I know,I know.Bad girl!Shame on you for writing this chapter out so late!
But I promised myself I would try harder at school,seeing as this is practically my last quarter.
Tonight is the night before April fools,and yes,it is all insanity from here on out.I'm changing the rating on my story to R now ,because things get down right serious from here on out.After a while the story does lighten up,but then it goes to seriously depressing after that...Okay,well it becomes a downer,but why am I revealing this to you now?I don't own DBZ/GT,but this story and plot is mine...Okay,maybe it is in fact so played out that it doesn't belong to ANYBODY any more,so I guess I should tell you that although my effort was put into writing this,it was actually inspired by a treasure trove of fanfics I have read over the past two years and or more.It's been a brain child for over a year,but I didn't know how to upload stories,much less chapters! Now on with the story!! ~~~~~
It was later on that night that Pan decided to spend the evening with Lyric,who could not go anywhere without her big brother watching.
Putting on a bikini (Yes,a bikini.She wanted to show off her 'assets',lol!)
she wrapped a towel around her waist,took a blue purse with the pool things she felt she would need,got some white thong sandals and walked down to the elevator and towards the pool area.She tied her now neck length hair into a kawaii short pony tail (kawaii is a cute word in itself,and it's a joke,hehe.Kauaii,Kawaii,hehee! ^_^)
and her blue bikini covered her chest well enough and butt just as well.
She was defnitely very kawaii,and many guys at the pool area had made it extremely apparent,much to Pans' annoyance.
"Whoo hoo!!Shake it girl!Mmph,I wanna get me soma dat-" "You shut your mouth!" "What!?She FINE,man!"
(Authoress is shaking her head annoyed and in shame) Obviously,they (and I) are VERY new at this.
(goes right along shaking her head)
Pan held her head up high and 'Hmmphed!'
but this only incited some of the men to hop up and down wolf whistling... Their girlfriends didn't take kindly to this..(I'm so evil,aren't I?*smiles evilly,teasingly*)
"Ow,ow,OW!Baby,don't do that!" "Oh,so now it's 'baby',huh!"
And so on!
Pan looked around for a table and found one near the pool.
It had an umbrella insinuated in its' middle,and although there was no shade to speak of, naturally,it still offered security in some way. Biting her lip to keep from laughing,Pan set her things down.
From her blue purse she took blue screened swimming goggles,sunscreen,some sea shells she had from previous diving adventures and recent,and a wallet,which she enshrouded in her large egyptian cotton towel (I just LOVE those towels,don't you!?). Stretching herself out on a 'bed' mere inches away from the edge of the pool,
(What ARE those things called anyways?!)
Pan started her lazy eye search for Lyric,who had said she would be there early.
A strange green mass suddenly burst out of the water and scared Pan when it screamed.
"What the hell!?"
"HUaaa!! Hey Panny,is that you?!"
Pan calmed down enough to start laughing.
Lyric had been the green mass that had nearly scared the living hell out of her! "Sorry about that,but Neo was gonna-"
Out of nowhere,a silver streak tackled the green waves and all that could be seen were large splashes,and a confusion of silver,white and green.
Brother and sister both came up slowly,Lyric standing in the water and Neo getting out to dry himself.
He was too quick for Pan:He had a towel around himself in seconds.
Pab,however,had her eyes on Lyric,who was grinning like an idiot. She made a thumbs up at Pan and whistled. "Damn Pan!Do you lift weights or something?If I were a guy,I know I'd want to date someone like you!"
Pan blushed.Why and HOW was this girl so outrageous?!Even Bra wasn't this bad!But she had to admit,it was very amusing and funny when a straight girl wolf whistled and hit on you.
Scary,sure,BUT funny.
"You are CRAZY!" she choked out,laughing.Lyric shrugged with a smile on her face.
"Get in,the waters great!"
"Hold on!"
I said,turning to the table,where Neo had seated himself.He had apparently been drying himself like a maniac because he looked as if he had never been in the pool at all,save for the tell tale sign of his pretty much messed up hair. "Hey Neo,why'd you get out?"
