A/N: This is the final chapter (or all I wrote back when I first wrote this). Sorry for the bad formatting, I don't know how to make it better. Thanks for sticking with me through the whole fic – love you guys! ~Laurynn

"And you knew?" Bra asked. It was dusk and the sun had just slipped beneath the horizon and Bra and Trunks were lying in an abandoned field on the outskirts of town, both of them glowing gold.

"Well, I knew you were close. Sometimes, it just takes something to push you over the edge. You and me, we have fighting in our blood. Once it starts, it's hard to stop," he said, cuffing her proudly on the head. She couldn't help but smile.

"I don't want to let it go," she said fondly, touching her glowing skin.

"It's not gone forever. Now that you know how to do it, it will come easier next time. It's hardest the first time but you'll get the hang of it."

Trunks stopped but looked over at his sister. "You know," he said, glancing seriously over at her. "The first time I showed dad I could be a super Saiyan he punched me in the face."

"What?" Bra asked, laughing too loudly.

"Yeah…he said he would take me to the park if I could land a punch in his face and I did it, man I was stupid, and he punched me so hard I had a mark for a week." Bra laughed again but it was nervous laughter. Trunks looked over; Bra was biting her lip. He took her hand in his own and held it.

"Is…is that why you did this? Because dad's not around to show me?"

"No, I did it because you asked me to, remember?" She nodded. "But there is also a lot of responsibility that comes along with being a super Saiyan that you must not forget. It falls to us to defend the weak whenever we can and we must never abuse the power we have."

"I understand."

"Do you?" He asked, squeezing her hand. "Didn't you want to be a super Saiyan to beat someone up? Didn't you think I was abusing my power earlier?" She squeezed his hand back.

"It was easy to say that because you were stronger than me and well, you never did take it easy on me," Bra admitted. She thought of her accusations against Goten and felt her face flush. Trunks didn't notice.

"Yeah, well that's one thing dad did happen to teach me when he was around, to train hard and never let up."

"I see that," she said laughing sincerely.

"Yeah, I guess I-" But at that moment, Trunks released her hand and was standing in an instant.

"What?" Bra asked, jumping up after him.

"You tell me. Listen, feel. Use your power and tell me what," he said; his voice was suddenly on edge.

"Something is coming. Something very powerful…"

"Someone," he corrected.

"But who is stronger than us?"

"That energy is not stronger than either one of us as super Saiyans. Feel it. It is a similar energy."

"What do you mean?"

"It's Saiyan power."

"A Saiyan coming toward us?" She asked blankly.

"Two and they're coming very quickly," Trunks said. "If you want to hide your new power, you should do it now, although they probably already know."

"If it's other Saiyans, I don't mind. Do you know who it is just by their energy?"

"Yes, because I've trained with them before but you won't be able to do that for a while. And since I don't feel like getting killed in my sleep tonight, I'll tell you. It's Gohan and Goten."

"What?" Bra asked, turning to face him. "What are they coming here for?"

"I don't know. What are we doing here?"

"What? We're talking." He shrugged.

"Maybe they are too. Are you…are you going to power down?"

"Yes, I will." She said, closing her eyes and letting her energy build up free and returning to her normal state. When she opened them, Trunks was normal too. They sat back down in silence and waited until Gohan and Goten flew into their vision and dropped to the ground in front of them. Goten caught Bra's eyes but quickly looked away, blushing, which was unusual. They stood.

"Good evening Trunks, Bra," Gohan said happily, shaking Trunk's hand. Goten nodded at Trunks, who nodded back.

"Long time no see," Trunks said genuinely. "How are Videl and Pan?"

"They are doing great."

"And Chichi?"

"As stubborn as ever. And how is Bulma?"

"She's doing fine as well."

"Splendid. And how are the two of you?" Gohan asked casually but Trunks felt that there was something wrong.

"Why do you ask?" Trunks asked. Gohan and Goten exchanged quick looks.

"We felt a large and quite unfamiliar power level from this direction. We came to check it out. We wanted to make sure everything was okay. We didn't know that you were here until we started out. We decided to come check things out anyway. Do you need any assistance?"

