Once too many

Chapter two

Disclaimer:

A/N: Sorry I can't update as fast as I used to.

"We were just mucking around!" Trunks replied nervously. The two of them were sitting in his room talking. The silence was too much for him and he could no longer take it. "What's got you all pissed?" The nervousness was replaced with a sense of curiosity.

"It's nothing!" Kayla forced herself to smile but inside she was seething with jealousy. "I've just had a bad day, that's all." The smile on her lips stayed the same. "I thought you were working in the office. Remember how you said you couldn't spend the day with me because you had a ton of work." Her eyes flashed an angry red for a split second.

"I did but I forgot some papers at home so I had to come back to get them so I decided to do the rest here. Why do you ask. Are you jealous of me and Pan?" He gave a smirk.

"No!" She had a frown on her face. "I was just saying that's all. I don't care if you want to muck around with that child."

He sighed before standing up and going over, giving her a hug. "Don't call her that. She's one of my best friends. We've known each other for ages. She was just helping me, that's all."

"Then what am I? Am I just one of your best friends?" She was giving him a glare now.

"No, you're my fiancé. Soon to be wife to be more exact. Is that what you wanted to hear?" He lifted an eyebrow.

"Yes, I feel much better now." The girl gave a pout and kissed him on the cheek.

"Now tell me the truth. Are you jealous of me and Pan? Do you think there's something going on between the two of us?" She gave him a glare. "I'm only joking!" He laughed. "Besides, you know I love you!" This time she gave a satisfied nod with his answer.

o

"Hey Bra, do you reckon Kayla hates me or something?" Pan asked with a frown. "I mean she has this look every time she sees me. Like one of those 'move it bitch' looks." She scrunched her face and imitated the 'look'.

Bra laughed lightly and continued to flick through the magazine. "There's no such look you idiot." She gave the girl another stare before laughing again. "Maybe she sees you as a threat. You know, to her relationship with Trunks." She put the magazine on the bed and sat up straight.

"That's disgusting Bra. He's one of my best friends. I mean, what the hell is she thinking?" The girl pretended to vomit. "That's just gross. I'm with Mike and we're happy. I wouldn't marry him if he was the last guy on earth and I don't mean it in that way. It's just, no one is suppose to think of us in that way."

"I wouldn't be so sure Pan-chan. If he was the tenth guy left on the earth you would marry him. Now that you think about it, you two make a pretty cute couple. I can see it now, my best friend's wedding…with my brother." She laughed and a tear rolled down her face. "I love that movie, have you seen it?"

"Yeah I've seen it. More like a thousand times rather than once. Now stop laughing, I'm being serious. I need some helpful advice." Pan lay down on the floor.

"Okay, I'll give you some advice. Sticks and stones can break your bones but words can never harm you. Keep that in mind." She gave a smirk.

"How did you think of that. You aren't the type to give out advice. I mean you can't even tell a bean from a nut." She laughed as Bra pouted. "I was joking but seriously, tell me."

"Actually I just read it in this magazine." Bra gave a sheepish laugh as Pan fell over in shock. "But I can still give out good suggestions you know. If you don't believe me then go ask my dad. He gives out great advice. I know from experience."

Pan rolled her eyes. "You probably had a boy problem and he told you to just leave it to him, didn't he?"

"Yeah, how did you know?" The aqua-haired girl asked. She seemed both surprised yet interested.

"Did the guy end up beaten and looking like shit the next day?" She asked. Amusement was written all over her face.

"Okay, okay. I admit he may be extreme when it comes to solving these solutions but you've got to admit it worked in the end. I felt better because they looked ugly and I got over them." Pan groaned her disapproval and made her way to the door.

"Yeah, whatever. Thanks a lot but I'm going to go train with Vegeta now so see you later."

o

"Hey Vegeta. Can I train with you?" Pan asked as she walked through the gravity room. He gave a grunt and she assumed it meant yes.

"What do you want brat?" He asked her.

"I wanted to get your advice on something. I'm having problems with somebody, actually they have a problem with me and I don't know what to do about it." She sighed and continued to block his punches.

"Leave it to me and he'll be gone before you know it!" The man said gruffly.

"What makes you think it's a he and I don't want her dead." She pouted.

"Oh!" Vegeta replied in a disappointed tone.

Pan raised an eyebrow. "Who did you think I was talking about? Who did you want to kill."

"I don't have to answer to you!" He snapped before trapping her with a series of beams. The blasts exploded and she fell to the ground. "You're still to weak. That stupid boy you call your boyfriend is wasting your time. You spend all your time with him when you should be training."