He looked at me as if he'd seen me for the first time.It was actually a little unnerving,but anything that unnerves me usually annoys me.He was new though,so I decided to be nice.
Shrugging he replied,"I got self conscious.Only me and Lyric in that part of the pool.Someone would have seen me."
I rolled my eyes.
"Oh come on,no one is that self conscious!"
"As a cop,I just feel that there is a sense of decency I must uphold," he stated with his head down and voice strong.
I didn't think I would ever understand this guy.
Getting my goggles,I tried to put them on,but they snapped....I stared at the two pieces in my hands...
Crap...
Last time I tried to fix my own goggles,I ki blasted the silly things.
I looked at the closest person near by-Neo- and mouthed one word:
HELP!!
He seemed to get the idea,because he leaned over and took it out of my hands.He adjusted the strap and put it back together.I told him it was too small and he asked me to tell him how far he should pull the strap.
Wait for it,wait for it,there!
He re-adjusted the straps and handed them to me.They were a perfect fit.
As soon as I was sure they were secure,I grinned at Neo.
"Let's go swimmimng!Three's a party,remember!?"'
The guy sighed and said 'go on,' but he never said yes or no.
I just shrugged,walked to the pool and literally just walked into the pool.You know how cartoons will be walking on solid ground one moment,but they look away only to find that their next 'would-be' step took them over the edge and tumbling?Yea,that was me.
Lyric laughed and called me crazy.
Hey,I AM crazy!I am the epitome of psycho,I AM your WORST nightmare,I will suck you INTO my psychosis and never let go!
Call me crazy,I don't care!In fact,I embrace it!
No Goten,no Trunks,No Bra....actually,that last thought was inviting!
Oh wait,this is a hotel pool and there are other guys here..Darn!
Lyric seemed to be smiling at something behind me,so I turned to look.
It seems Neo was being dramatic about removing his towel,because once it came off,he had his hands at his sides and sighed.
Next thing I now,he's jumped over my head and into the water.
Sputtering,I looked around for him,but when I saw Lyric laughing,I realized he had come up behind me.
Water demon!
NO one beats me when it comes to swimming! "Hey Neo! I bet I beat ya in a swimming race!First to the end of the pool and back to pull Lyrics top off wins!"
I shouted,getting a head start.Of course Neo hesitated for ,like,two seconds before he went after me.
Amazing,he actually caught up with me,but I did get to the end first.It was actually war trying to get back first,but I remembered the condition.I knew Neo wouldn't let me get to Lyric!
I grabbed Lys' legs and pulled her under,but something grabbed my waist and pushed me against a wall.
I came up choking and sputtering.That was completely uncalled for! And here's the real kicker,the weird thing was still holding me!
I kicked and screamed,but I couldn't fly out of the water!People,always so scared when someone flies out of a pool!
I did,however,get the thing to let me go.It turns out that the things that grabbed my waist were actually Neos' arms.He was not going to take his sisters top off,much less his younger sisters',but he was not going to let any one else do it over his dead body either.
Wow,ths guy has some honor code.I don't know if I like it or if it annoys me.
He's cute and all,but when is he going to get a life?!
~~~~~~ LPOV
I thought I was crazy,but when Pan challenged Neo to a race,I knew it was on! No one beats Neo at swimming EVER,so it was definitely great to see Pan leave him in the dust...erm,bubbles,uh,whatever.
That last part sounded fun,I didn't know Panny had it in her!Take off my top?As if I'd let my new found friend or big brother do that! No way!
Pan almost won,but Neo pulled her back.I guess she didn't know it was him,because she looked really mad.
I can tell she is a strong person:NO one has those abs!Make me jealous of Janet Jackson,why don't you!?Her spirit is untamed:Wild and free.
Such a beautiful thing.I hope nothing ever breaks her spirit.
