07 – Bra's Secret
Oh Kami, what was I thinking telling my father that! I hadn't really thought about it until today. Why was I with Seventeen? Besides being funny, smart, and very sexy, I couldn't think of a sane reason to stay with a man that is part android and not to mention that he use to go around killing and terrorizing the city. I think I can change him though, I want to believe that. He loves me right? Oh why am I trying to convince myself when I have already announced to my dad that we are an item now. What will Trunks think? Pan? What about Goten, my once long ago love; what would he say about this? I tried to erase these thoughts from my mind as I concentrated on my shower. I was sore from the night before; which draws a big question mark, I know I spent the night with Seventeen, or Sean as I like to call him, but as to the intimate details I can't remember anything that happened. Sean woke me up this morning and I found myself in Marron's house and in her parent's bed. I have a lot of respect for Eighteen and Krillin, so yeah I was way embarrassed that Sean and I had, had sex in their bed. At least I think we had sex, I was naked and he was naked but like I said I don't remember anything.
In fact the most I remember about Sean and my relationship is the mornings after and the nights before. We had never had a date, and I have never been anywhere with him as my boyfriend, yet I love him just the same. I toweled off my body and my long blue hair and wrapped the towel around myself before heading to my room. I didn't know what I had planned for today and thought I would do a rare thing and laze about. I put on a tank top with the word 'princess' on it and a pair of baggy jeans. I bushed my hair but decided to let it air dry. I was about to plop down on my bed with a good murder mystery when an irritating knocking came from my door.
"Come in." I simply stated and the door nearly flew off the hinges. It was mom, she seemed a little perturbed and I didn't know why.
"Bra, where the hell have you been? I have been frantic with worry over you and Trunks. You haven't seen Trunks have you?" Mom was rambling obviously and I had no idea what she was talking about.
"I spent the night with a friend," Dad must not have talked to her yet. "And I don't know where Trunks is. What's going on?" I asked.
"Oh Kami, Trunks was found having sex with Marron last night and Pan walked in on them. This morning Trunks doesn't remember anything and now the wedding is off. No one knows where Pan is and Trunks took off after your father and I confronted him." Mom rushed the explanation to me and I was shocked beyond repair. Pan, my best friend in the entire world, had come over here to find her fiancé cheating on her and I wasn't here to give her support. Trunks was the stupidest man alive, what in the hell would possess him to sleep with Marron.
"Wh...What? I mean no one can find Pan? What about the arrangements to the wedding? Are you sure that the wedding is cancelled?" I asked wanting to understand a little more into this plot. Mom took my idea away from me and plopped down on my bed with a very exasperated sigh.
"Yes, I am sure the wedding is off, because Pan gave Marron her ring! And as to the wedding plans and arrangements, I sent your father to cancel them. I know that no one would give Vegeta a hard time, especially when he goes in to tell the bakers that the five foot high wedding cake they have already finished will not be used. Pan? Pan is not at her house; I called. Her parents don't know where she is, and her grandparents also don't know where she is." Mom was laying on my bed as if to take a nap. I finally snapped to and figured out the only place that Pan might go.
"I know where Pan is, although, I don't know how she got there, because she has never been to his house before; Goten's of course. Pan and Goten are more like best friends then niece and uncle; which is why Pan would be there if she wasn't at her grandparents house. I guess I had better go and see if I can console her." Mom looked relieved that I had figured out something and that she could rest her overstressed head for a little bit. Then she raised her head off my pillow with a horrified look.
"And where do you think Trunks would go if he had just found out from me and your father that the love of his life cancelled the wedding?" Mom yelled and nearly fell off the bed with worry.
"Goten's." We both said at the same time. I rushed my preparations on going out into the world and prepared to go to Goten's. God I haven't seen Goten in like three months and I was going to demand to him to let me see Pan. Mom left my room apparently satisfied that I could handle the situation when I got there. I put my black headband on and left the house in a rush. I knew where Goten lived because I had gone over there many times to apologize for the way we broke up; yeah I know that, that was two years ago, but I still feel that it was a bad mistake and Goten didn't deserve the way I treated him.
I flew as fast as my ass would fly and almost ran into the front door; that I noticed had a huge dent in it. I was confused about denting an undentable door and just knocked, very loudly, on it three times. I could hear an angry voice on the other side of the door and then the door was ripped open.
"Trunks, I said she doesn't want to see you right now!" Goten yelled at the top of his lungs; I thought; I won't be able to hear again for a month. Goten registered in his head that I was not Trunks and then turned a nice shade of red. I smiled, almost shyly and nodded a greeting.
