Disclaimer: Sorry I would like to but I don't…lolz

A/N: I'm soooo sorry for not updating for ages. We moved and like with all my studies I didn't have anytime and then when I finally did I wrote a couple of chapters one night and we got this virus and like everything was deleted…then when I decided I was going to write it again exams came up…Well you know, I wasn't going to finish this story but then I saw reviews and the back of my mind was feeling guilty so then I decided that I had to do it or else I'd regret it…lolz it's a pathetic excuse but its true…once again sooo sorry/(--)\

Pan stood at the door of the Brief's residence. She got her hand and rang the doorbell. As usual Bra would be taking forever.

"COMING," A voice screamed from inside.

She shook her head and smiled. After waiting for another minute or so the door opened. The young girl turned her hear to greet her friend but frowned instead as she noticed it was Trunks.

"Errr…hey Pan, Bra was taking a while so she made me go and open the door." He greeted her awkwardly. She nodded her head but made no attempt to be polite. Instead she walked past him and went into the house. As she made her way in, Trunks noticed a diamond ring glinting from her finger. She noticed he was looking and quickly shoved her hands into the pocket of her jeans. He couldn't help but feel a little mad but only pretended to keep being happy.

"Hey Pan!" Bra laughed as she walked down the stairs.

"Hey yourself," Pan grinned.

The two of them were about to walk out the door when Bra turned around to face her brother.

"We're going shopping, care to come along Trunks?" She offered sweetly. Pan and Trunks both raised an eyebrow at the sudden change of plans.

He stood there and thought about it before grinning. "Sure, I guess. I mean that's if it's okay with Pan…" All heads turned around to Pan and she turned slightly red. She wasn't about to start talking to him if it wasn't necessary.

"Whatever!" She said in her serious tone before making her way to Bra's car.

"What are you trying to do?" Trunks hissed after she was out of ear shot. "Are you trying to make her hate me more or what?"

"Relax, I know what I'm doing so chill out." Bra replied coolly. "By the way, did you see that cute ring on her finger?"

He glared at her until she started to laugh. "Yes I noticed thank you very much." He stormed out the door to wait by the car. His ki rose a bit but she had shrugged that off.

Bra knew he felt something for Pan but he was confused and after she had seen him last night with the lost look, her suspicions were confirmed. It was true and nearly everyone could see it except him. He loved Pan with all his heart and maybe the reason he never saw it was because she had always been there for him to love. He couldn't differentiate between like and love and she found it funny.

"That stupid baka doesn't know anything," she muttered before locking the door and joining the other two who were as far away from each other as possible.

Trunks and Pan stood outside the toilets, waiting for Bra to finish up, she was taking awfully long and they seemed to get even more edgy. He kept looking at her finger which the ring was situated upon and she kept glaring at him every time she caught him looking.

"You're making a mistake you know," he whispered softly.

Pan simply turned red with anger. "How dare you tell me I am making a mistake!" she scowled. "What would you know about love anyway? You wouldn't know love if it bit you and the way I feel for my fiancé is none of your concern because I love him very much."

"Do you love him as much as you love me?" He asked softly.

She froze and stood there for a moment unable to say anything. "I don't love you; I don't know what you're talking about." She muttered.

"Then look me in the eye and tell me you don't love me." He had started walking towards her now. He lifted her chin up very gently and noticed a tear dripping from her face. Using his hand he wiped it away. "I know that you love me, which you always have. I guess having you around for so long I never realized I loved you as well. You mean the world to me and I don't want you out of my life. You don't really love him Pan; you've only known him for a couple of months."

Something triggered inside her and suddenly she was angry again. Getting her hand she swatted his hand away and began to run. At this very moment Bra chose to return and opened the door to reveal a very stunned looking Trunk.

"Oh no, what did you do?" The girl asked in surprise. "I leave you with her for one minute and the next thing you know she's run away." She glared at him. Trunks was about to object to this but she started laughing. "I'm joking Trunks, I'm sure it was nothing. Just tell me what you said to her?"

"Well I told her I loved her and she kin-" he began to say.

"You did what?" Bra asked, trying to register it. She blinked a couple of times in surprise.

"I…" He began to start again.

"Yeah I heard you the first time," she was lost in thought and he stood there in silence waiting for her to continue talking. "Well in my opinion she thinks you don't really love her and the reason you say that is because it's sort of like a rebound thing. Like the relationship between you and Marron has sort of like ended and she thinks you're converting your feelings for your ex over to her."

