"…" is spoken; *…* is thoughts, ***** is a telepathic conversation; ##### is a flashback; is the song.
Videl paced back and forth in front of her daughter and newly acquired son as she frowned. She had been doing this for over a half hour and had yet to say a word. The two lovers knew she was angry by the slight rise in her ki and the expression on her face. Trunks grew tired of the quiet lecturing and said to Pan,
"Babe, I'm out of here. I'll see you later." As he began to stand, Videl stood directly in front of the man and yelled,
"Did I say leave?!?!? You will stay seated until I say so! SIT DOWN!!!!" Trunks looked at the woman with a smirk but obliged. Videl started her pacing back and forth again but again did not say a word. Trunks looked at Pan and asked telepathically,
***********************
"What's your mother doing? Pan looked at her mate and replied in the same manner,
"She's beyond pissed. When she's this upset she won't speak until she's calmed down but I usually have to sit here until she does. It's like the ultimate torture." Videl, who finally decided to speak, interrupted the two.
***********************
"What in the hell were you to thinking!!!! You both do realize you've just caused a world of trouble and I'm not just talking about Gohan and Vegeta!! Trunks have you thought about the investors that will pull their money out of Capsule Corp. once they find out your relationship with an 18-year-old woman? Did you think about how the journalists and tabloids are going to exploit Pan and how drastic her life is going to change?" Trunks shifted in his seat as he began to speak but Videl held her hand up, indicating she wasn't finished and continued,
"And as for you young lady, how dare you!!!! I understand love and that there are feelings that must be expressed but you obviously didn't think about how this union affects other people in your life. Your father would have acknowledged this relationship better if you had waited and actually tried to go about this in a sort of traditional relationship!" Trunks quickly spoke up as soon as Videl allowed the opportunity and said and his 'I am son of Vegeta, Prince of all Saiyajins' voice,
"Videl, despite what you think, both Pan and I have thought about how this relationship will affect everything around us. I know that the investors will look at me differently, most likely in a negative light, but all this is going to do is confirm that I am Bulma and Vegeta's 'lovechild'. Hell, they've dealt with my brilliantly addle-brained grandfather exploding the compound on a weekly basis, my mother's temper, and my father's destructive attitude and they're still here! The investors think the Brief family is a bunch of coots that have a great scientific and business sense." Videl looked at the man with a blank expression as he continued,
"As far as Gohan, he wouldn't accept this relationship if we were betrothed to each other Videl. He hates the fact that I love Pan and have for the longest. He would have done anything outside of death to keep us apart if we hadn't bonded. Besides we did this as Saiyajins would." Videl's blank face contorted into a deep frown, making her look almost Saiyajin.
"Don't give me that Saiyajin shit Trunks!!! Pan is more human than Saiyajin and you are half Saiyajin and that half only shows in your strength. You're attitude is more human than mine sometimes!!! You two did this because you were going to do what you were going to do. There was nothing else to it. Also, I 100% understand my husband's disapproval. You are 11 years older than our daughter!!! Depended upon what light you look at this, you've committed statutory rape! Pan isn't 18 just yet." Pan stood and pleaded,
"Mom, you and dad were bonded at 19, married at 20 years old, and had me six months later. You two made it through just fine and me and Trunks will too. I know you and dad are angry but you should understand why we did this." Videl's eyes widened as she inquired,
"Are you pregnant?!?" She looked at Trunks and yelled, "You son of a bitch!!!" Pan quickly interjected and exclaimed,
"Mom! No I'm not pregnant. I'm saying that we did this because we couldn't wait any longer. Trunks didn't seduce pressure me into bonding with him. It's just that we've been in love for so, so long that it was painful just to be in a room together." Pan stepped closer to her mother and said in a lower voice,
"Mom you've been in me and Trunks' corner for a long time about our friendship. Can you stay there when I need you most? I'm about to go through a great deal and I'm gonna need you to be here for me." Videl looked in the younger woman's eyes and saw the tears welling up in the corner. Trunks came up behind his mate, placed his hands on her shoulders, and began to message them. He leaned down and whispered in her ear words of comfort then kissed her on the cheek. Pan, in turn, closed her eyes and leaned into the man's broad chest. She looked as if she physically wanted to meld into her life partner.
