A/N: Sorry for not updating, but you know the excuses: Too much school work. Not for me! It was easy, but I was just lazy. Nobody's perfect. And I'm far from it; my friends remind me every day. Just for any young readers: there's some harsh language.
Disclaimer: I claim no ownership as I claim no excuses.
The breakfast had gone exquisitely. However, his morning was quite contrary. Here he was at the castle once more; bored as always. Yet, his reason for boredom was due to a lack of effort on his mother's part to give him work, nor his father's who offered to "beat his ass" for not checking in and worrying his mother. This boredom wasn't even to be blamed on his sister. She's offered plenty of times for him to take her shopping; she's even said she'd "allow" him to go to a store of his own picking. His boredom was his fault. He took up on none of these marvelous offerings, but rather chose to sit and contemplate his new relationship.
Now, don't get me wrong; this relationship fascinated him. He'd never gone this long into a relationship without "fucking" the girl. Not only that, but this woman hadn't even offered herself. She's allowed him to touch her, but then everyone seemed to, even the married women. These women excluded his mother, sister, grandmother, and other relatives of course. He'd never dream of touching them and he hoped they felt the same.
But this woman; she was like a brain teaser. He thought he had her figured: trying to be difficult at first; then hard to get; then he wondered for awhile if she were oblivious, but now he wondered to the truth of any of those. "Who is this woman and how can she cause so much uncertainty in me?"
"Lalalala" She skipped down the hall; much to her mistress's disgust.
"Princess, stop that skipping. You know how childish you look when you do that. Your mother will be quite disappointed in the habits you're forming. Perhaps it's the result of those "city" kids you've been associating with?"
Bra looked up at the tall woman who reminded her of a crow with glasses: black straw hair; black eyes; a very long and pointy nose; and long limbs and fingers. How can this woman be anything, but that? She questioned herself before imperiously replying, "You're quite mistaken. Mother loves skipping and technically I'm still a child; so why not "enjoy it while I can" as you always say? And those "city" kids as you call them are much more sophisticated than I am. Their parents believe that they should act classy to impress me and the rest of my family."
"It's "the rest of my family and I" not the other way around." The woman interrupted Bra's rant.
"In any case," Bra continued as if she hadn't noticed the interruption. "I don't "associate" with these kids. I hang with them. You should really familiarize yourself with these terms. Or you're never going to be able to keep up with the modern society."
"Princess, where are we going?" The woman asked as they took another turn down a seemingly endless hall.
"Oh, nowhere special; just to go bother Trunks. See if maybe he's talking to himself again. And if he is, then it's prolly…"
"Probably."
"Yes, prolly about where he was last night. Not that I'd tell father if I knew. Maybe I won't even black mail him into taking me to the mall. Especially if it's about Pan. I wouldn't want to spoil this relationship for him. She seemed to be a very nice girl with spunk. That'll be good for Trunks. Plus she's honest, caring, and so on."
Bra continued to ramble on until she reached a set of double doors with intricate swirls done in a passionate blue color. She stopped her drastic hand movements to knock on the door in what the mistress would call "unladylike." Her knock went unanswered though, so she took the liberty of letting herself in. It was better this way anyway. Trunks wouldn't know she was here and would let on to more information for her gossip-ready mind to soak up.
Pan skipped through the halls of work. She was quite the happy woman after all. She'd met her "prince charming", who ironically enough was a very charming prince and she'd gotten a bonus from work for her diligence. If that was what they wanted to call it. As she'd told Yume many times before, "I don't consider playing games all day hard work, but if they're willing to pay me for doing so, then by God, I'll do it!"
"Hey Yume!" Pan said as she strolled into their office. "Today's wonderful, isn't it? I mean the sun is shining.." Pan glanced outside the window at the dark sky and torrents of rain. "Okay, maybe it's not shining, but today's a good day, regardless of whether or not it's beautiful."
"Alrighty then. I'm going to ask this once and only once: What the hell are you on?" Yume retorted to Pan's singing, while busily running a little man in a jump suit across the computer screen to get to a bowl… of what she couldn't tell.
Pan giggled excitedly and considered her options. She could a) tell Yume a ridiculously silly answer that she was on love or b) tell Yume she was on Novocain. She decided "b" was the better of the two: it required the least amount of explanations. "Nothing much, just Novocain. I went to the dentist."
"Oh." Yume replied dejectedly. "And I was so hoping for something interesting to distract me from work."
Pan laughed once more. "Alright. I guess I can tell you the truth. I'm currently running high on Love!" Pan replied excitedly.
The expected actions from Yume soon followed. "OH MY GOD! You got a hot date? And before you ask: he has to be hot, otherwise he wouldn't dare go for you. What's his name? Where's he from? Is he nice? A biker? Or is he a good boy? What about his parents? The mom had best be nice. Wouldn't want a horrible mother-in-law."
Pan allowed her to rattle on for a moment, until she got to the mother-in-law. "Woah! Yume! We're not getting married just yet. We've hardly even started dating. If it can even be called dating. I'll tell you all that I know about him if you give me just a second. That is assuming you don't already know the majority of this stuff. I'd be shocked if you didn't. but who knows. Seeing as to how you're not a big fan of this man as most of the planet is."
"Pan, you're killing me. Just tell me who he is already!" Yume was poised and ready to leap up and dance around the room excitedly, but what she heard made her stop for a few seconds.
"His name's Trunks Vegeta Briefs." However, this was only for a short time. They were soon jumping around the room gleefully.
"Five minutes!" A man shouted into the room before walking away with a bewildered look on his face.
"That guy's weird. Reminds me of that commercial they always play at the movies." Pan said with the same bewildered look on her face.
"Oh! I know what you're talking about. Those concession guys! They're my heroes!"
Pan laughed at her ridiculous friend before, "We have to get going. The meeting is in five minutes. Don't want to be late to another meeting. Boss might get mad again."
Yume nodded her head and the duo left the room.
"Aaaaah! What the hell are you doing in here!" Trunks yelled as his sister waltzed into his room like she owned it. Then again she did that with everything, acted like she owned it, that is. "I was busy, can't you tell?"
"Oh I can tell. And now I know where you were and why. You dirty dirty boy. I can't believe you slept over at her house on the first date. Tsk tsk. I knew you were going out with her last night, but I would have thought you'd have the decency to let her have the first night to herself."
"Shut up! It wasn't like that. We were only sleeping."
"Uh huh! I know what you were really doing!" Trunks turned a very dark shade of red. "How can you blush when I say that. You've had sex so many times. I don't see why it bothers you to talk about it. Oh well…"
"Really, Bra. I don't think I could do that with her just yet. She's more important than the rest. It's hard to imagine, but she is. And I hardly know her." Trunks sighed and leaned back once more on his pillows.
Bra came over and sat on the edge of his bed. "Huh. That's sweet. Where'd my teacher go? She must have left right after we came in. She so polite. Much more than I am. Oh well! Hope everything works out with you and Pan! Love ya, Bro!" Bra kissed Trunks on the cheek the left the way she came in.
