BP Adventures-Chapter 2

 Bra looked out the window when she heard the roar of an air capsule car.
 “ Hey Niichan came to visit, and he brought Goten!  Come on Panny.  I haven’t seen Goten in a while and he’s real vulnerable right now.  This is perfect.  I can wear that khaki skirt I just bought!  You can wear your turquoise skirt! “
 “ No thanks Bra.  I never wear skirts.  Tweedle Dumb and Dumber would have field day with me. “
 “ Fine, have it your way. Come on let’s go down and welcome them. “
 Pan heaved a heavy sigh and followed Bra downstairs.  Bra was too energetic for her own good sometimes.
 “ Niichan, Goten what are you guys doing here?  Don’t you have work? “
 “Aa, but we decided to take a break.  It is Friday,“ Trunks said as he rolled his eyes.
 “ And we haven’t seen you guys in a while.  How’s my little niece?  Still as manly as ever ?  Have you gotten a boyfriend yet? “
 Pan glared at her uncle.
 “ Aaawwww isn’t she cute when she’s pissed, Goten? Look at that lip action when she pouts!  Quick, get the camera! Cuchie Cuchie Koo! “
 Trunks walked over to Pan.  He pinched and pulled on her cheeks making her flush with embarrassment and anger.  { Oh no, Panny is turning red.  If Niichan doesn’t stop doing that he’s in BIG trouble. }
 “ Niichan!  Stop making fun of Panny before she gets real angry and you guys start to fight and break everything. “
 “ Alright, alright.  What’re you guys doin’ tonight? “
 “ Girl stuff.  Panny is sleeping over. “
 “ Oi Goten.  Let’s take these two out for dinner tonight. “
 “ Yeah girls how about it?  Our treat. “
 “ Oh great now this’ll give bakatachi’s a chance to act retarded in public.  No thanks.  I don’t feel up to being publicly humiliated tonight. “
 { I’m a baka! Dinner wit’ Trunks! Woohoo!  Well Goten and Bra will be there, but who cares, less tension.  Why the hell did I say no?  Ouch! } Once again Bra had interrupted Pan’s train of thought.  This time with a nudge.
“ A hahah.  Panny’s just kidding.  Dinner sounds great! “
 Pan looked at Bra, wincing in pain from that painful nudge. { Chikusho!  That hurt!  Oh well, at least there’s a reason I’m gonna go to dinner tonight with Trunks without sounding desperate.  I’ll have to thank Bra later.  Like five years later ‘cuz of that nudge. }
“  Give me and Panny half an hour to change, k? “
 “ Ok, come on Goten you can borrow some of my clothes.  We should change too. “
 Half an hour passed.  They all decided to go eat at the Sakura restaurant.  Bra wore a short, khaki skirt with a silky burgundy tank and a transluscent button-down shirt over it.  Pan chose to wear leather flares and a satin ocean-blue tank top, much to Bra’s dismay.  Trunks dressed himself in black pants and a navy blue button-down short-sleeved shirt.  Goten borrowed Trunks’ navy blue pants and  a shirt similar to Trunks’ but in white. They arrived at Sakura’s and was seated near the window.
 “Let’s go see the new horror flick after dinner.  I heard it was scary but funny too.”
 “ Panny!  I heard there’s tons of blood and guts in the movie.  Who would want to see that? “
 “ We would! “
 “ Eh?  Niichan?  Goten? You guys want to see it also? Oh fine.  It’s not like I have much of a choice.  I can tell from the looks on your faces. “
 Looking from face to face, Bra could tell they were about to concoct some devious plan to get her to go.  Shortly after, the food had arrived.  Trunks and Goten each ordered everything on the menu, getting several dazed looks from the waitress. Pan ordered chicken teriyaki and Bra ordered beef sukiyaki.  When dinner was finally finished, the group decided to see the horror film that Pan had mentioned earlier.  Bra and Pan insisted on paying for the tickets.
Trunks, Pan, Bra and Goten found a row of empty seats. The two girls sat in between Trunks and Goten, with Pan sitting next to Trunks and Bra next to Goten.
 “ You know you guys didn’t have to pay for the tickets.  Me and Goten said we were gonna take you guys out tonight. “
 Trunks and Goten gave them critical looks.
 “ Hey Tweedle Dumb and Dumber!  You guys paid for dinner.  It’s only fair for atashitachi to pay for the movie tickets.  Relax! ”
 Suddenly an idea came to Pan.
 “ Aawwww!  Would you look at the way Tweedle Dumber is pouting?  Isn’t that precious?  Cuchie Cuchie Koo!!! “
 Pan repeated what Trunks had done to her earlier.  She took his cheeks between her fingers and pulled them wide, while she shook his head from side to side.  Trunks’s eyes grew wide at Pan’s touch.  A light hint of pink became noticeable on his face.  The shade became darker with each shake until he finally turned beet red.  Bra started to laugh.  Even Goten couldn’t help but laugh at his best friend’s predicament.
 Trunks grabbed Pan’s hands and gently pried them off his face.
 “ Hmph!  You made your point. “
Trunks said still holding Pan’s hands in his.  { Oh Kami!  He’s holding my hands.  Aaaaahhhh what do I do? I can’t blush.  I know, I’ll act just like him.  Chikusho! But looking into his eyes makes me nervous too.  But if I don’t he’ll think he won.  Never!  That’s not happening. }
 “  What’s the matter Dumber?  Is something wrong? “
 Pan asked innocently giving him her infamous little-girl look.  Trunks huffed out another hmph staring into her eyes.