Videl watched Pan's reaction to Trunks' touch and gentle kiss and immediately knew what her daughter was feeling. She, too, had felt this way when she and Gohan began dating. Every touch, kiss, and smile she received from her husband when they first bonded could ignite a fire inside her that needed to be fed by only one person. She also remembered how aroused and tempted she was just by the sight of her then boyfriend before they bonded. Videl understands the pain that her daughter spoke on moments ago because she has felt that pain as well for the father of her child.
As she watched her daughter and new son she knew that what has occurred is something that was well beyond them. It is something that is beyond the nature of a human, also that of a Saiyajin. She knew that there was no word to explained their reactions and feeling towards each other. She only knew it could be called love.
"I have and always will be in your corner Panny. I'm just afraid for you and the things that can happen to you." She looked at the man holding her only child and said,
"I'm afraid for you too. You have my only child in your life in such an intimate way that only a mother can understand. You have to take care of her Trunks." Trunks' face softened and said in a raspy whisper,
"Videl, I love Panny and will die protecting her." Pan replied to her mate and said,
"And I for you Trunks."
You see I toss and turn when I'm alone
And I just can't wait 'til you get home
Waiting for your call
'Cause tonight we're going to do it all
Girl it's just the two of us

Goten floated in front of Bra's bedroom window and watched the young woman thumb through an old photo album. He forced himself not to dip into their bond although he was highly curious of what she was thinking as she smiled at certain pictures. He watched her stop on a certain page in the album and run her finger over a picture. Her eyes clouded over and Goten could feel her reminiscing. In an effort to keep her feeling from growing inside of him he gently tapped on the window. Bra got off of the bed in a fluid motion and opened her window. As she walked back to her bed she said in a far off tone,
"I was wondering when you were going to knock or just come in." Goten smiled and scratched his head showing his slight confusion and was about to ask a question but Bra answered his question before it left his lips by answering,
"I can feel you Goten, that's how." Goten sat in a chair that was by the window and said,
"Oh, so you can use the bond for your advantage but I can't?" The aqua-haired young woman sighed and said,
"There are certain things with this bond I can't control. Trust me if I could I wouldn't use them." She glanced over at the man lounging in the chair and could help but notice his muscular pectorals protruding through his thin training shirt. She unconsciously licked her lips as she thought,
*I would mind having those pressed up against me right now. With me feeling those strong arms around me and his lips on my… Bra stop!!!*
"So, um, why are you here? My dad may already know you're here." Goten gave a slight smirk because he heard her thought. He pondered if he should reply to it but instead said,
"My father and Gohan are looking for the dragonballs as we are speaking. We have to meet them in about an hour and a half." Bra's eyes widened as she said,
"Your brother knows about this too!?! Great, just fucking great Goten! Why don't you just go downstairs and tell my parents too!" Goten stood from the chair and said,
"Fine, your mom's downstairs but your dad is nowhere to be found." He started for the door but Bra quickly jumped in front of him and said,
"No, I was being sarcastic. Let's just go… out the window." She pulled her mate by the arm and led him towards her window. Goten allowed himself to be carted off by the young lady as he whispered to her,
"You know we have time for a little parting gift before this wish. After all, you don't mind my strong arms around you and my lips on a certain spot." Bra looked at the man with a mixture of shock and covetousness. She quickly replied,
"I'll think about it on the way. Let's go." As the two took off toward the set reconvening area that the Son men agreed on, Goten asked,
"Hey did you know Pan and Trunks are bonded?"
On the other side of Bra's door a certain Saiyajin prince was sitting on the floor with his power suppressed so low that he was not allowed to stand. When he felt his daughter and her mate leave he stood up and decided that their diversion has lasted long enough and it was time he did something about it.
Yeah you'll get another update in 6-9 months… okay maybe sooner
By the way I got all of your reviews and I thank you very much
Peace… NaCoBe
