Chapter 2

Gifts and Questions

Pan opened the Brief's residence and was surprised when she was tackled by her

uncle Goten "HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAN-CHAN!" Groaning Pan sighed "Damn you Brat

you ruined the surprise" came a unenthusiastic Vegeta from inside the door. Pushing her

uncle off of her she looked around to see the house decorated nicely "Thanks guys" she

mumbled before looking at Vegeta and smirking. He was leaning against the wall his arms

crossed and his head bent "Why you drag me to these stupid parties woman I'll never

figure out" but by the tone of his voice Bulma and Pan knew he was rather happy to be

celebrating another year passing that the 'true saiyan female' had aged. Looking around

she smiled seeing the gifts "Come on Pan open the gifts!" Yelled Goten who was still

acting like a child of four "Can't I visit with the people I haven't seen in years first Uncle

Goten?" she whined but her mother shook her head "No dear your Uncle is right Bulma

has some things to do so opening the gifts now is for the best" Pan shrugged and walked

over to the table that all the presents were sitting on there were 9 gifts sitting on the table

she opened one by one. Yamcha had gotten her season passes to his games which was a

nice thought 'yeah right' Bulma had gotten her a stack of books for her last year of

college 'oh fun' Bra had gotten her a mall gift card and promised to take her shopping 'Oh

the Joy!' Grandma ChiChi got her a blown up picture of Pan and Goku after Pan's first

world tournament, Tien had just given her money, Master Roshie got her a skimpy bathing

suit which only got him 5 lumps on the head and 5 furious women, Her parents got her a

gift card as well to the mall, Her grandpa Hercule gave her a life time membership to his

dojo 'even though I don't need it being his granddaughter', and Piccolo gave her some

training gear that looked much like his and her fathers. She didn't see a gift from Vegeta

or Trunks but figured Vegeta didn't want to get her anything and Trunks was probably to

busy. After some cake and food Bulma headed off to work and all the guest went home.

Bra begged for Pan to stay the night and she agreed. As the night progressed and Bra

started to get distracted by magazines and boys Pan slipped away grabbing her training Gi

and heading towards the gravity chamber. After changing she opened the door only to find

Vegeta sitting in the middle of the room with the gravity turned off "Something wrong

Vegeta did you break it again?" Vegeta just humped before pointing towards the corner of

the room where a box was sitting. Curious to what it contained she walked towards it

opening it. Inside was the most awesome outfit she had ever seen! Pulling it out she saw it

was much like Vegeta's armor he head worn when he was attacking the planet. The black

under spandex outfit was sleeveless and the pants were shorter like booty shorts. The

white boots were tipped gold and on the front of the chest plate was the royal symbol

"This is the best Vegeta" she put it back in the box before flying at him and hugging him

"Thank you" Vegeta just sat there unmoving but for those who could really see through

his mask of emotions a glint of happiness shown in his eyes glad she liked the gift. "It is

the armor woman wore who battled and the royal symbol means your practically part of

the family... You are to strong to be part of the Third class rank so I am promoting you to

Elite." She beamed at Vegeta before nodding "Thanks again Vegeta now lets get to work"

Vegeta didn't move "You broke it didn't you" He still didn't respond "Fine... see ya in the

morning then Vegeta thanks again for the awesome armor!" with that she grabbed the box

and walked out but to her dismay ran right into a wall... not just any wall but a warm

somewhat soft wall "What the when did walls start moving and breathing and..." she

looked up and laughed "hey Trunks thought you would be in bed" he shook his head "nah

don't have work tomorrow so thought I would get some fresh air" she nods "Oiy your dad

just gave me the most awesome gift!" she opened the box showing Trunks the armor but

Trunks frowned "That's the crest of the princess Bra has one just like it save for a few

different marks here and there" he pointed as he spoke she looked curious but shrugged

"Well it's really awesome armor" Trunks sighed "I didn't get you any armor but I did get

you this" he held up a small box and she opened it a really awesome necklace was in it on

a chain was another Saiyan symbol and in the center was a sapphire and 2 diamonds She

smiled "And what does this mean" he shrugged "its the closest symbol to friendship dad

said there was in Saiyango." Pan looked it over curiously "So did he say what it exactly

meant" Trunks shook his head "No but he said it was as close to friends as people got on

Vegeta maybe if you ask him he will tell you" she nodded then hugged him "Thanks

Trunks put it on me?" He nodded and she pulled her hair up and turned around so he

could attach the necklace. She smiled turning around and giving him a kiss on the cheek

"Thanks Trunks but I'm getting tired and your dad broke the damn GC" Trunks nodded

glad that in the dark she would never be able to see his blush. *Why am I reacting this way

to her* he thought as she walked into the house. Sighing he turned and started towards

the GC knowing his dad was still in there "Hey dad" he muttered as he walked in sitting

next to his dad. "What do you want Brat?" He turned towards Vegeta sighing "why is it

you still call me 'brat' when you stopped calling Pan 'brat' 3 years ago?" Vegeta looked

over towards his son and with a heavy sigh shrugged "Maybe because she figured out how

a true Saiyan acts... and maybe because she doesn't run away from her fears" Trunks was

curious to what his father meant exactly by this. After an hour of so just sitting with his

father not saying anything Trunks got up "Are you ever going to bed?" Vegeta looked at

his son "when ever everyone else is in bed I might..." Trunks rolled his eyes knowing what

his father was implying... Yeah everyone knows their parents do that sort of thing but you

never want to know when they do it... Shrugging he headed towards the house and up to

bed for a good nights sleep.

There no cliffy this time... Enjoy!!! Loved the Reviews thanks Laddybugg and Missa5 for reviewing. I'm going to try to write this story well but its going to be Simi long I'm guessing 15-30 chapters and it might take a while for them to get together but its going to have a few good twists here and there like all good TP fics do.
