DESTINY OF THE COUPLES
35

*A/N*

I'm finally updating after technical difficulties. ^.^

*Bra's P.O.V*

After what I had said, my dad silently leaves the room. Out of anger, or sadness, I don't know. Mom tries to give me an encouraging smile, but I don't return it. Instead, I turn around and run up to my room like the cry baby I am and always will be. I throw myself on the bed and burst out crying with the tears soaking my pillow. How will I tell Goten, when I can't deal with this myself? I'm so worried about what he'll think of me. Maybe after I am married to Sven, he'll still want to be my friend. I hope. My phone rings on my private line, and I look on the caller ID and see that it is Goten. I'm not going to answer right now. Now, I need to think. But his message does come on the answering machine:

Goten: "Hey, it's me Goten. I was just calling to see what Trunks had said to you, but you must still be talking with him, so I'll call back later."

He hangs up. I notice it's the last message available on this tape, so I take out the tape on the answering machine and put it in a loose floorboard under my bed where I was collecting all the tapes of his voice. Call me a freak, but sometimes it's just soothing to hear his voice. Plus, I'm determined to save all the memories of us as a couple. Most of them are hidden in this area under my bed. So no one will find out we are together. Like dried up bouquets of flowers, tapes, letters. But the secret room in my bedroom behind my dresser that opens when you easily pull the dresser to reveal a door, has other stuff hidden in it like jewelry that Goten spent his work money to get me, and presents like stuffed animals. Plus pictures. It's a nicely sized room, and I was able to fit a comfy couch and T.V in it. All the stuff was on shelves and in cabinets. It's sound proof, so that Goten and I can go in there and make-out freely whenever we wanted to. If someone comes in, Goten instant transmissions me inside my bathroom. This room is awesome.

I wonder what will happen to all this stuff when I'm gone. I think I'll leave it here. It won't really matter if anyone finds it. They'll finally know that I love Goten with all my heart. *Breaks out crying*

*Trunks' P.O.V*

Well, I am still slightly angered with her for knocking me out. But she did have big news to deal with, so I'll let her be. When I finally become conscious, I notice my dad leave the room, as well as my sister. Only my mom and I is left. She helps me off the floor and rub my bruised head.

"They both didn't deal with it as well as I wanted. But at least they both didn't make as big of a fuss as I thought they would. But Bra's reaction was suspiciously unexpected. It must be because of that boyfriend we haven't met yet. Well, boys come and boys go." My mom sighs.

"Yeah, but she was really interested in this guy. More than any other guy. She usually dumps guys after a week, but this has been going on for a while. And I still haven't been able to see who it was." I respond.

"Let's not worry about that now, it's Bra's job to break it to the poor boy.

*Pan's P.O.V*

I decided to call Bra this afternoon. Just to see if she would go with me dress-shopping when I get "well" from my "sickeness".

Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Funny, she's not answering. So I leave a message telling her to call back, and I decide to call her cell phone. Ring. Ring. Ring. "Hello?" she finally answers.

To me, she sounded stuffy nosed, and sad. Like she has a cold or something.

"Hey Bra, are not feeling well?" I asked, concerned.

"Er-I'm fine. I just have a stuffy nose." I know she's lying when she says "er" before an answer.

"Well. Okay...Do you want to go dress shopping with me tomorrow? When I found out you couldn't come today, I pretended I was sick and made my mom cancel it."

"*sniff* Sure Pan. I'll come with. I'll have to anyway, I've gotta get a wedding dress too....." she says silently.

"YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED TOO?!" I yell.

"Damn Pan. Why else would I be telling you I need a wedding dress too?"

"Well....are you eloping with Goten, because I haven't heard anything about this wedding..."

I hear crying over the phone. This can't be good.

"No Pan. I'm being forced into marriage with Prince Sven, the guy our planet is going to form allegiance with." She sounds all choked up.

"Oh no....what about my brother? Have you told him?" I ask.

"No...I'm scared too. *sniff* I don't know how he's going to react....I don't want to break his heart, Pan!"

"Calm down. You can't hide this from him. I'm sure that if you tell Goten the reason you have to get married to this other guy, he'll understand. Ecspecially if it's for the worthy cause of saving our planet."

"Your right. I'll tell him today. And then...I'll go....dress shopping with you tomorrow." Click.

Poor Bra. Poor Goten. Aren't weddings supposed to be happy?
