~Scene change/Flashback~

Chapter 9: Each tear is worth it

It was dark outside and the stars glimmered and shined. Bra slumped onto her bed and looked up at the ceiling. She was bored and extremely unhappy. Ever since her father made her get engaged to a man she didn't even know she had been this way. She protested, she screamed, and even tried to commit suicide on a number of occasions. "Why is my life so hard. I though being a princess means you could do whatever you wanted."

~FLASHBACK~

Bra smiled and bowed before her father and smiled. "You wanted to see me Daddy?" Vegeta sighed and nodded. He looked to his side where Bulma was anxiously rubbing her hands. "Bra, your mother and I have come to a decision." Bra shrugged slightly. "About what?" Vegeta sighed again leaning back into his throne and rubbing his temples. Bulma noticed his stress look and intervened. "We have decided it is time you chose a mate. Therefore we have made an arrangement for marriage for you with Ryo, Prince of Mali-star ." Bra's eyes went wide and her mouth came into a gap. She looked over at her guard, Goten who wore a similar expression. "But Daddy! I'm not your heir... and I'm only seventeen. Shouldn't I have a say in who I am going to marry?"

"You may be only seventeen, but in these times it is necessary. Your brother may be the heir but he has a limited time to choose. You I want to have as a back-up and to make SURE that you are already presentable for the throne." Bra's eyes grew teary and she screamed at her father. "This is so unfair!" She covered her face with her hands and ran out the door. Goten soon followed her.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

Bra sniffled and wiped a few tears from her eyes. She turned over in her bed and cried even more. "It is so unfair." Goten stood outside the door and listened to his beloved princess weep. He too was not happy with the arrangements but it was out of his hands. "I'm so sorry, Bra. I have no idea what to do."

~Meantime~

Pan and Trunks walked hand in hand towards the throne room. "How do you think they will take the news?" Trunks shrugged but bit his lip. He had buffed him self extra to make him look presentable to his parents. He had Ryanna get Pan all dolled up in her uniform, do her hair, and teach her to look more like a saiyan. As they stood at the front of the door her looked to Pan and gave her a nod of reassurance. Pan smiled and returned the gesture. Trunks knocked loudly and was replied with a gruff enter. Gulping loudly Trunks stepped in first with Pan near his side. "What do you want brat?" Vegeta spoke with toughness in his voice. Trunks bowed motioning Pan to do the same. "Pan and I have come to tell you something father."

Vegeta signaled for him continue. Pan spoke up. ""The Prince and I have mated. And I am here to appoint my duty to your majesties properly." Vegeta smirked and looked to Bulma who had a bright smile on her face. "It's about time. You should have jumped her the first night brat!" Trunks' eyes widened and a small hint of a blush was on his face. Pan smiled and kissed Trunks' cheek. "Okay, okay, enough mush... now get out of here before I become queasy!" Pan Trunks laughed slightly and did as they were told. "You wanna go train for a bit?" Trunks nodded at Pan's question. "Okay, race you to the room then!" Pan took off like a bullet with a laughing Trunks staggering behind her.

At the training rooms, Ryanna was in there as usual. She had taken out four men already and was waiting for another opponent. "Come on, do you call yourselves warriors? Who's next?" Smirking at the already beaten trainees, she let her glance take her to all the scared looks of the others who had managed to survive. Abruptly she felt a hand on her shoulder and a voice speak softly. "You're suppose to be training them, not beating them to a bloody pulp." Ryanna sighed and turned to Bardock. "Would you like to be next?" She had a cold stare but Bardock ignored it as always. "You should be a lover not a fighter angel. This kind of work doesn't suit you." Ryanna's glare got bigger. "Oh really? My father seemed to have liked the idea when I was just a girl. so why should i believe you?"

"Because you will." Everyone seemed to sense the burning tension between the two and were getting ready to experience an entertainment like no other. "That fortune telling head of yours will not convince me. I am Ryanna Coutsa'n! The most powerful female on the planet!" She turned away from him and was about to head out the door where she spotted Pan and Trunks entering in a fit of giggles. "You're also the master of hiding your feelings." Bardock called out to her. She froze and looked around the room. Everyone was staring at her, Bardock held a satisfying smirk on his face. She growled and powered up to Super saiyan. A few of the saiyans ran to the far corners of the room terrified by her actions. "That's it Bardock!" She turned to him in a snarl. "This game ends now!"

Flying at him she punched his torso making him fall to his knees. Pan's mouth was in a gap and the nearby people who heard the ruckus came sprinting into the room. As soon as Ryanna had Bardock on his knees she grabbed the edge of his clothes and dragged him into the gravity room. "Uh-oh! This can't be good!"

Cliffhanger! He, he I know naughty me who hasn't written in so long putting up a cliffy. Oh well let's just hope I will live to see the end of this story go out.