"No, no, we're both fine," Trunks said, looking back at Bra whose eyes were glued to the ground.

"Oh, I see. Well, in any case, it seems to have dissipated. Do you happen to know what it was? It was very powerful."

"We both know. Bra," Trunks asked, looking back at her. "Would you like to tell them where the power was coming from?" Bra shook her head. Trunks sighed. "Bra has made the transformation to super Saiyan this evening." Gohan smiled but Goten looked stunned.

"Well, may I be the first offer my congratulations!" Gohan said beaming.

"Thank you," Bra said meekly, shuffling her feet.

"Have you been working on this for some time?"

"No," said Trunks. "That was what was remarkable about it. She just snapped and transformed. Mom's not too happy though, as she did in inside the house."

"No, what mother would be?" Gohan said laughing earnestly. "I'll bet she was mad!"

"Actually, she kicked us out!" Trunks said as he and Bra both burst out laughing, which Gohan and Goten both joined in.

After talking for some time, Gohan asked Bra if she would mind if he had a private word with Trunks and when she said no, the two of them flew off a little ways to talk, leaving Bra and Goten very alone.

"Congrats," he said, taking a step closer.

"Thanks," she said awkwardly.

"Bummer about your house though," he said conversationally.

"Yeah," she said stiffly.

"Well, I guess that you could-"

"Stop," she said suddenly, taking a step back and holding up her hand. "Stop acting like everything is okay between us."

"Look, I've tried to make things better. You said you were giving me a second chance but you never really accepted my apology."

"Well, you lied to me!" she burst out.

"Well, you lied to me!"

"What are you talking about?" She asked, bewildered.

"You told me that your boyfriend broke up with you back then." Bra was taken aback.

"What makes you think otherwise?" But Bra already knew the answer.

"I talked to him," Goten said. Bra looked down. She knew that Todd would've said something eventually.

"I thought it might come up when you were over there. I was wondering if your friendship might fall apart if either of you figured it out. And it took me a long time to make things right with him, so if you threaten my relationship with him, I'll kill you."

"Ah, super Saiyan fighting words. I love a good fight," he said laughing. "Now, tell me exactly what happened back then."

"I told Todd that I didn't want to see him anymore. I didn't give him any good reasons. He thought there was someone else, which was exactly true but when I didn't start dating anyone he thought I'd made it up and what could I say? I didn't go out without anyone for a year or so after that. He was crushed. He thought I lied to get rid of him. I tried to tell him that it wasn't like that but he didn't believe me. But then we both were dating around. It was clear after that that we were just meant to be friends anyways. And we've maintained our friendship so if you-"

"I get it. You'll kill me. And for the record, I didn't know you were going to break up with him for me. I'd already said yes to Amy when you asked me. I wasn't just going to drop her."

"Well, you should've. She was just doing it because you were popular. And you lied about her. She was that gangster." Goten swallowed hard, which was as good as a confession.

"I…I had no idea. I think you were her original target after you guys fought at the beginning of the year. She thought she'd get at you through Todd, which worked in a way. I…I handed her in myself. I had no idea she would've done something like that."

They stood silent for a long moment.

"So, want to train?" Goten asked tentatively. "None of the guys on the football team will train with me anymore." Bra smiled; a real smile.

"I think that sounds like a plan," she said, stretching out her hand, which he shook with a smile. "Only not tonight. I think I'd probably better get going soon. Mom's going to make us regret tearing up the house." They both laughed.

"Oh, did you get your grades in the mail yet?"

"No, did you?" She asked surprised.

"Yeah, I got them this morning."

"What! What did we get on our project?" She asked but he sighed heavily.

"I don't know how to tell you this…" He said sadly.

"Goten, what did we get?" She asked, stepping forward and grabbing his lapel but he broke free.

"You have to catch me for it," he laughed, bursting into super Saiyan form and taking off.

"Oh it's on," she said following suit and chasing after him, laughing the whole way.
