The Perfect Life – Chapter 2
"Yes mom… I asked Gohan and he said he and Videl are okay with it." Trunks pulled out Videl's' card and handed it to his mother. Bulma read the card as a tear slowly slid down her cheek. She handed the card back to him and hugged her son tightly. "Trunks I'm so proud of you. When's the big moment?" Bulma let go of her son and her jumped off the table. "I was hopping tonight. I promised to take her to see fire works on the hillside. The one Goku and his family used to live on. Their old house was demolished and now I feel it's a very romantic spot. I took Bra there this past July 4th and the view of fire works is awesome. No one else knows about it, well, you know what I mean." Trunks got so excited he did not realize he was babbling. But his mother followed every word. Unfortunately, since sayians have good hearing, Vegeta moved from the Gravity room and was now stealth mood outside the lab window. Vegeta hid his ki so well; Trunks did not realize his father was being a peeping tom again. "Well you have to get ready. New Year festivities start in 10 hours and the countdown is in 15 hours. And you have to stop acting like your father and swallow your pride and get working on your speech." Bulma started pushing Trunks out of the lab and up to his room. Vegeta stood outside the window with a cold look in his eyes. "How dare that woman talk about me behind my back! I'm the Prince of all sayians! Why I ought…" His thoughts were interrupted when his daughter called to him. "Daddy!" Bra came running threw the snow around the corner to where her father was standing. Vegeta's cold glare turned into a gentle stare as his daughter came running towards him. She may be an adult now, but she will always be his little girl. His pride and joy. "What" Vegeta turned to face her just as she reached him. "Number one, you said no getting involved with Trunks problems. And number two are you and mom still taking me to the festivals tonight?" Bra put on her most pleading puppy dogface, which could have stopped Frieza dead in his tracks and melt into a pile of mush. "Umm… As far as I know…" Vegeta was frozen by Bra's glare. She got it from her mother. "Thank you daddy!" Bra jumped up and kissed her father on the cheek then headed back inside to look for an outfit to where. "Damn! How the hell does that little girl do that?" Vegeta walked towards the front door with a confused look on his face.
~*~ Pan's House ~*~
Pan was rushing around trying to get ready for her date with Trunks. It was the first time they were going to stay out on a date way past midnight, plus, her father does not have a say in this date since she no longer lives in his house. She smiled at the thought of having her own place. So she did not buy it, her grandfather, Hercules Satan, bought it for her. "Thank you gramps!" Pan ran around trying to find her hairbrush. "I swear I left it right here on the bathroom…" Pan stopped dead in her tracks when she realized she left her brush in her bag, which she left in Trunks' car, which Bra borrowed the other day when they went shopping at the mall. "YIKES!" She ran from the bathroom with her pink bathrobe flowing behind her. With one hand, she held her towel on her head as she headed for her closet. She stood in her Sears dressing room sized closet. "Let me see, where is it?" Pan quickly got dressed in her old outfit, which her parents knew and loved. She stood in front of her full-length mirror admiring herself with her towel still on her head. Her black caprice pants and red tee shirt fit very nicely now that she's older. The clothes are not loses anymore like they were when she was younger. They fit tightly, but good up against her fit body. Being ¼ Saiya-jin, she exercises often at the gym. Pan turned slightly and looked in the mirror again before slipping on her black shoes and removing the towel. Her hair was a mess. "I hope mom has a hair brush I can borrow." Pan grabbed her purse and a blue Capsule Corp. hat she stole of Trunks' head one day, and ran out the door. "I need to get something for my mom for letting me borrow her favorite outfit."
~*~ Gohan's House ~*~
"It sure has been lonely here ever since pan moved into her own house." Videl slowly moved closer to her husband on the couch. "I just can't believe your father bought her that house. It's huge! My mother almost had a heart attack when she first saw it. It's a beautiful Victorian mansion with its own private ocean side beach." Gohan looked up from his newspaper and almost jumped off the sofa when he saw his wife right next to him. "Videl!" Videl giggled, as Gohan started to hit her with is newspaper. In defense, she grabbed the book she was reading and beat him with it until they were a tangled mess on the floor with a good share of brushes each. After they untangled themselves, Videl managed to move closer and rest her head on Gohan's chest. "Videl? Do you think I'm doing the right thing?" He propped his head up on his arms. "Don't tell me your having second guesses?" Videl moved her position so that she was now on top of her husband and looking him in the eyes while propping her self up on her elbows. "Its just… she's my little girl and it's hard. For me." Videl looked into her husband's eyes. Something in her eyes made Gohan realized that he had to give his daughter away. He trusted Trunks. He has known Trunks just about his whole life. "My father had the same problem. You remember, our wedding was postponed for a week because he was so scared to give me away to some one who was stronger then him. But your different, I know you'll make the right decision before tonight. Pan's coming by to borrow my red outfit for tonight's special date with Trunks. You can either stop her from going and act like my father, or smile as she walks out the door with Trunks arm in arm." Videl stood up and went to go dig out the outfit for pan and prepare the other accessories.
Around six o'clock, Gohan walked up to the front window when he heard something in the driveway. He saw a red Porsche pull in. "Pans' here!" He called up to his wife who was resting in their room. Gohan opened the door as Pan ran up the newly plowed driveway to great her father. "Daddy!" Pan jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly. "Hey sweetie, we've missed you here." Pan giggled as she kissed her father on the cheek. "Hello my little one." Pan turned and saw her mother slowly coming down the stairs. It takes very long time for age to catch up to a Saiya-jin, but it was catching up on her mother slowly. "Mom!" Pan ran to her mother. It was almost six months since she last saw her parents at the annual Son & Briefs Family Reunion. "Everything is upstairs honey come on." Videl led Pan upstairs and down the hall towards her room. Halfway down the hall, Pan stopped by her old room. It seamed like just yesterday, she was packing her bags and moving out. But that day was almost 8 months ago. Videl notices Pan has stopped and turns around to see Pan standing in front of her old room door. "Go ahead sweetie, you can go in, it's your room after all." Videl walked into her room and Pan hesitated for a moment but then went in. Her blue walls and white carpet brought back funny memories. She sat down on her bed and looked around at the posters and all her old toys. She picked up a small teddy bear that was lying on her pillow. It was the bear her grandfather, Goku, gave her when she was born. She cherished it more then anything. She replaced the bear on the pillow and walked around. She did her best to fight back tears. She knew her whole life one day she would have to leave, but she feared it sometimes and then others she couldn't wait. Until that day came…
