Chapter Six: Showers, Shopping, and Drinks

An hour later Trunks and Vegeta wandered out of the training room. Trunks headed upstairs to take another shower and Vegeta headed for the fridge. On a rare moment of sweetness he bent down and briefly kissed Bulma before opening the fridge. She smiled up at him, after being with him almost thirty years she was only mildly surprised by his small gestures of affection. "Hey Vegeta, was Trunks acting funny today?" Bulma asked. He finished his water before answering her, "Maybe, he seemed to be pushing himself harder than normal and I do know he was in there earlier because his program was still loaded. Why do you want to know?" he asked before pulling out the chair next to hers. She leaned over onto the table and lowered her voice. "Well, when the two of you were in there Bra and Pan came downstairs. Bra lent Pan a dress and they had fixed her hair and everything and when I asked why she was all dressed up Bra said it was to attract a guy, and then she let it slip that it was Trunks, so I was wondering if the attraction was mutual." Bulma explained and frowned. "I'm not entirely sure I Like that idea, although we don't know for sure how he feels, so that's good I suppose. Of course it's nothing against Pan. She's a sweetheart, but he's so much older than her." Bulma frowned again. Vegeta sighed, "why does it matter, he's a grown man, if he want to take the brat to bed then he can, he can have any kind of relationship he wants." Bulma glared at him, she did not want to think about the possibility of Trunks and Pan in that way. She knew her children were not innocent, but she preferred not to think about it. She wanted to get back at Vegeta for putting that image in her head so she said, "oh, ok since he can have whatever relationship he chooses and we shouldn't care who it is, does that mean you don't mind that your "royal" blood could mix with Goku's?" she said the last part snidely, hoping that the mention of Goku would make him mad. He frowned but didn't immediately answer. "Be that it may that she is Kakarott's blood, at least it is saiyan blood, that is far better than if were to take a girl who was from earth. " he smirked at her, knowing his answer would anger her, but he meant what he said, if his son choose any girl he would rather it be the one with saiyan blood than one without. When they had started this discussion Bulma had only been mildly concerned about the whole situation, but now she knew she didn't have any control over it. Bra and Pan were determined and now she suspected Vegeta had decided he would influence things as well. Bulma sighed, maybe now she'd get the grandchildren she had been wanting lately. She couldn't let ChiChi be the only one with grandkids.

Trunks emerged from his second shower of the day exhausted. "I'm never this tired after training with dad, what's my problem." Trunks muttered to himself before flinging open the door to his room. He flung his towel in the corner and flopped down on his bed. After lying there a moment he decided he didn't feel like going down to his office to work on the new account proposal he had brought home and decided to take a nap instead. He pulled a sheet over his naked body and forced his mind into the meditative state his father had taught him with the purpose of forcing all the thoughts of Pan out of his head. When he finally fell asleep his mind was clear and he was completely unaware that he was the only one in his family who didn't know about Pan's feelings for him.

Pan was being dragged from store to store by Bra and Marron at the mall. She liked to shop, but she would never be able to keep up with those two. "No more, I can't go in one more shop." Pan finally protested. Bra and Marron begged her to go in just a couple of more stores but Pan refused. Since they knew that she wouldn't give in and let them shop some more they decided to grab a late lunch before they went home. They sat down at their favorite café and sipped fruity umbrella drinks while they waited for their food. "So Pan, what's this about you having the hots for Trunks?" Marron asked once they had ordered. Marron had learned bits and pieces of Pan's situation through Bra's teasing while they were shopping. Pan took her time answering because she wasn't really sure about the answer herself. "I'm not sure, its like I'm all of a sudden really attracted to him. It's actually kind of strange." Pan answered and shrugged her shoulders before taking a sip of her drink. "Ohh, so are you going to jump his bones then?" Marron asked happily. It was a rare thing to get to tease Pan about a man, especially one as hot as Trunks. "Marron, that's rather crass, of course she's not going to just "jump his bones", at least, that's not all she's going to do" Bra tried to admonish her friend for the crude remark but ended up smirking. "Hello, you guys? I'm right here. What if he doesn't want me?" Pan asked, suddenly afraid, "he is a lot older than me, I mean why would he want someone like me?" "Oh, don't worry about it. I'm sure that he wants you you're great. He just might not know that he want you yet, and if that's the case then we'll just have to make him realize it." Bra waved away Pan's worried questions with her explanation. She had seen the almost invisible sparks that had started flying around the two of them in the last couple of weeks. She was almost certain that Trunks felt the same way as the pretty black haired girl sitting across from her. By the time their food arrived they girls were deep into a discussion about how to make him fall for her. By the end of the meal they realized just how many drinks they had consumed and reached the conclusion that none of them should drive home.

Walking out to the car Bra pulled out her phone. "Who are you calling?" Marron asked her. "I'll call Mom, she won't get mad and she'll come to get us." Bra answered as she started to dial her number. "No way, you can't call her. Bra have you ever came home drunk before when your parents knew about it? They won't be thrilled about it. Give me that, I have a better idea." Pan grabbed the phone out of her friend's hand and dialed a number. "Hi, Uncle Goten, are you busy right now? You're not, great. Can you do Bra and me a huge favor then? Will you come and get us in the city we can't drive home. Because we are just the slightest bit drunk. Thanks Goten, see you in a few minutes." Pan handed the phone back to Bra and looked at her friends. "All taken care of, Goten will be here shortly and no parents have to find out." Pan smiled brightly. She knew that Bulma and Vegeta would not appreciate them coming home drunk, especially in the middle of the afternoon. They sat down on a bench outside the café to wait for Goten.