I had to see Neos' spirit broken,and it was not a fun thing to see.It still isn't,though it is kind of cute to see my big bro squirm and be so self conscious.
A rare thing to see in a guy these days,what with the usual pick up line being 'Take it all off!'.Mature,aren't we?
I wonder what we'll be like next year? I've just gotta wonder...
~~~~~~~~~~~~ NPOV
Pan IS cute,I admit that to myself and only myself. But sometimes I don't know what to make of her.Granted, only knew her for about half a day,but listening to her voice,I recognize it as being the one I heard shouting 'I love Maui' earlier.It was pretty late by then,about 9 something,but we were having the time of our lives just talking and splashing around.I don't know what inspired her to take me on AND try to see my sister chest naked,but there's people for ya.We're all psycho,especially me.I am not even going to try and deny my little issues. So I am not too fond of 'flashing a litte' as my sister once so proudly proclaimed,and when I do,it is usually neccessary.Even then,I am harrassed by either my sister,parents,or friends. Girls make me uncomfortable sometimes,but it doesn't mean I don't have girlfriends...erm,well you know what I mean,right?
Girl friends.Girlfriends.Girls who are your friends.Great,now I'm confusing myself...
Lyric has been hyper active ever since we got here.The weather is over bearingly hot,granted,but the scenery....
truly breath taking.
I never saw such blue waters,and looking beneath the surface of the water as soon as you enter the ocean from the beach,you see wild life!Fish in the rocks,bugs in the trees,ghost in the shell...okay,I couldn't resist that last one *smiles cheesily* can you tell I am the king of corny jokes?
Not a title I am very proud of,mind you,but I try to at least crack a smile on your face.I could never stand to see a woman cry,whether it be my mother,my sister,or a close friend.I just can't.So I'm a 'sissy'.So what?The guys at work call me that on a daily basis,I'm surpised they don't think I'm gay by now.Ah,just for the record,I am one hundred percent straight!*laughs sheepishly*
I have absolutely nothing against gay dudes,it's just that I am not.Sissy,maybe *growls* A water baby,as my mother calls me,I can live with that! The 'poet' of the family,as father has called me,or even overly self conscious.I can live with that!The only two nicknames that annoy me are 'Sissy',which the guys in the force call men,and the 'emergency flasher',as Lyric once called me *grumbles at how clever that was...*
How do you tell someone you think they're 'cute' without insulting them at the same time?!
She's special,I sensed it the moment I passed her on the wave. It would be nice to have someone like her as a friend,but our 'relationship' so far has been strained,as far as I can tell.I wonder now if we'll ever be able to call ourselves friends...
~~~~~~~~
Walking towards the elevators,Lyric squealed annoyingly but covered her mouth as quickly,Neo and Pan looked at each other and burst out laughing.Lyric pouted,but her eyes danced and sang volumes. "Hey Pan,why don't you stay with us!?In OUR room!?That way,we are using one suite and you don't have to pay for yours!"
"Would the hotel let you do that?We aren't related and we barely know eachother!"
"I know,but it's a two room suite and my bro takes one,of course.We could stay in the other!We'll talk late into the night and wake up together so we can get the bus early-"
"You mean like we're supposed to?"
Neo interrupted,annoyed but smiling.
"Stop being rude!" "I'm not being rude.In fact,I'm being considerate," he smiled.
Lyric huffed,but continued.
"Come on,Panny!Pleeease???"
Pan rolled her eyes.
"But just this one night?"
Lyric jumped up and down and pecked Pan on the cheek.Neo found himself staring.
"Oh wow,this is great!"
~~
Neo POV
Lyric fumbled with her purse,but I got my card key out in 3 seconds and had the door opened in no time.I had to laugh at the look on her face.I haven't given her the chance to use her key since we got here! Setting the key down on the counter,I told Pan to make herself as well at home as she could,since it was freezing and all.
~~~~~~
Pan POV
I think this hotel has different rooms for different guests.Where as the wood in my 'room' was a tan brown and the couches' are a cream color,here everything looked like it had been removed from the sea bottom!
