Unexpected Changes

It had been 8 weeks since that night at the club, and so far Bra and
Pan had managed to keep their parents from finding out. But lesbianism
wasn't the only thing they had to hide. They also had to hide the fact
that Bra wasn't really Bra. Today they had decided to go see Dendae
for advice. Dendae was an A-sexual, like all of the members from his
race, making him (in the hopeful minds of Bra and Pan anyway) more
tolerant.

Pan and Bra instant transmitted to the top of the lookout. "Uh,
Dendae?" Pan was a little nervous. Dendae was about to be the first
person she told her little story to. "Um, can we ask your advice on
something?"

"Sure, why not. Anything for the granddaughter of Goku. He saved my
people, and I owe him a huge debt." Dendae looked a little lonely,
like he didn't get too many visitors, which was probably true.

"Dendae, Bra and I have a couple of secrets that our parents don't
know about. We have to tell them eventually, but we were wondering how
we should do it." Dendae did not ask what the secret was. He simply
his right hand on Bra's forehead, and his left hand on Pan's forehead.

After a few seconds Dendae's brow began to furrow. Then he started to
shake. He quickly pulled his hands back.

"Uh, I, um, I didn't know it was this kind of secret...boy Vegeta is
probably gonna kill you..." Pan did not know how much of the secret
Dendae had revealed with his mind reading, but then he added, "Tom."

Bra gulped. Perhaps having the real Bra talk to Vegeta first would be
best...

"From what I have heard, relationships like yours are usually
considered embarrassing to the parent, wrong, unholy and disgusting.
If my little Thursdae ever wanted to abandon our people's way of
A-sexual reproduction, I would be very mad." Pan knew that Dendae's
child would grow up being an outcast, but she seriously doubted
something like that would ever happen.

"If you two actually plan on telling your parents about this, you
better prepare yourselves. I guarantee they will try to split you up."
Dendae looked at Bra. "You have a much more serious problem. Tying to
get Vegeta to understand that his child is possessed by a man's
spirit...you really are doomed. Wait." Dendae looked very thoughtful.

"I've got it! I know what you can do! Tell your parents that you are
in love with Tom, but an unfortunate accident caused him to switch
bodies with Bra! Both of your parents will be satisfied, right?" Bra
seemed to like this solution. It was very close to the truth, and
Vegeta was not likely to kill her. But Pan did not look happy.

"I like Dendae's idea, Pan! What's wrong?" Pan looked even sadder.

"Don't you see!?! It's a lie! My parents have the right to know the
truth about our relationship!" Pan could see that Bra was not
convinced.

"Think about the real Bra, Pan. Having to tell Vegeta that she made
the switch voluntarily puts her in a very awkward position. Besides,
do you really think that either of our parents would accept us? They
might never speak to us again!"

"You're right about Bra. She did a lot for us by burning that diary.
We owe it to her. But we should ask. As crazy as it may sound, she may
want to tell her dad." Just then Dendae fell to the floor. As he
started to get up, a large flash of light engulfed him, and a blonde
woman fell from the sky. Bra though she could almost hear the word
"Trapped" being spoken very quietly, but it might have been just her
imagination.

"Amber? How did you get here?" Bra was the only person who recognized
her. All Amber was wearing was a large, smoking lump of cloth that
looked like it used to be a dress of some kind.

Amber looked up at Bra. "How do you know my name?"

"Long story Amber. Would you be by any chance looking for a man named
Tom?" If Amber had sent herself to this world the same why the real
Bra did, Tom was probably why.

"Yes! Yes I am! Could either of you to, um, use that car thing for
me?" Pan looked very confused, but Bra knew what she was talking
about.

"Instant transmission. Yes, I can use it for you." Pan waved goodbye
to Dendae, and the three teleported to a large room, where Dinocaps
were being made.

The three women saw Tom working in an assembly line, slowly putting
the tops on the Dinocaps. Amber rushed over to Tom, and hugged him
tight.

"Oh Tom! I tried to get over you so hard, but I just couldn't! Then I
used your computer and found out why you accidentally left, and then I
did the exact same thing you did! I hope you don't mind, but I kinda
set fire to your house...I love you, Tom!"

Tom was speechless. This was too good to be true, a miracle. The bell
for lunch sounded, and Tom slowly kissed Amber.

After a good five minutes of kissing, Bra and Pan got the idea that
they should wait a little to ask Tom about Vegeta. When they came back
at nine o'clock, Amber was no longer at the factory. Tom walked up
them. "I owe you both a huge favor. Nothing this wonderful could ever
be repaid in money, but I have an idea. I know that by now you must be
very nervous about telling your parents about your relationship,
tonight. I will tell Vegeta everything for you."

"Do you have any idea how angry he could be??? That is suicide!" Bra
could not believe this.

"I asked Amber to marry me. No matter how angry Vegeta is, he has to
know that his daughter is going to get married. Besides, of the four
of us, he is the least likely to kill me. I AM his daughter, after
all."

