Arranged Love
Chapter 4 : A Preparation
"Isn't it about time that my uncle and the prince arrive?" asked Pan of her great grandfather as she moved toward the Gravity Capsule on the palace. She had been unable to sleep, this being the first day that she spent outside of her bed or the planet for that matter. She wasn't one to feel regret when she left her house but she needed time to adjust her sleeping habits and adjust herself to the new bed.
"Yes," answered Bardock. "But if as they said to you, that they had some troubles then that might be the cause for the delay."
They continued walking in silence as Pan had no way of knowing what to ask. They stopped as Bardock put his hand on an identification board and the door opened automatically. They entered, both in attire to spar.
Not knowing what else to ask or managed to keep this to herself, Pan had to ask something. She knew that Bardock was very close to the princess so he might be able to answer her curiosity.
"Bardock?" she called to gain his attention. He turned to her expecting a question to be raised to him. "I don't know if this is any of my business but I can't help to wonder something about the behavior of the princess."
Bardock saw that she was stalling somehow. He guessed that she was shy to really ask the question. "Spit it out already."
"Why is it that the princess changes moods whenever I mention uncle Goten?" There, she was able to get it out of her. Now, she hoped that he could answer her question.
"So," he moved to set the gravity of the machine. "You don't know of the arrangement that King Vegeta has made?"
"I don't know," she answered truthfully. "I haven't actually been really concerned with anything that was happening in this country."
"I see," he eyed her from the corner of his eyes. "If you must know," he started in a matter of fact tone. "Princess Bra is to marry your Uncle Goten."
She was stupefied. He saw it as soon as her face changed. It must have been a great shock. "You mean as an Arranged Marriage?" Her tone was of not believe.
"Yes," he simply answered as he turned on the Gravity for 300 of Earth's own gravity.
"I thought those didn't exist anymore," said Pan to herself as she started to warm up.
"It's a rule in the planet that when the princess comes of age, that is 18 in here," declared Bardock. "That she must marry a man of great rank."
"Why my uncle then?" Pan couldn't help but ask the question. For all she knew that her family was only part Vegetian and not of great rank.
"Surely you have heard of your Grandfather being a hero in this planet and the galaxy for that matter." Bardock would have killed his son if she answered no.
"Yes," replied Pan as she levitated to the air. "That he and the king got rid of Freeza who planned to destroy the planet and take over the universe." She said uninterested.
Bardock choose the time to levitate. "Well," he continued. "Your family is one of the top ranked on the planet."
"This country is based on elites, first class, second class, third class and so on, right?" Pan wanted to get this straight.
"Yes," Bardock sighted. "At least they taught you something on Earth. Basically first class and elites are the same title but 'Elite' is the one that is most used among us."
"I think that's kind of in the dark ages, if you ask me," Pan muttered to herself.
"No one asked you in any case," Bardock remarked as he launched himself at her. "My son tells me that you are really powerful. Let's see if he's right."

"We will arrive in four hours Trunks," said Goten from his pod to the other. It was time to leave for the Vegetian planet. They were behind their own schedule.
"Thank you Goten," answered a voice through the communication from his side. "Let's hope we do not have to make another stop." Trunks rolled his eyes as he remembered all they had to do to get the things running again. "If I knew that this was going to take so long, I would have told you to let your niece give us a ride."
"I know what you're saying," replied Goten as he relaxed to the seat. There was a silence in the communication for some time. "Are you still awake Trunks?"
"Hn," he grunted as he was disturbed. "I am now."
"Sorry," mumbled Goten. "I was wondering if I have to call you your highness when we get there to the planet."
"Goten, you're practically family," responded Trunks laughing. "I don't think that will last too long anyway. I don't want you to anyway. It would be too awkward for us."
"I know," said Goten as he looked at the stars passing. "I don't really mind calling you that but I would feel weird. I've never had a king or queen before in my life."
"Don't worry about it," interrupted Trunks as he used his forced tone. "You're practically my brother in law."
There was a forced silence as the words were uttered. "Do you mind?"
"Do I mind what?" questioned Trunks.
"My marrying your sister," responded Goten. There was some time before he heard anything from his friend.
