Chapter 13: Announcement
SSSS
Days turned to weeks, and soon blurred into months. The seasons changed and everyone grew a little bit more, both mentally and physically. Soon the months had become a year, and it was summer vacation again.
Pan and Bra were soon going to be in high school, which was tenth grade. Both were turning sixteen this year, and Bra was very close to her sweet sixteen. Marron was seventeen, and was a soon-to-be-junior. Everything from last year seemed to be a bad dream, but it was as real as the grass on the ground and the birds in the sky.
The three had managed to avoid the subject when interviewed by reporters, after a few tournament wins. They always asked of their training over the last summer, but the girls didn't say anything. It wasn't their business, so they merely replied "No comment." Even afterwards, many reporters still pushed the issue, but it was a mystery to them. No one would tell what had happened, especially not the Silver Dragons.
So the subject was left alone. If they weren't going to get their information, they were going to leave it alone. Only a few knew of what had happened that summer in the middle of nowhere, and no one else was going to find out.
So here the girls were, the first week of summer and they were inside the Son's dojo. They sat around and talked, and their training was rare. Although they, supposedly, got over their infatuations, that didn't mean they were ready to be what they once were. They took back their old lives with open arms, but hesitated when it came to opening back up to anyone.
Their friends wondered what was wrong with them because they with drew themselves from them. They weren't as close as the three of them, they knew, but it didn't mean they weren't so far that they rarely talked. Their once good friends had wondered what had happened to change them so, and yet the girls couldn't answer. They couldn't explain what had happened to them one year ago.
As for our three heroines, they had been able to crawl their ways upwards out of the bottomless pit of love. Of course, none of them would probably ever reach the top, but they just wanted to find a way to stop from falling forever.
Pan, Bra and Marron were leisurely lying in the family room, watching T.V. They really didn't care about what was on, they just needed to keep doing something to help distract them. It had gotten easier to ignore their inner battles, so they did their best trying to be normal teens.
Needless to say, people noticed. But no one asked about it. The people of the city were meddlesome when it came to others' business, but they'd never get anything out of these girls. If anyone ever found out about what happened last year, do you know how many stories were going to fly around? Not to mention the rumors and the talking behind their backs?
No. Our young teenagers didn't want that. They merely wished to blend into their old lives, and they were starting to get back into their former routines.
"GIRLS!!!!!" Gohan's voice called to the Silver Dragons, and their attention immediately went to the doorway. He rushed towards them, coming into the room with Videl, ChiChi and Goku in tow.
"Gohan? What are you yelling about? I could hear you from outside!!!!!" Videl huffed at her husband, and he smiled his innocent Son grin.
"Look at what the girls got. I didn't open it, but it's important. Its from the World's Martial Arts Association," was his reply, and quickly handed the note to the eager schoolgirls.
Opening it up carefully, Marron and Bra stared at it, reading every word to make sure they didn't miss anything. Pan read it out loud to her family, her eyes getting bigger with each sentence.
SxSxSx Letter SxSxSx
To The Silver Dragons:
We would like to congratulate your success throughout the world. Your reputation as some of the greatest, and youngest, martial artists the world has ever seen astounds us. We've done a thorough search of all your past accomplishments and we are very impressed with what you've achieved.
We hereby announce that the three have you have reached the top level in martial arts. We hope that you will accept your title and compete in the World Tournament on June 30th. There you will be able to finally claim what you have worked so hard to fulfill.
We wish to see you join us there.
SxSxSx End Letter SxSxSx
"Oh Kami..." Marron murmured, while Pan and Bra were left in awe at the letter's contents. Goku was dancing around, very proud of the girls, Gohan joining him. ChiChi was a bit upset, mumbling about how this was going to mess with their schoolwork. Videl stated silent, pondering the tournament.
She knew that, if the girl's went, then talking to Trunks, Goten and Uubu was imminent. She wasn't sure if they were ready for such a grueling war between them. They were just barely recovering. But if they didn't compete, they might lose their claim on their brand new calling. It was a lose-lose situation, basically.
Of course the girls had though of this as well. Once their reverie was broken, they couldn't help but let their brains run over the possibilities. Each of them knew they couldn't face their previous Masters, not yet, not when their wounds were still raw. It hurt to just think of them. They couldn't face Trunks, Goten and Uubu. Everything they worked so hard to maintain would break all over again.
