Chapter 10: Party Favors  

You know, it’s funny how you’re supposed to be updating one story and you get all kinds of ideas on another.  Well, that’s what happened today.  I was honestly trying to work on Saiyajin Revived when I couldn’t get this damned chapter out of my head.  So… I wrote it!!!  Just to let you know, this chapter is mainly about Pan and Trunks but if you don’t read it you might not understand the next chapter.  The main stars of this story will have a great time to shine very soon.

 

Disclaimer:  I’m not going through again!!!

Gohan smiled as he shook hands with some political figure he didn’t know.  He looked over to his wife, who was talking with more people he really didn’t know about her proposed plans as the future mayor of Satan city.  He positioned himself so he could see everyone who came into the hall so he wouldn’t miss his daughter’s arrival.  He senses peaked as he saw Bulma and his mother, knowing Pan and Trunks was soon coming in.  As he saw members of his family and Trunks’ family slowly enter, he heard Videl say intuitively,

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

“Gohan, stay where you are when they come in, I don’t want a scene.”

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

 Gohan looked over to his wife and sighed.  He stay rooted to his spot but soon realized Pan and Trunks wasn’t coming in. 

*Where the hell are they?!?  Everyone else is here, why aren’t they?*

Slowly, he inched away from Videl and went to his brother.  He noticed Goten looked a little tensed and asked in a concerned voice,

“Hey Goten, you okay?  You don’t look so good.”  Goten smiled and said,

“I’m fine.  I’m just a little stressed but hopefully everything will be okay.”  Gohan nodded and asked,

“Have you seen Pan or Trunks around?  I need to talk to them.”   Gohan shook his head no and said,

“I haven’t seen Trunks in a couple of days.  The last time I saw Panny was at the party.  You could ask Bra though, she was at a meeting with Trunks earlier.”  Gohan looked at his brother and asked,

“How do you know that?”  Goten frowned and exclaimed,

“You know she and I talk also!”  Gohan held his hands up and said defensively,

“Hey bro!!! Sorry!  I didn’t mean anything by the statement.”  Goten turned to walk away and said,

“Yeah, whatever.”  The man watched his little brother walk over to a familiar group of men he recognized as Trunks’ and Goten’s group of friends.  He shrugged his shoulders and went to find the young Saiyajin princess.  Once he found the young woman he smiled at how sweet she looked.  He placed his hand on her shoulder and said,

“My dear princess, you look beautiful.”  Bra turned and smiled at Gohan and replied,

“Thank you.  You looked very handsome also Gohan.”  Gohan nodded his thanks and asked,

“Hey have you seen your goofy friend anywhere around here?  I’ve been looking all over the place for her.”  Bra’s eyes widened as she quickly said,

“Um, she’s not here yet.”  Gohan took note of the girl’s facial expression and inquired,

“Didn’t she ride hear with you, Trunks, and your parents?”  Bra looked down at her feet and said,

“Well, she and Trunks rode in a separate car from the rest of us.”  Gohan’s mind screamed every vulgar word he knew as he smiled and said,

“Oh, okay, thanks.  I guess they’ll be arriving soon enough.”, then walked away.  He thought to himself as he went back to his wife’s side,

*Trunks is so fucking dead!!*

Pan and Trunks rode in the limo snuggled close together, despite the spacious area they were in.  Trunks looked at Pan as though he was trying to remember every detail about her.  He took in a deep breath, smelling the gentle smell of her perfume and smiled.  Pan looked out the window and said,

“Trunks what are we going to tell everyone?”  The man raised an eyebrow and said softly,

“The truth.”  She retorted, still not facing him,

“That’s going to be hard,”  she then turn to the man and continued, “Our families are one thing, but you are president of the world’s most innovative company.  The world isn’t going to take lightly to the president of a company like Capsule being with an 18 year old.  I don’t want to ruin everything your family has worked for.”  Trunks sighed and thought for a moment before speaking then said,

“Let’s deal with our families first.  If the media asks about use we’ll just tell them the truth; you’re my close family friend.  That’s not a lie.”  Pan gave a faint smile and said,

“But they’re bound to find out.”  Trunks smiled and said,

“I’ll make an official statement before any rumors can really circulate.  Don’t worry about the company.  We’ve dealt with my dad’s explosive behavior, the gold fighter conspiracy and other weird things.  You and I won’t break the camel’s back.”  Pan leaned her head on his shoulder and said,

“If you say so.”  Trunks gently pulled Pan’s face to his and said telepathically,

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

“Trust me,  everything will work out.”

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

, then he softly kissed her.  Just then the driver stopped in front of the hall.  Trunks smiled and asked Pan,

“Ready to face your parents with this news?”  Pan sighed and said,

“No, but I’m going to anyway.”, and the two exited the car.