"I still train!" She sulked. "Just not as much as before. It doesn't mean I'm weak."

"You're right!" Vegeta said calmly.

"I'm what?" Pan asked again. He never ever admitted he was wrong, even when he was in actual fact wrong. This was a extraordinary occasion worth remembering. She had to make sure she had heard right.

"You're right, you aren't weak. You're really weak." He gave a smirk as she sulked again. All her thoughts of treasuring this moment was flushed down the drain. "You thought I was going to admit I was wrong huh?" She nodded her head and he laughed. "Fat chance!"

"Yeah, you're right. Bulma said you were arrogant. Could never really admit you were wrong. Had some mental problems, you know." She looked in another direction as he grew red with anger.

"She said that?" He asked her. Pan nodded her head. "Where is that woman?" He shouted as he stormed out of the room and into the house. She gave a grin at being able to fool him so easily.

"Men, they never learn!" She chuckled.

o

"So Goten, what's up?" Trunks asked happily as the two sat down at the table in the restaurant. "Having problems. You know that's the only reason you ever come to me." He laughed as Goten gave him a glare.

"No reason. Can't I just have a friendly chat with my best friend. Is that a problem." Trunks raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Okay, okay I came to you with a problem which I'm not sure you're going to be able to fix."

They began to eat the food which was served to them.

"What do you mean I won't be able to fix. I've always solved all your problems. Remember when Paris dumped you, I helped you two get back together." He gave a grin.

"Well okay then, I want to ask this girl out but I'm not sure she likes me and we're good friends so if she does say no then everything will be over. What should I do?" Goten gave him a forced smile.

"It would help if you gave me her name you know!" Trunks laughed.

"Okay but you promise not to shout?" He gave his friend a serious look which meant it was probably serious.

"Okay!" The man sighed.

Goten leaned in to whisper who it was. Trunks spat out the food he was eating and nearly choked when he heard who it was. Almost everyone in the restaurant was giving him a weird look. He drank a glass of water to wash the rest of it down. "You like my sister?" He whispered trying to believe what he had just heard. Instead of being angry like Goten had expected him to be he laughed. "You idiot, my dad is so going to kill you. Have you seen all the other guys she's dated. They weren't so lucky when he found out." Goten gave him a glare.

"You were suppose to help me, not tell me what I already know. Of course he's going to kill me but I mean besides that, what if she doesn't even like me." Trunks gave Goten a sympathetic look then another smirk.

"Don't worry, I have a feeling she would jump at the chance to date you." He reassured his friend by giving him a pat on the back.

"How do you know?" Goten cocked an eyebrow. "Has she physically come up to you and said she likes a guy named Goten." He replied in a sarcastic tone.

"Well yeah!" Goten looked up with a surprised expression. Trunks laughed as his friend realized his joke. "She didn't, did she?" He shook his head and laughed.

o

"Yeah Bra?" Pan sat down under the tree and sighed. "You pulled me from training so something must be bothering you. The girl still continued to stay quiet. "I'm leaving if you don't answer me."

"Okay, but promise you won't tell anybody." She said quickly.

"Sure, I'll keep your secret." Pan was trying to keep a straight face. This problem must've been real serious if she was unwilling to share it so quickly.

"It's been bothering me for quite some time now but I think I have feelings for Goten." Pan gave her a hard long stare trying to see if this was some joke. She couldn't contain the laughter and cracked up laughing. "I'm serious Pan."

"Yeah, I know you are. It's just so funny. You and my Uncle." The girl shook her head in concentration and tried to put her thoughts into words. "When did this happen. When did you start having 'feelings' for him." She emphasized the word feeling.

"It happened after the Christmas party last year. Remember how my mom always hosts a party for every single occasion. Well it happened then but I didn't really pay much attention to it and now I don't know what to think." Bra shook her head in annoyance.

"He has feelings for you too!" Pan stated simply.

"Don't make fun of me okay." She said in an upset voice.

"I'm not joking. I've never told anyone this before but he calls your name at night. In fact I think he dreams about you. There was this one time I was visiting my grandma and she told me to go wake him up. I went in and he was tossing and turning, calling your name." Pan had a solemn look.

"You're joking right?" Bra was blushing like mad but calmed herself when Pan said nothing.

Then the silence was no more as she erupted in laughter. Bra shook her head and realized she was joking. This only reminded her of Trunks. My stupid brother she thought to herself.

"Don't worry, I'll help you two get together." The girl said in a comforting voice.

There'll be a little more T/P in the next chapter when they work together to hook up Bra and Goten. I've got this story all planned out so yeah…Anyway, please R&R.
