DESTINY Of THE COUPLES 11

* Pan's B-day*

Pan and Bra had been talking to each other the past month. Though Pan wouldn't stay over night over there, Bra would come over. Trunks, meanwhile, felt horrible and knew that even though he apologized, Pan would still be mad. He shuddered at the thought of Pan getting back her scences and giving him the biggest ass-whooping he had ever had.

"Hey Bra." Pan hugged her friend as she came in the house. Pan was having her birthday at her house. She was about to shut the door when Trunks appeared. "What do you want?"

"I'm....uh.....here for your birthday." Trunks said akwardly. Bra, realizing the situation, came over and explained to Pan.

"He's here to apologize." Bra told.

"He's apologizing two months later?!" Pan snapped.

"It was going to be a birthday present?" Bra said, unsure.

"Please Pan, let me get a word in edgewise. I have felt really bad for what I did to you, I'm sorry. And as a token of how sorry I am, I have decided to give you back the pictures." Trunks gulped.

Pan looked at the pictures. Deciding on what to do. *No, revenge isn't the same when they agree to be humiliated.* Pan thought. So she didn't take the pictures. Bra and Trunks looked at her questioningly.

"I'm not going to take these. Keep the pictures and keep your sorry ass. What you did was unforgivable. God, you didn't need to reach down my shirt! What the hell were you thinking?!" Pan yelled. Bra kept silent, Trunks lowered his head and looked at the ground, unsure of what to say. He had already apologized, was what he did really that bad? He got angry, he had given her his apology and was willing to give back the pictures freely. She doesn't accept them, fine. He tried, and he can't say he didn't.

"Pan, you are a selfish bitch! You can't accept my apologie or the pictures because of your stubborn pride! I said sorry!" Trunks screamed at her. Pan's mouth shot open and closed, now she didn't know what to say. Trunks stared at her, waiting for her to say something. After a moment, he figured she wasn't going to say anything and decided to leave.

"You are such a hypocrite! I'm selfish? I'm stubborn with a god damn huge pride?! Look at yourself! You're the stubborn one! Oh ya, and reaching down my shirt to get those pictures wasn't stubborn!" Pan argued. Trunks turned around, with a glare.

"Atleast I would accept an apologie!" and he flew back home.

"STUPID JERK!" Pan yelled at the sky.

"Come on, lets go inside." said Bra.

"He wouldn't accept an apologie if he was in my situation." said Pan.

Bra didn't say anything, though she dissagreed with Pan. Why not accept the apology? After cake and presents,(Bra gave her spar clothes and a kewl red tank top with the words; Touch me and you DIE!' in sparkly black letters. Familiar, ne?) Well anyway, Bra was just on her way home when a thought came to her. If Pan didn't accept Trunks apology, never again will she be wanting to spend the night or come over any more.

"I've got to fix this." Bra said to herself and went back in the house. "Pan?"

"What?" said Pan, sitting on the couch. Bra sat next to her.

"I think you should accept Trunks's apology."

"Are you crazy?"

"Why not? You know you're probably never going to come over again, it will always be me coming over there.Why not go back to the way things were?"

"First of all. I hate your brother's guts. And even if we did go back to the way things were, that would mean more hatred towards each other. Come off it, Bra. what good will it do even if we did apologize?"

"Pan! I've put up with this for 2 months! ACCEPT THE FRICKIN APOLOGY! I don't want to have to come over here everyday, I'd rather we even things out by going to each others house instead of going to your house everyday. Doing the same thing day after day: talking to each other. Disscussing how much you hate my brother. Well I've had it! And unless you accept the apology and go back to the way things were, I'm not coming over!" Bra had finally snapped.

"Bra, you are like your brother. If that happ-" Pan started.

"Yata yata! If that happened to me! IF that happened to me, Pan! But no, it happened to you so deal with it! Even if you did come over, who says you have to see Trunks. I'm sorry Pan, but you should apologize to my brother, or else."Bra threatned.

"Bra, what's wrong with you? Or else what?"

"Or else, this is the end of our friendship." And Bra left.

"DAMNIT!" Pan screamed to herself. Goten came downstairs eating a peach.

"What's wrong?" he asked his niece.

"Trunks came over. He offered an apology and I said no, so we started arguing. And then Bra turns on me and says I better apologize to him if we want to keep up this friendship. What did I do wrong?" Goten thought a moment. Then a light bulb appeared over his head.

"Well, if you would have accepted his apology, you and Bra wouldn't have to hang around here because you would still have a friend."

"You didn't answer my question so clearly."

"Lets put it this way......you are the daughter of Chi Chi, that should explain a lot."

"Huh?"

"You've seen your mom mad, you two are so much alike when you get angry. I guess you have that stubborn pride that Chi Chi does."

"Errrrrrr. So you think I do have a ego problem. That may be true. Ya, I guess you're right. So I'm going to do the only obvious thing I can do."

"what, apologize to Trunks and Bra?"

"No. Wait for Bra to apologize to me." Goten did an anime fall.

"Pan, your ego! Lower it before someone gets hurt."

"Look, I'm sorry that I'm the daughter of Chi Chi whom everyone says is the meanest woman alive! How do you expect her daughter to be? I can't just change myself, I was born this way. Ever since I could remember, I've had this attitude...... Now I know why I didn't have much friends....." Pan said quietly.

"Well........" that's about all Goten could say.

"I suppose Bra was the only one able to put up with my attitude."

"True."

"If I could lower this ego problem of mine, I could probably get more friends so I wouldn't have to wait for Bra to come over and apologize to me."

"Pan! Apologize to Bra and Trunks, that's the easiest thing to do."

"Grrr..........fine! But it's not going to be easy......" Pan went over to the phone and dialed Bra's number.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Hi....."

"Oh........what is it?"

"I'm here to say I'm-I'm......"

"Yes?" At that moment Trunks answered the phone in his bedroom.

"Bra I need to-" said Trunks but stopped when he heard Pan's voice.

"I'm-Trunks? I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL!!" then Pan hung up the phone.

"What the hell?" Goten asked.

"Trunks answered." Pan shrugged.

"That wasn't the right way to apologize." Goten sighed.

"Ya, I know. It's either Bra apologizing or zip." And Pan walked outside to let off some steam with some training time.
