Thanks for the reviews!
My disclaimer is around here somewhere, honest! I... just seem to have momentarily misplaced it! Honest!

Last time:
As we got out of the car, Trunks said to me, "Remind me to never let them ride with us ever again." I laughed and nodded.

We walked to the line in front of the club and waited for them to open the doors. The line had gotten rather long and I started to with we had gotten there sooner. However, that feeling quickly went away when I realized how cold it was. And, silly Bra and me, weren't wearing jackets.
Trunks and Goten, however, were. I looked longingly at Trunks' jacket and he took notice. Smirking, he unzipped it and pulled me close. Then, seeing as it was a big coat, he zipped it again behind me.
"That better?" He asked. I knew he was still smirking, even though I couldn't see his face.
"Yeah, thanks." I answered.
"Anytime, Pan-chan." He replied. I blushed. I looked over at Bra and Goten and noticed that Goten had done to Bra the same thing Trunks had done to me. She, however, was leaning very close to him and had obviously wrapped her arms around him under the coat.
Marron and Uubu took this moment to walk up to us, stepping in front of the people in line behind us. She looked at me and grinned before turning to Uubu, who wrapped his arms around her. She had been smart and had worn a coat, but she still looked cold.
"The line's moving." Trunks whispered, pulling me with him as he moved backward with the line. When we were almost to the door, Trunks reached and unzipped the coat again. He took it off and put it over my shoulders before reaching for his wallet to pay for us to get in. Bra and Goten followed us in and we decided to find a table right away.
We sat down and waited for more people to go to the dance floor. No one really talked much... Goten and Bra were more interested in each other, if you know what I mean, as were Uubu and Marron. I looked around at the other people here. The club seemed to suddenly be packed.
"Did you want anything to drink?" Trunks leaned over and asked. I shook my 'no'. "Okay, then. I'll be right back." He stood up and walked over to the bar. I could still see him, but I suddenly felt very alone. I shook the feeling off and waited for Trunks to come back. When he did, he wasn't alone. He had a rather exasperated look on his face and a blonde following him. 'Help' He mouthed to me as he sat back down. I grinned and nodded.
"Who are you?" I asked her, growing angry at the dirty look I was receiving.
"That's none of your business." She answered snottily. I could feel my ki rising; Trunks took notice, too. He pulled my hands into his and messaged them soothingly.
"Actually, it is her business." Trunks answered, too my surprise and the blonde's.
"Why is that?" She asked, this time sweetly because the question was directed at Trunks.
"She's my girlfriend, that's why." Trunks answered. I was shocked, to say the least. I played along, though, knowing it was the smart thing.
"Yeah, now what do you want?" I asked, glaring at her.
"Well, first, I'd like to know why you think that's any of your business. Then I'd like to know who you are. And last, I'd like to know why the hell Trunks here would ever even think about going out with someone as scrawny, bitchy, ugly, and self-centered as you!!" I could feel the tears welling in my eyes. Why, you ask? Well, you have to remember that I am under a lot of emotional strain right now and that makes me go off at the smallest things. Before I could react, Trunks had stood up and pushed the blonde away, not hard, of course, he didn't want to hurt her before she had a chance to hear what he had to say.
"She thinks that's her business because it is! I already told you who she is!" Trunks yelled. "And I'd go out with her because she is the exact opposite of scrawny, bitchy, ugly, or self-centered!! She is probably the nicest and prettiest person I know! Now get out of my face!!" Needless to say, the girl ran away pretty fast, even for a human.
"Thanks, Trunks." I said as he sat back down.
"No one insults you and gets away with it." Trunks answered. I blushed a little, causing him to smile. I suddenly realized all of what Trunks had said wasn't part of the act. He wasn't just playing his part, it was real!
I looked over at Bra and saw that she and Goten had been watching the entire argument. Bra was smirking and Goten... well, he just had that usual clueless look on his face. I could see a little anger in his eyes, but otherwise, he looked clueless.