Vegeta stood off to the side as he watched the various group of people interact, not that he was really interested in them.  He was more interested in eight particular individuals tonight. 

 

The show should start as soon as Pan and the boy arrive, that is if they do.  Hmm, if they don’t that will only make tomorrow even more interesting.

 

Just at that moment, he saw Gohan’s sit erectly and look directly at the entryway.  He followed the man’s line of sight.  He saw his son walk in with a beautiful young lady in a deep purple gown with her dark hair done in a elegant French bun.  Her makeup and demeanor made Vegeta search her ki signature to ensure that it was indeed Pan.

 

*Well, the girl is pulling out some tricks I didn’t know she had.  I must admit she looks somewhat worthy to be graced with my son’s presence.*

Bra looked over at her brother and gasped.  She went over to the woman standing next to her brother and said,

“Oh my God!!! Pan?  You look so good.”  Pan smiled and forced herself not to blush from her best friend’s loud compliment.  She looked over and saw a great deal of her mother’s male contributors looking at her adoringly.  Bra pulled Pan away from her brother and started asking in a hushed voice,

“So what’s going on between you and my brother?”  Before Pan could answer she heard her father behind her saying,

“That’s exactly what I want to know.”

 

Goten walked over to his friend and smiled.  Trunks, in return, gave a small nervous smile.

*Oh man, I forgot about talking to Goten about this!*

All the sudden, Trunks remembered a small conversation he and Goten had regarding Pan.

##############

“Hey Trunks, why do you stare at Panny so much?”  Trunks looked at his best friend wide eyed and said,

“I don’t know, I guess I’m surprised she’s almost a woman.  Why?”  Goten looked over to his niece and said to his friend,

“Gohan thinks you like her because you spend so much time with her and buy her things.”

“Well, I do.  She’s a sweet girl.”  Goten shook his head as he said,

“Not like that.  You know, like a girlfriend.”  Trunks immediately blushed and said,

“Hey!!! She just a little girl!  You know I wouldn’t even think about trying to date her!”  Goten looked his friend directly in the eyes and said,

“You better not because you won’t only have Gohan to deal with but me too.”  Trunks smiled and jokingly said,

“Hey I can take you on any day man!”  His smiled faded as he saw Goten wasn’t smiling,

“Trunks, I’m serious.  If you even think of dating Pan, you will immediately loose my friendship and gain a new life enemy.  She’s too sweet and innocent for you.”  Trunks gulped and said,

“I got you bro.”

###############

What Trunks didn’t know Goten was thinking about the exact same conversation. 

*Man, I threatened him about Panny and look at me.  I’m bonded to his little sister.  I just hope he doesn’t find out before I can get me and Bra unbonded or I’ll end up eating my words.*

“Hey man,  who was the babe you came in with?”  Trunks smiled and said,

“Oh dude!  You know her real good!  Her name is Pan.”  Goten’s almost choked on the champagne he was drinking, then said,

“What?!?  No way was that my niece!”  Trunks laughed at his friend and said,

“Check her ki.”  Goten did just that and gasped,

“What, what happened to her?”  Trunks nonchalantly said,

“New dress, quick make over.”  Goten looked at his lifelong friend intensely, making the man squirm a bit under the heavy surveillance.  He thought to himself,

*He’s up to something.*

The wild haired man then asked,

“You did this?  Why?”  Trunks cleared his throat and said,

“Can’t I repay my friend a favor?  She helped me today when Bra ditched out on me.  Most likely she went to meet one of her flings.”  Goten’s eye almost bulged out of his eyes at the mention of Bra’s name.  The lavender haired man looked at his friend and asked,

“You okay?  You look sick.”  Goten quickly replied,

“Yeah, I just did get enough rest and I’ve had a trying day.”  It was Trunks’ turn to look intensely at Goten and asked,

“What happened?”  Goten chugged the rest of the champagne in his glass and said with a light chuckle,

“You know, my Saturday afternoon class.”  Trunks smiled and said,

“Oh.”,  as he thought to himself,

*He’s up to something.*

Goten then  took the silence as an opportunity to change the subject by saying,

“Hey, Gohan was looking for you earlier.”  Trunks sighed and lied,

“It’s probably about some of our new medical developments.  I’ll talk to you later G.”

“Later.”

As Trunks walked over to the spot where Gohan and Videl had Pan cornered, he said to himself,

*Okay, this is it.  I hope Gohan doesn’t try to kill me in public.*

Videl looked at her daughter and exclaimed,

“Panny!  You look so beautiful!  I can see why Trunks went to Paris for this dress.  And your hair?  It’s adorable!!! Who did it?”  Gohan looked at his wife as if she’d lost her mind.  Pan smiled at her mother and said,

“Sergio Yusokage.”  Videl gasped and said,

“How did you manage that?”