"I know Pan is here, and from the outburst in you, I know Trunks was here. So can I possibly speak to my best friend?" I asked as nicely as I could. Goten's normal color came back and he smiled at me. Gee, that's the first real smile in like a year. I wish things would go back to the way they were.
"Sure, Bra; I bet Pan would feel better to have a female to talk to instead of just a male perspective. Although, I have to warn you; Trunks did a number on her, both emotionally and physically; I healed her with a senzu bean about half an hour ago. She may be asleep." Goten informed me with the details as he stepped aside and let me enter his humble abode. I noticed right away that the place would have been clean if the furniture wasn't torn all to pieces. What the hell had happened when Trunks had shown up, I wondered. I ignored the mess, well, didn't ignore it I just didn't say anything about it. I walked down the hall to Goten's bedroom and found Pan lying in the bed. She was sitting up and didn't look that bad at all. She looked at me when I entered and smiled with a hint of tears in her eyes.
"Bra! I'm so glad you're here. I really hope that you can shed some light on why last night happened. I know that you've been told by now." Pan said with a type of emotion I've never seen before. What was really going on here?
"Pan, how are you? You don't look bad; Goten hinted that you had gotten hurt by Trunks?" I asked. She looked at me and her eyes got stormy; the emotional rollercoaster she was riding was taking its toll.
"I'm ok I guess. Yeah, Trunks hit me and knocked me into Goten's dresser with all kinds of framed pictures on it. The glass from the frames is what hurt me, but Goten cleaned me up and healed me with a Senzu bean." She paused as if thinking deeply then, "Bra, what happened? Can you tell me why Trunks would do something like this to me? You know I loved him so much? I mean I still love him, but..." She paused. She had a strange look on her face; I didn't want her to know that I knew what she was talking about.
"Pan, I wasn't home last night and so I found out about what happened from mom. I honestly don't know of a reason that Trunks would bed the vilest girl in the city. He had a good thing going with you and I think that it'll take a lot for him to make it up to you..." I was going to say something else but the look on Pan's face stopped me. A tear rolled down her cheek and she looked as if she would lose herself in crying again. "What's wrong Pan?"
"Bra, I love you like a sister and I do still love Trunks, but this has changed everything for me. I don't think I will ever forgive him. I mean I will forgive him eventually, but I won't ever let him have my heart again." I was struck with silence, which doesn't happen a lot. I sat down on the edge of the bed and Pan moved over a little to make room for me. "I know it's a lot to contemplate but I have realized that not everything revolves around your brother. I don't know what to say but a new 'light' has come to my eyes." When Pan said this; her eyes darted to the door of the bedroom that led to the living room where I assumed Goten was cleaning up.
"Pan, what do you mean?" Although I sort of already knew, I was going to let her tell me. If I had to reveal my secret about Sean to get her to tell me, well she doesn't have to know that Sean is really Seventeen. Pan looked at me like she knew I had a secret to tell, I felt a little uneasy. Did my best friend already know that I was sleeping with the enemy? Well not the enemy anymore.
"Bra, why did you break it off with Goten? You are my best friend in the whole world and you didn't tell me why you broke up with him. You didn't even give him a logical explanation." The intense look that she was giving me made me think that even if I didn't answer her, she could find the truth by reading it in my eyes. I smiled weakly and tried to decide where to begin.
"Yes you are my best friend and at the time I really could have used a pair of good ears; but I wasn't in the sharing mood and so no one knows why that happened." I paused and looked at the open bedroom door; I sure didn't want Goten to walk in with me telling Pan that I ran off with another man. I got up off the bed and walked over to the door and closed it. I put my finger to my lips and shushed her to be quiet about our conversation. I went back to the bed and climbed on the bed to lean as close to her as I could.
"Why so secretive? Don't you think that Goten needs to hear this more than I do?" Pan whispered. I really couldn't make her understand that when Sean first stole me away it was against my will.
"Well, the plain and simple explanation to the reason I broke things off with Goten was that I met someone else." Pan's expression never changed and as I had thought; she already knew this. "He, well at first I looked at him with scorn and didn't give him a second glance..."
"His name?" Pan interrupted, I was thinking a mile a minute. She doesn't know Seventeen by any name but Seventeen and as far as I know; he only lets me call him Sean, so what's the harm?
"Sean. His name's Sean..." A knock on the door made me stop and my eyes bulged, Pan rolled her eyes.
"Come in Goten, we're decent." I blushed and Goten stuck his head through the door. He winked at me and smiled at Pan.
