xconversegirl99x: Heh, curiosity killed the cat. And I'm glad you're enjoying the story. BTW, love your picture!
SSJFlash: Thanks.
Starfire Grace: Well your waiting is over. I just have to write this due to leaving you all on a cliff hanger.
Guest: Thanks.
Awesomeness666: I can try to. I guess I can add Valese or Uub in future chapters. Thinking about it now, I have a role for one of them.
Note: This chapter is a bit more, mature I guess you could say. Nothing too manger, just something every girl dreads. Also, Bulla is attending a college.
Story Time!
How? How could it be that Pan and Goten were here? It was impossible. It was a dream, a really bad dream. The last thing Bulla needed is them here. But would could she do? Sending them away would make them suspicious and Bulla didn't want to get to close to them-especially her long time crush Goten. She had to deal with the heartbreak of leaving everyone behind and the guilt with it. And seeing them now made her feel even guiltier.
"Hi, table for two please." Goten said politely, snapping Bulla out of her thoughts. Her heart beat quickened even more hearing his voice after two years. Or it may be the fact that two members of her past were here in front of her when they shouldn't be. She didn't know since every single time she stood around Goten, her heart beat quickened. "Or at the counter, whatever works." Bulla gulped, nodding.
"O-of course, a table is this way." She stated, trying her best to smile at the two Sons. She began walking towards an empty table near the window yet close to the counter. She went out with these two and her brother tons of time to know exactly where they would want to sit. Hearing the sound of two pairs of feet follow, she stopped showing them the table.
"Thanks." Goten grinned. Bulla nodded, blushing a bit. Even after two years, Goten still had this effect on her. Pan saw the blush on 'April' and began chuckling a bit. Goten sat down on the right and Pan was about to sit down from across from her uncle but Bulla noticed something, making her eyes widen.
"Excuse me but could I borrow her?" She asked the male Son. Goten blinked at Bulla and Pan stared at her, just as confused as him. "Please, it will only take a minute." She pleaded. Pan and Goten exchanged a glance, nodding in sync.
"Alright but I won't try anything funny." Pan warned.
"I won't. Now come on." Bulla stated, grabbing Pan's wrist. Despite the ravenette's protesting, Bulla continued to drag Pan away towards the counter. Goten called after two women to not take long. "Debra, I need my purse, Code R Month." She said to the brunette as she motioned towards Pan. Debra's eyes widen as she went to the back room.
"What are you doing?" Pan demanded, trying to get her wrist free.
"Just please trust me on this." Bulla pleaded as Debra came back out, handing her a red purse, muttering about poor thing. Throwing her bag over her shoulder, the former heiress continued dragging the ravenette to the bathrooms. Pan began cursing at the insane waitress as she put it and demanded to be let go. Bulla ignored her best friend as they made it to the bathrooms. Bulla kicked the door opened and threw Pan inside.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Pan yelled as Bulla entered the bathroom, closing the door. Bulla just shook her head, digging through the contents of her purse as Pan continued yelling in protest. She got a grip on an item and pulled it out to show Pan. Her onyx eyes widen as she blushed a bit seeing how Bulla held a tampon.
"There is blood on the back of your pants." Bulla explained, handing the ravenette the tampon she always kept in her purse just in case. "I figured it was your time of the month and you didn't realize it." Pan turned around to see if it was true and sighed seeing it was. She gratefully took the woman's toiletry and looked at 'April' with relief in her eyes.
"Thank you so much." She said. "I'm sorry I cursed at you and I owe you one." Bulla giggled, shaking her head.
"No need to Pan, it's fine." Regretting her words, Bulla mentally cursed herself. Before she could be question, she began leaving the bathroom. "ANYWAYS, I'll leave so you can deal with that and I suggest using your jacket to cover up the blood. Bye!' Exiting the bathroom and closing the door, Bulla sighed at her screw up. She mistakenly called Pan by her name. What excuse could she come up with? She would just have to get information from Goten quickly. She rushed to the counter to pick up two menus and went to the table where Goten was waiting.
Seeing a reflection from the window he was looking through, he turned his head to look at the blonde-blue haired waitress who dragged Pan away. "Hey, what did you do with the girl with me?"
"She is in the bathroom." She explained, placing the menu in front of him and Pan's vacant seat. "So are you two tourists? I haven't seen you around before." Goten nodded, his eyes scanning the menu.
"Well sort of," he answered. Bulla looked at him curiously. "we are here because of Pan-the girl I'm with-is checking out a college. As her uncle, I am coming with to make sure she doesn't run into any weird creeps on the airplane or something. We're from Japan." He explained.
"What college?" Bulla asked, taking out her notepad.
"The University of Grand Falls." He answered, flipping the page.
Bingo. She thought, coming up with an excuse. Hopefully Pan didn't hear her say her name so she wouldn't have to use it. If not then oh well. She clicked her tongue, a habit she picked up from some people who usually come in on Fridays. Glancing over her shoulder, she spotted Pan returning with the red-orange jacket she wore was now around her waist to cover the blood she got from her accident and now revealed she wore a black tank top.
"Hey April." Pan said, seeing the name tag that hung from her shirt. "I would like to thank you again."
Bulla smiled, dismissing the topic with a wave of her hand. "No need to worry about it."
"I also have a question." Crap. "How did you know my name?"
"Huh? You knew her name?" Goten asked. Well it looks like the excuse Bulla came with would need to be exposed. Bulla just smiled at her.
"Heh, there is a rumor going around on my campus how a Japanese girl who is the daughter of an important scholar back at her home was going to be attending. My friend Amanda broke into the office and found out the girl's name is Pan Son. Her profile picture looked a lot like you so it slipped. I'm sorry." She apologized. "And I asked since I was wondering if we would attend the same college." She added to Goten.
"Oh damn, that Amanda girl most get you in trouble." Was Pan's only comment as she slid in her seat.
"Sometimes." Bulla laughed. "But let me introduce myself properly, I'm April Shores."
"And you were right, I am Pan Son. This is my uncle Goten Son." Pan explained, motioning towards the man who kept staring at Bulla. She shuffled her feet, feeling awkward since his gaze was focused on her. Putting that aside, she lifted up her pad. Faking a smile, she recited something she said countless times.
"So can I start you off with anything to drink?"
Sorry for the short chapters! I am studying for midterms so that is why it's short. Don't worry, I am going to continue working on this along with studying for my midterm. Short chapters are better than no chapters! Bye for now!
