His Weakness

Chapter 9: Pan on the Go!

Disclaimer: I own nothing except the plot.

"I'm so excited! Oh Geta this is so awesome!" Pan was bouncing around in her seat. They were one of the first people off thanks to flying first class. Baggage claim was a snap again thanks to the power of money. They got threw the crowds and hailed a taxi.

"Which hotel Geta?" Pan asked as they got in. The darkness around the city was broken by the street lamps as they pulled out into traffic.

"Some place called…" he pulled out the check-in information, "the Holmenkollen Park-"

"Hotel Rica?" Pan squealed in shock.

"Yeah, you know it?" Vegeta asked placing the papers back into their places.

"Know it? Geta is beautiful and really expensive! I know for a fact for two nights in a Deluxe Room with two twin beds it's about 39,500 yen (460 US dollars)!"

"What if I told you it wasn't a Deluxe?" Pan sat back thinking if that was still any better. Then she nodded a Standard Room would cost a bit less….

Vegeta smirked at her. He knew she didn't see the look on his face because she was trying to calculate the amount for two twin beds in a Standard.

The taxi driver looked back at them in the mirror and wanted to laugh. The girl was more worried about the money than the guy. That was a new one!

When they pulled up the driver helped them get their bags out of the back and Vegeta paid him. Pan only stared at it for a few moments. "I've only dreamed of staying here Geta," her voice was quiet like she was afraid that if she talked too loudly the image would shatter.

"Well? We better check in and get some sleep because we're doing whatever you want tomorrow." Vegeta grumbled.

They checked in and went to their room. Where Pan promptly chewed him out. "'Isn't a Deluxe!' It's a suite Vegeta! A suite! I don't even want to know how expensive this is!"

"Then don't ask and get some rest." Vegeta said not at all fazed by her ire.

"Fine," Pan wasn't really mad at him just overwhelmed. As she lay in her bed she felt bad about their one sided argument. Vegeta just wanted the best of the best for her. He wanted her to have fun. "…Geta?" she whispered into the darkness.

"What Kosu (woman)," Vegeta asked uninterested.

"I'm sorry…. I know you're just trying to give me a great memory. I'm just… a little overwhelmed. I never thought I wouldn't have to worry about how much money I spent here nor have I had the opportunity to just explore…. It's a little odd and foreign to me. Thank you… for all of this."

"…Sure," she heard him roll over and she went to sleep.

"Geta…? Geta it's time to wake up."She shook him gently trying in vain to wake him.

"Kosu (woman)," he said blurrily, "it's five. I thought you'd like to sleep in on a vacation." With that said he rolled over.

"Geta… we're in Norway. In Japan it's five in the morning and yes sleeping in would be nice. But here in Norway we've slept until nine." She explained patiently. "If you want food getting up and going would be a good idea."

He groaned. "Food?" he asked as he cracked an eye open again questioningly.

"Food," she confirmed holding up several pastry bags with a logo that blazed "Åpent Bakerei" on it.

After licking the cinnamon from his hands from the Cinnamon Swirl roll he had devoured, she spoke up. "Geta I think our first stop is to get two Oslo Passes for two days."

"Sure."

Sometime later they were sitting drinking coffee from deep, crème-colored bowls on the patio at one of the Åpent Bakerei locations and nibbling on a couple of boller (raisin rolls.) Once they had finished their warm drinks and steaming pastries, Pan had an idea.

"Hey, Geta?" He made an receptive sound as he watched something unimportant across the street. "Let's go to the Viking Ship Museum! It opens in about half an hour at eleven and with our passes we get in free!" He raised an eyebrow. "Please Geta? They were warriors. Not of the saiyin-jin calaber but human warriors' vessels Geta! Please," she begged.

He heaved a sigh. It's her vacation. It's her vacation. "Sure."

"That was so amazing Geta!" Her eyes sparkled exuberantly. She chattered on as they walked down the streets until they came upon a Japo Sushi. Both where hungry and (Pan) decided to give it a shot. Vegeta carelessly handed her a wad of money and she said she had an office order. They left with Vegeta carrying the meal until they found a covenant place to sit and eat. About half way through their meal Pan spoke in an oddly subdued tone. "You really aren't having fun are you…?" He seemed surprised by the question. Heaving a sigh, she turned her head to look anywhere but at him. She felt bad that he had taken her all this way and gone through a horrid plane ride only to act as a babysitter to an adult.

"It's your vacation Kosu (woman.) It's not like I have anything better to do." His voice seemed to shrug.

"I don't want to torture you! This is your vacation too!"

"What's next," he asked ignoring her last comment.

"But… Geta!" She turned back to look at him a little anxious.

"You're happy; so what, I get some extra sleep at your museums. Where are we headed next?"

"Um… Is Akershus Castle and Fortress okay?" She asked rattled.

"Sure," he replied off-handedly.

As they retreated from the Medieval castle/fortress, Pan looked over at him shyly clutching her brochures. "Geta," Pan's voice was hesitant and fragile. He looked at her out of the corner of his eye. "Thanks."

"The fortress wasn't half bad…" Vegeta admitted a little unwillingly.

"I'm glad!" Her smile almost blinded him. "How 'bout we head to Tullins Café?" He just followed her lead down the busy streets. "I've heard they have wonderful burgers and stir-fry! They really only do light snacks though so we may want something before actually going to dinner…."

Well now you all are as up to date as I am in writing it. I hope you all enjoyed this. I wanted to show their relationship and how they were growing closer together on this vacation.
