DESTINY OF THE COUPLES
34

*Pan's P.O.V*

Well, here I am. Sitting in a changing room. Turns out, they didn't have the dress I wanted, so my mom grabbed a few dresses for me to try on. But I don't want to try them on. For once, I wish Bra was here. She atleast had some fashion, unlike my mom who picks the dresses made around 10 years ago.

"PAN! Did you fall asleep in there or something?!" my mom called.

Should I feign sleep, or reply? I think I'll pretend to have fallen asleep. Oooh! Or I could say I'm sick.Then we could come back when Bra's with us!

"Ugh.....Mom, I don't feel so good. I......must have ate too fast. My stomach hurts...*moans*"

I step out of the changing room, clutching my stomach. I was all sweaty from being in a hot stall, so that just added to the effect.

"You poor thing!" My mom hugs me. The lady who was assisting us looks at me symathetically.

"I guess you should come back another time then. I'll be waiting." the woman bows us out of the shop.

As soon as I come home, my mom sends me to bed. And a while later, she comes in bringing some water and hot egg soup. She sits down, and watches me eat with concern. Truthfully, I kind of feel bad for lying to her like that. She looked so anxious to see her only daughter get dressed up for her wedding.

"I'll come by and get the empty plates later." she looks through my window. "Besides, it looks like Trunks has come to visit you. How sweet young love is."

I look and see Trunks headed towards my window. My mom kisses me on the cheek and leaves.

"Hey Pan. Your mom called me to tell me you were sick. So I came by as soon as I had the chance." he said, sounding worried.

"You shouldn't have bothered, I'm not sick. I just didn't feel like pricking out a dress today." I sighed. He looked kind of angered when I said this.

"I'm supposed to talk to Bra today, but I told everyone to wait half an hour, and you're not even sick?!"

"Sorry! I didn't know my mom would make such a big deal. What are you going to tell Bra anyway?"

"I'll tell you after I tell her. Sorry for snapping at you, I should have been visiting you more often."He sighs.

"No. It's okay. You have lots of responsibilites. I'll just have to get used to it when we're married."

"No Pan. I'm not going to be like my father. You will be the number one priorety in my life."

I grab Trunks around the neck and pull him down on the bed with me, then I start kissing him. After about a minute of not breathing, I pull apart, gasping for air.

"I was so caught up in kissing you, I forgot to breathe." I smile.

"Ya, well most gir-YOU tend to get that way around my excellent kissing skills."

I dismiss the fact that he was about to say 'girls'.

"You should go. But come back and tell me how it went with Bra if you have the time." I say.

"Sure. Wish me luck." And he instant transmissions out of my room.

*Bra's P.O.V*

Stupid Trunks. He drags me out of my date with Goten and he's late for whatever he wants to say to me! Grrrr....

"Sorry I'm late." he apologizes, coming out of thin air.

"You should be." I growl. "I was on a date."

"Bra...I suggest you stop going out with whoever you're going out with. Because I have something I need to say to you, that you're going to have to agree with me on."

"What?!-"

"Before you begin to interupt me, I need to tell you that this is for the sake of our planet. And your decision will either save it, or bring it to it's destruction." he takes a deep breathe.

I hold my tongue. Already knowing what he's going to tell me because we've had this arguement before..

"You know Prince Sven, the one who said he wanted to marry you and if you didn't he would send an army to destroy our planet? Well, mom and I really did try to get you out of it." I am about to yell. But I don't, because maybe I could sucker my way out of this whole ordeal.

"Yes..." I whisper, telling Trunks to keep talking.

"If you don't marry him, the Yetians as well as the Zorgans (Prince Sven's planet), will destroy our planet and everyone we love. So I'm asking you to PLEASE reconsider."

My eyes start to water. My bottom lip trembles. But I cannot cry. Because by marrying Sven, I'll be saving our planet and everyone won't think I'm a selfish little brat anymore and I'll finally gain respect. But I'll also be breaking off a relationship with the man I love and want to be with more than anything in this galaxy. This is all too much. And before I know it, blackness overcomes me.

*Trunks' P.O.V*

Damn! She fainted. Well, atleast she didn't argue.

"WHAT??!?!?!?!" There goes my dad. His voice echoes around the whole castle, and I know mom has already told him the bad news.

So I try and nudge Bra awake.

"Bra! Wake up!" I yell. She doesn't wake up, so I grab flowers out of a nearby vase and throw the water on her.

"AHHHHH!!!!!!" Woke her up. "DID YOU HAVE TO THROW WATER ON ME??!?!"

"Well...you wouldn't wake up...." I mumble.

Bra grabes the vase out of my hand, and before I know it, I'm out cold.

*Bra's P.O.V*

The remans of the vase clutter to the ground after I smash it over Trunks' stupid head. Jerk. This was a new dress.What were we talking about again? Oh....yeah....now I remember. Sven. Alliance. Planet-threatning decision.

"BRA! YOU'RE NOT GOING TO AGREE TO THIS, ARE YOU?!" My dad storms in the room, closely followed by mom.

Both him and mom totally ignore Trunks lying on the floor unconsious, and look at me for an answer. I gulp.

"Er...daddy. I love you. But....I'm going to have to agree. We need this for our planet. This decision is going to save it. There is no other way." I sigh, and look down. Tears spring up to my eyes again, and I let them fall freely. Knowing that I'm going to be giving up Goten...forever.

And even though, I'll be saving my home and everyone I love: I feel like shit.

My father stares at me, mouth open. Mom is sighing deeply. And Trunks is slowly recovering, getting off the floor. Me? I'm still standing there crying.