"What did you just say?" He asked confusedly.

She laughed loudly. "Girls are pretty complicated aren't they?" He was about to respond when she cut him off for the third time in a row. "Well I'm not really sure what you can do. We all know she's stubborn as."

"Hey will you just let me talk?" He asked loudly. She nodded her head and stifled her laughter. "It's just a while ago-" Trunks stopped talking. "Wait, you aren't going to tell anyone this are you?" She gave it some thought. "BRA!"

"Relax; I'm only pulling your leg again." She grinned.

He sighed in relief. "It's just a while ago she asked me something and I promised her I would. She asked me when I fell in love would I tell her. I told her she would be the first one to know. Well now I've fallen for her and I can't even tell her."

"Oh wow, that's real deep," Bra said quietly. "Maybe you should do one of those things where you pretend you're dying and then when she comes to spend your last remaining hours alive with you, you can tell her. Although when you do she'll hate you after she finds out you've been lying and then it will get even worse. Then again it could be the very opposite and she could be all concerned over you and forgive you because she was so in love with you and glad she's not losing you."

The two of them looked at each other and shook their heads. Pan wasn't like that and everyone knew it.

I can't believe I'm asking my little sister for advice Trunks thought to himself. Out of all the people in the world it just had to be her.

"Hey, pay attention…" Bra waved her hand back and fourth in front of his face. "I guess you will just have to sort of let it be Trunks. You can't force her to listen to you. If it's really meant to be then things will find a way of working out you can understand that right?"

"What do you mean let it be?" He cried out. "I want to be with her and she's going to get married to a guy she doesn't even love. I'm not just going to 'let it be' Bra. I love her and that's final." He crossed his arms in a stubborn manner.

"If you love her so much then just let her go. If it's meant to be she will return ok?" She sighed. "Besides, what makes you so sure she doesn't love him?"

He looked at her with a confused expression. "What, I thought you told me she liked me so what do you mean she loves him? Stop confusing me ok. Just answer me this question. Do I have a chance with her or not?"

Bra stood there racking her brains for an answer. "Of course you do Trunks, it's just maybe she might actually really love him and maybe that isn't such a bad thing you know?" She blinked before realizing what she had said. "You know I don't mean that I prefer him over you or anything. It's just I want to see her happy. We all know she loves you but she won't admit it and no one can do anything so just let her come to her senses. She loves him but only as a friend now that you think about it." She laughed a little at Trunks angry expression.

"Gee Bra, you just love to pull my leg don't you?" He said sarcastically. "Just to make sure. She loves me and not him right?"

"Yes Trunks, I was only joking. She loves you but him as a friend," she rolled her eyes at him.

"Hey I was just making sure." Trunks replied embarrassed.

"I kind of wish she did love him and not you…" Bra mumbled.

"WHAT?"

"I didn't say anything," she smiled sweetly before walking off.

"I bet you they will get together before the wedding," Bra replied smugly.

"No…they will get together during the wedding," Vegeta replied stubbornly.

"She's my best friend dad, I think I know when she will get together with Trunks," she glared at the man angrily.

"I'm her sensei I know even better then you," he retorted.

"You seem pretty sure of yourself…" Bra replied sarcastically. She had crossed her arms in anger now. She didn't like being wrong about these things especially when it came to Pan because she was suppose to know more then her dad.

"I am sure of myself," he said smugly. "How about we negotiate?"

"If I win you aren't allowed to go near your gravity room for a week and you have to take me out and carry my bags for me when I go shopping instead," she said quickly.

"If I win then you have to clean the gravity room up after I train for a week," Vegeta said just as quickly.

Bra was about to object but she saw him raise an eyebrow. Her stubborn side got the best of her and she nodded her head firmly. "I look forward to having someone carry my things for me for a change." Then she walked out of the kitchen and went into her room.

"What was that all about?" Bulma asked as she walked in after her daughter had left. "She seemed pretty angry for some reason and of course it must have been something you said." She crossed her arms and waited for a reply from her husband.

"It was nothing!" He said simply before walking out the door and into the gravity room to train some more.

"Men can't stand them!" She mumbled.

Well that's all for now. I hope you enjoyed that although it's a bit slacked but then again...yeah….hehehe
