Hi everyone! I decided that I should probably update again, so here it is! Thanks for the reviews!

*************

Last time:

"Oh, good. Pan, Bra, you both need to find a dress." Bulma said to us.

"Why?" We both asked at one time.

"Well, Pan's birthday is next weekend!" Bulma answered, seeming surprised.

******

I couldn't believe that I had forgotten my own birthday! I never celebrated when I wasn't in Japan, so I guess it never occurred to me that we would celebrate it here! I was actually turning eighteen. I didn't really feel like it was happening, in fact, I felt like I should have been turning twenty-five or something. I guess living how I did makes you mature much faster than normal.

Now, about this dress thing. I really didn't want one. I mean really! I didn't exactly have a choice, though. Bulma had already started plans for my birthday party and I didn't have the heart to tell her no. So, I just went along with it.

"Well?" Bra waved my hand in front of my face. "Are we going or what?"

"Huh?" I looked around. "Oh, yeah, let's go."

***

When we got to the mall, it was around lunchtime, so we decided to stop at the food court for lunch before we did anything else. After lunch, Bra and I decided to first find dresses, then we would buy me make-up so that it matches my dress.

"So," I said, "Where do we start?" I looked around, feeling completely lost.

"Let's start here" Bra squealed, pulling me into a store that only sold- you guessed it- dresses.

"Help?" I looked back at Trunks and Goten who both smiled and waved. "Thanks! A lot of help you are!"

"Welcome!" Goten grinned. I rolled my eyes and allowed myself to be dragged over to a rack full of blue dresses. Bra randomly pulled some out and held them out to me, each one she put back because of some reason that she muttered. I soon grew bored with this and walked away to a rack that had all shades red and pink dresses.

"What about this one?" I pulled out a dark red one. It was strapless and looked like there were several layers at the bottom. Kind of like there was material coming out from the bottom. The outside was the highest layer and there were two others that were each a little longer than the one before it. With it, came a scarf that was the same color as the dress.

"Oh my gosh, Pan!" Bra ran over. "It's beautiful! Go try it on!" She shoved me towards the dressing rooms. Trunks and Goten had already found seats nearby, assuming that this was going to take a while.

When I put the dress on, I wasn't too sure about it. Sure, I liked it, but I just wasn't comfortable. Maybe it was because I hadn't worn a dress like this in so long. Maybe it was because of the neckline. It was a bit lower than what I was used to and it had a notch in the middle. I wrapped the scarf around my shoulders and opened the door.

"Wow!" Bra said enthusiastically. "It looks great! Turn around! Turn around!" I complied and showed her the back. "I usually don't go with the first dress I find, but this is it!"

"Where and Trunks and Goten?" I asked, looking around. I had hoped to see Trunks' reaction.

"Oh, I told them that they couldn't see until the party." She answered. "They went to get new suits for it. We're going to meet them in about an hour at the clock." There was a clock in the middle of the mall.

"Okay," I said. I was quite surprised when I looked in the mirror. I hadn't thought it would look that good, but I had to admit that it did look good.

"Do you like it?" Bra asked. "Because if you don't, I guess we can keep looking."

"No, I think I like this one." I answered absentmindedly while staring as my reflection.

"Well, let's get it them!" Bra answered excitedly. She turned me towards the changing room and gave me a shove.

As I walked back out of the dressing room, it hit me. I didn't have and money! I couldn't let them pay for more of my clothes! I didn't really have a choice, though. Bulma wanted us to have new dresses and I'm sure Bulma knew that I didn't have any money.

"What's wrong?" Bra asked.

"Well," I sighed, "I don't have any money."

"Don't worry about it!" She beamed. "Consider it a birthday present form me!"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course! Your whole outfit, including make-up will be my present for you!"

"Okay, if you're sure..." I handed her the dress and she took it to the counter and paid for it. "Here you go!" She handed me the bag.

"Thanks a lot Bra!"

"You're welcome!" She smiled. "Now for my dress and the rest of your outfit!" She grabbed my wrist and half-dragged me out of the store.

The next store we went into also just sold dresses. I followed her around while she pulled out seemingly random dresses and put them over her arm to try on. By the time she was done looking, she had at least eleven dresses to try on.

"Okay." She said, looking around for anything she may have missed. "I'm ready to try on." I followed her to the dressing rooms and took a seat as Bra found an empty room. A few minutes later, she came out wearing a dark blue dress. It had a high waist and a black netting-like material that split in the front to reveal the dark blue.

"It looks good." I nodded as she turned around.

"Yeah, but I don't like the high waist."

"Okay, what else do you have?" I asked and she walked back in to try on a different dress. By the time she got to the last dress, I had gotten really bored. I told her that the dresses looked good, but every time she had a different reason that she didn't like it.