But not going meant giving up the one thing they worked so hard for. To attain something that only the chosen could achieve. All three of them poured sweat and blood into their work. It would kill them if they tried to hold themselves back. They couldn't compete with the minors anymore. They'd hurt someone.
"We're doing it," Pan mumbled, and her friends stared at her, wide-eyed with fear. Pan was the one hurt most, they knew. She put her trust solely on Trunks, and he killed it with a rage in her heart. Why was she so willing to go through with this?
She gave them a look, and they shivered at what was in her eyes.
Cold, sadistic revenge.
That was what she wanted, and that was what she would get. She would have his head on a platter if that were what Pan wanted. But she wouldn't hurt him. At least... not physically anyway. But Pan was an overwhelming manipulator when the mind was her victim, and she'd use everything she had to bend and break Trunks Briefs...

Xx June 23rd xX
They arrived a week earlier so they'd have time to sightsee before the whole tournament. They didn't want to walk around after getting hit and hitting other practitioners of the arts. Their parents would go to their own hotel, but would arrive the day of the tournament.
So, after checking into their hotel, Pan, Bra and Marron walked to around for a bit. They knew where the pool, lobby, restaurants, exercise area, spa and steam room and other places around the inn. But as soon as they were about to check out the outside areas, they were called to a press conference. All of the teams were to report to the ballroom for their public statements.
As Pan, Bra and Marron soon found their designated place and walked into the noisy room. Upon seeing the door open, every reporter stared at the new team, and decided it was their turn for an interview. They immediately charged towards the three girls, their attention leaving whoever was on the stage.
Bolting in three different directions, Pan, Bra and Marron took off. They weren't some of the fastest fighters on Chikyuu-sei for nothing! Everyone watched as the girls effortlessly dashed past the mob, and onto the stage, their innocent little smirks all for show. These three were good at what they did, and knew it a little too well.
Questions shot at the young women, and they answered patiently. Many teams were backstage, surprised by the younger girls' appearance. They had no idea they had moved into their ranks, and so young as well. Everyone couldn't help but admire the ease in each girl's auras. It was like they asked petty questions every day.
"What are you three doing here? I heard this was an 'Elites Only' tournament," a bitchy redhead (nothing against them! I have nothing AGAINST redheads!!!) asked, snubbing the younger girls like they were some ally- cats.
Glaring, Marron replied, "We are elites, lady. So get your attitude out of my face!" She smiled triumphantly as she looked at the older women's enraged eyes, but didn't reply. To insult an Elite is committing suicide, and she didn't wish to die just yet.
"Since when have you been three been Leaders in the M.A. (martial arts) world?" a stout man asked.
"We claimed our title by just coming to compete," was Bra's answer.
More questions went around, and someone was about to ask the last issue for the meeting. It was simple, but crucial.
"What are your plans for the future?"
Looking at each other carefully, Pan took it upon herself to explain their decision. Although a tough one, she would have to make it.
"We plan on competing here and then..." she took a deep breath for courage and continued, saying, "... then we plan on retiring for a few years..."
Many questions immediately shot out of the crowd, but none were heard. The girls had walked away, behind the ruby curtain that was placed behind them.
As the girls walked on, many stares followed them. Some were encouraging them on a job well done, that they could make it this far. The other half were jealous, spiteful because of the girl's who were so young, but so powerful. They were walking towards the exit, and their bodies hit the wall.
'Wait...?' Pan though, 'Walls aren't this warm...'
Pulling away quickly, Pan's eyes met glaring sapphire eyes.
Each girl gasped at what the "walls" were. Trunks, Goten and Uubu blocked their only escape route. Irritated, but attractive, faces were etched with anger, making the girls squirm a bit under their gaze.
"Oh shit..." was all that got out of Pan's mouth...

AN: MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! I'm so evil! EVIL! EVIL! EVIL!!!!! And none of you will get to know what will happen until I finish updating my other stories. It's going to be a while, so I hope you're all patient!!!!!
Chapter Preview: The Silver Dragons have finally met up with their "Masters" from last year. What kind of conversation will ensue? Hate? Betrayal? Jealousy? And when they're done talking, what does Pan have up that sleeve of hers...?
You guys don't know, but I do!!!!
Well, chow for now!
