Yea I apologize for the extremely late update!! ..Am soo embarrased :(. Some little problems came up... I had a short summer camp and i couldn't think of what to do next. Now I have to plan for my birthday on Sunday... (:P yh mee!! am gonna be 15!!) enjoy and tell me what yall think! Tried to make it kinda long.

Bra strolled down the halls to her chamber, thinking about her very short conversation with Pan. Poor girl I wonder what happened. I would have died by now. She went through such a rough time... Bra thought to herself.

Bra was so lost in thought that she bumped in a brick hard body. She looked up through squinted eyes trying to figure out what she bumbed into then she saw a twinge of lavender.

"Sorry about that Bra. I should have watched where I was going but... hey! Wait a minute. This means you weren't paying attention and it therefore means that you were thinking!" Trunks exclaimed narrowing his eyes at his troublesome young sister.

"What were you thinking about and does it entail me in any way?" Trunks hissed.

Bra just made herself comfortable on the floor and rolled her eyes at her brother. Hmmm i wonder if I should tell him about Pan. Hmmm narr. Not now later. I'll just buy him off with an excuse then. Tee hee hee.

"Oh Trunk. It's nothing really. I was just thinking about the royal meeting and what I was going to wear.. you know? So many people are gonna be there and mom will probably have me look at some of the guest's sons as a potential husband or something." Bra said. Hey wait a minute.

"Trunks won't they be looking at you to pick a potential wife or something? What about Pan?" Bra was genuine this time.

"That never crossed my mind. Bra. My room. Now!" Trunks said as he pulled Bra up off the floor.

Pan opened the creaky door to the quaters she shared with her mother and best friend. She was a little surprised to find her mother and Marron ready for bed and dressed in their pyjamas but then she remebered something. Oh yea.... I'm late.

"Dear, you look like you a rough day. Are you ok, Pan?" Videl looked upon her daughter as worry lines formed in her face.

"Woh and I thought my day was rough...Are you ok, sweets?" Marron asked.

"Yea. I think I am fine. Just a little knocked out but fine." Pan assured them. " I'll go get ready for bed then tell you guys all about my day. OK?"

With that Pan crabbed her stuff from the drawer then rushed into the showers.

"I wonder what's going on back home. I can't believe it's been seven years already.." Marron said out of the blue.

"Oh yes.. I wonder how Gohan and the others are doing. Oh how i miss them all." Videl said with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"Heck.. I was thirteen at the time but Pan was only ten. If I thought it was so rough and scary, imagine what Pan must have felt. She cried and screamed so hard that they threatened to kill her. And poor Goku and the others. That look on Goku's face as we left. It was as if his heart was torn out. He felt like he failed us... " Marron broke off, fearing she would break down at the awful memories.

"Yes, but remember Marron, This was a small price to pay. I don't understand the real reason why they took us. But from what I learnt it was like a way to keep Goku on the others under control. If they decided to try anything they would hold our lives over their heads." Videl said.

"Yes. I think I get it. It makes sense," Marron said slowly.

The two sat in silence as they waited for Pan to exit the showers.

***************************************************************************************************************

The two royal siblings hurried into Trunk's quarters. Bra quickly bounced unto his bed and sat in the same position she had had earlier while Trunks sat on the edge of the grand bed.

"So Trunks, first of all you and Pan need to spend more time together so you two can get a little closer, you know?" Bra said quietly.

"Yea. I know but easier said than done," Trunks sighed. " But can't i go to the thing and not look for bride and say I have no interest in any as yet? Wouldn't it work?" Trunks said desperately.

"To be honest with you bro, I am not sure." Bra said sadly. "You know how mom is about these sort of things and well you know..."

"Yea but i think she knows about Pan alread-" Trunks tried to get in.

"What?! How in the world did she find out already. I know she's good at that stuff but..." Bra questioned.

""Well um... she sort of heard me arguing with myself then forced me to spill all the information..." Trunks said hopelessly.

"So how much do you know about Pan?" asked Bra.

"Not much I guess... I don't know of her origins. I heard she is here with her mother, Videl and her friend Marron and that they share the same dorm. But what I do know is that she is one of the most beautiful women i have ever seen in my life. She is independant and knows how to hold her own. Every thing she does must be done to the best of her ability and nothing less. She is kind and gentle like a delicate rose and tries her best, always wanting to do better and trying soo hard. It's so cute. It makes me want to help her and try to take care of -" Trunks was abruptly interupted by Bra.

"Wow Trunks you definately are insanly in love with her. You two would make the cutest couple ever! And that will happen or my name isn't Bra" Bra declared.

"Br-" Trunks began.

"Oh Trunks there are some unusual thing you don't know about Pan. Nothing deadly but... you know.." Bra said to a curious Trunks.

" What do you mean unusual? She seems normal to me. What are you talking about?" Trunks questioned.

"Those are things she'll have to tell you about herself Trunks. I don't think I am the one to tell you about this. She should do it herself." Bra stated.

" I see," Trunks quietly muttered.

"I'll leave now. Get some rest Trunksiekins. The guests will be arriving tomorrow and I think you'll need your strength." Bra said as she got up and left.

"Yea," Trunks called to her as he got up to get ready for bed.

****************************************************************************************************************

Pan emerged from the showers dressed in her pyjamas. They were a little worn but she could still make do with them. Then she began to get into her bed.

" You two are still up? I took extra long." PAn questioned with a yarn.

"Yea but didn't you say you wanted to tell us about your day, dear?"Videl asked.

"Oh yea I nearly forgot," Pan giggled slightly.

"Its okay. Plus I think sleep is more important now. Tomorrow will be a rough day getting all the guests settled down." Videl stated.

Pan and Marron nodded in agreement. Pan's last thought was about Prince Trunks before she drifted into a well deserved rest.

Review please. ^-^