“Trunks made a couple of phone calls.”  Gohan frowned at the sound of Trunks’ name and interjected,

“Why would he do this for you?”  Pan looked at her father with large eyes and said,

“Because I helped him today.  Bra left him with her work and when I went to visit him I helped him.”  Gohan stared at his daughter.  Behind him he heard a low voice say,

“It’s true, Gohan.”  Gohan spun around to face the man whose caused him a great deal of stress,  he heard his wife tell him to keep his cool.  He closed his eyes and said in a calm voice,

“What are you doing with my daughter?  Don’t tell me nothing because I don’t believe that.”  Trunks looked past Gohan to Pan and said,

“Gohan, I’m in love with Pan.  You may not believe it but it’s true.”  Videl held her head down as she shook it.  Gohan on the other hand, looked at the man with a tensed face and said in a very low, staccato voice,

“WHAT ARE YOU ARE DOING WITH MY DAUGHTER!!!”  Pan quickly interposed,

“Daddy!!!  Trunks and I aren’t doing anything like what you’re thinking!!!  He’s been very respectful and treated me with honor.”  Gohan slowly turned to look at his only child and said in a hushed voice,

“Pan don’t give me that crap!!!  Since you two came back something weird has been going on between you and him!!!”, he turned to Trunks and said, “You constantly buy her gifts and spoil her but you’re fucking a different woman every other month!!!  You’re just trying to take advantage of her because you know she’s naïve and she has an infatuation with you!”  Pan held back her tears as she said,

“Daddy, I can’t believe you!!!  Trunks has been nothing but a perfect gentleman to me.  And for the millionth time, nothing happened on the trip!   And I’m not as naïve as you think!”  Videl and Gohan both  looked at their daughter with a surprised face.  Videl asked in a stern voice,

“Pan, what are you saying?”  Pan looked at her parents and said,

“I’m saying I’m not a virgin.  I haven’t been for a while.  Don’t look at Trunks because he and I have never had sex.  Mom, daddy, I love Trunks.  I have for a long time now.” She then looked directly at the object of her affection, who had a quite surprised look on her face and said,

“And I’m bonding to him.”  Gohan let out a loud sigh and yelled,

“Like hell you are!!!  I don’t want you around him at all!”  Videl yanked at Gohan’s arm and said,

“I do NOT want a scene!!!  This discussion is over for now. Pan, Trunks go to the theater premiere.”  Gohan was about to disagree and Videl grabbed him and said,

“Gohan!  Not now.  We will talk about this at home.  Because I see this won’t be dissolved calmly.”  Gohan stared at Trunks and growled,

“Touch her and I’ll kill you.  You piece of shit.”  Trunks frowned and was about to rebuttal until Pan pulled him away.  He looked at her silently demanding to know why she would let him speak his mind and she said in a weak tone,

“Not at my mom’s campaign party, please.”  He sighed and followed her out of the hall.

Vegeta looked on with Goku as Gohan spoke with Pan and Trunks.  Goku ;leaned in towards his friend and said,

“So they finally decided to admit they loved each other, huh?”  Vegeta looked up at the man and asked in a annoyed tone,

“How do you know this?”  Goku smiled and said,

“It’s obvious.  Pan tried to forget about Trunks by dating four different guys.  Trunks tried to forget about Pan by flipping women every full moon.  But somehow, they become closer and closer.”  Vegeta shook his head and thought to himself,

*He’s a dope when it comes to common sense but a damn genius at fighting and people.  Strange.*

The Saiyajin prince  looked at his comrade with a sneer and said,

“Okay, oh great philosopher, what do you know about your idiot son and my little princess.”  Goku looked at the man with a bewildered face and said,

“I have no clue what you’re talking about.”  Vegeta growled and said,

“Don’t give me that!  You knew when he brought her home.”  Goku sighed and said quietly,

“Okay look, they didn’t mean for this to happen.  It was supposed to be a one time thing.  From what I understand, they are looking for a way to try and break the bond, although I don’t think it’s possible with both of them being alive.”  Vegeta shook his head and said,

“It’s not.  They’re both idiots!”   Goku looked at his comrade and said,

“Vegeta you can’t say anything about what you know.  They’re trying to keep it a secret.  I only know  because I felt the change in their ki signatures.  By the way how do you know?”  Vegeta continued to stare at his daughter watch her mate from across the room and said,

“I tried talking with Bra intuitively and heard her talking to him.  How long have they been bonded Kakkorot?”  Goku looked at his son, who was watching Bra from across the room and said,

“Since this afternoon.”  Vegeta turned to look at Goku fully and yelled,

“What?!?”

 

Okay, I updated in record time.  Now I must write on Saiyajin Revived before the readers stick another pin in that damned voodoo doll.  Review!!!
