Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ A Tale of Mirai ❯ Midnight Tears ( Chapter 5 )

The midnight air felt good flowing towards my body. I stood near the lake, dazed and confused, so many mixed feelings, yet a familair feeling took over, fear.

'Marron is fitting in... She has Bra now. Also her mother, and my mother is alive... But how can I face her..? And I should have been born in this world, but I wasn't... Does us coming here change the fate of time?'

I sighed, the more I thought for answers, the more questions I had racing inside me.

"Pan.. Come inside dear it's cold."

I turned to see the warm smile, the smile of my grandmother Chi-Chi; she was happy to finally have a girl, after all she has 3 boys to worry about.

Videl, my mother, she seemed so happy to find out that in another time line she had a daughter. As well was Gohan gladen to hear the news. Somehow, they are my family, yet not my family.

"Are you coming Pan?"

I walked towards Chi-Chi and bowed my head, then suddenly I stopped.

"Is Trunks in there?"

I was still bitter.

Chi-Chi nodded.

"I will..."

I sighed and followed her inside to a warm room, with happy faces.

I saw my grandfather Goku sitting in the center of the room smiling and laughing. Vegeta, like always stood alone leaning on a wall, watching, yet laughing on the inside. Krillin, my grandfather's best friend was there too, joining in on the laughing as well, he was Marron's father and she had always looked up to him. My mother and father were there too, and they greeted me with open arms and a warm smile.

"Hello Pan."

Videl smiled and hugged me tightly.

"Glad to see you out from the cold Pan-Chan."

Gohan joined me in a hug when Videl's arms left me.

"Hey... again Panny."

I looked over to a small chair off to the side, only to lock eyes with Trunks.

"I wish you would stop calling me that."

Trunks smiled and laughed.

"I don't think this is funny at all Trunks."

I was getting annoyed.

"Well, Pan you look cute when mad, so I want to get you there as much I as can."

He gave me a flirty wink, in turn I glared at him.

"Trunks! Stop teasing Pan!"

Bulma enter the room and my mouth dropped open. She was young and her hair was a pale blue that almost glowed and lit the whole room. She had money, I could tell, she liked to show it.

"Yes mom."

Trunks' eyes locked onto my body, moving up and down, then going to one spot.

'Ugh, I hate him, but let's play his game...'

I smirked and he knew something was up. I leaned back on the wall like Vegeta and folded my arms across my chest, blocking it from Trunks' dream stare.

'Sucks to be you Trunks.'

I sent him my winning smile and turned it back into my normal expression; plain showing no feeling once so ever.

"I thought tonight we could have a party in honor or our 2 guests."

Bulma smiled brightly and looked over to Bra who showed her bright smile.

"Great idea mom! I'm sure Pan and Marron would enjoy going shopping with me."

Marron and I froze.

"Dresses? As in make up?"

Marron had an unsure voice.

"Yeah! What else Marron? You do like to go shopping, don't you?"

Bra's smile faded into a confused look.

"Sorry girls, but my dorky sister only has friends who like to do nothing but shop."

Trunks stood up from his seat and smirked at his little sister, Bra.

"WHAT?! How dare you Trunks... Least I have friends!"

"I have friends, ones that I don't need to buy, like you."

"I don't buy my friends!"

Bra's whining could break glass.

"Enough! Both of you!"

Bulma tapped her foot annoyed at the actions of her children. Trunks lowered his head and Bra stuck out her tonuge at him.

"Well... Um, I really, don't um, want to, spend your money! Yeah, I have none. Sorry, guess that means we can't go shopping."

Marron was lying, I knew she didn't like shopping, not one bit. She would rather sit around working on mech, or training to become faster and stronger.

"Well I could loan you money. Pay me back."

Bra was trying her best to get Marron to go out shopping with her.

"Sorry, I don't like be in debt to people."

Marron smiled as best as she could.

"Well, what about you Pan."

I looked over to Bra and stood up from where I was leaning.

"I hate dresses."

Bra frowned.

"Well Marron! You could use one of mine!"

Marron sighed giving up, earning Bra's good old smile back on her rosey painted cheeks.

"This will be fun!"

Bra jumped up from her place on the couch and grabbed Marron's arm, pulling her up from the chair and dragged her into the next room.

"That's Bra for you."

Krillin laughed along with Goku.

"Hey Pan you have to come too you know."

Bra's head poped back into the room.

"....."

"Pan! Come on!"

Bra's whining started again.

"I..."

"Pan can't Bra."

I was cut off by Trunks.

"Pan is going to train with me tonight, Bra."

Everyone in the room stopped talking and looked over at us.

"I am?"

I gave Trunks a death glare, only to get a nod in return.

"Oh! Yeah I am."

Bra frowned.

"Fine! Me and Marron will have all the fun!"

With that Bra stormed off.

"Thanks..."

I mumbled and started to move away from Trunks, who only reached out and grabbed my arm, stopping me.

"Hey, you agreed! We are going to train."

Trunks smirked.

"...I never agreed..."

"Come on Panny, don't be a stick in the mud."

"Don't call me-"

I stopped myself holding myself back from lashing out at him. I had a better idea.

"Sure Trunks. I'll train with you."

His mouth dropped open, that gained my fake prefect smile.

"Be ready in the back Trunks..."

I walked through the now loud talking room to the back door leaving a shocked Trunks standing there.

'I bet he's wondering why the change of heart on my part was for.. He'll see, when we train that is.'

I laughed inside, knowing my plan was fulproof.