 “ Hey Bra you wanna go get some food? “
 “ Uh . . . Sure Goten!  I have this craving for popcorn anyway.  Panny, Niichan, what do you guys want? “
 Pan was relieved at the distraction.  She didn’t know how much longer she could keep the act up.  She turned around to face Bra.
 “ Get me some nachos and a drink. “
 Trunks took the hint, even though he secretly enjoyed what was happening.  { Kuso!  Just when it was starting to get interesting.  I never get to argue like this wit’ anyone.  Oh well. }
 “ Get me whatever your getting Goten. “
 Goten nodded.  He and Bra got up and headed to the refreshment stand.
 Since Trunks still had possession of her hands, Pan was forced to face him when she turned around. { Ack! I’m gonna stare at the door till Bra and Tweedle Dumb come back.  They better hurry.  Trunks is purposely holding onto  my hands so we can continue.  That yaro only pretended to stop when Goten and Bra asked us what we wanted. How evil. }
 “ Hey Meen Bow Toe.  They just went to get some food, not to Mar, they’ll be back. “
 { So she thinks I was gonna stop just ‘cuz Goten and Imoutochan wanted me too?!  Ha!  She knows me better than that.  We’re gonna finish this. }
 { Chikusho! That yaro! Goten and Bra better hurry! }  Swallowing a huge gulp of air, Pan slowly turned around.
 “ I know that you pea-brain.  I was just waiting for them to come back.  They’re gonna need some help carrying all that food.  Knowing you and Tweedle Dumb, there’s probably enough food to feed a country! “
 “ Gimme a break, Goten can hold up all that food with his chi and make it look like he’s holding everything. “
 “ Well Sor-ry!  I didn’t know that.  I never bought food that could last someone for ten years.  Unlike some people I know. “
 “ We’re men.  Men eat! “
 “ Sure you guys like to eat and eat and eat. . . “
 Just then she pictured Trunks and Goten stuffing their faces as fat and balding middle-aged men, which made her giggle.
 { Why the hell is she laughing?  Is she tryin’ to say I’m fat?  How can she think I’m fat?  I’ve been trainin’ since I was a kid! }
 “  What’s so funny? “  Trunks asked curiously.
 “ Panny?  Daijoubo? “
 Bra asked her friend.  She and Goten just came back with the snacks.   Like Trunks said, Goten used his chi to hold up everything.  Bra was carrying the drinks.
 “ Meen Bow Toe just said that me and Goten eat too much.  I dunno why she finds it funny.  Goten you have a weird neice. “
 They all looked at Pan confused.  Pan finally managed to stop.
 “  Ok Ok Gomen.  It was nothing.  Sit down.  They’re starting to dim the lights.  The movie’s starting. “
 Bra and Goten took their seats.  Trunks let go of Pan’s hands and allowed her to lean back against her seat.
*°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°*
 “ Bakatachi’s are gonna stay over at Capsule Corp. tonight?  Oh great.  More  torture. “
Pan groaned as she swept the bits of popcorn and nacho remnants off her shirt. She had spent half the movie throwing food at Trunks, and the other half holding back her laughter.
{ If I can only get another peek at his butt. . .  That glob of nachos, cheese, popcorn and chocolate I put on his seat before he sat down gave his pants a bulky brown stain!  People who see it will think he pooped in his pants.  I think Bra’s talking to me.  I better listen before she hurts me again. }
 “ Shoosh Panny.  Goten is welcome to stay over anytime he wants. “
 Pan looked from Bra’s dreamy face to Goten’s equally as dreamy countenance to Trunks.  She gave him a did-we-miss-something look.  Trunks shrugged his shoulders.  Bra and Goten walked out the movie theatre together, arms linked.
 “ Psss. . .  Dumber.  Are Tweedle Dumb and Bra . . . um. . . a couple? “
 “ I dunno.  I guess we find out later tonight huh? “
 Pan nodded as they walked out, side by side.  { I bet something happened when those two went to get the snacks.  But that was at most ten minutes!  Bra’s been going gaga over Tweedle Dumb as long as I’ve been about Trunks.  There’s no way they hooked up in ten minutes.  Bra better tell me what’s going on when we get to Capsule Corp. }
 { Imoutochan and Goten together?  I don’t get it.  I always noticed the way she looked at him, but I thought it was just a crush.  She should be over it now.  She’s seventeen and he’s my age!  Oh well Goten’ll tell me later.  Good, he can tell me when we spar.  I don’t think I’m fat.  What was Meen Bow Toe laughing about?  She laughed even more when the movie was over.  I don’t get it.  Does she see something I don’t? }  Trunks squeezed his bicep.  { It feels like a rock, not fatty. }  He opened the door to his air capsule car in frustration.
*°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°*
 “  I’m gonna take a shower.  Bra, I need you to help me organize all the clothes we bought at the mall today. “
 “ Huh?  Oh sure.  I need to shower as well.  Goten, I’ll see you later at the TV room k? “
 “ Ok Bra-chan.“
 The second the door of Bra’s room was closed. . .
 “ Oh Panny!  Goten is just sooooo wonderful! “
 “ I was just about to ask you about that.  What is with you two? And he just called you Bra-chan! “
 “ It all started when we went to buy the snacks. . . “
*°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°º°*
  “ Goten what’s going on wit’ you and my imoutochan? “
 “ Trunks, I’ve found her.  The one. “
 “ Huh?  Man, don’t tell me imoutochan is the woman you’ve been waiting for all your life.  She’s not even out of high school yet! “
 “ Trunks listen to me man.  Something changed when we were in the theatre.
