Chapter?What chapter?!
Love for all of you who were generous enough to review! Don't worry,but I'm gonna have to get past 'Hawaii' in order for the plot to start getting serious! Also,school is a total BEEEEEEEP!,So I won't be able to update with fair chapters like I used to,and my grades in ninth sucked,so I need to take a summer course for those classes that just did not agree with me.*throws pillow* Stop laughing,it's not funny!*starts laughing because she's throwing pillows with bricks in them* I'm sure YOU'VE all been to summer school at least ONCE in your Academic lives! *smiles with satisfaction when the snickers and open laghs immediately quiet*
Arigatou!
*Sighs impatiently* Look,if I owned DBZ/GT,I would be busy making more episodes,NOT FANFICS!! *smiles* All better!

Kami, I'm groggy!I woke up about seven,as did Lyric.
By the time I got some 'alone time' with Neo,it was 7:30 in the afternoon!
He wanted to see the japanese part first.I was a little skeptical,but I gave him the beginning.
He simply nodded and said," Hikaru Utada fan,huh?So's my sister.She's trying to get me to 'convert',though I wouldn't mind hearing more of Hikaru in english...
So odd that you would hear this line.Of all parts you could have heard..."
Neo trailed off,looking at the lyrics.I kept watching him,when I was struck by a strange-no,downright weird!-thought.Could Neo....?
"Hey Neo,do you understand Japanese?"
He looked up from the page and looked me in the eyes.I'd swear it was like he was getting ready to confess murder. His answer didn't match his look,though.
"Yeeeaaah...why?!"
At first,it seemed as if he didn't care,but the way he said 'why' made one think that he was almost,well,suspicious!
My eyes narrowed at his reply.Add to that a sort of leer,and I could tell he knew he had it coming his way.
"Urusai...Usotski.Uso yo!!"
He suddenly smiled and his eyes twinkled.'Huh?!eyes twinkled?!' "I guess I should have told you outright.I understand enough Japanese to at least translate THIS bit,as I'm sure you can as well.I'm surprised you didn't already,though," he said,pouting slightly.Oh Kami,he makes relatively decent pouts..Wait,did I just think like a *gulp* girl?!
He stood up rather formally,then held his hand out to me in a polite manner and CLEARLY said,"Konnichiwa,Pan-san,Watakushi Neo-san!"
I swallowed what little pride I had left,but then ,as smugly as I could,asked,"So whats it say,nickel boy?"
He frowned slightly,then read the japanese part aloud while turned away from me.When he was done,he looked at me with a sort of grin that apparently came from the heart,and translated it...eventually.
"So I don't know enough to translate it entirely.I do know it says something here that would allude to a bad end to a fairly bad relationship,though,"
"Oh?" I asked with raised eyebrows.
"Well,it says something here about Cheryblossoms,or Cherry Blossom trees,and it says 'Owari',so I suspect this 'relationship' ended PERIOD,but there was still something of a heartbreak on the girls part.Namely YOU," he said breezily,shooting a pointed look my way.
I bristled,but tried to push it aside."How do you know that's what it's about,anyways?You don't have nearly-"
"The look on your face says it all,princess.According to that expression you're making,I'm right."
Okay.Under normal cirumstances I would have congratulated someone who didn't naturally speak Japanese for getting that close.Neo,however,was getting a little too cocky for my liking.
Boy was I right...
"Not to mention that the entire thing DOES say
'Fall in love, then it ends
I swear: This will be my last heartbreak
Even the cherry blossom trees shaking in the wind,
will bloom one day soon. '
He smirked.
Okay..so maybe I was really underestimating this guy.Who knew?The man says he knows little japanese and can barely translate a few words from a VERY short text,then pulls a one-eighty on me and translates the whole thing 'Snap!' like that!!
Maybe I should try getting to know people before I judge them.Neo isn't all that bad,but I think he's made it obvious that he likes to tease people other than his own nineteen year old sister already.I mean,how old IS this guy?!Thirty FOUR?!
"I'm 23,by the way.You?"
Pan looked at him,understandably confused.
"19.but how did-" "Oh!" Neo clapped his hand to his mouth,then slowly let go.
"Ah,I could see it in your eyes?" he asked rather than stated.Pan slowly nodded and let it go.'Ookaaaay..' she thought.'He's pulling a Lyric on me..Greaaaat.I wonder?'
"Don't mean to be rude,but I have to know!Neo,are you,well," Pan stated nervously. Neos' eyes suddenly widened considerably and he started choking,but once Pan tried to help him he started laughing uncontrollably.
"Neo,WHAT is wrong with you?!" "No-hack-thin'!-cough,cough- is the maha-hack-tter!"
