Raayne Tries

Even though he beat me everyday. He still loved me. I just know it. Well, I am going to go to bed now. Please Kami, watch over mommy, daddy, and my new family and me. Thank you.

Raayne closed her diary and put it underneath her pillow. She leaned over to her nightlight and turned it off. Slowly she laid her head down and fell into a deep sleep, dreaming of the fond memories of when her mother was alive, before she was brutally murdered.
The night passed by and the stars began to fade and the sun began to rise. Pan had lain in bed and thought of a plan for her day. "I think I'm gonna play sick today. I want to get to know this thing that is going to be living in this house now. I just know that twit is up to something," she said quietly as the sun hit her face. The door slammed open and Videl walked in the room still furious from how Pan had acted last night.
"Pan, get up it's time to get ready for school."
"Mom, I'm not feeling too good."
"You were fine last night."
"But I…" She ran to the bathroom and shut the door behind her and quickly pulled out the mix of food she had prepared early that morning so her scheme would work out. As she dumped the mix into the toilet she made the noises of vomiting and quickly hid the can and sprayed some onion and stinky cheese sauce into her mouth so her breath would smell as though she really had thrown up. Videl came running in and saw Pan's throw up and sniffed her breath. She then raised her hand up to Pan's forehead and felt her temperature.
"You may just have the stomach flu. You can stay home, but only today. Tomorrow you are going to school and I don't care if you are dying. You are going."
"Ok, mom." Videl left the bathroom and Pan walked back to her room with a grin on that her mom couldn't see. She got back into bed and listened to her parents talking to Raayne.
"Raayne honey. We'll be back after work, ok? Take care of Pan and make sure she behaves. If she upsets you in anyway just call us. The number is on the fridge. If you can't get a hold of us then call Bulma. She is always home."
"Ok mom. I love you." Videl kissed Raayne on the forehead and headed out the door with Gohan. The door shut behind them and Raayne and Pan both heard the car drive off. Pan got out of bed and went downstairs to get something to eat. She walked down the stairs and didn't even care to look at Raayne when she passed by.
"I thought you weren't feeling good. Shouldn't you stay in bed? I can bring you breakfast."
"I don't want you to do anything for me. I can do it myself. Besides, I'm faking sick today. You tell Gohan or Videl and I'll make sure you'll be sorry." Pan gave a glare to Raayne and all she did was look disappointed. Pan pulled out the hot pockets from the freezer and put them in the microwave to cook. She walked to the living room and turned on the television to watch her anime shows she liked. Raayne was in the kitchen climbing the drawers so that she can get up to the counter and get the cereal. She jumped back down with the cereal in hand and was searching for the bowls and the milk. After searching for about ten minutes, Raayne noticed something was burning. She looked up at the microwave and saw some smoke coming out of it. She quickly ran out to the living room and began to pull on Pan's shirt.
"Pan. Pan! Something is burning in the microwave! There is smoke!" Pan paid no attention to her. "Pan, please. There is smoke"
"Beat it twerp." Pan shrugged Raayne off while still staring at the television. Raayne went to the kitchen and tried to turn off the microwave but didn't know how to. Pan finished watching her show and then went to the kitchen and walked to the microwave to get her hot pockets. She slowly opened the door and immediately a cloud of black smoke and some flames came roaring out.
"Oh shit!!! I'm gonna get killed if mom and dad see this!!!"
"Do you need help Pan?" Raayne said with a look of hope to be accepted even a smidge.
"No! I never want help from a stuck up little piece of crap like you! Now get out of my face!" Pan yelled as she tried to clear the smoke from the microwave. Raayne was heartbroken and started to cry. Tears fled down her face as she lowered her head and slowly walked away. She headed to her room and lay on her bed with her face in her pillow. "Why? Why doesn't sissy like me?" Raayne continued to cry as Pan took out the flame and smoke. Pan cleaned up her mess and decided to make a quick cup of ramen instead. After boiling her water and pouring it in the cup she headed upstairs. She was almost to her room when she saw Raayne asleep on her bed holding a little book. To Pan's curiosity she took the book from Raayne's grasp and took it to her room to read.
"Well this should be an interesting thing to read. Let's see what she wrote." Pan opened the book and started to read about Raayne's past. She flipped through pages about happiness, fear, pain, abuse, mystery, and then she stumbled upon the page about her. "I know that Pan seems really mean but I just want to have one friend. One friend is all I ask for Kami. I hope that can happen. Even if it means going through all of this pain again and again," Pan read to herself quietly. Soon, tears swelled up in her eyes as she read about Raayne's life. "I had no idea." She closed the book and didn't read another word fearing that she would reveal what kind of person she was looking like to others. "I guess I should give her a second chance, or attempt to try to let her into my life." Pan got up and walked quietly back to Raayne's room to put the book back where she found it. She walked in and placed the book in Raayne's hand and left as quiet as possible. "Pan?"
"Yeah squirt."
"Why don't you like me?" she said with a yawn and a tear still in her eye.
"It's not that I don't like you. It's just that you came into the family at a moment where I couldn't adjust to things so well. Dad brought you here when I was, and still am, a little rebellious towards him and mom. They just didn't understand me and thought you would be someone I could get along with."
"Oh, ok."
"Raayne, do you want to play some games or something?" Raayne's eyes widened with happiness as she heard these words come out of her mouth. She shot out of bed and threw her arms around Pan giving her a huge hug. "Hey that's going to fast. I didn't completely say you were my sister, but you're ok." Pan got up after prying Raayne off of her. The two went into Pan's room and they hooked up their Nintendo system and began to play games. They played for hours and hours and before they knew it, mom and dad were home.
"Oh shit!"
"What is it Pan?"
"Mom and dad are home and I didn't get to finish cleaning the burn stuff in the kitchen!"
"Don't worry. I got it covered." Raayne left Pan's room and headed down the stairs to the front door to greet their mom and dad and when they walked in the house the first thing they said was, "Pan! I smell something burnt now you get your ass down here and fix it before I beat you!" "Dad."
"Yes Raayne."
"Pan didn't burn the food that you smell."
"Then who did?"
"It was me. I'm sorry. I wanted to make some hot pockets and thought I could handle it on my own but I couldn't. Then Pan asked if we could play video games together and I did but forgot all about my mess. I'm sorry."
"Oh honey it's ok. I forgive you. We'll clean it up for you."
"Ok." Raayne ran back upstairs into Pan's room and told Pan everything that happened. Pan was shocked that Raayne took the blame for it. Then get away with it. The night progressed on and the two continued playing together until it grew dark and it was time to sleep. Raayne said her goodnights and went to bed, and Pan went to sleep as well.

I'm sorry it took so long for me to update but things have been going on and it's been hard to write. School, parents, groundings, things like that. Anyway, I hope to have chapter 10 up sooner than it took me to post this. Find out in chapter 10 what happens at school when Pan returns.
