrupted a voice, staring down at them was Lex.
'Good afternoon Mr. Latino, and what may I ask are you doing here?' asked Pan, layering her accent on, just to annoy Lex.
'Come on Bree, you know me better than that' replied Lex with in a hurting mock tone. 'Lose the attitude problem, not like your going to actually hurt me'.
Yeah but I could kick your ass any day, thought Pan, she just hated the way he always showed her up, she was biding her time till she would give him permeant damage. 'Maybe you should go away before something bad really does happen' threatened Pan, giving him the underlying message, piss me off, you end up dead.
Moving away from Pan, Lex sat down next to Bra. 'You wouldn't let your insane sister try to kill me would you?' he pleaded melodramatically getting a laugh from both girls.
'Nice to see you too' greeted Bra smiling softly, as much as she didn't get along with Lex or agree on his morals, he really did do a good job on helping spirits in times like these.
'I heard, damn I didn't think you'd give up to your biggest rivals' said Lex, with that Pan leant over the table grabbing Lex by the front of his shirt she stuck her face in his.
'What the hell are you talking about?' Pan choked out, like saying those very words were about to kill her, letting him go she sat back down and smoothed her suit.
'Its all over the papers that you've agreed to go through with the merger' pulling the paper out of his bag and handed it to Pan, quickly reading the article she began breathing shallowly. 'See what I mean' Pan just nodded mutely.
'What's so wrong?' asked Bra not liking being left out of the conversation, handing her best friend the newspaper. 'HOLY SHIT, that little piece of...' stopping suddenly Bra looked around to see everyone in the restaurant staring at them.
'Lake calm down you're embarrassing us' moaned Pan, with her head in her hands. 'This is like a bad dream come true, just pinch me please'.
'Sorry Bree, I really do hope you kick his ass for this I really do' said Lex.
'Thanks' replied Pan weakly, picking up her menu, her mouth began to water no matter how she felt the moment she thought about food her instincts kicked in.
'Are you ready to order?' asked the waiter, looking at the menu over Bra's shoulder Lex was having trouble deciding on what to order.
'Yes, I'll have the prawn noodles, and the chicken and honey, thank you' said Pan, placing the menu elegantly down on the table.
'I'll have the vegetables and sweet and sour pork, and Lex will have the pecking duck and the soup. Thank you' as the waiter wrote down the order, the girls shared a look, Trunks was going to pay that they could promise.