"Well, I guess we're off to the next store!" Bra said as she hung the dresses on a rack. I nodded and we walked out of the store.

Three stores later, she finally found the one she liked. It was white and it had a small train, Now, you're probably thinking 'wedding dress' but it didn't look like one. This one, like mine, came with a scarf, too.

"Yep," Bra nodded while looking in the mirror. "This is the one." I nodded in agreement. She walked back into the changing room and came back out in her normal clothes a few minutes later.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"Oh my gosh!" Bra gasped, looking at her watch. "It's been almost an hour and a half!" She quickly paid for her dress and we hurried to the clock.

"Finally!" Goten said when we got there. "We were about to come looking for you!"

"Sorry Goten." Bra said sweetly and kissed him on the cheek.

"Oh, um, it's okay." Goten mumbled, blushing slightly; Bra giggled.

"Well, where are we going now?" Trunks asked, looked at Bra and me.

"Well, we are going to get Pan some make-up and we both need shoes." Bra answered, causing Goten to groan in disappointment.

"Let's get going them." Trunks said, taking my bag. We walked after Bra and Goten to the next store. Bra and I went in and Trunks and Goten waited on a bench. They weren't interested in shoes; I didn't blame them.

"How about these?" Bra asked, picking up an extremely high-heeled black shoe.

"Umm... too high." I laughed a little. "I'd probably break my ankle in those."

"Oh, okay, what about these?"

"BRA!" I laughed; she had picked up a pair that was for little old ladies.

"Just kidding." She laughed at me and put it back. "Is this better?" Again, they were black, but I decided that I could handle the heel. It was only about two and a half inches.

"Sure, that looks better." I answered. The lady that worked there came over and asked for my shoe size and walked away to go get it. Bra and I had taken a seat to wait. She came back and handed me the box.

"What do you think?" The sales clerk asked. I stood up and walked a little in them. They were more comfortable than I had expected. Well, as comfortable as high-heeled shoes can get anyway.

"They feel good." I answered. "Think I should get them?" I looked at Bra.

"Sure, if you like them."

"Yeah, I do." I answered. Bra had picked out a white shoe. Hers had about a four-inch heel on them.

"Could I get these in a size eight, please?" Bra asked the clerk.

"Of course." She smiled and walked away again. "So, you're going to get those?"

"Yep, I think so." I answered, sitting back down to take them off. The lady then came back with Bra's shoes. While I put my regular shoes back on, Bra put the white ones on.

"What do you think?" She asked, standing up.

"I don't know," I answered. "Are they comfortable?"

"Yep, and I think they should be good with my dress because it was a little long."

"Okay, then I think you should get them." I replied.

"Yeah, I will." Bra answered.

"Okay, I'll take the boxes for you ladies up to the register." The clerk smiled and carried the boxes there after Bra had put the shoes back in. She paid for the shoes and we were off for make-up.

"Thank you very much!" The lady said as we walked out of the store.

"You're welcome!" We answered.

"Well, that was fast!" Trunks stood up and again took my bag.

"Yep, now we just have to get Pan's make-up." Bra answered. We went into one of those big department stores and walked to the cosmetics area.

"Hello, Miss Bra," A saleslady said as we came up to the counter. "What can I get for you today?"

"Actually, my friend Pan is the one who needs make-up." Bra said gesturing to me.

"Okay," The woman said, looking at me and then back to Bra. "What did you two have in mind?"

"Well, her birthday is next Saturday, and we are having a party, so we decided that the make-up should coordinate with her dress.

"Can I see the dress then?" I took the bag from Trunks and pulled it out a little so she could see the color. "That's very pretty. I have just the idea!"

***

Fifteen minutes later, I had foundation, blush, mascara, eyeliner, lipstick, lip liner, and eye shadow. I was also told how to apply them all, but I wasn't going to be able to remember. That was okay, though, Bra said she'd help me.

"Wow," Trunks said, "I never knew there was that much make-up!"

"Yeah," I agreed. "Me neither." Bra and I had also picked out deep red nail polish that matched my dress.

"Well I guess we're done, then!" Bra said.

"FINALLY!" Goten jumped up and down. "Now I can go eat dinner!" We rolled our eyes at him.

"Goten, it's only four o'clock!" Bra said, exasperatedly.

"Yeah, but I'm hungry!" Goten whined.

"Goten, don't make a scene!" Bra said, glaring at the people staring at him; Trunks and I laughed. "We'll stop at a McDonalds on the way home!"

"Okay," Goten agreed. "I wonder what kind of toys they have in their Happy Meals..."
