Life Without Him
Chapter Two


Disclaimer: Yes, I own dragonball z. I stole it and it's all mine. Bwa ha ha! Just kidding. I'm just borrowing these characters to write this kawaii fic. I hope you enjoy. Oh, by the way. Kaely is mine, with permission from my cousin Kaely herself, so if you feel the need to borrow her, please don't. I don't want her to get exploited. Plus, all the fame will go to her head. Now, read and umm, yea, read! Oh, by the way, I don't own the Beetle. (Or the color red ^ ^) It's a nice car and all, but not mine. It you want one, you gotta talk to the Volkswagen Company, not me! Now read! Please?

'Oh, this is my friend Pan. My friend Pan. Friend Pan. Only a friend. Nothing more. Just someone to spar with. Not a girlfriend, just my friend Pan.' She thought with disgust.
"It's very nice to meet you." Pan faked another smile.
"Same here. I'm glad to be meeting all of Trunks' friends. Hey, Bra and I are going shopping tomorrow. I'm sure that she wouldn't mind if you joined us." She smiled warmly.
Trunks started to laugh and Kaely looked at him confused. "Pan, shop?" He finally got out. "Yea, right."
"What do you mean?" She questioned.
"Panny's the biggest tomboy around. She wouldn't be caught dead in a mall."
'Panny? How dare he call me that in front of her?' Pan thought. 'I'll show him. I can be all feminine like everyone else.'
"I'd love to go. Thanks for the invite!" She said pleasantly which caused Trunks to stop laughing. Now he was in an all out grin. He still thought she was hilarious.
"Great!" Kaely smiled. "I can't wait. Meet us a Capsule Corp. tomorrow around two."
Pan just smiled and sat down to eat. The others followed her.
Everyone thought that the saiyans' large appetites would scare off the new girl, but she just laughed and offered to get them more. To make matters worse for Pan, she even got along with Vegeta. She brought his food over to him because he refused to 'share a table with that low-class saiyan Kakarrot.' The ladies got along great with her because she contributed to their chats and the other guys liked her because she wanted to go watch then spar. By the end of the night, Pan was beat. Nothing was going the way she planned and tomorrow she had to spend a whole day at the mall. This was no going good at all.

Kaely and Trunks sat on the living room sofa engrossed in a conversation. Every once and a while one of them would laugh. Pan was beginning to feel sick.
'Hurry up Bra,' she thought. They were all stuck waiting for her to finish getting ready. Pan was going nuts.
Finally, five minutes later, or what seemed like five hours to Pan, Bra made her entrance. Pan walked over to her best friend and Kaely and Trunks stood up from their comfortable positions.
"Bye bro," Bra said and then whispered to Pan, "Aren't they kawaii?"
Pan could only nod.
Trunks walked over to the door holding Kaely's hand smiling to himself. "Have fun ladies. Don't scare off Kay now."
Kaely smiled. "I have to go to work at six thirty tonight so I'll probably call you in the morning. Bye now." She then let go of his hand to give him a peck on the cheek. Trunks ran a hand through his soft lilac hair and watched them leave.
"Well, who's car are we taking?" Pan asked.
"Ummm, how about yours Kay?" Bra suggested. "I could bring a capsule car with us, so that way you can go strait to work. I mean, if that's ok with you of course."
She nodded and the trio was off.

"Oh, this one! You gotta try this one on!" Bra exclaimed holding a red dress up to Pan. She and Kaely had decided to give Pan's tomboy look a toss and glam her up, much to her disliking. But if it was free clothes, who was she to argue…
"No," Kaely interjected. "Pink is much nicer." She put a pink tube top up to Pan. "Plus, it'll show off your tummy and guys think belly-buttons are kawaii." She grinned and then showed off hers with a ring in it. "See," she smiled. "Trunks adores my belly-button, so I bet other guys love to see 'em too!" Pan grumble unnoticeably. 'It's a good thing she doesn't rub Trunks being her boyfriend in my face,' she thought to herself bitterly. 'Cause that would suck."
Bra nodded in agreement. "That's why bikini's rock." Her and Kay looked at each other. "Bathing suits!"
Finally, they all emerged from the mall (with a million bags each) and into the parking lot.
"Well, I guess I'll see you guys later." Kaely said unlocking her car door. "Tell Trunks I'll call him tomorrow after my classes."
Pan looked at her as Bra pulled out her car capsule. "Classes?"
"Yea, I'm working on getting my masters degree and becoming a veterinarian. My graduation is in a few weeks, that is, if I pass the final that I've studying like mad for. Well, I'll see you guys later!"
"Bye!" Bra smiled enthusiastically.
"Yea, see ya around." Pan waved.
Kaely got into her red beetle and drove away, leaving the other two girls. They got into their car as well and continued on home.

"Hi ladies, have fun spending mom's money at the mall?" Trunks questioned as Bra and Pan walked through the kitchen door.
"Yes, we did, not that it's any of your business of anything." Bra said with a grin.
"Ouch," Trunks looked at her pretending to be in pain. "That hurt." Then he turned his attention to Pan. "Hey Pan," she looked at him hopefully. "Goten will be here in a few, wanna spar with us and my dad?"
She sighed. "Sorry Trunks, but Bra and me are busy. Maybe some other time, ne?"
"Ok then, hey did Kay say she was going to call me or something before you guys all split?"
Bra looked at him, "Yea, she has another class tomorrow or something. She said she'd call you after."
"Isn't she great?" he questioned, but before either of them could answer Goten flew through the door and into the kitchen counter, hard. He got up a yelled out the door. "Fuck you Vegeta! I just can't wait to see the look on Bulma's face when she finds out you were fighting in her kitchen. How long will you be on the couch for this time?" Then he looked at Trunks and the girls who were quite confused. "Konichi wa minna!" He greeted cheerfully as the whole group sweat dropped. "The sparring started. I brought Ubuu along too. Hi Pan! What's going on? You joining us?"
She started to shake her head no, but Bra interrupted. "Of course she is! Isn't that right Pan?" she said elbowing her friend. Bra had told her friend that she absolutely had to watch the guys spar because she hoped her dad would let her learn how to soon. If she showed her interest long enough, maybe he'd change his mind about this only being another one of her short-term ideas. "I'll even come out and watch." Trunks gave his sister a funny look as she pushed Pan out the door. Pan could only shrug.
