Makeover
Chapter 1


Pan drummed her fingers on the table holding onto the phone while waiting for the person on the opposite end to answer her query. She heard the rustling of some pages and then a voice…

“I’ll pick you up at lunchtime, I haven’t got any appointments today. We can talk about it then… say 1.00?”

“Ok but don’t bother picking me up though. I’ll be at the library; you know the one that’s a few blocks away from your office? Meet you there at 1.00…yeah…ok ok yep. I’ll do that. Bye then.” Replacing the receiver, she ran upstairs to retrieve her books. She changed quickly and ran downstairs.

“Bye Mom! I’m off to the library,” she yelled as she slammed the door shut behind her.

Videl watched her daughter go. Things weren’t going so well between her and John. She prayed they would be fine. They seemed very much in love.

Videl picked up the flowers and walked towards the table by the window. Arranging the freshly cut flowers in the vase, she looked up and out of the window. The sky was clear blue and the sun was shining bright. She looked out at the scenery and was soon lost in space. She blinked. A huge mass of yellow was coming towards her at a terrific speed. She blinked again and then realized. “Pan?” she whispered.

The door burst open and Pan walked in. Her face was expressionless but her eyes were showed cold fury. She walked up to her room and slammed the door shut. She knew better than to ask her daughter what happened right now. She’d just have to wait till night.

Upstairs…

“How dare he?” Pan muttered. It had happened again. She and John had gone to the café for their lunch date. And once again, he started comparing her with other girls present in the café. He wanted her to be feminine. Feminine? Yeah wear skirts, sway your hips when you walk, bat your eyelashes and smile sweetly, put loads of make up, go shopping, no fighting, NO FIGHTING!! Did he not understand that fighting was in her blood? Damn him! “If someone’s going to like me, he’d better like me for what I am not for how I look,” she thought. But then did he not like her for what she was? He was impressed with her strength, her intelligence; he said he found her charming and witty. He had stopped her from applying lipstick once, saying he loved her natural original look, not made up. So why was he always groaning about her tomboyish behavior? There was nothing wrong with her. Or was there? John was not the first person to tell her this. Her beloved Uncle Goten had also told her that. It was during a sparring session when she had him knocked down and taunted him in a ‘girlie’ way. That was when he had laughed and told her that she definitely needed to become feminine with that goofy smile plastered on his face. She hadn’t minded then but now that was what John was telling her. She had even heard her mother talking to Bulma-san about this.

Pan groaned. She really needed expert help in this matter, someone she could talk to. Perhaps her mother could help…no...not Mom. She needed a person who was a good friend of her and really had the knowledge of this feminine thing or whatever it was. She flopped down on her bed staring at the sky. It was certainly very blue today. Blue… Bra…

“BRA!” Pan jumped up and opened her window. Within seconds, she was on her way to Capsule Corporation. “ Please please Kami, let her be home,” she prayed silently increasing her speed.

Downstairs at her home, Videl felt Pan’s ki fade from her room. She walked up to the window only to see Pan flying away rather speedily.