"I think that I would mind anyone marrying my sister." Responded Trunks thinking to himself. "I'm sort of glad that it's you though. I know you'll make her happy." Both continued to look at the display that lay before them in space. A meteor shower was a beautiful thing to see. "You also know that if you do anything to her that you are a dead man."
Goten heard the seriousness in his voice. He knew that his friend cared a lot about his sister than what he led on to anyone else. As he had been told. Princess had been taught to forget a lot of feelings but to be stronger and held power in that race. There was a fluke though, he told himself. They are like everyone else and even if people think that they are different. They aren't.
"It's a surprise," Goten managed to say as he tried to change the atmosphere that was build up.
"What?"
"That you didn't kill your father when you found out," Goten laughed at that. "Or me for that matter," he told that to himself.
"It wouldn't have changed a thing," Trunks shifted his position on the pod. "I really hope that Bra takes it well when she learns about this."
"You have to tell me about her," Goten remembered that neither of them had approached the subject of the princess on the whole year that they had spend alone together.
"I'll mostly warn you about her," Trunks laughed at the things that he and Bra had done when they were children. "You'll be taking a lot when you marry her. Maybe more than you can handle."
***
Bra sneezed as she stopped walking making her way to Pan's bedroom. This wasn't time for her seasonal allergies. Maybe she was getting something else. She hoped not. Sleeping sick isn't a good thing. She made her way to the door and knocked. She waited a minute and knocked again getting no response. She pressed her palm to the reader and waited for the door to open.
She glanced into the room expecting her new friend and acquaintance to be at her bed. Finding it empty, she moved inside as if to try and see if she was somewhere in within her quarters. Managing to find the whole place empty, she walked out and into the gyms and machine's of the palace. It was almost time for her meeting with Bardock and he might know where Pan might be.
She passed a Gravity Machine with no hid and not paying attention. She was about to turn to a corner when she heard a great explosion. She wondered who could make such a powerful attack. She moved back toward the machine and glanced in through the glass. There was Pan and Bardock looking at each other as if staring each other down. Not caring for anything, she opened the door and entered the room.
"I hope that I'm not interrupting," she managed to say as she found her teacher in rags. She almost busted out laughing but managed to contain herself.
"A good time too," he managed to say as he strained his muscles. "There's no use fighting this girl when she turns Super Saiyan."
"Why Bardock," said Pan mocking astonishment. "I hope I didn't throw you around too much."
"Don't worry," he said as he pulled himself to the door. "I've been through worse."
"What about our classes?" Asked Bra as she saw Bardock leaving the Gravity Machine.
"Canceled," he mumbled as he moved a step further. "I need to go to the infirmary to get these bones set into place."
"Oh well," Bra turned to Pan smiling. "I won't miss it." Pan laughed at her frankness. The princess was truly something. "What shall we do today?"
Pan didn't know how to respond. "I don't know a thing about where I am, princess."
"Call me Bra," she said smiling. "I really hope that you didn't spend the whole night sparring with Bardock."
"No," she breathed a sight of relief. "I spent mostly two hours. I didn't sleep well."
"Is the bed uncomfortable?"
"No, not really." answered Pan. "I just have to get used to it."
"I wouldn't know," murmured Bra. "I haven't been allowed to set foot outside of this place."
"Until yesterday," mentioned Pan as they walked back toward their rooms. "I want to take a really heavy bath and have a big breakfast. All this fighting really wore off my energy."
"Bardock is one of the strongest saiyan of the planet," said Bra moving through the halls.
"I know," Pan cracked her neck. "I even had to turn to Super Saiyan."
Bra stopped a second before regaining her stride. "How long have you been able to turn Super Saiyan?"
"Since I was about 10 years old. Why?" She asked in return.
"I was just wondering," answered Bra." There hasn't been any other known saiyan to turn Super in here except for Trunks and myself. And of course our father."
"How did you do it?"
"Trunks got me really mad on a sparing match when we were little. He turned Super while we were sparring and almost killed me. I got so mad at him for using such force on me when he knew that I wasn't really strong. Something snapped and the next thing I knew, I lurched at him and landing a punch on him making him unconscious."
"With just one blow?"
"I think he was off guard." Bra tried to amend the pride of her brother. "I think he did it on purpose that day."