"Come on, Pan." Bra said, standing up along with Marron. I gave them a confused look, but stood up anyway. I followed them to the bathroom where she began re-applying her lipstick and Marron was fixing her mascara. Why, I didn't know, I mean, it was just going to come off again.
"What's up, Bra?" I asked, watching her in the mirror.
"You know just as well as I do that he meant that!" She squealed.
"So? Maybe he was just going along with the act we were putting on." I answered, wondering why I was denying it.
"You know he wasn't." Marron said.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." I replied.
"Good, now let's get back to the table! I wanna dance!" She said and pulled me towards the door.
"Okay! Okay! You two don't hafta pull me everywhere! It's not like I'm gonna run away!" I laughed. They did too, and let me go. The three of us made our way back to the table and Marron and Bra grabbed Uubu and Goten, respectively, to go dance. I sat down next to Trunks.
"What was that all about?" He asked, pulling me close. I shrugged.
"Girl talk and make up." I answered.
"Oh." Was his reply.
"Yeah." I leaned into his embrace and stared off into space, which was in the general direction of the dance floor. Suddenly, the music cut out and an announcement came over the intercom. I didn't exactly hear it, but it said something about a heavy snowstorm and that we should probably get going back home if we didn't want to get snowed in. It also said that there would be only one more song and then they were closing.
The announcement caused a lot of groans of displeasure, but no one really had a choice. The song they happened to choose was a slow one. That figures. I felt Trunks shift and lifted my head from his shoulder.
"Want to dance?" He asked.
"Sure." I said, standing up. We walked to the dance floor and found Goten and Bra, and Uubu and Marron. They were all swaying to the music. I turned to face Trunks and I was immediately pulled into his embrace again. I reached up and wrapped my arms around his neck. I was standing on my tiptoes because he was so much taller than I was.
The song ended way too quickly for my liking. It seemed the same for Trunks, too. We slowly pulled apart and I looked up at him. He was smiling slightly and there was a calm, happy look in his eyes. Bra cleared her throat from my left and we turned to see that the rest of them were ready to leave.
As we were walking with the crowd towards the exit, Trunks reached over and took my hand. I looked up at him and smiled. He smiled back. The guys disappeared to get their jackets and Bra, Marron, and I stood there waiting for a few seconds. Trunks came back with his jacket off, as did Goten. Trunks put his over my shoulders and Goten did the same for Bra. Uubu, however, had his jacket on and handed Marron her jacket. After she put it on, we walked outside to our car and Marron and Uubu went to theirs after saying goodbye to us.
"I call shotgun!!" Goten yelled and ran towards the car. I rolled my eyes and Trunks ran after him, tackling him into the ground.
"Nope!" Trunks said. "Pan gets it! Hurry Pan! Get in!" I laughed and ran towards the car, jumping over Goten and Trunks. As I did, Goten reached out and grabbed my ankle, bringing me down as well.
"Umph!" I grunted as I hit, then started laughing. Goten had managed to push Trunks off of him and was now jumping over me to get to the car. "Two can play at that game!" I yelled as I grabbed both of his ankles, causing him to fall in front of me. I laughed some more and jumped up, over him, and made it to the car just before he did.
"Well, that was one crazy game of leap-frog." Bra muttered as Goten opened the door of the car for her. Goten gave her a sheepish look, got in after her and shut the door. I turned around in my seat and stuck my tongue out at Goten, who in turn rolled his eyes at me.
"I'll get it next time! Just you wait!"

Well, that's the end of chapter 29! I'm so sorry it took so long AGAIN! I just didn't have ANY time to write! But since you people kept reviewing, I decided that I should keep this fic going! Also, I have an idea for another fic, only it'll be a Bulma/Vegeta. That's all I telling!!
As I update, ff.n seems to be having problems. I find that if you have something minimized and you bring it up on the screen and then minimize it, you can see the words, however, you must do this every time you scroll. Also, it may not work on the first couple of times, just keep trying.
