Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ The Night of No Regrets ❯ The Search ( Chapter 7 )

I'm back again.... Yes I know I killed Goten, but at least we know he is coming back... or is he...... I guess we'll just see won't we..... Poor Bra. I'm so sorry about it taking so long……… college has been sooo stressful and it takes a while to get settled into dorm life. I'm sorry if there are a hella lot of misspellings and grammar mistakes. I finally wrote it and I thought I would just post it since I took so long writing it. Sorry. Hope it's not crap too. The change in place of writing could have something to do with it or this guy I know who has in some ways made my life hell. Anyways there's the lasted chapter in THE NIGHT OF NO REGRETS!!! Finally!?!?!? Yeah I know. Sorry again.

Pan came to Capsule Corp. at 5 am. She let herself in and went upstairs to Bra's room. She found her as though she hadn't slept all night looking at a huge hole in her ceiling.

"Pan?" She asked with her back to the door.

"Yeah, Bra it's me. Did you sleep at all?"

"No, I couldn't. First with Goten, and daddy didn't come home last night. I said such awful things, that I didn't mean. I was just angry at him and lost control."

Pan walked over the bed and sat down. "Vegeta can take care of himself. He'll be back. He always comes back."

"I hope so," Bra turned to face her. "Is Trunks ready?"

"I don't know. I just got here."

Bra sat up. "Well, let's go see if we can find him." She got out of bed and put on her robe. The ventured down the hall to his room. Bra knocked... no reply.... she knocked again... no reply. She opened the door and went inside. They found him sleeping soundly curled into a ball.

"Aww, isn't that cute..." Pan said mockingly.

"Not really, and it's time he got his lazy ass out of bed. TRUNKS!!!!!!!!!!!" She yelled and shook him harshly.

His eyes flew open. "I'm awake, I'm awake."

"Good... Pan's ready to go. Get your ass out of bed."

"Okay okay you get more like mom everyday." He got out of bed and went to shower. Bra got some clothes out and laid them on the bed. They went down stairs to wait. 20 minutes later Trunks came back humming, freshly showered, and dressed.

"Ready?" Pan asked.

"I need to go to mom's lab and pick up the radar, but first I have to get some breakfast."

"How can you think of eating at a time like this?" Bra nearly screamed.

"Easy, I'm saiyan. Anyway Goten would understand. I bet he's having a ball anyway with Goku. It'll take a couple days to get all the balls. They'll have a nice visit."

"Whatever, just hurry, okay?"

"Okay okay it's not like you have plans or anything. You haven't even told mom yet or set a wedding date."

"But they do have a maid of honor." Pan inserted trying to end the stupid sibling squabble.

Both looked at her blankly then smiled.

"Okay now that that's over, Trunks grab some breakfast while Bra and I get the radar."

Bra and Pan headed down to Bulma's basement lab in search of the dragon ball radar. When they came through the door they saw masses and masses of metal wires and anything imaginable.

"You do know where it is right?" Pan asked hopefully.

"No... but I think she keeps it in a drawer somewhere."

"Well that really helps. I'll take those over in the corner. You take those beside the computer. We'll find it."

After 2 hours of searching they still hadn't found it. They were beginning to lose hope. Trunks came down to see what was taking so long.

"Are you just now finished with breakfast?" Bra glared at him.

"Maybe...."

"Saiyans."

Pan started to giggle. Trunks joined whole heartedly. Finally Bra laughed, too.

"We can't find the radar, and we've looked everywhere." Pan explained.

"Mom's up. Bra, go ask her for it. That way you can explain why dad is gone; why I won't be at work; and why we need the radar."

"Tell mom?" Bra panicked.

"It's not like it can get any worse. You do have to tell her just get it over it."

"But..."

"No buts Bra get up there and explain everything to Bulma." Pan ordered.

"Okay okay...." Bra climbed the stairs as if she was facing a lethal injection or worse.

After many shed tears, Bulma took Bra in her arms and told her everything would be alright.

Meanwhile, Pan and Trunks were still looking for the radar.

"It's just not here." Pan proclaimed.

"It has to be mom never throws anything away."

"Well, I don't know……"

"This whole thing is just crazy."

"Do you know of anything that happens in our families that isn't just down right insane?" Pan asked with a raise brow.

"You do have a point, but my best friend and sister planning to get married and my dad killing my best friend is the most insane as of yet."

"This from the guy whose mom met her son before he was even born." Pan smiled.

A silence fell between them as they just looked at each other.

Trunks shook himself back to consciousness. "I packed some supplies for our trip."

"Really? What besides food?"

"A capsule house, some ATV's, cars, boats, water, whatever I thought we might need."

"Okay, but if we can't find the radar there's no point."

"True, I really hope we find it. One because of Goten and all, but two I don't want to go to work."