"I know what you're saying." Pan stopped in front of her room and opened the door. It slid open and both women entered the room. Ban was inside making the sheets of the bed. "I totally forgot to make those when I got up." She scolded herself.
"Don't worry about it," Ban interfered. "I look around the room to make sure that everything is in place."
"I'm used to making everything for myself. I don't like to depend on other people." Pan tried to explain to them. "I like to do things myself."
"That won't be easy around here," said Bra as she sat on the recliner of the room. "Specially if you meet Agatha."
"That's like your nanny right?"
"Uh-huh," agreed Bra. "She's been in the palace even before my father was born."
"You're mother told me about her on Earth," Pan rummaged through her things to move to the bathroom.
"Do you mind if I see more of your dresses?" Asked Bra shyly. She wanted to see what the type of dresses they wore on Earth.
"I don't really use them," said Pan as she took the things she needed. "Do whatever you want with them."
"I just want to see them," replied Bra as she moved to the closets. She herself had helped unpacked. She knew where the things were.
She was half way through the closet when she noticed that Ban had not left the room. She looked questioning at her.
"I wanted to see the dresses too," she said in her defense. "I really do think that the dark blue one was made for you."
Bra threw her a warning glance. "What?" Ban protested. "I just said the truth." She managed to say before slipping off of the room. She had many things to do. Wanting to go back to the dress that Ban had mentioned, she rummaged through the racks to it. She marveled it as she took it out for a close inspection.
The dress was a dark blue color of satin as she could see. There were impressions of it as if waves of the sea were imprinted on it. Bra moved to the body mirror to the side of the closet and put it before her to see how she would look.
"Do you like it?" asked Pan as she moved out of the bathroom on new clothes. Bra moved at that moment with the dress still before her. "It looks good. I think it's just about your size."
"I have never wore this type of things," said Bra turning herself to the mirror again. "I think the color does suit me."
"I think that you should try it on." said Pan not waiting for something else.
"I don't think that I can do that. This is yours."
"I don't want it." Pan replied. "If I'm right, the material hugs my skin. I don't like that kind of thing."
"I can see if it fits me," Bra started to convince herself to do it. "Can I take it to my room to see if it fits?"
"Sure," Pan put on her shoes and walked right to the door. Bra looked at the closet again and an idea came to her head. She could coax it into what she was thinking. She looked for the thing she was looking for and took it too.
"I have a great idea." She said out loud getting Pan's attention. She started to wonder what the princess could be up to. She had too noticed that she had taken another dress off of the dresser and she didn't mind. The less that she would have to pack when she returned to Earth.
They crossed the hall to Bra's room and entered it. A woman of a very old age was about to emerge from it when they entered. She looked scared as she saw both of them appear out of nowhere.
"Gosh," she said breathing slowly. "You two girls scared me half to death." She looked at both Pan and Bra. Just like she had thought, it was all going to what she had seen herself.
"Good morning princess," she said to Bra. "And good morning to you too Pan. I'm glad that we finally meet."
"You're Agatha, right?" Asked Pan as the old woman kissed her on the cheek.
"Yes," she answered. "I hope you two have a good day." She moved out of the way for them to enter and she moved to the door. "I'll send Ban for you Bra," and she exited the room.
"How does she manage to know what I want?" Bra asked herself. Agatha didn't stop amazing her.
"Thanks," she managed to say before the door closed. She laid both dresses on the bed and Pan threw herself at it to lay her broken bones.
"Don't you think that we should eat first?" asked Pan, her stomach rumbling for something to make it's way in.
"I think that Agatha will send Ban with trays for us," answered Bra as she turned to her dresser. "I don't know how she knows what we need."
"Living a long time with someone puts you in record to what things they like and need. And I speak from my mother's personal experience."
"You told me yesterday that your family is quite rich on Earth," Bra started trying to keep something going while she got what she needed.
"Yes," Pan turned herself to her. "My mother is practically the richest person in there with the exception of the Briefs."
"My mother's family?" expressed Bra in surprise.
"Yeah. They have a hold on the basic economy of not only our country but most of the planet."
"That's a lot of power," Bra realized the content of what she said.
"You should go to Earth sometime Bra," started Pan. "It's a really good planet. Plus, you have family there that I know are dying to meet you."