He finally settled down and just chuckled every few seconds.He wiped his eyes and looked up at Pans' wild ones."You sure you're okay??" "Yes,I am!What were you going to as-hasK me?!" he said,as he started laughing again.
Pan frowned and 'hmmph!'ed .
"Are you gay!?"
"No,I'm not!" he said,laughing even louder than before."Why'd you ask?" he asked,still laughing."Just wondering," "Just how I act,right?Eh,at least I can fully understand why not many women would want to go out with me in the first place!" "Well,you're old!" she stated.
"Hey,not THAT old!I just happen to have silver hair!" "Suuure,riiight.Does your mom have green hair and your dad silver?" "Well yea,except that mom dyed hers green.Dad seemed to aways have white hair.Mine came out silver."
When Pan gave him the 'What's the difference?" stare,he cleared his throat and continued. "The males on my fathers side have always had silver hair.My dad was actually the odd one out,so would you please stop smiling like that?It's kind of eerie," "Uh huh,sure,now why does Lyric have green hair?"
Neo shrugged. "Mom says her family has irish blood in it."
Pan smiled. "Bad stereotype,huh?" "Like you wouldn't believe," he muttered.
~~~~~~~~
After their enjoyable conversation,Pan went off to bed.HER bed. Lyric seemed to have found new companions of her own and was planning to have a field day by the next morning.
Showering and dressing,Pan immediately changed out of her night clothes and into her bathing suit.Her eyes determined,she set out for the beach,walking. No one was going to take away her much desired night walk.Not Lyric,Neo or Trunks,not her parents or anybody.
This was her night and she wanted it.
~~~~~~Neo~~~~~~
I admit.I love knowing an entirely new language that not many in the US have cared to learn.Japanese is a beautiful language,once you learn it well enough to speak it understandably.I think Pan is mad at me,but I hope she isn't.I just wanted to see how she liked me,or rather how much.
After reading her mind and answering her question in a rather ambiguous way before she could ask it,I thought I may have either intimidated her,or seriously weirded her out out.Lyric is proud of her gift,but mine ALWAYS got me in trouble.I admit,although Lyrics comes in handy sometimes and is way stronger than mine,I get some help from mine as well.Mind you,it doesn't matter that Lyric is younger than me.Hers is stronger still.Pan left pretty soon after that.Said the cat calls from the guys in the pool were making her sick.I pretty much just stayed on my chair at the umbrella table and would have probably gotten up to leave if I didn't happen to see Lyric flirting with a guy in the pool...
~~~~~~~~~
"Lyric,what the hell?!" "Oh,Neo!This guy says he has a sister!Maybe we can double date!" "The hell we will!" Neo said,grabbing his sister and dragging her by the arm."I'll see you tomorrow!" she called out to the confused guy she had been 'talking' to.
"Lyric,what the hell were you doing?!" "I was talking to him.We have common interests,ya know.He isn't just some random guy I could pick up off the street or in a cafe' if I wanted to." she rolled her eyes while she was talking.Had it been another girl to say this,Neo would have laughed good-naturedly and retorted,but in her case he retorted."I'm sure 'sharing the same interests' includes jiggling your chest and calling him over?!" Lyric pouted,but he had a good point.Gods,she hated when he was right! "Damn you Neo,"she spat."Just doing my job,sis.Don't want to see you or Pan get hurt again," Neo slipped.Lyric spun on him."What?!How could you get into her private life like that?" She said in a shamed tone.Then, grinning madly,she said,"Spill.What did she do?!" Neo laughed,ruffled her hair and walked away."I thought it was rude tp get into the private lives of others,you dufus!"
"You take it back! I am NOT a dufus!Neo get back here! YOU'RE A PREGNANT GOLDFISH!!"
Neo kept laughing and yelled ,"I heard that!"but he never stopped walking.His destination?The beach.It was getting late,but he liked to go to the ocean at night.Night Walks had always been his preference.

!!!!!!
Sorry I took so long!I wish I could have given a much longer chapter too,but I've been lazy,let's leave that one excuse.I was out of school for a whole week minus monday because of womanly problems that became worse.I mean bigtime stomach problems,like going dia-well you know-when I coughed.When I COUGHED!!Do you know how FUNNY my mom found that?!How HORRIFYING I found it?!I haven't even gone on the com but in the last two days or so!Maybe three...I don't even remember!!
I really am sorry that I couldn't make at least a long chapter to make up,but take it or leave it.Again,I apologize and hopefully can update in two weeks with a better and much longer chapter!
Props if you know what Neo was talking about and what Lyric meant!