"Trunks you're such a slacker sometimes."

"Hey, you have no room to talk. You draw and get to be in your zone all day. I get to sign papers, go to board meetings, and worry about stocks."

"But you love it. You know you do. It's the kill of the business that you love. It's just so saiyan."

Trunks smiled at her. Ever since he and Goten had talked about their little group not being as close, he realized that he missed them more that he really knew, and talking to Panny no Pan-chan helped a lot because he knew that they would always be close he could just feel it.

Mother and daughter joined them in the lab.

Bulma walked over to a drawer and went through it twice. "It's not here."

"We knew that." Pan stated plainly.

"No, I mean it's not in the lab. I always keep it here ever since I made it. Hmm I don't know what could have happened to it. Oh well."

"What do you mean oh well??????" Bra nearly screamed.

"Honey calm down. I mean I'll just make another one. It should only take a couple hours. Then Pan and Trunks can be on their way. All right?"

Bra sighed and nodded her head in agreement.

Bulma went to work after demanding privacy in her lab. So, the kids went into the living room to watch some talk and watch TV.

"So what do you think the colors will be?" Pan asked.

"What are you talking about?" Bra gave a confused look.

"The wedding colors, what do you think they will be?"

"White and royal blue."

"Suck up." Trunks teased.

"Huh?" Pan was confused now.

"She chose white and royal blue because they are the royal colors of Vegetasei. She's on this guilt trip because dad's not home. So she wants to make it all better."

"I happen to like royal blue."

"Yeah yeah sure sure."

"Trunks shut up. You'll never get married so you don't have to worry about it." Just add her own touch Bra stuck her tongue out.

"Nice Bra very nice."

"I know."

"You guys have some serious problems. Well I think white and royal blue are great if the blue is a really pure one."

"You can help pick the blue."

"Yay."

"Why can't a pick the blue." Trunks whined just to tease her.

"Because you have bad taste." Pan smiled evilly.

Trunks narrowed his eyes but then smiled. It was then that Bulma came back with her newly made and innovated dragon ball radar. "Here you go." She handed it to Pan. After looking at it for a few seconds she clicked the button but now dragon balls appeared. Pan adjusted the range, but still not dragon balls come on radar. "I think it needs work."

"What? No, it was working in the lab, there were 2 a very short distance from here." Bulma assured.

"But nothing's coming up now." Pan handed it back to her for inspection. Bulma's eyes widened in confusion. She took the casing off and tinkered with some circuits. Still nothing.

"Maybe someone made a wish." Trunks spoke up.

"NO! That means that it will be a year before Goten can come back!" Bra almost burst into tears."

"Man today is just not you're day." Trunks said mockingly.

Bra pounced him causing both to fall to the floor. She assaulted Trunks with all her strength. Pan was cracking up as Bulma shook her head with disapproval. "Bra get off your brother this instant! You know there is no fighting in the house!"

Bra did as told and even offered him a hand up.

"Sorry sis. How about Pan and I fly up to see Dende he will know if someone made a wish."

"Okay… But I don't think I can wait a year. I miss him so much."

"Hey that's life. We'll get you through it." Pan offered.

Bra nodded in submission. Trunks went to Pan, and they walked out the door and took to the sky.

The trip to Dende confirmed what they had thought. Someone had called the dragon, and Bra would have to wait a year to wish Goten back. She took it pretty hard but Trunks and Pan helped her coupe the first few hours. Then she accepted it.

"Trunks, do you think dad will come back?"

"He always comes back."

"I know, but I never told him I never wanted to see him again before."

Trunks gathered his baby sister in his arms for a hug. "Sis, dad's okay. He still loves you more than anything and will be back. Just give him time."

She hugged him back. "Can you sense him anywhere?"

Trunks cleared his mind and concentrated on Vegeta's ki. After a few moments he sighed. "He's out there somewhere very far away in the east. He's fine."

Bra yawned, "That's great." Then feel asleep in her brother's arms.

Trunks picked her up and carried her to her room. After seeing the huge hole that was her ceiling he opted to take her to a guest room. He tucked her in and placed a kiss on her forehead. "No worries, they're both fine." He whispered and rose to leave.

Okay wow, I finally updated………… I'm really sorry about the wait. I'll try harder form now on. Oh and another thing all I have to say is GO BIG ORANGE! Well that's never all I have to say. I could add that guys are jerks… and that the girls I live with are a bunch of bitches… but that's college. Anyway, I'm torn on how many more chapters to make this. Because it could be a lot longer but I could get it done in less if you guys just want me to get to the ending. It won't be as good…… but you have been waiting for a while. Sooo review and let me know. In the end I'm the writer and will do what I want, but I love reviews as I have said before they are almost as good as cookies. I love me reader!
