DESTINY OF THE COUPLES 12
For a full 2 weeks of not talking to Bra, Pan was becoming duller and duller everday. Goten tried constantly to cheer her up, because she was no fun anymore. (Pan had been constantly beating Goten up in spars to let off some anger.) Goten also wanted to become friends with Bra so that he would be able to go back up to the castle without Pan giving him warning glares everytime he went somewhere, it was as if she knew he was going to the castle. Trunks had become bored too, no Pan to bug anymore. The only way he could see Pan was in his dreams and thoughts. Bra was shut up in her room, pondering on whether to call Pan and apologize so that they could become friends again. But then that stubborness of Vegeta prevented her from apologizing.
All 4 teenagers were in a troubled spot, and it didn't take long for their concerned parents to find out.
"Vegeta, have you noticed somthing different about the kids?" Bulma asked Vegeta, worriedly.
"Yes, but it's no concern of mine. Obviously the two are in some fight with Kakkarot's kids, that's why the two brats haven't come over." said Vegeta.
"I wonder what they could be arguing about that could keep them away from each other so long. Do you think it has something to do with Pan and Trunks? That one day I set them in to talk out their problems, and they haven't talked since. Oh no, I hope I did the right thing."
"You probably didn't do the right thing, onna. I told you to let them spar their troubles out. But no, you insisted two sayjins would solve problems by talking. That's what you get for not thinking with your brain."
"Shut up! I did think, but sayjins are a very stubborn breed. We should have another get-together. Goku and Chi Chi should bring their kids over and we can see how the 4 interact." Bulma suggested.
"Whatever. But I'll have no part in it." And Vegeta stalked off.
"Oh Vegeta." Bulma sighed under her breath.
*Goku and Chi Chi*
"Pan, Goten, get up and do something today!" yelled Chi Chi to her two kids who were laying watching t.v on a sunny day.
"Why? There's nothing to do." said Pan.
"You could spar, or clean your rooms, or go to the castle. You haven't talked to Bra and Trunks in a while, what for?" Chi Chi asked them. Goten and Pan looked at each other, nervously because the didn't want to tell Chi Chi what happened. At that moment, the phone rang and Chi Chi answered it. Then Pan heard Bulma's voice on the other end and groaned.
"What a great idea!.......okay........bye Bulma!" And Chi Chi hung up the phone.
"Bulma is having another get-together. She too has noticed that her kids were acting the same way as you two." Chi Chi informed.
"Cool!" Goten said, excited at a chance to be able to go to the castle again without Pan stopping him.
"Damn it." Pan muttered.
"Well, get out of your p.j's we're going in an hour, which will be 3 o' clock." And Chi Chi continued to do the cleaning and stuff.
Goten flew up the stairs to change and Pan walked slowly as if she had heavy feet that were dragging her down.
*Castle*
"Bra, guess what." Bulma asked her daughter excitedly.
"What?" Bra asked curiously, laying on her bed.
"The Sons are coming over for a get-together! You and Trunks haven't seen them in a while. Is there something I should know?"
"No, mother."
"Hmmm.......I don't believe you, but I won't ask anymore." And Bulma left the room.
Bra rolled over, head staring her canopy above in deep thought. What was she supposed to say to Pan once she got there? Apologize?

"Trunks! Wake up! It's 2 in the afternoon!" Bulma yelled to her sleeping son who had fallen asleep after having a spar with Vegeta.
"Mom, I'm too sore." Trunks said, head under the covers.
"Too bad. The Sons are coming over in half an hour, and I want you to greet them."
"Mooooom....." Trunks whined.
"What's wrong with getting together with friends?"
"..........."
"Okay, Bra won't tell me, I'm hoping you will: What is going on between you, Bra, Pan and Goten?"
"Nothing, mom. We just grew apart."Trunks lied.
"You're not telling the truth either. Honestly, how will I be able to spit the truth out of you?" Bulma stormed out, in anger.
*Half an Hour later*
Trunks, had gotten dressed in pants and a t-shirt, and reluctantly opened the door for the Sons. Chi Chi, Goku and Goten greeted him with smiles. Pan didn't look at him, though Trunks couldn't help looking at Pan, and then Trunks noticed she crossed her arms over her chest, and that saddend Trunks. It felt good to see her again, too bad she didn't think the same thing.
"Kids, why don't you all go outside and spar?" Bulma suggested.
"Okay." Goten agreed, and Bra and Trunks followed him out the door to the sparring ground. Pan was left alone, but went outside anyway, after getting a dirty look from Chi Chi.
The sparring ground was a distance away from the castle, on each end there was a bench to watch the spar between Goten and Trunks. Bra sat on one side, while Pan sat on the other, looking bored, but hoping Goten would kick Trunks's ass. The two guys started off fighting. Whenever in Pan's direction, Trunks caught a few glimpses of her, legs crossed arms folded, looking dull. But then looking happier when Goten hurt Trunks, which Trunks was annoyed by. Bra cheered on her brother and Goten, looking very happy. If Pan wasn't going to be happy, why shouldn't she? A memory came to Bra:
*Flashback*
"Wha-hoo! Go Goten!" A seven year old Pan cheered for her uncle. Pan was deeply interested in the spars. Bra wasn't, she was interested in playing dolls and often asked Pan or anybody to join her, but they wouldn't. Sometimes, Pan would join, though not willingly. Which made Bra feel left out.
Bra was always jealous of Pan. Not in an angry way. Pan was able to go out and be one of the guys. Teased by the guys, mainly Trunks. Bra was a spoiled brat and she knew it. True, Pan was her friend, but they didn't have the same interests. If Bra got teased or dirty, she would get upset. Pan was able to recoil those teases with threats and sarcastic remarks. Bra loved Pan's attitude, and kept wishing she was like that. But, here Bra was, sitting on the grass, playing dolls, by herself. Trunks and Goten were sparring and Pan watched. Bra wasn't interested.
"Hey, Bra, we're going to the lake. Wanna join?" Pan asked. Bra scrunched up her face in disgust.
"But there's leaches and slimy stuff. Why can't we go in the pool?" Bra asked.
"Because, the lake has a water fall and we're going to be jumping off and doing tricks. Are you in?" Bra shook her head. Pan looked dissapointed but said:
"Your loss." And went off to join Goten and Trunks.
Bra was left there, sitting alone. Playing by herself.
*End flashback*
The spar ended, Trunks won. Goten and Trunks, exausted, had an idea come to their heads.
"Let's go to the lake!" Goten said.
"Okay!" Bra agreed. Trunks nodded. The three headed off towards the lake, leaving Pan.
"Now you know exactly how I feel, Pan." Bra said to herself.