Both Bra and Pan could see that there was no convincing Tom. "Thank
you, Bra. It will be easier if our families here it from somebody else
first. Less shock. Don't you agree, Pan?" Bra looked at Pan, who
seemed very deep in thought.

"I guess it would be best. I'm not sure that I would have the courage
to tell my parents about me, anyway. If Vegeta tells them, it will
probably be better." Pan and Bra both thanked Tom again, and
disappeared. Spending the night in Pan's apartment was probably best
for tonight. Bra had heard (and experienced) that after couples have
been together for over 2 months, times start to wind down, and the
romance becomes less exiting. Many times, couples even start not
liking sex as much as they used to.

But this was not the case for Bra and Pan. If anything, it seemed like
their life together was a never-ending upward spiral. They never got
tired of spending all of their time together, and the bedroom
activities...well, if anybody said that the sex was starting to wind
down, they would have to be deaf, blind, and unconscious.

Pan started to kiss Bra with a passion, and they both forgot their
parental worries...

Bra and Pan awoke at the same time. Bra found that Pan had fallen
asleep on top of her again, which happened often. Both girls found
this very sexy, and Bra never had to worry about getting any bruises
due to her Sayin skin.

Normally the girls would have spent at least another hour in bed
together before getting dressed, but they wanted to know how Vegeta
took the news about them. So they got dressed immediately, then tore
their clothes off, then spent another hour in bed together, then they
got dressed.

Bra and Pan agreed to see Vegeta first. The instant transmitted to
him, and found that he was already waiting for them.

"Well I was wondering when you two would show up. My real daughter
already told me everything. You," Vegeta pointed to Bra, "I have
nothing to say to. I don't know you, and what you did was only an
accident, and then it was Bra's wish. I am not angry with you. But
you," Vegeta pointed at Pan, "You think that it is OK to sleep with my
daughter without my permission? If it weren't for the fact that your
uncle can go Super Sayin 6, I would kill you where you stand. But, as
it is, I will just have to hope that you did not take advantage of her
sexual ignorance to spark a relationship." Pan shook her head, with
fear in her eyes.

"Bra had feelings for me long before I had feelings for her Vegeta. I
did not take advantage of her in any way." Vegeta smirked.

"I find that very hard to believe, but for my own sake, I have to. I
already told Gohan and Videl about you, and believe me, my reception
will seem warm compared to what they have in store for you." Pan
looked very shocked. Perhaps Tom did not do the right thing after
all...

"Do you want to wait until tomorrow to talk to them, Pan?" Bra was not
sure she was ready for this.

"I think it would be best if I got it over with, Bra." Pan and Bra
said goodbye to Vegeta, and then instant transmitted to Gohan and
Videl's house.

Gohan and Videl were sitting on a sofa in the middle of the room that
Bra and Pan appeared in. Both of them had very serious faces.

"Pan, I only want to ask you one question. You had Tom. You had the
man you loved. How could you have made him choose to be a woman like
that? If you really were in love, you would not have cared. Why
couldn't you accept Tom for who he was?" Videl's question seemed like
an unanswerable one, but Bra spoke up.

"Pan did not tell me to do it. It was my choice. I wanted her to be
happy." But Videl was not satisfied. "But Pan, why couldn't you just
have loved Tom for Tom? Why did you have to make him change for love?"
This time Pan was ready.

"If it was me in Bra's place I would have done it too. I could not
change who was, but Tom could. Tom loved me and he respected me. He
knew that I was who I was, though and though. Aren't you even happy
that I'm in love?"
Gohan looked at Pan. "This is just very hard for us to accept dear. We
are happy that you are in love, but we think you might just be a
little confused. Why not try seeing some more guys before you commit
to something like this?" Pan could feel tears in her eyes.

"This isn't some kind of experiment or fling! This is me, this is who
I am! I am not messing around, I'm in love! Can't you see that?" Pan
was trying her best to hold back tears.

"I don't think you know what you are saying, dear. I know Bra is
pretty, but that doesn't automatically equal..." Videl's comment was
cut short. Bra powered up to a Super Sayin and started to scream.

"I AM NOT GOING TO CHANGE! IF YOU TWO CAN'T ACCEPT ME, THEN I WILL
LIVE MY LIFE WITHOUT MY PARENTS!"

Gohan acted like he had been expecting a breakdown like this all
along. "Dear, we didn't mean to upset you, we only want you to
understand that what you call love really is..."

Pan could not take it anymore. She instant transmitted out of the
house. Bra looked up at the bad parents.

"I do have the mind of a male, you do know that. Shouldn't that bring
you some comfort?" Videl shook her head.

"Our daughter is just confused..." Bra cut Videl off mid sentence.

"No she's not. If I were you I would start working on trying to accept
her for the woman she is. She is old enough to think for herself. I
have nothing more to say to you."

And Bra disappeared as well.
