Thank you all for the awesome reviews!!! I'm not worthy!!
Chapter 30
Trunks was torn as to go after his father or see to his mother. He knew chasing after Vegeta would only end in a fight. A fight he wasn't sure he could win.
A small sob broke into his thoughts and he made his decision.
Trunks ran to his mothers side while inwardly cursing his father. He didn't know how he could be so heartless.
Didn't he have any feelings?
All of Trunks life he had strived for his fathers approval. He had always wished that he was a full Saiyan instead of just a lowly half breed.
That was until today, today he was glad that he was half human. He was glad that he could feel love, empathy, compassion. He pulled Bulma into his arms and hugged her tightly as he whispered 'it'll be okay'.
Chi-chi looked on with sympathy. She turned to Goku and hugged him, thanking Dende that he was bashed on the head as a child.
Gohan and Videl moved to another section of the lookout to sit and wait together.
Goten stood by nervously. He couldn't help but feel like this was partly his fault. He wanted to talk to Trunks but he doubted he would be in a good mood at the moment.
Goten felt a hand touch his shoulder and looked down at Dende who was smiling sadly at him.
"It is not your fault child. Vegeta has to fight his own demons." Dende said softly. Goten nodded feeling a little better. He only wished that Bra was there.
Would she hate him for this?
Mr. Popo hurried off to start dinner as Goten sat down for the long wait.
***********************************************
Vegeta flew as fast as possible without ascending. His heart burned with despair.
His mate had went against him.
He growled as the scene replayed over and over in his head.
How could she let their daughter, their princess be with that nit-wit? Didn't good breeding account for anything anymore?
Of course stupid as Goten is he is still one of the strongest beings on Earth. But then again there was always the Universe to consider.
HE would have been able to find Bra a suitable mate somewhere.
He sighed, foolish woman and her stupid human feelings. Vegeta growled again as he flew on.
************************************************************
"2998..."
"2999.."
"3000.." Pan said rolling to her back and sat up as she finished her one fingered push ups. She wiped her brow and stood up to stretch.
Bra squealed as she looked over at her friend. "We only have half an hour left!!"
Pan smiled back as she looked at her friend. It was amazing how much Bra changed since they had been in there. Her hair hung down her back almost to her butt.
She had trusted Pan to cut it once during their stay but Bra refused to let her touch it again after she had nearly been beheaded with a destructo disk attack. She had grown in height also and was a couple of inches taller than Pan.
Bra's other clothing had become torn so she was able to dig out of the ruble a hot pink spandex suit. unfortunately the other ones she brought had been destroyed.
Pan sighed looking down at her own garments. She had taken a pair of sweatpants she had brought and cut them into shorts. Unfortunately her hips and legs had grown since then so now they looked like short shorts, and her top clung to her womanly curves like a second skin.
Pan crossed her arms nervously. It had seemed like they had been there so long she couldn't remember what it was like on the outside. All that kept her going was the mental picture she had of Trunks. He gave her strength.
Her and Bra had spent countless hours talking about him and Goten. It almost seemed unreal that all they had to do was wait half an hour.
It had been so long.
***********************************************
Trunks was shaken awake by Dende. He looked up at the green man from where he was sitting on the floor. The others had went to the guest rooms that Dende had provided for them but he and Goten had chosen to stay and wait by the door. Trunks stretched out his cramped legs. He was surprised to see the sun low in the sky.
The previous day had passed uneventful after Vegeta had left. and he barely remembered the monotonous events of today. There was a small struggle during lunch as Goten and Goku had fought over the last pork chop. Trunks had settled down and fallen asleep.
"It is almost time." Dende said as Goten's eyes opened sleepily also. He smiled as Goten jumped to his feet as the words sunk into his idle brain.
Trunks was nervous as the others joined the two by the door. He looked over at Videl and Gohan who looked as apprehensive as he felt. His mother still had red eyes but she was smiling as she looked forward to seeing Bra again.
For the group it had felt like they hadn't seen the girls in two in years instead of two days. So much has happened. Trunks watched as Dende walked towards the door and he silently moved to the back of the crowd.