"Pan, I'm going to find Trunks and maybe talk his temper down some. Do you want me to tell him anything?" I looked at Pan; her eyebrows were knitted together in thought.
"Tell him that forgiving him will come easy, but right now I don't need any interaction because like him I can not predict my actions. Also tell him that I still love him." The last bit was said with a small shaky voice. Goten bowed his head and came fully into the room; he kneeled beside the bed and took Pan's face in his hands. I rolled my eyes to see the old greeting kiss between the two. He finished and stood back up.
"I'll be back as soon as possible and Bra, make yourself at home." He winked at me again and closed the door behind him as he left the room, a couple of minutes later and the front door closed as well. I looked at Pan and she was already waiting for me to continue my story.
"The first time I seen Sean wasn't great; it was the second time I ran into him that captured me..."
***Flashback***
"Get out of my way you stupid android!" I yelled, this seemed like the fourth time he had run into me, physically, on purpose. He looked at me with those eerie light blue eyes and with his shoulder length dark brown hair the look was just unsettling. He was wearing his usual outfit but without the handkerchief around his neck.
"Please, please, princess; just because you are a princess doesn't give you the right to downgrade the underlings." He smiled again and bowed to me, I was standing in the middle of the street with my mouth hanging wide open. Why was he being so civil? This was one of the androids that had terrorized the city for so long and it had taken my brother, but from the future, to stop them? I was in disbelief.
"Well, please excuse me then, I'm late." I said a little nicer and went to step around him. He countered the move and blocked my way again.
"Princess Bra Brief would honor me and let me take you out tonight?" What in the hell was going on? Was this crack job under a spell of some kind? Surely he knows that my dad would kill him if he so much as winked at me. The smile on his face did seem to be sincere and I had the feeling that he could read my mind as he did wink at me. How was I supposed to let him down graciously?
"Seventeen, uh, that is your name right? No one ever gave you a real name? Any way Seventeen, I would be glad to go out with you if I knew that my dad would approve..." I stopped myself, since when did I allow my dad to approve my boyfriends? He did set me up that once and I swore I would get back at him, but should I use this guy to do that? Oh what the hell, it's not like anyone will know.
"Good then, it's a date." Seventeen said as I was pondering. I looked up and was going to object but he finished with the details. "Well I'll see you tonight at seven o'clock by the watering hole. I know that coming to pick you up at your house would be suicide. Oh, and the name thing, never got around to giving myself a new name. So if you want to call me something else then you come up with the name." I saw the logic he had about the watering hole and was thinking about the name when he smiled again, this time a not so scary one, and walked off. I just stood there until someone honked their horn at me.
***End Flashback***
Of course I left out all the details that would alert Pan that Sean was really Seventeen. I also made up something for the date because I didn't even remember what happened after I arrived at the watering hole with Sean waiting. The look on Pan's face was of deep thought. I expected the worst when she finally looked up.
"So this date happened when exactly? I mean were you still with Goten, or was this when you and him weren't together at all?"
"Actually, it was a week before I broke up with him." I said realizing that I had given Sean only a week to wreck what Goten and I had, had for a couple of years. Why had his love over taken me so much? Why had I not thought about it before? Do I really see myself marrying this guy?
"That is something like I'm going through right now. I mean if Trunks had not done what he did I probably wouldn't be questioning my love for him. I would have gotten married tomorrow and lived my life comfortable but not complete. I don't know what I mean, I realize now that Trunks did not complete me. He wasn't my other half. Do you know what I'm talking about?" The intense glare of her eyes told me she was being serious. I had thought that Pan and Trunks were to two halves of one whole.
"Yes I understand you but I don't think Trunks will. He believes that you are meant to be together for all eternity. That's all he ever talks about lately. The Saiyan Bonding would make you realize that you are meant to be with that one person, if not then you both live out your lives in misery. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Pan looked at me with concern.
"So if you aren't sure that he is the one, the half to your half, and you bond with him; then the bond will tell you that he is or isn't?"
"Yes, like Sean and me. If I was to marry him and then bond with him and it turns out that we aren't soul mates or whatever you call it, then we would live the rest of our lives out in misery because a Saiyan Bond cannot be broken." Pan's eyes registered panic.
"Thank Kami that Trunks and I didn't get married and bonded then, because I was having these feelings before we ever got engaged!"
Oh Kami, what was I thinking telling my father that! I hadn't really thought about it until today. Why was I with Seventeen? Besides being funny, smart, and very sexy, I couldn't think of a sane reason to stay with a man that is part android and not to mention that he use to go around killing and terrorizing the city.