"I do want to know my grandparents," said Bra as she extracted something from her dresser.
"I've meet them," interrupted Pan. "Most of my life actually. We're basically family."
"Yeah," Bra seemed a little absentminded. She moved to behind a curtain and started to change. Then, the door opened and a smiling Ban came into the room. She had with her many trays of food for breakfast. Pancakes, toast, juice... omelet, anything you could want was on the plate.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything," she said as she entered the room. "I brought breakfast and told the King and Queen that you would be not meeting them for breakfast."
"Thank you Ban," yelled Bra from the other side of the curtain. She had taken her brazier off.
"What is she doing?" Ban asked silently at Pan who was about to attack the plates of food.
"She's trying on a dress that I brought with me," she answered and started to eat. "This is good. I'm so hungry."
"I quite understand that," said Ban smiling. She moved to the curtain to help Bra in any way that she could. "I'll do it, hold on."
Bra emerged from behind the curtain moments later with a dark blue dress on. She looked in the mirror and smiled. It was perfect. She liked it. It framed to her body in a way to make any guy stare and that was an effect that she liked.
The dress was not short, but not long on the definition. It had a low cut that accentuated her breasts and thin waist. There were thin strips that went around her shoulders and crossed at her back. She had put on a strapless bra of the same color making it seem impossible to notice. It dropped to her knees as she saw herself standing. She guessed that by the fabric, that it was going to up when she seated herself. She had noticed that there were two cuts, each one by the sides that went up to the middle of her tights and higher. For what she saw, it was sensual with a color of sensibility and brake.
Ban appeared behind her with a knowing smile. She was waiting for her thanks. "You were right Ban," started Bra as she looked at her back. "This is a dress made for me."
"I know the perfect thing to go with it on your hair style," Ban led the princess to the table and brought a tray to her. "But, you have to eat something first. I'll look for the things that I need but I want to see this clean when I come back."
"Thanks Ban," the girl left the room skipping to look for the things she wanted. "I adore that girl."
"I can see why," said Pan in between foods. "She's like a little sister."
"She is part of my family for all I want to know," said Bra to herself. "She's like us, half-saiyans instead of the full blooded. She acts like us. I think it was the influence that Agatha and my mother had on her."
"She's been here since she was born?" asked Pan curiously.
"Her mother died on a enormous flood that we had fourteen years ago," explained Bra. "She was only a baby but Agatha she found her took her in. My mother was with her that day and she helped convince my father to let her stay here. Although I don't think that it was necessary. Agatha says that he was taken with her when they found her and he'll do anything that Agatha wants."
"She's like a mother to him?" asked Pan again.
"Yes," they continued to eat in silence until Ban appeared with a bag full of things.
"I'll tell Theo to come get the trays," responded Ban as she left the things on the bed and took most of the trays to the hallway.
"Who's Theo?" Pan inquired as she finished her orange juice.
"He's the Cook's nephew. He helps around the kitchen and in exchange he gets classes from the palace teachers."
"That's a nice arrangement."
"Yes," Bra lowered her voice from the sounds of people coming to the hallway. "I think that he's got a crush on Ban. But you didn't hear it from me. Just watch the way that he acts around her."
Bra continued with her administrations as both saiyans showed up together. Ban was bouncing from here to there, her presence showing the mirth in herself. Theo just walked as any normal saiyan as he silently followed her. Pan noted the way he would stop in a second to check himself. She smirked as she knew that what Bra had said was right. He was in some kind of way affected by Ban's presence.
It took five minutes to get everything out of the room and Theo left on his way as Ban stayed behind as she studied the dress that was left on the bed. Pan got closer to Bra and leaned in. "I see what you mean."
"Told you so," Bra smiled as she saw Ban turn back to them with the dress in her hands.
"Are you going to try this one too?" Pan asked as she checked the mirror to see if there were any marks showing on her skin. There were none.
"No," she answered simply as Ban closed the door of the room and got closer to them. "I want to see how you'd look in it."
"What?" Pan was caught in surprise. "Oh, no. I'm not going to try that thing on." She stood proud as both girls continued to advance toward her.
"We'll see."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope this was entertaining, at least somewhat. Anyway, let's fix Pan up for the arrival. On the next chapter, Pan and Trunks meet as the prince and Goten come back at an unexpected time. Bra and Goten see each other again after a whole year... how would they act around each other? In the presence of everyone else?