He wanted to let Pan greet her parents first. It wasn't that he was so considerate of their feelings, but because he figured that if he greeted her first he wouldn't want to release her to visit her parents afterward. In fact he never wanted to be without her again.
The door slowly started to open and he held his breath.
The crowd watched as the door cracked open slowly and a pure white light shined out illuminating everyone.
And there she was.
Trunks sucked in his breath as he saw her. With the light surrounding her like that she looked like an angel. With the light behind her as she stepped out it framed her new figure and Trunks licked his lips unconsciously.
Gohan watched in awe as Pan emerged and there was an ache in his heart. She wasn't his little girl anymore, she had grown up. She met his eyes and grinned as he grabbed her and hugged her tight. Videl let out a sob as she hugged Pan also.
Goten hardly even noticed Pan's arrival as he waited impatiently for Bra to emerge. His heart swelled with joy as she followed right behind Pan. Her Sparkly pink spandex suit shimmered and displayed every curve she had. Although anxious he followed Trunks lead and watched as Bulma held her tightly and even Trunks gave her an affectionate pat on the head.
Bra hugged her mother tightly assuming that her being there she was consenting to her and Gotens relationship. "Where's Dad?" Bra asked hesitantly not sure if she wanted to hear the answer or not.
Bulma smiled bravely, "I don't know, but I don't want you to worry about it. I just want you to be happy." Bulma hugged Bra tightly and whispered to her. "I think Goten is waiting for you."
At the mention of Goten's anme Bra's eyes rivited to him automatically and thier eyes met. He grinned a small lopsided grin and Bra left out a squeal of joy as she launched herself into his strong arms. Goten pulled her close and buried his face in the crook of her neck inhaling her scent. Kami he missed her.
Trunks turned away from watching Bra and Goten to find Pan standing there waiting for him.
Pan was glad to see her parents were smiling happily. She was afraid that they would be mad at her. She hugged them both and then her Grandparents. She saw her father glance over her shoulder before he kissed her on the cheek telling her that they were going to visit her grandparents house.
She waved bye as they blinked away. Pan crossed her arms over her bare midriff nervously as she turned towards Trunks. She saw him greet his sister and then look over towards her.
Pan blushed as their eyes met and she looked down unsure of herself. Unsure of their relationship.
Trunks feeling her wavering through their bond fought the urge to grab her and spin her around and walked over there slowly.
She looked up at him and he saw tears shimmering in her eyes, he pulled her close as they spilled over. Wanting to be alone he picked her up and flew off the overlook and into the air.
**************************************************************************** ********************************
Bulma stood by watching silently as her son and daughter held their mates. Tears stung her eyes once again as she thought back when her and Vegeta were first together. Bulma sniffed again. Well actually her and Vegeta had never been as loving and carefree as the couples before her. Maybe it was her fault, always being in the lab busy with this and busy with that.
And she was doing the same thing to her son. Luckily Trunks was able to realize this. He was alot smarter than her she guessed. Bulma sniffed as she smiled sadly. 'Vegeta if you're out there, I'm sorry.' She thought as she watched Trunks and Pan fly off into the night.
**************************************************************************** ******************************************
Bra pulled away slightly from Goten so that she could look up into his eyes.
"Kami, your beautiful." Goten said looking deep into Bra's sparkling blue orbs.
Dende beamed, "Thank you." He said as Mr. Popo elbowed him in the ribs and Goten gave him an annoyed look. "What?" He asked.
Bra giggled, "Maybe we should take Trunks lead and go some where a little more private."
Goten blushed as he nodded.
**************************************************************************** *
Bulma watched Bra leave and she felt like a mother bird watching her babies leave the nest for the first time.
She felt alone, utterly totally alone.
She sighed as she pulled out a jet copter capsule and threw it down. She climbed in and slowly headed home.
A/N I was going to end this with this chapter but Vegeta took off!!!! Since I can't end a fic without a happy ending I guess I'll have to write some more. Oh well. Please review.