Coral bits and sea horse statues,paintings of mermaids on the walls.It was a wonderland!Girlish,of course,but still nice decor.Very creative.
This is definitely something Bra would faint at the sight of.I can hear her querulous voice now...
'EW,what IS this place?Like,out of the 1900s' or something?Stuuupid!These people have no fashion sense at alll!'
I laughed to myself only to find Lyrics royal blue eyes looking at me,a questioning glance in their depths. ~~~~~~~ Lyric POV
I wanted to know what made Pan laugh.If it made you laugh,chances are that I'm gonna wanna know.If you are a druggie and something or other made you laugh,I don't think I wanna know...
although there was that one time.... ~~~~~~~
Settling down,the girls talked and left Neo,who started taking a shower as soon as he told Pan to make herself at home...
They went back to Pans room,where she opened the door and walked in without hesitation.Lyric was the one to flick the lights on,and she admired Pans 'room' as much as Pan had admired theirs.
"Wooowww....No wonder you didn't wanna leave!This is beautiful!"
"Ah,it's nothin' compared to yours!"
"Ours is creative,yes,but it doesn't have the elegance yours does!"
(Lyrics thoughts) 'Oh great,we're talking about room decor.How low can we go?!'
Pan took a change of clothes from her suit case.That included a bathing suit,night gown,clothes for the next day,and that was it.
The night walk would not happen for much longer.
Walking back,the girls stopped by a soda machine.
"Hm!Pan,do you have a quarter?I'm one short," "I think so.Let me check," said Pan,digging into the little blue denim purse.
Lyric,meanwhile,bought herself a Pepsi and lemon Ice Tea. Pan gave her the quarter,and Lyric put in the correct amount of change required for the third soda.
"Pan,what do you want?" "What do I want?"Pan asked vaguely,a far off look in her black eyes. "Yea,the soda.What do you want it to be?" "Oh!" Pan blushed,realizing she had spaced out again, "Um,I guess a regular water will do," she said with a shrug.Lyric smiled and pressed a button.
Pan stared at the little bottle that came tumbling out.
"How'd you-" "I sensed it-" "You..?-" "I could just tell," Lyric shrugged. Pan shrugged as well,picked up the Sprite and walked back to Lyric and Neos' suite.
~~~ I didn't get to work on this chappie as much as I would have liked,but this was such a busy week AND weekend! I was sleeping over at a friends house for two nights and just got back today (April 6th,2003) !!!
I don't own Sprite,Pepsi,Ice Tea,or anything else that belongs to a company I forgot to mention,hehe!Review aplenty or I won't add a chap next week!!That's not just a threat,it's a promise!
PS:because FF net wouldn't let me,the chap after this is most definitely coming out late :(
But I promised myself I would try harder at school,seeing as this is practically my last quarter.
Tonight is the night before April fools,and yes,it is all insanity from here on out.I'm changing the rating on my story to R now ,because things get down right serious from here on out.After a while the story does lighten up,but then it goes to seriously depressing after that...Okay,well it becomes a downer,but why am I revealing this to you now?I don't own DBZ/GT,but this story and plot is mine...Okay,maybe it is in fact so played out that it doesn't belong to ANYBODY any more,so I guess I should tell you that although my effort was put into writing this,it was actually inspired by a treasure trove of fanfics I have read over the past two years and or more.It's been a brain child for over a year,but I didn't know how to upload stories,much less chapters!

"Pan,what do you want?" "What do I want?"Pan asked vaguely,a far off look in her black eyes. "Yea,the soda.What do you want it to be?" "Oh!" Pan blushed,realizing she had spaced out again, "Um,I guess a regular water will do," she said with a shrug.Lyric smiled and pressed a button.
Pan stared at the little bottle that came tumbling out.
"How'd you-" "I sensed it-" "You..?-" "I could just tell," Lyric shrugged. Pan shrugged as well,picked up the Sprite and walked back to Lyric and Neos' suite.