I hope it doesn't take long to get it out.

"That won't be easy around here," said Bra as she sat on the recliner of the room. "Specially if you meet Agatha."
"That's like your nanny right?"
"Uh-huh," agreed Bra. "She's been in the palace even before my father was born."
"You're mother told me about her on Earth," Pan rummaged through her things to move to the bathroom.
"Do you mind if I see more of your dresses?" Asked Bra shyly. She wanted to see what the type of dresses they wore on Earth.
"I don't really use them," said Pan as she took the things she needed. "Do whatever you want with them."
"I just want to see them," replied Bra as she moved to the closets. She herself had helped unpacked. She knew where the things were.
She was half way through the closet when she noticed that Ban had not left the room. She looked questioning at her.
"I wanted to see the dresses too," she said in her defense. "I really do think that the dark blue one was made for you."
Bra threw her a warning glance. "What?" Ban protested. "I just said the truth." She managed to say before slipping off of the room. She had many things to do. Wanting to go back to the dress that Ban had mentioned, she rummaged through the racks to it. She marveled it as she took it out for a close inspection.
The dress was a dark blue color of satin as she could see. There were impressions of it as if waves of the sea were imprinted on it. Bra moved to the body mirror to the side of the closet and put it before her to see how she would look.
"Do you like it?" asked Pan as she moved out of the bathroom on new clothes. Bra moved at that moment with the dress still before her. "It looks good. I think it's just about your size."
"I have never wore this type of things," said Bra turning herself to the mirror again. "I think the color does suit me."
"I think that you should try it on." said Pan not waiting for something else.
"I don't think that I can do that. This is yours."
"I don't want it." Pan replied. "If I'm right, the material hugs my skin. I don't like that kind of thing."
"I can see if it fits me," Bra started to convince herself to do it. "Can I take it to my room to see if it fits?"
"Sure," Pan put on her shoes and walked right to the door. Bra looked at the closet again and an idea came to her head. She could coax it into what she was thinking. She looked for the thing she was looking for and took it too.
"I have a great idea." She said out loud getting Pan's attention. She started to wonder what the princess could be up to. She had too noticed that she had taken another dress off of the dresser and she didn't mind. The less that she would have to pack when she returned to Earth.
They crossed the hall to Bra's room and entered it. A woman of a very old age was about to emerge from it when they entered. She looked scared as she saw both of them appear out of nowhere.
"Gosh," she said breathing slowly. "You two girls scared me half to death." She looked at both Pan and Bra. Just like she had thought, it was all going to what she had seen herself.
"Good morning princess," she said to Bra. "And good morning to you too Pan. I'm glad that we finally meet."
"You're Agatha, right?" Asked Pan as the old woman kissed her on the cheek.
"Yes," she answered. "I hope you two have a good day." She moved out of the way for them to enter and she moved to the door. "I'll send Ban for you Bra," and she exited the room.
"How does she manage to know what I want?" Bra asked herself. Agatha didn't stop amazing her.
"Thanks," she managed to say before the door closed. She laid both dresses on the bed and Pan threw herself at it to lay her broken bones.
"Don't you think that we should eat first?" asked Pan, her stomach rumbling for something to make it's way in.
"I think that Agatha will send Ban with trays for us," answered Bra as she turned to her dresser. "I don't know how she knows what we need."
"Living a long time with someone puts you in record to what things they like and need. And I speak from my mother's personal experience."
"You told me yesterday that your family is quite rich on Earth," Bra started trying to keep something going while she got what she needed.
"Yes," Pan turned herself to her. "My mother is practically the richest person in there with the exception of the Briefs."
"My mother's family?" expressed Bra in surprise.
"Yeah. They have a hold on the basic economy of not only our country but most of the planet."
"That's a lot of power," Bra realized the content of what she said.
"You should go to Earth sometime Bra," started Pan. "It's a really good planet. Plus, you have family there that I know are dying to meet you."
"I do want to know my grandparents," said Bra as she extracted something from her dresser.
"I've meet them," interrupted Pan. "Most of my life actually. We're basically family."
"Yeah," Bra seemed a little absentminded. She moved to behind a curtain and started to change. Then, the door opened and a smiling Ban came into the room. She had with her many trays of food for breakfast. Pancakes, toast, juice... omelet, anything you could want was on the plate.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything," she said as she entered the room. "I brought breakfast and told the King and Queen that you would be not meeting them for breakfast."
"Thank you Ban," yelled Bra from the other side of the curtain. She had taken her brazier off.
"What is she doing?" Ban asked silently at Pan who was about to attack the plates of food.
"She's trying on a dress that I brought with me," she answered and started to eat. "This is good. I'm so hungry."
"I quite understand that," said Ban smiling. She moved to the curtain to help Bra in any way that she could. "I'll do it, hold on."
Bra emerged from behind the curtain moments later with a dark blue dress on. She looked in the mirror and smiled. It was perfect. She liked it. It framed to her body in a way to make any guy stare and that was an effect that she liked.
The dress was not short, but not long on the definition. It had a low cut that accentuated her breasts and thin waist. There were thin strips that went around her shoulders and crossed at her back. She had put on a strapless bra of the same color making it seem impossible to notice. It dropped to her knees as she saw herself standing. She guessed that by the fabric, that it was going to up when she seated herself. She had noticed that there were two cuts, each one by the sides that went up to the middle of her tights and higher. For what she saw, it was sensual with a color of sensibility and brake.
Ban appeared behind her with a knowing smile. She was waiting for her thanks. "You were right Ban," started Bra as she looked at her back. "This is a dress made for me."
"I know the perfect thing to go with it on your hair style," Ban led the princess to the table and brought a tray to her. "But, you have to eat something first. I'll look for the things that I need but I want to see this clean when I come back."
"Thanks Ban," the girl left the room skipping to look for the things she wanted. "I adore that girl."
"I can see why," said Pan in between foods. "She's like a little sister."
"She is part of my family for all I want to know," said Bra to herself. "She's like us, half-saiyans instead of the full blooded. She acts like us. I think it was the influence that Agatha and my mother had on her."
"She's been here since she was born?" asked Pan curiously.
"Her mother died on a enormous flood that we had fourteen years ago," explained Bra. "She was only a baby but Agatha she found her took her in. My mother was with her that day and she helped convince my father to let her stay here. Although I don't think that it was necessary. Agatha says that he was taken with her when they found her and he'll do anything that Agatha wants."
"She's like a mother to him?" asked Pan again.
"Yes," they continued to eat in silence until Ban appeared with a bag full of things.
"I'll tell Theo to come get the trays," responded Ban as she left the things on the bed and took most of the trays to the hallway.
"Who's Theo?" Pan inquired as she finished her orange juice.
"He's the Cook's nephew. He helps around the kitchen and in exchange he gets classes from the palace teachers."
"That's a nice arrangement."
"Yes," Bra lowered her voice from the sounds of people coming to the hallway. "I think that he's got a crush on Ban. But you didn't hear it from me. Just watch the way that he acts around her."
Bra continued with her administrations as both saiyans showed up together. Ban was bouncing from here to there, her presence showing the mirth in herself. Theo just walked as any normal saiyan as he silently followed her. Pan noted the way he would stop in a second to check himself. She smirked as she knew that what Bra had said was right. He was in some kind of way affected by Ban's presence.
It took five minutes to get everything out of the room and Theo left on his way as Ban stayed behind as she studied the dress that was left on the bed. Pan got closer to Bra and leaned in. "I see what you mean."
"Told you so," Bra smiled as she saw Ban turn back to them with the dress in her hands.
"Are you going to try this one too?" Pan asked as she checked the mirror to see if there were any marks showing on her skin. There were none.
"No," she answered simply as Ban closed the door of the room and got closer to them. "I want to see how you'd look in it."
"What?" Pan was caught in surprise. "Oh, no. I'm not going to try that thing on." She stood proud as both girls continued to advance toward her.
"We'll see."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope this was entertaining, at least somewhat. Anyway, let's fix Pan up for the arrival. On the next chapter, Pan and Trunks meet as the prince and Goten come back at an unexpected time. Bra and Goten see each other again after a whole year... how would they act around each other? In the presence of everyone else?
I hope it doesn't take long to get it out.
